Jumpshots are essential for achieving optimal shooting performance in NBA 2K25, regardless of your position. This technique is influenced by the player’s height and their three-point shooting rating. In this guide, I will share tips for executing the best jumpshots, including ideal cues for different player heights.
NBA 2K25: How to Get the Best Jumpshots
Step 1: Utilize Jumpshot Creator
The Jumpshot Creator in NBA 2K25 is a powerful tool that allows you to customize your jumpshots by selecting a base, adjusting release speeds, and setting visual cues. To access the Jumpshot Creator:
- Go to the main menu.
- Select “MyCAREER” mode.
- Navigate to the “Animation” tab.
- Select “Jumpshot Creator.”
- Create and customize your jumpshot.
- Save your custom jumpshot.
If you’re uncertain about the best settings for your custom jumpshots, refer to the tables below to find optimal jumpshot settings based on player height and three-point ratings.
Step 2: Turn Off the Shot Meter
To maximize your jumpshot efficiency, it’s beneficial to turn off the shot meter, which enhances the window for perfect shots. If you are confident in your timing, consider setting your Shot Timing Profile to “High Risk-Reward.” This adjustment can significantly improve your jumpshot accuracy.
