Easy shots
Before attempting a shot when you are closely guarded, try stepping back to clear space and increase your chances of making the basket. To step back, tap Right Analog-stick Down when you are standing and dribbling the ball. At any point during this move, you can press Shoot to launch your shot. This is also a great move if your player is standing just inside the arc and want to try a 3-pointer instead of a long-range 2.
