How fast the right stick travels on a rhythm shot; 2K27 grades it as part of timing.

How fast the right stick travels on a rhythm shot. NBA 2K27 grades tempo as part of shot timing: a stick movement that snaps up instantly shrinks the green window, while a smooth sweep keeps it wide.

Tempo is separate from the release point, which is when the movement happens.
