Any way to tell teammates to shoot?

In Myplayer? Or how about to do a lob pass?

Tell em to shoot - No. In the best case you can pass the ball to them when there are like 4 seconds on the shot clock so they have to shoot the ball

Lob Pass - No. Best case scenario, you can ask for an alley opp

Yep, that's what I meant. How do I get them to alley oop to me?

You press same buttons when you throw alley-oop. If you don't know that either, check in controls.

Even though you have to press the same button, your teammates won't throw an alley opp to you whenever you want it and you ask for the ball. There are some aspects which need to be checked before your teammates pass you the ball ( Be alone near the basket when you move towards it, no traffic etc. )

You can tell them to shoot with the X or Square button on the controller... It works for me in myplayer but they will not shoot everytime, mostly when they're open. It seems to work just like calling for a pass... Sometimes they will shoot, sometimes they will ignore.

That's like a placebo effect. I don't think pressing X or Square will do anything. It was just random timing I assume
