I have the opositive side problem, i want to shot a Mide range shot with Luol Deng cause he is behind the three points line.
You can to try to pass the free man pressing:
Left Joystick in the wright direction + R1 + (freee man icon)
It is a very good pass system.
Other quicks:
1.Yes it is a poor style that only use the cheeser(i think)
2.I didnt see the ball taken off the rim, it seems to be but the ball really is going out.
3.When your players was blocked and the other team gets the possesion is because the last man in touch the ballwas your player, see the replay . (not in all times)
4.yes , if you press the X very fast and soon.
