NBA 2K21: How To Shoot Free Throws And Score?

In the NBA, scoring with consistency may be one of the most important aspects of the game. Creating obvious scoring opportunities is great, but what happens if other teams want to shut you down? If you get a fouled while shooting, you will head to the foul line to shoot two free throws (or once if you can score at the beginning). This guide will explain how to shot free throws and score in NBA 2K21.

If you are fouled during a game and you are already in the motion of shooting, you can make two undisputed shots at the basket from the foul line.

Being able to sink free throws consistently in a game is a huge advantage, not only for the team, but also for your stats. If you're ahead in a game by a few points, nailing those last few free throw shots can be the difference between winning and losing.

On the player statistics screen, you will notice that there is a dedicated stat bar for free throws. Although it is possible to score free throws with any regularity, and even at the right time, you'll miss a lot more than you hit.

If you plan on embarking on the MyPlayer Career then it is essential you put at least a few points into free throws initially. It may not be as flashy as dunking or breaking ankles with a dribble move, but it will win you more games than those two put together.

When on the stat screen, use the left stick to navigate to the free throw column and move it up as much as you like (or as much as your NBA 2K21 VC will allow). It probably goes without saying but a higher free throw statistic will translate into you scoring more points from the free-throw line.

In a game, once you find yourself standing on the free-throw line, it works very similarly to normal shooting. You can either hold the shot button down until the icon enters the orange bar, then release it, or you hold down the right analog stick and aim the line in the middle of the orange bar. As long as you have the right timing, the ball will enter the basket.
