METER DUNK CHANGES and FAST FADES on the RIGHT STICK! SECRET CHANGES from Patch 2.0 in NBA 2K25!

[@tylersherratt4466]

The dunk meter was the one thing I enjoyed in this game why would they even tweak it at all

[@beg11221978]

They freaking broke the dunk meter bro.... wth not cool

[@harlemant1284]

They need to patch this shit man

[@drose_the_god5035]

how can you possibly enjoy meter dunk lmao, it gets canceled, stripped, chased down every single time with someone nearby/behind.

[@hexagonalvr]

​@@drose_the_god5035just because you don't use it doesn't mean other people don't, plus it adds more frequent green dunks, instead of missing most times by flicking it down or up

[@Dellefield]

The rhythm shooting running fades are a game changer for me

[@Highfreqgaming]

Same I could do everything with the shot stick except this.

[@MIIKK3E]

Yeah, definitely. And for those like me that insist in using camera relative for the pro stick moves, instead of "up", you have to point towards the basket whatever side you are.

[@kevk4625]

All I have to do is push up on the stick or do I have to push up and pull down at release point ?

[@Dellefield]

@@kevk4625 I believe you push up and then down. I haven’t tried it yet for myself

[@jelanisolomon3258]

dunk meter is broken now thanks 2k just tested it👍

[@hexagonalvr]

Yeah very sad

[@Kurisutofa22]

The dunk meter isn't supposed to be like this, and if they made chsnges for it, it should be in the patch notes, and it isn't. It's almost impossible to get it to work now.

[@beg11221978]

BIG FACTS. I was meter dunking on everybody.. now I can't trigger it with a99 driving dunk smmfh

[@KyleS.1987]

Thank you for teaching how to do the fast fade. Have you ever done a tutorial on executing all the different shot types? Stepbacks, spin gathers, hop gathers, pull ups, fades... I feel like I have no real idea how to use all these. I've always just been a catch and shoot guy.

[@KevinCruz016]

I have one for stepbacks and hop gathers, but you're right, I should expand on these!

[@theyreruiningusa]

Finally! I thought I was crazy when every attempt to rhythm fade would be slow

[@peezythagod]

That’s a W! Finally , so tired of having to switch to button shots just to use the fading dribble pull ups

[@JustNate365]

1:31 right stick euros have changed a tad too, have b closer to the hoop now it seems.

[@fmlimag]

My Giannis build is cooked :(

[@jacobcooper7064]

This boutta be so nasty for corner fades guarantee they nerf it😂😂😂

[@milocoddington9671]

I was already thinking this😂 I’m going to take advantage of it while I can

[@Tkw-ez4ke]

2k always does this, let us play a certain build of the game then a month later we have to relearn a new system .

[@whateverman23]

The first season is basically the beta.

[@officialnoquestion]

Yea shooting feels almost like 2K24 now. I was purple HOF majority of the yr in 24, highest I've gotten so far in 25 I'm currently a gold pro, so getting that hof tier back looks fairly simple again, and I only run with randoms. You gained a follower brotha.

[@wheelgun_rick]

Thanks bc I just played two rec games and damn near sold bc my dunk meter wasn't going off

[@wang0220]

for me it seems really hard to trigger the aggressive behind the backs, the ones where you double flick down diagonal

[@seth-emmanuelclarke3556]

Yeah, I just left a comment about the same thing. I can’t do it consistently at all

[@GranDaddyIceBox]

If the store by the L has them I will, I ain’t going to the corner store

[@Diegou28]

Great content as alwaysss! Question! Do you ever stream? Would love to see you playing and teaching live!

[@KevinCruz016]

Teaching, probably! I'm due for a new stream, so probably as season 2 launches!

[@strays_6]

Do it make a difference whether you on absolute or camera relative for the fast fades?

[@KevinCruz016]

Yes, it should but I can’t confirm

[@MIIKK3E]

with relative camera instead of flicking up with the RS, you have to flick towards the basket. I feel with absolute it may work better but i also use the relative camera so i also have to adapt a little more

[@Highfreqgaming]

Finally I thought I was not going to be able to fade with the shot stick!

[@TMJ_NOWITZKI]

Thanks for the info on the meter dunk i was freaking out reading people's comments...up here at work not working😂

[@waff6ix]

NEEDED THIS💯💎💎

[@MrDweeny]

So I can go to the up right corner and fade now with turbo ?

[@KevinCruz016]

Yessir, hold up on that Right Stick. While moving left or right, you can now fade even while holding turbo.

[@janriczaldarriaga7576]

For Rythym shooters out there,am i tripping or am i shooting late every time post patch?

[@Marlow-yk7zj]

I might never have found the fast fade inputs. It’s always been a bit frustrating to have to use the button for them. Thanks.

[@lostsoul1349]

How do you do the aggressive behind the back?

[@juliusRnumba15]

The explosive behind the back is not working as well

[@mgl2708]

Wait, the patch is live already?

[@kingthekingable]

Thank you for all the work you put in man. Would you have any information on the change on the explosive behind the back? I can barely do it now while after the patch it is way easier to spam standing behind the backs. I loved the explosive behind the back because I could combo with my shot creating moves way smoother than anything else

[@seth-emmanuelclarke3556]

Ngl, I’m finding it nearly impossible to do the aggressive behind the back consistently because of how fast the double throw has to be now

[@KevinCruz016]

I’ll try to lab this up bro

[@WatThizzIt510]

Is there a way to turn off rhythm shooting and get my right stick functions working again

[@DonDeLem]

Good patch but super unfortunate hit to meter dunks and combo moves. I'll take back the delay on rhythm shooting if I can consistently do these two like pre-patch.

[@btecbeej2994]

Not sure if its just me but I am really struggling to trigger the up down for the dunk meter. Been having more success doing down up motion instead

[@KevinCruz016]

All in all, do what's best for you man! But main tip is to try and do it quicker!

[@btecbeej2994]

Doesn’t bro, that’s how I used to do it before the update, now after the update I try that way and I just do a snatch back

Any info on how to trigger the explosive behind the back? Seems they took it out of the game since the patch

[@KevinCruz016]

Wasn’t aware of this but I’ll look into it. Might be something going on with the tweaks to the right stick

[@BeHeardTheGuru]

Is the patch live already??

[@barryklaus]

Damn 2k. I thought my controller was broken.

[@jayronrojas1316]

You were able to fade and rhythm shoot before, just had to let go of r2 before initiating the fade

[@KevinCruz016]

Yup, I’m aware. But those were only for slow fades. That meant you were unable to do the fastest fade in the game by releasing r2. This allows for that

[@Thejware]

I can’t do the kill 1 behind the back anymore

[@dewanewelch1744]

So long story short they pretty much messed up a bunch of stuff to give something that we didn't ask for innthe first place. They legit basing the entire game around a system that no one asked for and about 70% of the community doesn't even like.

[@stalwartzero7001]

They also took pass option out of step backs

[@vbep3tro120]

They should’ve took out the stupid hang dribble in Dejonte Murray’s dribble style same side speed boost

Can you test square stepback jumpers

Stick feels way better this year man, I don't know if these improved post-patch. But the inputs sometimes don't register with square stepback jumpers on the move for me

[@Godmode_ON24]

How do the fast fades work with relative controls on something like the broadcast cam?

[@MIIKK3E]

@@Godmode_ON24 instead of flicking the rs up, just flick in the direction of the basket. The only downside is that with relative camera, sometimes the direction of the stick is not perfectly align with the basket and the player ends up doing someting like a stepback. Its harder for the ones that like relative camera, me included.
