The latest addition to NBA 2K23 allows you to find out how quickly or how slowly the shot meter is displayed, if you have it enabled. There are four possible combinations available in the Controller Settings: Very Early, Early, Late along with Very Late NBA 2K23 MT. While tweaking this setting will not alter the animations of your jump shots, it does affect the speed with which the meter will appear. Personally, we prefer it to be Very Early.

The meter will appear shortly after pressing the button and will give you an additional milliseconds to set the timing of your release, but if you're never getting your shots right, you might prefer very Late or someplace in the middle. The best way to discover what you like is to practice with your favorite players 2KU.

In default, your Defensive Assist Strength will be at 50 on the Controller Settings. This feature attempts to predict how your opponents will move you're defending, however we're not sure it's enough agresiv at times. You can switch off this feature completely if you're confident in your abilities with the sticks, however we'd suggest leaving it on just a bit so that you still have a small amount of magnetism that can assist you in keeping ahead of your adversaries. Take your time with 2KU to find what is most effective for you We personally think at least 25 is the perfect zone.

There's nothing more demoralizing in NBA 2K23 than seeing a open teammate who is unable to stop and then accidentally kicking it to the incorrect player. However, with Controller Settings, you can adjust your Pass Target Profile. This is weighted by three distinct variables: Pass Target Direction, Target Distance, and Pass Target Distance, and Pass Target openness.

There's a profile that weighs the passing of a tick more towards openness in comparison to the default setting and we've found this to be the optimal option, although it is your choice to experiment further and find what does the best job for you. You can also lead your teammate to open space by pressing Circle 2K23 MT Buy, and if you select Full Receiver Control within the Receiver Control option, you'll be able to manually move your teammate while holding this button.
