New shot meter
NBA 2K21 has been released this year with new changes. To further try to throw the ball into the basket, the green throwing bar has been removed. Instead of filling the bar, this year you should leave the Pro Stick or the shot button in the middle of a yellow indicator. This yellow indicator changes position depending on where you are on the ground, meaning you’re never shooting the same shot twice.
You need time to master this throwing method, but this new throwing method forces you to master different positions on the ground that you did not think about before.
