Long-range shooting is in a healthy place for NBA 2K24 as the points here in both multiplayer online matches and MyCareer are staggering. Those who play either of these modes know that it's quite possible to lead every game in quality scoring with a great three-point build.
10 Forgotten Unusual Sports Games
These sports games featured weird and unusual gameplay mechanics, and were soon forgotten after their release.
When designing a character to be able to shoot three-pointers, it's less about the attributes and more about the badges. Only a pure shooter in NBA 2K24 will be able to get a Hall of Fame badge in every one of these badges but even just a bronze or silver medal will allow this to be a meaningful part of any MyPlayer's game.

10 Great Arcade Sports Games That Have Aged Well
Arcade sports games can be a hit-and-miss but a select few have aged incredibly well.
Let it be known that there is no substitute for making the best custom jump shot. Anybody who is shooting for these badges and not getting the results they'd like to see must establish their custom jumper right away for the best results.
Having the best shot animations from anywhere on the court is helping and the badges are the icing on the cake. Keep in mind that this doesn't need to be a goal for every player to get these badges. For example, Space Creator is best for a point guard off of the dribble and Catch & Shoot will be better for a shooting guard receiving a pass.
