Thats facts I had a build last year based off Cruz's triple threat videos and I averaged close to 30 with that build all year last year.

Thank you bro!!

ho boy this build is so fun . I changed it a little bit to have more dunk but still working . Every play is fun .

I really like your playstyle and utilization of proplay I cant stand the cheese dribblers I also like this build but I really would like to see how you would make more of a carmelo style build and a video where you take us through a full game using that build and taking advantage of the triple threat more which is my preferred playstyle.

Has rhythem shooting gotten worse since patch? Aside from the removal of the delay .

[@laszlokiss483]

I heard its actually gotten more responsive than it was before the patch if you're now having problems the best thing to do is just go back in the lab and adjust to the way it is now after the patch alot of people have changed their shot risk reward settings as well to help with the changes to rhythm shooting.

What jumpshot do u use on this build?

[@KevinCruz016]

[@KaponeONS]

Hey Kevin, do you have passive dribble hand switching on or off? I have used both on and off, is the passive switching really a detriment?

[@KevinCruz016]

I turned it off, its great for left stick dribbling but I want more control over my RS dribbling for when I’m in the Rec. But for NBA games in PNO and offline I like to turn it on for certain players

[@sunnah_salih1696]

TEACH US PLZZZZ WHAT DO U LOOK FOR WHEN U SHOOT???

[@TuChet5]

I'll be honest I'm shooting 53 percent from 3 and most likely similar from middy both on high volume I really just shoot and release when it feels good now that I think of it I dont even really look at my players hands or anything you just need a good jumper that you can time

[@orlandocanady9625]

When it comes to your previous build video you never showed which version of the build you went with. Was curious in what the final build looks like.

[@KevinCruz016]

Went with a version that kept steal to bronze, and put the extra points to raise the middy to 87 or 88 i think! Then used the level 40 cap breaker to bring 3 ball up to a 95 I think and then just used plus ones accordingly!

[@orlandocanady9625]

Same build in the build video. I just went with 88 middy but kept the defense good. Steal at 67 or 69 i think - enough to get the bronze badges. Used my +1 cap breaker on 3 pointer, to up it to 95 so I can get HOF deadeye. And then Max +1 on shifty shooter to bring it to HOF

Btw what were those shoes? Couldn't tell...

[@KevinCruz016]

That's my point broski! I went through the 20 minute process of detailing how I design my build, managing trade-offs, and giving people ideas how to tweak it to their liking and he's still wilding just because it didn't get the shades he likes lol. I am not forcing anyone to make the build I want, because I designed it for me first, and if someone agrees with it good, but you're free to tweak it because I have a different playstyle! I don't understand why people don't get that part about building. Anyway, it's the New Balance Two Ways that are in the season pass!

[@Spawnamvs]

Not downplaying your skill, but 2 of the buckets you highlighted came from screens giving you the advantage. 90+ perim just to stumble or hug a screen is aggravating to see. It's not an indictment by any means, but just something I noticed Also, saying go more offense when you explicitly said you didnt want to be a liability IN THE VIDEO is wild

[@theyreruiningusa]

Can't blame him for what animations the game gives, and one game in rec and you'll see how bad random guards are at actually taking screens. Its a skill in itself, and literally the number 1 play in basketball. And he literally says makes the build how you want before he says go.more offense. Cmon man lol

@@theyreruiningusa My brother in Christ, I literally said that I wasn't downplaying his skill and followed it up by saying it's not an indictment on him. Just something I noticed. He is saying he beat his opponent off the dribble but the video shows the defender getting clipped by a screen then being put into recovery. It's just an observation I even said in the comment that he said he didn't want to be a defensive liability... did you even read my damn comment past the first part?
