HOW TO PLAY ELITE ON BALL DEFENSE IN NBA 2K25!

[@ranchjenkem6002]

Please make the off ball defense video. I know they’re probably the lowest view count type of videos you can make but I love IQ/theory vids-that’s what makes this game (and sport) so fun. Not always about your ability to memorize the newest drippy combo of the year; general hoop knowledge applied in-game can be powerful too

[@waff6ix]

2 WAY TENACITY GOT ME FEELIN LIKE I GOT HEAT CHECK ALREADY🤣🤣

[@Yahurr]

Good looks. Made a 6'7 PG kinda similar to Koza's with less finishing. After my first cap breaker will have a 99 perimeter defense, 86 agility, and a 85 strength. Immoveable +1'd to HOF. Looking forward to strapping shit up.

[@MichaelTrammell2825]

I’ll still go pass you 😂😂😂

[@nickmiller5685]

I’m turning my Xbox off if I get matched against you 😭

[@Majai1738]

When you’re fighting through screens are you holding LT , holding LT & RT , Nothing , hands up D , or sprinting

[@LakerFan]

Usually just LT. I play on ball D like a racing game 😂 RT if I need to catch up, LT if I’m good, maybe both rarely

[@BTAxBigJesus]

Great question. I've always wondered this. Past 2ks screens have been insane. Seems like they are toned down a bit this year.

[@groovestreet77]

I would hold turbo throw a screen

[@YOUNGSIZZLE21]

Lock . I really enjoy watching these videos breakdowns thanks for the info 🔥

[@Darklight-jj8ke]

About 6:15 Watched Brutes vid earlier today, according to someone he was watching even if the shot says wide open, even having a distant defender closing out affects the shot like its contested (even as far back as the outside key). So deadarse just running at em is enough for a lot people who don't have their shot down

[@nesqwic6404]

Hey quick question how’d you end up getting that court for 3v3?

[@thatoneguy1741]

Good video for my 6’8 2 way stretch 4 z, 3 and D takeover gives you some serious clamps

Does Apollo have a YT to talk about his build and how he runs things? Curious about his perspective this season and how he runs defense

[@LakerFan]

I got you on his behalf soon. But you can catch him on Twitch every now and then (Apollostruthh)

With how many different takeovers there are this year, do you plan on doing a tier list for them?

[@jcooksey19]

Already did

[@LakerFan]

Potentially but it’s tough with how you have to unlock them first

I miss PG laker it was so funny to see you on a smaller shooter

[@SBzKillFrenzy]

The just of defending is mostly anticipation, but also knowing when to let go of intense -D , and just using the right analog stick

[@MJU682]

Also angles. And moving in a straight line is always faster than dancing around. So stay between your man and the basket. know that the straight line to the basket will make them have to take a longer path. Like in transition for example just run straight back and you’ll get there way faster. And if your new just run back don’t try to worry about o boards unless your especially equipped for that. Good luck

[@SBzKillFrenzy]

@@MJU682 I'm definitely equipped for that lol I will end up with a 99 offensive rebound and a 95 defensive lol I'm always banging in the paint...but occasionally I get switched to guards, and I can hold my hold...which is crazy to me

[@MikeUchawi]

I can't believe you made such an insightful video with those barebone notes from the beginning, dude probably aced literature in schoold

[@LakerFan]

I don’t wanna go into detail too much while just looking at the notes. But I usually don’t write anything down before recording, this is more just for your ability to see what’s gonna be discussed as some talking points. Just passionate about a topic and it’s easy to yap baha

[@MikeUchawi]

@@LakerFan that's even more impressive. I would literally stutter in that situation

What does Two Way tenacity actually do?? Boost physicals??

[@Blaine_Go]

Last year, when you got a defensive stop, you got a boost to your next shot taken.
