At a tight NBA 2K19 match in which both teams manage to score a hoop in each ball possession, effective three-point shots can sometimes decide the victor. Somewhat realistically depicted in the sport, landing threes is tough, but is definitely worth the effort when winning.
Firstly, your player has to be situated outside of the three-point line. If your player's feet are under the line, it will only count as two points. You can also make three point shots from half an eye away, although the odds are slim for landing shots in that area.
Timing is a must in making three-point shots. Basically, try to take uncontested three point shots and try to receive a good or perfect shot release. Contested shots reduce your odds, and you may even get blocked.
To make openings for your teammates, strategically create decent ball passes and move towards the basket, which will gradually force defenders to leave their post, thus opening your teammate for a three-point shot.
Meanwhile, your shooter release timing hugely affects your accuracy, so be sure to NBA 2K19 News the shot meter with your player and discharge the shooter at the summit of this meter. Obtaining a perfect shot release will produce the meter turn green, which means you'll make a guaranteed basket. If you are having trouble viewing the shot meter, then you can change the meter's fill colour by going to settings from the options menu.
