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:

  1. Go to the main menu.
  2. Select “MyCAREER” mode.
  3. Navigate to the “Animation” tab.
  4. Select “Jumpshot Creator.”
  5. Create and customize your jumpshot.

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.
