the shot stick is still there. you just have to HOld that LT as a modifier to turn that right stick back into the shot stick.Hopefully they have alternative controls where shotstick is normal but if you hold LT it does the dribble control like they changed it
basically the right stick is your arms and the left is your legs. just like NBA ELITE. lol.
but i said it when Elite dropped. that this was the new direction of hoop games. you need to have full control over your dribble moves. not hitting some modifier button so the guy can go into some predetermined dribble routine. thats lame.
