Season 2 of NBA 2K25 is here, and while this year hasn't brought as many new dribble animations or jumpshots as we hoped, there are still crucial updates you need to dominate the court. This guide covers the best jumpshots for every build in NBA 2K25. Whether you're a point guard, wing player, or big man, I’ve got the perfect jump shot to help you shoot better and improve your overall performance.
Best Jumpshots for Each Build
1. Point Guards (6’4” and Under)
- Jumpshot: Cameron Thomas/Oscar Robertson/Kyrie Irving (65/35 blend)
- Release Speed: Max
- Timing Que: Slightly past push
This is one of the fastest and most consistent jump shots available for guards. It’s especially good for fades and quick stop shots. I’ve been using it since Season 1 and have been shooting at nearly 60% from three.
2. Alternate Point Guard
- Jumpshot: Patty Mills/Oscar Robertson/Kyrie Irving
- Release Speed: Max
- Timing Que: Later release
This shot is extremely fast, and many competitive guards prefer it for quick peaks. However, its fade timing is different from Cameron Thomas, so you may need some adjustment.
3. Wings (6’5” to 6’9”)
- Jumpshot: Jaylen Tyson/Charles Bassey/Troy Brown Jr. (65/35 blend)
- Release Speed: Max
- Timing Que: Slightly past push
If you're playing as a wing with a build between 6’5” and 6’9”, this is my go-to recommendation. It offers a smooth release and is perfect for both ISO players and poppers. Whether you're catching and shooting or taking quick dribbles, this shot delivers.
Alternative Jumpshot: Jared Culver/Charles Bassey/Troy Brown Jr.
This option is slightly slower but still a strong contender for players who prefer a more controlled release.
4. Big Men (6’10” and Above)
- Jumpshot: Jonathan Isaac/Charles Bassey/Rashard Lewis
- Release Speed: Max
- Timing Que: Slightly past push
For big men builds, this is the best option. The Jonathan Isaac base gives a smooth and consistent release, while the upper releases help ensure contested shots are less effective against you. If you have a high three-point rating, consider swapping Rashard Lewis with Chris Bosh for an even better shot.
Best Jumpshot Settings and Tips
Before diving into specific jumpshots, here are a few key settings that will maximize your shooting accuracy:
- High Risk/Reward: With the recent patch making shooting easier, it's even more critical to stay on high risk/reward. The green window has been increased, so this setting will give you a higher chance of making your shots.
- Hot Spots: Ensure you have hot spots around the court, especially in areas where you shoot most frequently. This can greatly affect your shooting success. To get your hot spots, visit the Art of Shooting Gym.
- Jump Shot Boosts: Always buy jump shot boosts for each game. These can make a big difference in your shooting performance.
- Controller Settings: Turn off the shot meter for a better green window, and set shot feedback visibility to "Simple" for more precise timing.
Final Thoughts
These are the best jumpshots for NBA 2K25 Season 2, whether you're a point guard, wing, or big man. While there haven’t been many new animations this season, the ones we’ve highlighted here will definitely give you an edge on the court. In order to get better performance in the game, we can buy some NBA 2K25 MT in U4GM, which can help us build a strong player.
