How Do You Get Limitless Range in NBA 2k16?

Whether you’re a sharpshooter or a point guard, mastering the art of long-distance shooting is essential. In NBA 2K16, having a limitless range can be a game-changer.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the strategies, badges, and techniques to help you achieve that coveted limitless range.

Part 1: Understanding the Basics

1. What Is Limitless Range?

• Limitless Range is a badge in NBA 2K16 that enhances your shooting ability beyond the three-point line.
• It allows you to take shots from ridiculously deep distances with a higher chance of success.

2. Attributes and Skills

• Before chasing the limitless range, ensure your player has a solid foundation:
  • Three-Point Shooting (3PT): Max out this attribute to increase your shooting range.
  • Offensive Consistency: Consistent shooting matters, especially when attempting long shots.
  • Badges: Besides limitless range, focus on badges like Catch and Shoot, Deep-Range Deadeye, and Corner Specialist.

3. Shot Timing and Release

• Perfect your shot timing. The release point varies for each player, so practice until it becomes muscle memory.
• Use the shot meter to gauge your timing. Green releases have a higher chance of success.

4. Shot Selection

• Don’t force shots. Take open looks and avoid contested shots.
• Step-backs and pull-ups are effective for creating space.

5. Mastering the Stick

• Use the right stick (R-stick) for shooting. Flick it down and release at the peak of your jump for optimal results.
• Experiment with different angles to find your sweet spot.

6. Practice, Practice, Practice

• Head to the practice court and work on your shooting. Repetition improves muscle memory.
• Simulate game situations: sprint, stop, and shoot.

7. Badges and Attributes

8.2 Heat Maps

  • Red Areas: High shooting percentage.
  • Blue Areas: Low shooting percentage.
  • Adjust your shot selection based on these insights.

9. Game Situations
