Okay, so, I wanted to get good at shooting in NBA 2K23 on my Nintendo Switch. I mean, shooting is like, the main thing, right? So, I started by just messing around, playing some games, and I quickly realized that my shooting was, well, pretty bad.
I remembered reading somewhere that you gotta press and hold the ‘Y’ button to shoot. Sounded simple enough. But every time I tried, the ball just wouldn’t go in. It was super frustrating!
- Find the Shooting Button: First, I spent some time figuring out which button is for shooting. It’s the ‘Y’ button, big and easy to find.
- Holding the Button: Then, I practiced just holding down the ‘Y’ button. The longer you hold it, the further the shot, or so I thought.
I started to watch some videos online, you know, just to see how the pros do it. They made it look so easy! There was this one guy, JJ Redick, a 3-point specialist, who had a tutorial. I watched it like, five times.
I tried to copy what he did. Pressing ‘Y’, holding it, trying to get the timing right. But it was way harder than it looked. I kept missing, bricking shot after shot. It felt like I was never gonna get it.
- Practice, Practice, Practice: I realized there’s no shortcut. I just had to keep practicing. Shooting from different spots, different angles, with different players.
- Timing is Everything: This was the tough part. I had to release the ‘Y’ button at just the right moment to get a good shot. Too early or too late, and it’s a miss.
But you know what? Slowly but surely, I started to see some improvement. I was making more shots, getting the feel for the timing. It was like a lightbulb moment when I finally started to get the hang of it.
- Pay Attention: I started paying more attention to the player’s animation, the way they jump and release the ball. It helped me figure out the timing better.
- Patience is Key: I learned to be patient, not rush my shots. Take a moment, get set, and then shoot.
It took a lot of time, a lot of missed shots, and a whole lot of patience. But finally, I can say I’m not totally terrible at shooting in NBA 2K23 anymore. I can actually make some baskets now! It’s a good feeling. And I’m still practicing, trying to get even better. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be as good as those pros. Well, maybe not, but a guy can dream, right?
