NBA 2K21 Update, Hotfix

Players of NBA 2K21 were surprised when they started the game, as their old handy shooting meter had been replaced with a new one that had been changed drastically. The new shot meter was a mix of aiming and timing and these changes were made by NBA 2K21 to create a bigger skill difference between the players. instead, it just ended up annoying its fans and players, with them wanting the old traditional shot meter back. This has been one of the major concerns of the players with the game.

This issue was brought to 2K's notice and they were prompt to provide a solution for it with a shooting hotfix. NBA 2K21 addressed this issue in an official tweet stating, "2K21 shooting hotfix will hit tomorrow 9/6 for Rookie, Pro, and All-Star difficulty levels Shooting stays the same on higher difficulties and Neighborhood Hope this helps the newcomers. Keep the feedback coming!". So players can have their handy old shooting meter back for some game modes at least.
