In NBA 2K25 working out the best shot meter settings is vital, and it all starts with being able to turn the feature on or off.

When taking a shot in NBA 2K25, players will have a good idea of how successful it will be based on the shot meter timing. Perfectly timed shots result in a perfect release. You don’t always need to have a perfect release to score, but it creates the highest probability of doing so.

In addition to timing, the shot indicator also considers how open a player is when they pull up for a jump shot. And every pro has a unique shooting form, so the timing varies. Similarly, players all have their own shooting preferences.

So, whether new to the series or a longtime veteran, this is how to turn the shot meter on and off and change its settings.
