Oh my god. I cannot put into words how great this video is. Almost every video on youtube talks about cheese moves, but no one actually explains how to play against the cpu on basketball fundamentals. I've been looking for a video like this since nba 2k16, and you did it the best. thanks so much! The only problem I have is I don't exactly know how to launch as quick as you do, like in the first example, when you crossover to the right, you go so fast, you you do that crossover with the right button pressed? or you just tap it? you have to keep the analog to the direction you wanna go or you just tap the analog? is there a video on your channel teaching these fundamentals? Thanks so much for this video.

Appreciate the kind words my guy! And I appreciate your mentality! Most of the community really looking for the easy way out with OP animations, so I thought I had to get something in there in terms of using basketball fundamentals to set up how we play the game! In terms of launching out of animations, my first tip is to know when to launch by getting familiar with different launch windows out of RS moves. On your question on controls, I hold the left stick diagonally up-left or up-right towards the direction where I want to launch, and hold R2 simultaneously as I launching using the left stick. So say you want to launch out of a right stick crossover (tap Right Stick left to non-ball hand), I wait for the right launch window in the animation, then hold turbo and hold the Left stick up-and to the right to launch into my crossover launch move. Keep the left stick held up-right to continue your fast burst out of the crossover. You'll need to work on your launch timing really well, and really get familiar with your different sizeup animations. I hope this helps, and if you need more advice, just let me know!

@KevinCruz0162 жыл бұрын
Appreciate the kind words Trevor! I wouldnt spend too much time getting the advanced dribble moves down, but I would work on combining set-ups from the triple threat to knowing which moves to combo with while on the move. I’d say just spend the 3 hours it takes to learn the basics of triple threat and dribbling. While developing combos. And use in game situations to really map out your play style and develop combos!

When are you using turbo? I feel like if you overuse turbo, the CPU be sticking to you like magnets.
@KevinCruz0162 жыл бұрын
Just during the initial launch move and blowby and the drive to the basket. I don't rely on turbo too much because of how stamina can get drained easily, I like to strategically use it at the right time when they're out of position. You can check the stamina bar, you'll rarely see it depleted or get really low. The defense sticking like magnets is just how it is on next gen, especially on HOF I think!
