Knowing how to do free throws in NBA 2K21 is extremely important. Making your free throws can be the difference between winning or losing a game. So what should you know about free throws in NBA 2K21? Let's see what you need to do.
There are two ways to take a free throw in NBA 2K21. The first method is to use X (Xbox) / Square (PlayStation). Once on the line, press and hold the X / Square key. When you do this you should see a meter (unless the shot meter is off) that includes a larger yellow line and a yellow bar with a light line in the middle. Your goal is to free X / Square as close as possible to the middle of the yellow bar, right next to the light line. If you do, the free throw should be successful.
The second method is to use the Pro Stick, which is the right stick for Xbox and PlayStation users. To perform a free throw with the Pro Stick, move the right stick down, then release it when you're ready to shoot. You will know when to release when the larger yellow line is right in the middle of the yellow bar, just above that light line. If for some reason the yellow line is to the left or right of the bar, move the right joystick to the left or right, respectively. This will move the yellow line to that part of the bar.
Keep in mind that when attempting free throws, a player's attributes will affect the success of the free throw. To illustrate, a player with a poor free-throw attribute will miss more hits on the line than another player who has a higher score in this regard.
