Optimizing your jump shot is arguably the most important thing you should do when creating a MyPlayer build in NBA 2K23<\/em>. Having so many jump shot options to choose from is a problem you want to have, but it also makes picking the best jump shot that much more difficult.<\/p>
That\u2019s where we step in. We played around with all sorts of combinations before coming up with the best jump shots in NBA 2K23<\/em> at every height.<\/p>
2K Games has done away with generic numbered jumpers from years past. Now we have dozens of real-life players\u2019 jump shots to pick from instead. Which ones are the best? That depends on your MyPlayer\u2019s height.<\/p>
Jumpshot options are spread into three different categories: for players under 6 feet 5 inches tall, for players who land anywhere between 6 feet 5 inches tall and 6 feet 10 inches tall, and for players 6 feet 10 inches tall or higher. Options are limited to certain heights, so you can\u2019t attach a Steph Curry release to your 7 foot 2 inch center.<\/p>
The other important detail about NBA 2K23<\/em> jump shots you should know is the actual stats behind them and how they work. Your jumper has four main components that affect how it plays in-game:<\/p>
- Release height (the height at which the player releases the shot)<\/li>
- Release speed (how fast the player releases the shot)<\/li>
- Defensive immunity (how much the player\u2019s shot accuracy is affected by defense)<\/li>
- Timing impact (how much your timing of the release affects accuracy)<\/li><\/ul>
You may find some of these criteria to be more important than others based on your playstyle, but you can pretty much max out all of them within a single setup, so no sacrifices are necessary.<\/p>
