Shooting Problems

[Bad_Intentions]

Ok, i just picked this game up a couple days and i'm having some severe shooting problems. I tried practice alot, but believe me shooting in the game and shooting in practice are 2 different worlds! I can hit all day in practice, but when other players are around in games i suck it up.

Ok, one of my big problems is that I get good shooters wide open shots and they tend to do the quick release thing like someone is about to block it. I also find alot of my shots being short. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem

I play with the Knicks, Houston and Van Horn shoot pretty good, but I can't make a f#é"ù$d basket with McDyess !!
If I drive, he either loses the ball or gets blocked by the rim
Those 15 footers -typical McDyess- are ALWAYS bricks.

What am I doing wrong ? I try releasing it on the highest point, just like in practice ...

Oh and another thing:
Shaq: 18/20 FG
Great realism EA, great realism.

Is there a post which explains "the moves" anywhere ? Can't seem to find it (I'm guessing there are numerous ways to use the crossover button)

there are tutorial video's here that show how to perform all of the moves in the game. Just look under the Tutorial Videos header for the link

at first i was shooting really badly too..but i found that i wasn't holding down the shoot button long enough..so try holding it longer then you usually do until you find the feel. i play on cpu control btw
