Long-distance shooting in NBA 2K24 is thriving, with remarkable points scored in both multiplayer matches and MyCareer. Players familiar with these game modes understand that a well-built three-point shooter can dominate every match in terms of quality scoring.
When creating a character specialized in shooting three-pointers, emphasis should be placed on badges rather than attributes. While only a pure shooter in NBA 2K24 can achieve a Hall of Fame badge for each of these badges, even a bronze or silver medal will elevate this skill to a significant aspect of any MyPlayer's game.

It is essential to understand that there is no alternative to refining and perfecting a personalized jump shot. Those aiming to attain desired results from shooting for badges must promptly create their own custom jumper to achieve optimal outcomes.
Having exceptional shot animations from any position on the court is incredibly beneficial, and the badges serve as an added bonus. However, it is important to note that acquiring these badges is not a necessity for every player. To illustrate, the Space Creator badge is particularly useful for point guards when performing dribble moves, whereas the Catch & Shoot badge is more advantageous for shooting guards when receiving passes.
NBA 2K24 can be enjoyed on multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
