How to Unlock Jump Shot Creator & Custom Jump Shots in NBA 2K21

Once you’ve started your MyCareer, either play through the tutorial games or skip them. Either way, you’ll be drafted into the NBA immediately and have your opportunity to start forging a new career as a professional.

From the moment your player’s career starts, the Jump Shot Creator is available. It can be found under the MyPlayer Appearance tab in the MyCareer menu.

From here, you can purchase new shots from the ‘Animation Store’ using VC or build custom shots.

Notably, last year the jump shot release timing was changed so that using the Quick Draw badge was the only way to make your jump shot quicker, but that change has been reverted. You’re now able to change the release timing again this year.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

  1. Start a new MyCareer and complete the tutorial either by playing through the games or skipping them.

  2. You’ll then be able to immediately access the Jump Shot Creator.

  3. You can then access this again at any time by heading to the MyPlayer Appearance menu.
