Shooting & timing

Green windows, rhythm, fades, and the settings that decide them. 18 entries, alphabetical.

  1. § 10

    blend

    The jumpshot-creator slider that sets how much each of two releases contributes.

  2. § 13

    The gather at the start of a jumper; a no-dip shot skips most of it and releases sooner.

    The grade for a release outside the green window. In yew2K: early → raise the value, late → lower it.

  5. § 26

    green window

    The span of time in a jump shot where releasing counts as perfectly timed.

    shot contest

    How closely a defender is on the shooter at release; contested shots carry a penalty.
