NBA 2K24 Best Jumpshot

While there are many moves you can perform in NBA 2K24, from dunking, to complicated dribbling, the basics are where its at. If you don’t have a solid grasp on them, then you will likely lose. Enter – the jumpshoot. This is one of the primary moves you can perform in the game, and as such – you will need to master it so that you rarely miss. So if you want to make the best jumpshots you can in NBA 2K24, this guide is here to help you do precisely that.

NBA 2K24 Best Settings for Jumpshot

Go into options and from there, into Settings. The first thing you want to set up here is to have your Shot Feedback be set to All Shots. After that, go into Controller Settings and look for the Shot Timing Visual Cue. Set this either to Release or Push. Be sure to test this to see which one you prefer. The Jump Shot Meter should be On. Conversely, set the Free Throw Meter to Off.

The combination of LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Durant gives you a nice balance of consistency and flair. You can adjust the release speed and animation blending to your preference, but I find that these settings work best for me. Here’s how to setup this player:

• Lower/Base – Kevin Durant.
• Upper Release 1 – LaMarcus Aldridge.
• Upper Release 2 – LaMarcus Aldridge.
• Release Speed – Normal.
• Blending – 50%/50%.

NBA 2K24 Best Jumpshot for at Least 6’10”

This jump shot has a release height of B+, a release speed of A-, a timing stability of B+, and a defensive immunity of B. It also has a smooth and natural motion that is easy to time and control.

• Upper Release 2: Oscar Robertson.
