shot timing setting

Also: Shot Timing · Shots and Layups

The controller setting that decides who times the shot — you or the game. yew2K needs Shots and Layups.

The controller setting in NBA 2K that decides whether jump shots and layups are timed by you or by the game. If the game times the shot, no release timing of yours changes the result.
