you can turn on the shooting meter in the options, but even with it on it is very hard to make a shot.

You have to pull straight down on the analog stick when you shoot. If you notice on the shooting meter at the bottom there is a tiny red line that shows if you pulled the stick out of line.

The most I ever made was 12, I'll try with the shot meter and see how I do.

I got it figured out, I got 29 with Ray Allen. All you do is release the right stick when the bar is right next to the line ( shot meter )

Yeah, I can consistently hit 20-25.
Don't push up, just let go of the stick. Use the meter if you need it.

try releasing the shot stick at different fractions of a second on the top of his jump, sometimes even a fraction after the peak of his jump. i made 19 with ray allen by doing this. try creating a player with high 3-pt %age and have a feel of his 3-pt shooting timing. this helped me.
