Button Rhythm

Rhythm with Button

Use this mode to trigger Rhythm Shots using a button instead of the right stick.

  • Toggle ON/OFF as needed — works alone or with other Rhythm modes.
  • Choose which button activates the shot: SQ/X or L1/LB.
  • This is NOT an autogreen. You must still time your release.
    Rhythm Shooting simply provides a much larger green window (~60% larger).
  • When activated, your SQ/X button is remapped to RS DOWN to begin the Rhythm Shot.
  • On release, your Tempo value determines the automatic flick up.
  • If you use SQ/X, that button becomes dedicated to Rhythm Shooting.
    Use Button Remap to restore dunks, steals, layups, etc.
  • Rhythm Shooting uses a timing window that is different from your Jumpshot Creator cue.
    Practice is recommended — see the Practice and Values Guide.

Tempo Values

Tempo Standing

Default: 40 ms
Controls tempo for all standstill Rhythm Shots.

Tempo Fading

Default: 60 ms
Controls tempo for all fading Rhythm Shots (when Fade w Button is ON).

Tempo No Dip

Default: 36 ms
Controls tempo for catch-and-shoot no-dip shots while holding L2/LT.

Tempo Adjustments

These values control the timing of the stick down → stick up (or vice-versa) motion.

If your feedback consistently shows Slightly ___:

  • Slightly Fast: Increase your Tempo
  • Slightly Slow: Decrease your Tempo

Adjustment controls:

  • DPAD LEFT/RIGHT: ±4 to 8 ms
  • DPAD UP/DOWN: ±1 ms

For precise measurements, follow the Practice and Values Guide.

Button Remap

If Rhythm with Button is set to SQ/X, your normal SQ/X actions move here.

Choose which button replaces your SQ/X functions:

  • R3 (PS) / RS IN (XB)
  • L1 (PS) / LB (XB)

Use this to regain dunks, layups, steals, and other face-button actions.

Fade w Button

Controls fade behavior so you don’t accidentally trigger Go-To Shots.

  • Fade ON: Holds RS Up while moving to force fade animations.
  • Fade OFF: Holds RS Down for standard Rhythm Shots.

Random Dribbling When Shooting?

You are triggering Go-To Shot animations from the Fade w Button feature.
Toggle it OFF, or release your left stick before shooting.
