NBA 2K24 has specific controller settings that require you to select Shot Timing. Shots and Layups are the recommended options (not Jump Shots) for improved gameplay. Having layup timing enabled is recommended in this year's game since it provides a considerable advantage by increasing your chances of finishing layups.

This year's NBA 2K24 introduces an innovative feature called Shot Timing Visual Cue, and you can now decide when to release your shot during a jump shot. This doesn't influence the speed of the jump shot, which remains unchanged. It's mostly based on personal preference, but Push is the suggested option.
