1) Day-One Builds (attribute targets & badges)
Targets are safe “openers” that survive early patches. If caps/badges shift, pick the closest tier.
A) Point Guard – 6’3 Play Shot (speed + spacing)
Targets
- 3PT 90 · Mid 80 · FT 78
- Ball Handle 92 · Pass Acc 85
- Perimeter 80 · Steal 78 · Speed 92 · Accel 91 · Vert 85
Badges - Shooting: Limitless Range, Agent 3, Deadeye/Blinders, Green Machine
- Playmaking: Handles for Days, Quick First Step, Dimer
- Defense: Clamps, Pick Dodger
Why it works: Fast handle + high 3PT to punish switches and run PnR with pull-ups.
B) Two-Way Wing – 6’7 3&D Slasher (switchable)
Targets
- 3PT 86–88 · Mid 78
- Ball Handle 86 · Pass Acc 80
- Perimeter 86 · Contest/Block 70+ · Speed 88 · Vert 82
Badges - Shooting: Catch & Shoot, Claymore, Corner Specialist, Deadeye
- Playmaking: Quick First Step, Bail Out
- Defense: Clamps, Challenger, Interceptor
Why it works: Guards stars, spaces corners/wings, and finishes on closeouts.
C) Pop Big – 7’0 Stretch/Screen Setter
Targets
- 3PT 82–85 (pick-and-pop viable) · Close/Stand Dunk 75+
- Rebound 85+ · Block 88+ (Anchor tier)
- Strength 80+ · Vert 75 · Speed 70+
Badges - Shooting: Pick & Popper, Catch & Shoot, Green Machine
- Defense/Reb: Anchor, Rebound Chaser, Boxout Beast, Brick Wall
Why it works: Screens into pick-and-pop; anchors rim without being a statue.
2) Jump-Shot Templates by Height
Start with Release Speed: 100%. If you’re consistently late, drop one tick.
Shot Timing Visual Cue: Set Point → try Push if you’re late.
≤ 6’4 (Guards)
- Meta Fast: Base Stephen Curry / Damian Lillard · Uppers Oscar Robertson + Klay Thompson · Blend 70/30
- Smooth Forgiving: Base LaMelo Ball · Uppers Devin Booker + Kevin Durant · Blend 60/40
6’5 – 6’9 (Wings)
- Two-Way: Base Kobe Bryant / T-Mac · Uppers Paul George + Klay Thompson · Blend 65/35
- Catch-and-Shoot: Base Michael Jordan · Uppers Ray Allen + Klay Thompson · Blend 50/50
≥ 6’10 (Bigs)
- Pop Big: Base Brook Lopez · Uppers Dirk Nowitzki + Larry Bird · Blend 60/40
- Quick Big: Base Kristaps Porziņģis · Uppers Al Horford + Kevin Love · Blend 55/45
If a base is locked by 2K26 height/rating gates, choose the alternative listed on the same line.
3) Low-Lag Controller & Display Settings
- Controller: Vibration Off · Adaptive Triggers Off · Pro Stick Absolute
- Shot Timing: Shots only (or Shots & Layups if you want one cue)
- Deadzone: 5–7% (too high = delayed input)
- Camera: 2K / 2K Low · Zoom 1–3 · Height 4–7 (see hands & rim at release)
- Display/PC: Fullscreen, V-Sync Off, lock FPS to stable 60/120; close overlays; prefer wired controller.
4) 10-Minute Routine (daily)
- Corner C&S ×20 – lock a consistent cue.
- PnR pull-ups ×20 – two dribbles → stop → shoot.
- Free throws ×15 – rhythm reinforcement.
- Log the cue (“ball reaches forehead”) and keep one camera + one cue for a week.
