its not a bad game .. but i think they are making BBall a bit too excessive with the controls,its like you have to do a street fighter move/combo just to get a shot now lol
Bro thank you for this video, i just bought 2k22 last week and after watching this video i finally won my first game!! Lol i won with a buzzer beater in the last quarter 88-88 and i hit a 3 pointer!! I was happy!
The fact that this is a legit move...as in you can do it IRL....I love it. It's nice, because they're simple reads on the floor in terms of shot opportunity & spacing. Sorry, I don't have next gen. Great vid tho!
@@nannyschicken8903 I prob will cause like this shot meter has made me regret spending 70 dollars on this cause I can’t even play the way I want since I can’t hit a shot
Same I can’t make a single shot, with or without shot meter on, and they got defenders clamping u every step of the way even the ones who have D- perimeter Defense lolol 🤦🏻♂️
THE TIP TO SWITCHING THE COLOUR TO RED IS SO SMART! That alone I can do! I'm pretty cruddy at the game so it will take a bit to get the dribble move mastered, but I kinda get it, get open, make the bar easier to see, practice the timing. I'm such a casual basketball fan and player of the game and I just want to be able to hit shots outside of the paint!
Thank you so much. I've been playing but getting blown out so was no fun. Could not hit a jumper let alone a 3 for nothing. Thank you again it helps a lot
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights on this game, I’ve been meaning to get into this game for ages, and since the drop off of COD, I think this year I’ll be purchasing it… I really want to submerge myself into this game and along with that, learn to how master it. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You really saved my ass with turning the meter color red. I was getting spanked 21-2. I won the last 2 out of 3 on triple threat my team is what I always play. Thanks a lot for the info tho. Definitely got a new subscriber here.
Considering how 2k's server usually work, easy green shooting is a must. Imagine to be very difficult and the same time their famous servers lagging while on shooting.
its terrible bro. i have gigabit optics connected to PS5 through cable and it still lags like hell... i would love to enjoy the game online and earn those nice player rewards but this is just frustrating to play for me...
2k21's shot meter was their worst and most frustrating mechanic ever. It was too small, you had to sit right up on the TV to even see it. It vanished to quickly, the fact that you had to press L2/LT to lock the needle in. Even worse I downloaded 2k21 on my console and after about 6 months of playing it or so. All of a sudden the shot meter broke or got bugged or something to where; every time I activated a shot and the meter popped up, the starting position for the aiming needle would be either far right or far left. Forcing me to jerk the RS to align the needle as oppose to pushing it softly and hoping it lands in between the blocks. It was not relative to what side of the court you where shooting from either, that's how I now it was a bug. Unless the player I was controll had 85+ Mid rating or 85+ 3pt rating, that made it virtually impossible to make jumpers outside the paint even it I was wide open. I tried to play 2k21 for about another 2 or 3 months and it never got fixed so I just gave up and went back to playing 2k20. 2k should never again stray away from the vertical meter or just holding down the shot stick until the player reaches the peak or "CROWN" (as I call it) of their shooting animation. This is the most efficient way to shoot. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!.
Wow, that color meter change tip, game changing. Really appreciate the nice editing and slow breakdown super helpful! Good stuff! Binging your channel right, love it. If you are looking for suggestions on NBA 2k22 I would love to see you do play calling breakdowns. Thanks for the great content!
Yeah I realized that the second I got the game and changed it to pink ASAP. No clue why 2K thought mixing yellow and yellowish white was a good idea for a shot meter
Thanks Sam my current 3point stat is 90+ my scoring average on Pro difficulty is 69%. In rec around 20% I struggle with speed boost players and switching side to side like in this video I can't keep up with them in rec they score 35 to 50 points against me every time. I only have 3 defence badges so very weak in that area.
I can’t make any shots it’s impossible to get green...how am I suppose to turn meter off and use the stick when I can’t shoot with the meter n button way...smh
Just want to ask, I’m on career mode doing the combine and not one of my shots have went in, doesn’t matter how close I get to perfect it’s always early or late is this down to my stats or just how it works
Can you please provide a tutorial on layups/inside for big men. My opponents keep making contested inside shots like it’s wide open even though I’m contesting.

@@keepintomyself try to use a jumper you used to buy and have the speed not to fast but not to slow either and just do some shooting drills and you should be fine just don’t look at the meter when you shot watch your jump shot animation so you can get the timing down Kyrie jumper is pretty good to start off with smooth and easy to time

Thanks alot bro .... am making all my shots and my friends are getting frustrated
😂
last 2k game i played was 2k16 and i would drain 3s like nothing but i bough 2k22 since its only $10 and i cant shoot for shit now
I personally use purple so that’s there’s enough contrast to the white meter but it dosnt blot out the line
Try turning it off. It starts to become an animation thing and you can get the timing down.
There is no purple?
The gem has been dropped
My problem is that even when I green my player still misses and I can't get badges if I can't hit shots😭
