Best Custom Jumpshots in NBA 2K25

With NBA 2K25 here, players are busy creating their MyPLAYER build, selecting their shoot meter settings, and looking for a great jumpshot.

Jumpshoots are incredibly important in NBA 2K. It doesn't matter if a player is using a point guard or a small forward build, players need to be able to put the ball in the basket in a consistent way, as that's the only way to win games in MyCAREER or The City.

So let's find out which are the best custom jumpshots in NBA 2K25

Best Custom Jumpshots in NBA 2K25

As mentioned above, finding a good jumpshot is very important in NBA 2K25, but at the same time, it's not an easy task to do so. This is made even harder since there are many builds in NBA 2K25, and jumpshots excel in particular builds.

For example, a jumpshot that is great for a 6'2'' point guard will most likely be awful for a 7'0'' center or power forward. Jumpshots also have requirements, with height being one of them, so players with a certain height might not be able to equip certain jumpshots.

Furthermore, attribute ratings are also part of those requirements, so players might find a great jump shoot, but not have the required mid-range or three-point attribute to equip it.

These are all things players need to take into account when creating or replicating a jumpshot in NBA 2K25.

Without further ado, let's take a look at the best jumpshots in NBA 2K25 by build height.

Best Jumpshot for 6'0'' and 6'4'' Builds

These heights are normally used for point guards and shooting guard builds, as when players build these types of characters they want them to be fast, and have great ball handling.

Since these characters aren't the tallest, their jumpshot must have an incredibly fast release speed and high release height. This way, the shoot leaves the player's hands quickly and at a good height, which makes it harder for players to contest or block.

Here is how players can recreate this jumpshot:

Best Jumpshot for 6'5-6'9 Builds

This specific jumpshot is great for small forwards, power forwards, and centers, but can also be used in taller point guards. It's a very fast jumpshot, with a great release height, and defensive immunity.

Opponents will have a hard time stopping or even bothering shots, and players will have a great time hitting greens.

Here is how players can recreate this jumpshot:

Best Jumpshot for 6'10 or higher Builds

These are arguably the hardest builds to find a good jumpshot for, especially since 6'10 players normally aren't the best shooters.

Unfortunately, creating a character like Victor Wembanyama in MyPLAYER isn't possible, and for good reason, as it would dominate The City, and everyone would be using the same archetype.

However, with this jumpshot, players will be able to shoot like Wembanyama, or at least as close as possible to it.

Here is the jumpshot that will make big man an offensive threat in NBA 2K25:

These are the best custom jumpshots in NBA 2K25, but as always, players are encouraged to make adjustments, as that's the only way to find the perfect jumpshot.

Trying out different jumpshots is advised, as it will make players better understand what they do or don't like in a jumpshot.
