THESE SECRET SHOOTING TIPS WILL TURN YOU INTO AN ELITE SHOOTER ON NBA 2K24

[@darrenpham1330]

I think the problem alot of people have is not being able to distinguish what an open shot is. Watch this dude play and you'll learn that you are actually open way more than you think you are. This guy is able to hit crazy shots because he is shooting the ball as if its a normal wide open shot. Don't get in your own head and shoot the ball with confidence boys.

[@marauder3831]

Couldn’t have said it better myself!!!!

[@darrenpham1330]

i picked up on that shit real quick after watching u bro. You just have to know your jumpshot and it becomes an absolute game changer bro. People to afraid to shoot for no reason and i think its kuz people are hella toxic in this community. @@marauder3831

[@robertwilliams3887]

Don't forget HOF badges and not playing on a slow Flatscreen TV

[@darrenpham1330]

yup maruader should also inform that not every build can do this. My 6'8 shoots 50 while my 6'6 with a 94 three and 98 middy shoots 70. Gotta have the right tools in order to cook. @@robertwilliams3887

[@joshuasweetenburg3891]

Absolutely agree. I used to play 2k a lot at a fairly high level. Haven’t played all year and I do decent but my shooting isn’t as consistent as last year. I often think I’m contested but then check my feedback and I’m open so if i just release it correctly that’s an easy bucket

[@SamuelGarcia-rm9oy]

FINALLY, a 2k content creator who actually dont bullshit around, like these dudes giving fake jumpshots or false information. I thought that having a high timing stability would make me have the same jumpshot animation, 2k did no explain shit but u did brother and im grateful, i wil definitely subscribed, hope to see more content like this brother!!

So it I’m using this jumper on my 6,8 BE ON RELEASE IF I USE THIS JUMPER ON 50/50 blend I only get a Release speed if I change the blend to 88 Sadiq It go a+ release speed what do u think that can help me

[@marauder3831]

The difference between A and A+ release speed is small enough to where going 50/50 is just fine!!! If you feel like the jumper is too slow then maybe try to change it, but in this scenario, it’s probably wiser you just make to where the jumper is comfortable for you!!!

[@BinnOnTwitch]

@@marauder3831 thanks bro thanks to since I been using Tracy McGrady been having problems greening on push felt hella slow and stuff and I switched to ur blend and switched to release I’ve been greening every shot hitting reds consistently and not missing went 13/13 earlier with 43 wit a 80 over all 6’6 hitting reds with a build I just made which is crazy to got use to the Sadiq with the Oscar and wit release I have been good goodlooks bro Fr appreciate u even on my small pg I was using push I switched to release and I haven’t been missing just got get use to it and stop switching my jumpers around kept switching my jumper around a lot but where can I find the build

What's timing stability effect?

[@marauder3831]

5:30

[@ITSHOGGYY]

Do you think a 6’7 w a 90 middy 82 three would be able to hit contest pretty consistently on my lock. I’ve learned on my 92 three build just wondering about the other. Haven’t tried yet

[@Itzz_travis]

Probably somewhat consistently, if you’re able to get the same jumper as your 92 three build, assuming theyre in the same height range, you’re just gonna have a little less room for error

[@ITSHOGGYY]

@@Itzz_travisyea I tried it last night I hit a few yellows. It’s def tougher. But I still shoot above 70 w the jumper. And build. My pg build is just more consistent like you said w the 92 three

[@mauricebyers5725]

What shot can I use for a 85 to 87 3ball pg 6-8.

Another huge factor is contest timing. You can hit a 50% covered when the contest comes late easier than like a 15% where someone is playing off but was contesting at the beginning of your shot imo.

My question is, How do you master your pure green window if every game it changes this season. Its ridiculous. nice video btw tired of going 5/5 one game and missing 2-4 shots the next game to figure out where the damn green window went. My green window is on push one game and feels like early the next

[@marauder3831]

Repetition repetition repetition!!! I’ve also learned that if I play for a couple hours in a row I gradually get worse at shooting, usually because I get lazier with my timing or I get tired!!!

hey great video as well as great shooting as always i have a question id like your honest opinion on did i make a good 6'6 floor spacing slasher pg he has a 80 close shot, 91 driving lay up, 80 mid and 90 3pt as well as a 99 free throw for 100% made FThrow shots an 85 pass and 90 ball handle with an 86 SWB (speed with ball) 90 PD and 70 steal speed n accel are both 90 and stam is 99 sometimes i have a hard time breaking down my defender for the shot and would like to know some tips n tricks to being a better pg this is my first year playing 2k officially

[@marauder3831]

I’d say just having a few moves that get you open and a few counter moves to those moves is all you need. You don’t need to spam combos to get open in this game, especially if you have TMAC base.
