Hot zones/Lethal zones are easily the most important aspect of shooting this year. According to 2KLabs you get a significant boost to shooting as soon as you have your hot zones, moreso than before when Hot Zone Hunter was a badge. To put this into perspective, I have 2 builds with 72 Middy, one with Post Control and one without. The one WITHOUT Post Control is more consistent at post fades despite not getting Post Fade Phenom and Dream Shake at all simply because it was my 1st build and actually has hot zones. You're at a severe disadvantage if you're shooting a lot of shots in zones that aren't hot/lethal.
The best tip i can give is shoot everything you feel its open From my personal experience contested shoots are those that you pull up while dribbling mostly with you shooting hand The idea is to stop with an animation and pop or shoot when the ball is in your non-shooting hand
Also, what I noticed is that even red contested have layers. Many times you'd get a 50/60% contested that on paper shouldn't go in because "It is contested", but what people dont realize is that your body and your hands were there only at last tip of the release. So many of these reds contests don't even change your jumpshot animation because **their bodies are not making contact with you in the process of shooting**. A 60% contest when your opponent's body is on you will be almost impossible to make. A 60% contest when the opponent flicks his hands only in the end and makes your player fall behind after the release... **is not a real 60% contest**. SHOOT THAT BALL I am definitely having to get adjusted with using Push on TMac. I feel like its not exactly the best for the TMac animations. But I also have hit many contesteds as of a week of playing on a 92 three pointer build
I couldn't make a shot in the rec because I didn't have hot zones with 92 three ball. I was confused because I was going 8/9 from three with 78 three ball. You'll think 92 three is way easier. Jumpshot works but be weary of them because once your boost go off 2k will make you miss no matter what plus the timing is completely different without boost for some reason. Also a question is why cant I hit fading threes with 96 three ball but someone else can.
Is anyone going to talk about how defensive pressure affects shot timing, which they said they TOOK OUT? I often see shooters who are already 6/6 for three, miss when someone is closer to then when they shoot than usual and their coverage changes from wide open to open. I already noticed it but once i started seeing it happen to others, it confirmed it. Are yall gonna let 2k do this?
@@AR-2_E-Zlow pass acc means slow passing speed and weird catching animation which blows up the wide open opportunity don’t you know? Btw I’m sparkling 60% from 3 so I made my shot but I hate playing w player with low pass accuracy
You just got a sub. I have a 72 and I was wondering why I was able to shoot as good as the build I have with 92 three 3 ball and that build is a 95 now I know why. Thanks bro. Also I have Hall of Fame badges on the 99 3ball build that's a 72 overall
Have you ever tried Ray Allen’s base? What’s your take on that? I been comfortable with JT Thor all year. But, for all my Starter 3s & up. Allen/Oscar/Troy Brown That’s what imma try right now. Give me feedback. Edit: BTW, new subscriber!
You deserve way more subs bro you are undoubtedly one of the best 2k Yters rn. Keep up the good work
FACTS💯SO MANY PEOPLE PLAY SCARED AF 2 SHOOT ON THIS GAME🤦🏾♂️💔💔
Yessir!!!! Gotta let that mf fly!!
@Marauder You show us your 6'6 jumpshot. What is your small guards jumper

Speaking nothing but facts!!!! Need those hot/lethal zones bad!!!

I couldn’t agree more!!!
Watched pretty most all your videos and everyone of them is so informational great work. Didnt know about that offensive consistency thing
What’s your offensive consistency with this build ?
How do you feel about Guard Up

Yessir, there are definitely different kinds of contested shots. A lot of those late contests are the ones that are very much greenable!!!
back 2 back banger vids rauder🎯
Appreciate the love J!!! You’re my guy!!
Momentum is like a real thing in the game, or so
Thing you just feel lol
Great video
Watching you has made me SIGNIFICANTLY better thank you
I’m glad you’re getting better from the vids!!! Keep shooting my man!!
I play on Xcloud so my timing depends on the laatency of the server, its not consistent
Is it the same thing with defensive consistency?
where do you go to practice your jumshot
How often you watching your stamina on your shots? Or do you?
I rarely dribble for more than 5 seconds so it usually has no impact on my shot!!!
@@marauder3831 good point
U not lying about shooting with confidence people don’t realize badges and zones is everything an HAND DOWN MAN DOWN is a Real thing

Also a question is why cant I hit fading threes with 96 three ball but someone else can.
The timing window for fading 3s is really small, I don’t shoot those unless I have badge!
How do you make a 98 three guard with 89 pass?
What is the best thing to sacrifice?
Hey marauder, do you focus on your jumpshot cue during your shots? Or just release off of a “feel”?
Definitely “feel”. Been using this jumpshot for months now so I’ve mentally picked up on all the animations
Can you help with shooting on a 6'3 pg build. Everything is contested for me. I'm use to playing a 6'6 SG and I mainly play the middy game.
Are you watching your player and Que shooting or are you just pressing the button “rhythm shooting”
I shoot from mostly muscle memory and feel, but I’m also watching my player if I get a weird animation!!! Definitely a combination of the two!!
Hey brother my zones are usually gone the following week even if I don’t play on that build
What’s the jump shot?
So you are saying if you are aye 95,96,97 you have a better chance or making more of your shots then a 99 did I hear that right or am I trippin
No, that’s not what I meant. Could you point me out with a time stamp when I said that? My bad if I confused you
@@marauder3831 3:50 is where you started talking about it “offensive consistency”
Marauder gang🤞🏽
Yessir!!! Appreciate the love 💙💙
What’s good bro? Keep going 🆙 my guy 💯
Florida my guy!!!! Appreciate the constant love my man!!! Gotta get some runs in next stream!!
@@marauder3831 most definitely 💯

The best tip I can give is don’t play with anyone that has under a 77 pass accuracy
Cap I average like 5 assists with 30 pass accuracy
Make ur shots blaming the passer is crazy
@ceegotmotionnn 😂😂 no bs but it more than 5 tho I’m just saying I can work with low pass aco
@@AR-2_E-Zlow pass acc means slow passing speed and weird catching animation which blows up the wide open opportunity don’t you know? Btw I’m sparkling 60% from 3 so I made my shot but I hate playing w player with low pass accuracy
Cap 😂
No hesitation shooting gives you the chance to make anything imo

You the man much love 💪🏻
Fades!!!! Appreciate the love my guy, means the world my man!!
Can you still shoot like this on AI??? Your content is fire! Already changed my jumpshot & timing!!
This dude really does shoot these shots. Lol I had to guard him, I was the first clip. Lol 😂 feel unreal to guard him.
😂😂😂, don’t feel bad my guy!! Happens to everyone!!! Appreciate you showing love my man!!
Have you ever tried Ray Allen’s base? What’s your take on that?
I been comfortable with JT Thor all year.
But, for all my Starter 3s & up.
Allen/Oscar/Troy Brown
That’s what imma try right now. Give me feedback.
Edit: BTW, new subscriber!
ray base is decent but not better than other bases
@@lorenzoburton2424 Don’t recommend it. I had the worst experience trying it out.
Went back to my normal jumpshot & shot 5/6 from 3.
w vid gango!!!
Iceyy!!! Appreciate the love on the streams and the vids!!!

build video?
I made a video on it called the best build in 2k, maybe about a month ago!!
The Icon is back 🔥🔥🔥
Having silver shooting badges and at 6’3 gets me contested more
The jumper?
Marauder is blowing up really quick it’s crazy
I think the offensive consistency thing was debunked earlier this year, but great advice regardless!
I didn’t know that!!! Thanks for letting me know if that’s true!!! And yeah, glad you enjoyed the video!!
I have the skill to consistently fade from 3 without takeover (92 3 pt )
Always get accused for a zen 😢
I shot over 67% from 3 and am still scared to shoot three
I hit 68 percent then 52 in the same game with 86 3 ball got blamed for zen 😢
Og Maurader minions stand up🫡
Only the real ones know about the marauders minions!!!
“it takes 30 seconds” nah it takes an entire week to get the practice to even get the hot zones
I watched this video and I when I went into the rec o scored 66 points
This is Majik u remember me ?
W vid
