How To Get Hot Zones in NBA 2K21 Next Gen

How To Get Hot Zones in NBA 2K21 Next Gen is a tutorial blog post that shows you the steps necessary to get hot zones in the game.

Introduction

In NBA 2K21 Next Gen, one of the most important things for players to do is to get their players hot. When a player is hot, they will enter a hot zone and will be almost guaranteed to make any shot they take. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get your players hot in NBA 2K21 Next Gen.

The first thing you need to do is make sure that you are using your player in the right way. If you are using a shooting guard, you should be mostly shooting threes and driving to the basket. If you are using a point guard, you should be mostly passing the ball and shooting threes. If you are using a center, you should be mostly posting up and shooting threes. What all of these have in common is that they are all high-percentage shot types. You want to be taking as many high-percentage shots as possible so that you can enter a hot zone more easily.

Another important thing to do is to make sure that you are getting your teammates involved. When your teammates are involved in the game and touching the ball, they are more likely to get hot themselves. This will also help you get hot zones more easily because your teammates will often times pass you the ball when you are in a hot zone.

Lastly, try to avoid taking bad shots. If you take too many bad shots, your player will cool down and it will become harder for them to enter a hot zone. Only take shots that you know you can make and avoid contested shots whenever possible.

Following these tips should help you get hot zones more easily in NBA 2K21 Next Gen.

What are Hot Zones?

Hot Zones are zones on the court where players have increased shooting percentage. Obviously, the goal is to get as many of your shots as possible to be within your players’ Hot Zones. In order to see where a player’s Hot Zones are, you need to go into MyPlayer and look at their Shooting Badge Test results.

The Shooting Badge Test will show you how well your player shoots from different areas on the court. It is important to note that the results of the Shooting Badge Test are NOT permanent. They can change based on how well you are playing with that player, what type of release you use, and other factors.

One thing to keep in mind is that each player has different Hot Zones. For example, a shooting guard might have a Hot Zone around the three-point line, while a post player might have a Hot Zone in the paint. Therefore, it is important to tailor your shot selection to your individual players.

In general, there are four ways to get your shots within your players’ Hot Zones: catch-and-shoot threes, off-the-dribble threes, layups/dunks, and post-ups.

Catch-and-shoot threes are probably the easiest way to get shots within your players’ Hot Zones. Most players have their best shooting percentage when they catch the ball and shoot it without dribbling first. If you can find ways to get open for catch-and-shoot threes, you’ll be able to increase your shooting percentage significantly.

Off-the-dribble threes are more difficult than catch-and-shoot threes, but they can be just as effective if done correctly. In order to make an off-the-dribble three work, you need two things: space and time. You need enough space to pull up for a clean jumper, and you need enough time so that you’re not contested when you release the ball. If you can find this sweet spot, off-the-dribble threes can be extremely effective.
Dunks and layups are also great ways to get shots within your players’ Hot Zones because they’re such high percentage shots. If you can get close enough to the basket for a dunk or layup, it’s almost impossible for the defense to stop you from scoring. Posting up is another great way to score inside because it gives you an opportunity to get closer to the basket before taking your shot.

Hot Zones are an important part of NBA 2K21 Next Gen because they allow you to increase your shooting percentage significantly. If you can find ways to get your shots within your players’ Hot Zones, you’ll be well on your way towards becoming an elite shooter in NBA 2K21 Next Gen!
