2. Change Your Jump Shot in the My Animations Screen
Once you’re in the My Animations screen, you’ll see a wide range of animation options that you can adjust. This includes dribble moves, dunks, layups, and, of course, jump shots.
To change your jump shot:
- Select the Jump Shot option from the list.
- Here, you’ll see a variety of available jump shots that you can equip. Simply scroll through the list and pick the one you prefer. Once you’ve found the perfect shot, select it, and it will be equipped for your MyPLAYER.
