you have to understand how detailed some players are in this game. I remember playing in game rooms with Dahool (I think that was his name) in Out of Bounds. He knew exactly where to aim on every shot...if his ball would get a kick forward....or if it would stick. Very mathmatical (which I know this game isn't quite the same that way). It was insane how accurate he was. And remember, there are a lot of short cuts in this game, which was something I missed when World Invitational came out. Practice, practice, practice
