2k25 Best Settings

What Risk-Reward setting should I use in 2k25?

The High Risk reward setting is the one you want to use. Removing as much of the RNG from shooting as possible will make you a better shooter over time.

Which Shot Timing Profile should I use?

2K25 introduced custom shot timing profiles when you create a custom jump shot that will overwrite your choice for this setting.

From fastest to slowest the cues go:

  • Jump
  • Set Point
  • Push
  • Release

We generally recommend putting this setting as close to release as possible but its personal preference and difficult to control in the custom jumper creator.

What Camera Angle Should I use on 2k25?

While camera angle can be somewhat preference, most players play on 2k cam.

How do I turn off my Shot Meter in 2k25?

They moved the meter settings this year to the Customize HUD setting in animations.

How Do I Enable Shot Feedback in 2k25?

Shot feedback can be turned on in the Settings under Features at the main menu. We highly recommend turning shot feedback to All Shots.

What Defensive Assist Strength Setting Should I use in 2k25?

We recommend a lower defensive assist so you have more control over your own player. Anywhere from 0-15 is a good number.

Where do I turn off my matchup arrow in 2k25?

Go to features, settings scroll down until you see a setting called who to guard. Set this to off to turn off the matchup arrow and give you a little more control over your defender. We generally only recommend this if playing with a squad though

NBA 2k25 Shot Meter Settings

After running a shooting test for meter vs no meter it is clear again this year that turning your shooting meter off should be everyone's goal.

How to Change your Shot meter in 2k25?

Click start and go to MyPlayer then Animations. Scroll to the right until you get to Customize HUD. Find the Shot Meter category and here you can chance your meter style under “graphic”. You can also change the size, color, location, and what type of shots your meter will show up on. Keep in mind, if you keep your meter off you will get about a 20% increase to your make percentage.

However, our recommended setting would be to turn this meter off.
