Best Shooting Settings in NBA 2K25 for Shot Meter, Shot Profile, & Visual Cues

[@williamhuggins9459]

I’ve played 4 games so far with my 7 ft stretch, my shot timing is all over the place rn… slightly early and lates with what feels like the same release🤷🏾‍♂️

Same.

Same, I’m on push and still get slightly late

They forgot to mention if your connection is dog water do not play on high risk setting

Wrong. Timing doesn’t even matter if it isn’t on high risk. 2K needs to change that, there should be a middle option that’s actually decent

Nice that the data confirms what I felt. So many shots I felt like I timed correctly but they missed.

[@officialdevelop8341]

Why is shooting this year just mad difficult? Like I have done some testing with a max player with all legend badges and still miss. Shots feel very inconsistent no matter the situation.

You ahh

Nah man I’m with you, it’s all over the place

[@fifty5yt]

It’s only difficult because you don’t have your badges yet

[@robeezylemon3213]

Every shot animation is different depending on the catch and stamina so you gotta watch yo player for his shot cue every time instead of shooting it the same way

[@LilWaniOfficial]

Ya badges ain’t maxed so test g them and playing 2 different things lol

[@iwatchyoutube.2790]

I haven’t played 2k since 21 next gen, but it’s always fun watching creators post best builds, best jump shots, best moves during the early start of the game.

[@sniperpaintcorrection]

Tbh watching them make builds is the worse part . Especially when they say Demi god then come out bricking 😂😂😂

[@monster76100]

What’s the difference between the release point in the jump shot creator and the one in controller settings? What does the game prioritize?

[@Fent-]

Drives me crazy they made something so confusing lol

[@pizzahead2]

If you got a custom jumpshot the release goes off that. If you got an nba player jumper it goes off the settings.

[@pizzahead2]

@monster76100

[@domslaboratory]

the one in controller settings is for regular jumpshots and the one in custom is for customs

[@spillboy]

The custom jumpshot overrides your controller settings.

[@TechManDanN]

Btw if any of you guys having trouble greening or just making any jumpers in general turn your shot meter back on in the animation menu, turn off your visual shot meter in the controller settings for the square button/R stick what ever your preference is.. and finally turn it to low risk low reward lol you’ll be making whites at least 🙌

[@kennyward8962]

So what is the difference between the cue timing in the creator and the cue timing in the main menu settings? Do they stack? Is one weighed over the other? Is one for quick play & other for career?

[@Itsnotvixx]

every other shot i take is a different timing

[@Ty2x-]

that’s how it is now

[@Fent-]

Because you’re mistiming your shot lmfao

[@jakeklawonn797]

Different catches, lower stamina, different animations, different contest. That’s how it is.

[@iDontUploadiJustSub]

In real life do you have the exact same jump shot timing ? It’s simulation basketball we dont need people going 40/40 from 3 in games.

it should be like that

[@Quaylan-gm7gn]

Is there a statistical difference in shooting the normal way or using the new rhythm shooting function add this is it worth learning?

[@tylerbrooks6063]

So, can you not make white shots at all on High-Risk? That's what that graph seemed to suggest.

How’s the latency in this game between different game modes like park, rec, pro-am, etc? Is it as bad as 24s?

[@Skatoony7QC]

Its all the same theres no difference for what i saw

[@zenmasterbuddha]

The park is the most laggy rn due to high volume of people playing in old town. Match making modes typically have the best latency like theater, pro am etc

[@Mouchoo]

it's better than previous years tbh but latency still there

Video idea: On the shot visual cue how many steps more/less do you need to add on different game modes to have the exact same release speed for each mode?

[@MishkaX_]

Y’all deserve 1mil subs by now 💯

[@RenZvers3]

Could you please elaborate on the Difficulty-based shooting profile and its functionality?

[@TrulyTae32]

If you don’t know your shot that well use low or mid. You’ll still be able to make shots, but not at a crazy volume. So don’t expect to Shoot 8/11 at the three if they’re all wide open. High risk is when you have your shot down to a tee, so no more slightly early goin in you gotta time it right. And with that you can have those crazy games and shoot 8/11 at the three

With the 100% green window out of the game i honestly feel like normal risk is the sweet spot you can still green and hit a white here and there.

[@JoaoMXN]

Putting the meter only for the stick int he "Shot meter input type" also gives the boost for the button input type?

Is this only for MyCareer? Or does it work on playnow & myteam too

Hi are the green window graphs on premium taken on high risk?

Video liked. Great video and all but what 3pt did you guys use for testing though lol

[@BigSnax88]

Honestly go to my court practice with the meter and keep the visual in your head when the meter will fill up and keeping that in your head as you shoot without the meter and you’ll make way more shots

[@James-nf7qs]

Problem I'm finding is all the different kind of shots, and stamina makes hitting shots without shot meter visible is tough

[@trayvo5330]

@@James-nf7qswatch your hands and if you pay attention enough u can feel the slight vibration into your timing. I can’t stress it enough WATCH YOUR HANDS! No matter if it’s a fader or regular jump shot your hands are key.

[@BigSnax88]

@@James-nf7qs right try to practice with it for a certain amount of time with it on then practice with it off to to keep up with that muscle memory of shooting. It sucks for now but overall itll get better with time. Plus they want real NBA percentage so if you’re hitting 45% from 3 that’s max contract NBA numbers so you’re doing amazing at that point

[@BrenturoX]

I dislike the new system so I forcefully switched to no meter and I actually like it, good to know there is a 20% buff to it aswell

[@EccentricMeat]

I guess I don't understand your chart. I play on Low Risk-Reward as I only play offline and don't want timing to be the be-all end-all decider for shot success, and even on HOF difficulty with default sliders I have never missed a green timed shot. I also do not make anywhere near 30-40% of shots that are noticeably early/late like your chart would suggest. Where did you get the shot % information for these timing profiles? Because the chart seems to be saying you can still miss 50% of green timed shots on the Low Risk-Reward profile, and I'm just not seeing that.

[@TideV2]

Yeah I'm confused by the make% as well. Ive never missed a green on medium risk. Ive only played about 10 games on medium risk and currently feel like the bigger green window on high risk is better than making 20% of the whites on medium.

[@yuutasai5626]

​@@TideV2that's the thing sometimes it will say "slightly early or late" because it fell outside of the guaranteed make percent so even tho you did green it it won't go in regardless

Does changing shot meter input type to pro stick still give the boost of no meter on shots using square if the meter is still on?

[@Zekkou]

Will the visual Que mess with shot timing ? I seen videos that say yes n others that say no

[@TantrumKnows]

[@jaquan6200]

What if your visual cue is in the middle of push and release, which would you set the visual cue option in settings to?

[@Elcaballote5]

Difficulty based ? I’m a little confused about it

[@Ethanjdanh]

I miss being able to turn the meter on and seeing how slow or fast the meter is so I could hit the shot then turning the meter off when I master it. Shooting was honestly hard enough last year for a lot of people I’m not sure why they made it even more difficult

[@bballweekly2087]

Shooting wasn't hard at all bro what you talking about. 2k24 was one of the easiest games to shoot in

[@ngelwings]

because of the online play, they make it like that so everyone won’t shoot crazy percentages

[@richardrummel2073]

does the layup get the boost from no meter?

What’s the form your shooting with at the end of vid

[@Echodyne90]

If you keep the shot meter on in the HUD menu but set shot meter visual only for right stick shots in the settings menu will you still get the no shot meter bonus on your shot-button shots?

[@frederikbrandt424]

That risk-reward timing is so stupid. There’s literally never a reason for going medium and low risk is pretty much just real player percentage. You don’t really have a choice but to go high risk. They should seriously up medium risk because currently it makes no sense.

[@The0nlyy]

Good point, there’s zero reason to go medium risk if the graph is accurate. Medium has a +2 ms advantage for a perfect release but low has higher percentage across 130ms timespan!
