How to Change Jump Shot Animation in NBA 2K21

In NBA 2K21, the default jump shot for your MyPLAYER might not suit your playstyle. Luckily, the game provides a variety of options to customize your jump shot, from standard animations to more personalized ones using the Jump Shot Creator. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change your jump shot animation and access the Jump Shot Creator.

1. Access the MyPLAYER Appearance Menu

To begin customizing your jump shot, you need to access the MyPLAYER Appearance tab from the options menu in the Neighborhood. Once you’re there, navigate to the My Animations option, which will take you to a screen filled with various animation settings that you can modify for your MyPLAYER.

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.

Note: If you don’t like the default jump shots available, you can purchase more jump shots from the Animation Store, which is located next to the My Animations tab.

3. Accessing the Jump Shot Creator in NBA 2K21

If you want to get even more detailed with your jump shot, NBA 2K21 gives you the Jump Shot Creator, which allows you to modify aspects such as the base and upper release. The Jump Shot Creator is unlocked from the start of the game, so you can use it right away.

To access the Jump Shot Creator:

• Go to the MyPLAYER Appearance tab.
• Select the Jump Shot Creator option. This will open a new menu where you can tweak the jump shot’s base, upper release, and blending percentages to suit your needs.

You can experiment with different combinations to create the most effective jump shot for your playstyle. Once you’ve finalized your settings, you can save the jump shot and equip it just like any other animation.
