I find it funny that you said to practice your jump shot. I got shit from someone I played with the other day for saying I practice before I hit the rec. He laughed and said “why in the hell are you practicing in 2k for?” I told him to understand all different types of animations. I try to practice my middy fade each time I get on the game. I try to hit 15 straight shots with the fade. And I do all different types of fades, I think it’s the best part of my game. I’m glad I’m the only one that does this. Great video YD

[@The_Straight_Goods]

When I log in for the first time of the day ima hit my court to get some warm ups in

[@youngdirkk]

Tell that dude to go **** himself. He’s gonna regret those words when you’re a 20x better shooter than him…. But yes bro, I still practice everyday, it’s important.

[@Buccsreallyraw]

Nah those middy fades/dribble pull ups on pro2/kobe dribble pull up are cracked. I score like 16+ pts per game off those alone and they get my green machine activated so I shoot 3s

[@AGame475]

Maybe instead of practicing in 2K, I should practice irl.

[@billymccarthy2578]

this is the first time I ever felt compelled to comment on KZbin. I had to say thank you. I was 5 minutes from returning the game because I literally could not hit a single jumper. I did everything you said to do and it worked like a charm. Im a casual player having a blast because of your tips. THANK YOU!!!!

[@youngdirkk]

lets gooooo

[@gcashflo]

Yeah I’ve been going every week to art of shooting with a set up shot timing and I’m 98 overall and I’m still cold

[@AD4M_OG]

Yo I turned off the shot meter and it helped me out sooo much 🔥🔥

[@youngdirkk]

love to hear it bro, glad I helped

[@percmuncher3126]

The 7/7 one game and 0/10 the next is the story of my life on this game. I went 11/14 in the rec with a 79 3 rating then next game 2/8

[@youngdirkk]

It be like that sometimes

[@AverageMan7]

@@youngdirkkshouldn’t be like that tbh, takes the fun out from fear of being able to perform

[@TheRealishPowers]

@@AverageMan7you just gotta have confidence. Had a game the other day went 0-4 on open 3s in rec then hit 3 of them in the 3rd corner and won the game. Confidence does everything for you

[@Joeharlow12]

I shoot corner shots the most but keep my lethals on the wings. Still shooting great and if you leave me it's green anywhere.

[@youngdirkk]

Love to hear it 💯

[@KingHORNAL]

@youngdurk from ur last vid terrence mann base was ur base for ur 6’6. So what im getting at is, if tmac is better (if so in what way? more consistent? faster release?) Thanks again bro!!!

[@youngdirkk]

First off, thanks for paying attention to all my videos, second, Tracy Mcgrady as a slightly bigger green window and a super high jump/release which makes it a lot easier to shoot over people. Most of the top shooters have switched to Tracy base.

[@vuivuivd]

Tmac allows u to hit more contested shots as well

[@Six8Fivee]

I feel like I have to make a new jumpshot every time they update. It always feels funky every time they update

[@cchisolm92cc]

Man, what?!? The other day, I went 15/16 from three, and then last night, I could barely hit 4 in a row. Idk what's going on with this game anymore. ​@chrisrussell6915

[@viet_avgeek]

​@@cchisolm92ccthat happened to me before yesterday I was averaging like 30 points every game but know it feels so bad

[@VEXIFYJIMMY1]

where should i practice shooting

[@nappyninja1986]

I’m still using the first build

[@chasecanino4973]

Same

[@alansardon8040]

Jump works for me bc I made a slightly slower jumpshot on my new build. Works amazing

[@youngdirkk]

Whatever works my man 💯

[@Bookoosportz]

I took my meter off and I’m greening all day shots Tysm

[@youngdirkk]

Love to hear it

[@masterhulk1495]

Yo bro what should I do if I used to score almost every three I shot with 92 rating in threes, and now randomly each time I shoot it’s like delayed and randomly says very early or always early or slightly early? Someone literally said, “they are gonna build 2k25 with all your bricks”💀

[@sxnerityy]

So I’m a small guard and I use John Stockton Oscar Robertson Oscar Robertson jump shot and it’s very fast in rec but after 2 weeks it got slower I can’t fix it. I’ve seen other players use it and they’re fast but mines is slow

[@G5Dagr8t]

Thank you my jumpshot is wayyyyy better

[@gfromthree]

Why does every jumper feel slow

[@youngdirkk]

I have no idea bro

[@vuivuivd]

Was shooting OK Young Goaty Goat (55% and above)... Thanks for the tips/hints... Let's go for the Veteran... Goat fan out... Bahhhhhh

[@youngdirkk]

💯💯💯💯💯 appreciate you always commenting and showing love , don’t think it goes unnoticed

[@grabokox]

old gen its still 20% without meter? no 3% or 7%?

[@youngdirkk]

Im going off of 2klabs, they only did next gen, I would assume its same for old gen but I dont know

[@BinnOnTwitch]

Do u shoot around in the Gatorade facility ?

[@youngdirkk]

Yes

[@sstanford1331]

Both oscar robinson and trey brown jr give me a headache on account of my eyes but also it just looks so weird for me. So for all my ppl who are like me luka for release gives a huge speed up for the shot so And max christie gives a very smooth 1 motion type of shot (1 motion like curry theres no stop)

[@Drifterboy910]

What timing do u use

[@youngdirkk]

I use push on my big guard and release on my little guard

[@927tloww]

What’s the base to the 6’6

[@hshoonq-e7i]

I have 98 three ball w lethal zones in the corners but get very late and very early releases even though i release when the ball is at the top of my head i am convinced my controller is broken

[@youngdirkk]

Shot is a little quicker in the corners, just keep practicing my man you’ll get there .

[@hshoonq-e7i]

@@youngdirkk I already switched to a center and I am pro level after like 3 days never playing guard again.

[@marquionyt]

Why do I not see the best guard animations in jump shot creator when I have a 99 3ball and under 6’5

[@youngdirkk]

Need to be s3, use curry instead

[@marquionyt]

@@youngdirkk yea I know but I don’t see curry in my shooting base animations and I looked so many times

[@youngdirkk]

try lowry

[@t_sneakeycheaks7374]

How do you get the thing under your character saying if your open or not

[@youngdirkk]

Go in settings and put shot feedback to all shots

[@amedeodicaccamo5029]

With 86 out of 3 how can I build it tmac ? Thanks bro ❤️

[@youngdirkk]

You need an 87 for tmac I believe

[@anonymoushyphen]

What’s your camera settings?

[@youngdirkk]

2k default

[@breezybryce219]

How can you upgrade your hot zones on current gen

[@youngdirkk]

I think just career I’m not sure bro

[@Marcus-XXL]

I use release and I use to shoot 85% from the field and three using post fades, spot up, catch n shoot, off dribble shots, step backs, spin backs, you name it I did it. Now all of a sudden my jump shots aren’t hitting and then some games I start off shooting well but then all of sudden I can’t hit anything even with takeover activated. I use the same jump shot on all my builds and I shoot around the same percentage whether I had a 72 middy a 82 middy or a 70 3pt or a 90+ 3pt. I know my jumpshot well but even wen Ik I’m timing it right it says late or early or slighly something. I use wired internet with 1tb internet speed and I plug in my controller I don’t use meter I have motion blur turned all the way down I have all red hotspots and some lethal spots so what is the problem with mine?

[@youngdirkk]

Depends when you were shooting 85% from the field. That seems like patch 1, the absolute best shooters in the world right now are shooting 70-75% from the field and 60-70% from three. If you are close to that then its just normal and you are a very good player.

[@armani6194]

I green like crazy in the court but in the rec and theater and can’t get the timing on open shots, I feel like the timing aint the same

I can’t never find T Mac base Dirk what’s another one??

[@youngdirkk]

Your middy or 3 needs to be 87 or you are too tall. Use any of these bases, Mann, Shepard, Thor

[@barnuwekpl6093]

Did someone have a jumpshot for a 81 3pt 6'4 in old gen?

[@samuelpriolojr8361]

My biggest issue is like you said I keep switching from setpoint to push back-and-forth because I feel like some games. I’m doing better on one than the other. I just need to pick one and stick with it like you said, lol

[@youngdirkk]

keep one

[@Solodolo1600]

How the hell this dude don’t know u don’t get the 20% no more with meter off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣dork 💀🤓

The releases determine where your hands go

[@nate6s]

It feels like my TMAC / korver / Troy brown shot got patched idk why dude I been using it for a while

[@devonhoward4358]

Bro its because the game has adaptive difficulty engines in different game mode it will purposefully make your team go hard cold or you go cold then cause your opposing team to go strait fire and cook you its literally all just like cod shits bs if you playing anything outside of rec and I even bet they fuck with your rec shit

[@fedjybacourt1102]

I don’t due visual cue because I be getting them random lag so muscle memory always work for me where I know how long I need hold the button specially my fadeaway look different depends on the spot I shoot

[@youngdirkk]

Whatever works works bro 💯

[@swishersweets7095]

I use shot visual cue cuz if I use meter it lags but with shot visual cue I just release at the same time every time
