The BEST NBA 2K24 DRIBBLE TUTORIAL for BEGINNER and ADVANCED players!

[@KevinCruz016]

I don't usually do this lol - but I have a secret size-up guide that will get released if this video reaches 1,000 likes. Is the secret size-up guide good? Well, guys like Paul George, Devin Booker, D-Rose, and CP3 all get some nice new animations and combos out of it.

[@BRUH-lf2ss]

Bro can you please do Paul George his sigs are nasty

[@ernestohernandez9370]

damm that is awesome great job.

[@matthewjosephcabungcal5047]

You know what man just eff u. When it's time to actually teach the moves and controls, you inexplicably talk faster. But when talking about these useless premises, it takes forever. You're always doing this, plus your pinoy accent isn't helping at all. Not even sorry, cause u lack connection to your viewers, literally just up there talking to a microphone and a screen.

[@GoldCityFlash]

I hope we reach it but you really deserve waaay more than 1000!

[@whydothat2977]

Man I learn so much

[@benpetrie1395]

I get so lost trying to listen and understand everything I suck

[@KevinCruz016]

Hwy Bem, Part of that is on me because there's a lot to cover and maybe tried to rush a few spots. My advice is to take everything in chunks. There's a lot of information there. Pick and choose what you learn first, then apply it in game, and move on to the next! Take things slow and don't let yourself get caught up in trying to be good too fast!

[@MrDeshrine]

Your videos changed my game completely. Now I can do what I want. With physical handles on gold, when a player barely beats me to the spot, I tap turbo and knock him off me. I can then finish the drive with bully or float into space with no turbo for a HOF middy magician and gold deadeye. If they follow too close I hit the stepback with gold space creator. These dribble tutorials unlocked my 6'10" 3-level threat.

Just for future reference instead of saying down left up right up left down right left right right left etc, it’s a lot clearer if you just say flick the stick toward the ball or away from the ball, and that covers both sides that you can do any animation from

[@KaponeONS]

I’m confused at the part when you speak about target size up combos (3:05) I’m not sure how you do it exactly

[@KevinCruz016]

"Target size up combos" are right stick combos that 2K designed to be used specifically in the game. To see what they are, go into the edit roster menu, and take a look at the dribble combos being displayed in the demo of the signature size-up. These are 2K's "target combos"

[@FlashThundarr]

[@jeromedonato6259]

Does different camera angles affect the direction of dribbles when using R stick?

[@KevinCruz016]

If you have it on absolute no, but LS inputs will be affected (so momentum crossovers, shammgods, misdirections)

Will take me a hot minute to get it down but for now im lucky I imported A.I. in my 76ers gameplay so he kinda does it on his own

[@mikehunt9884]

last year and all of the 2ks before had that cancel move, where you would be able to cancel out drible moves by hitting up on the right stick and down on the left, andhe would do some kind of snatch back dribble, but now it doesnt work anymore

[@KevinCruz016]

They took that away because it was too powerful, but you can still do that but it’s a different animation now

[@mikehunt9884]

@@KevinCruz016 well up and down don't work, i think now its diagonal up right or left, and down on the left stick while holding turbo.. but the thing is, its only certain animation packages that do it. Instead of being able to do it with any animations, its now linked to the "Stepback" animation you get to pick this year.. but i dunno..

[@Yrnmufasa]

Sometimes I don’t even believe if this is HOF fr cus shit to difficult when I try em. 😂

[@KevinCruz016]

You guys just don’t see the behind the scenes where I also fail in figuring things out man! HOF is designed to take away your ability to do this stuff. So it’s a great training ground to push yourself, then trust me online is much easier!

[@Yrnmufasa]

@@KevinCruz016 get you now ✨

[@Kaib902]

I find some double throw animations are not consistent, I do the same input and a different second move will happen, it's hard to do things and set things up when your not sure what animation you will get

[@pronouncedseven652]

I’m having a problem knowing when to hold turbo to speed boost launch 🚀

[@KevinCruz016]

Most of the time, it's more because you're holding the left stick at the wrong time, rather than holding turbo. So make sure that when you activate your speedboost, you launch at the right time within the animation. It takes a lot of work, but once you get the timing down, it's going to come naturally. Different animations have different optimal speed boost windows. So practice a lot, then make your opponents pay!

Will you say mastering to use the RS for shooting than the square button will better improve ur dribbling into shooting. Which is better?

[@CharlesSlaughter-b4y]

Yo, what's good Kev I want to start off by saying your definitely a Goat on the sticks and undoubtedly have a excellent understanding of the gameplay physics of this game so, salute. But I wonder if you would be transparent to a question I have are you using that pro controller with the moves and shots set to a specific button? I never see you miss bro or make a mistake at anything, now obviously you have the 5, console and hell probably every other new console on the market, as for me I'm still on current gen at the moment and I gotta admit I normally only play my career and because of how expensive 2k made playing on my team I had stopped playing that mode for a huge gap, and I hardly ever played online in the lobbies, so I suck point blank, but I always thrived in the my agenda's and challenge's so I always reached lvl 40 in my team way before time was up, so I normally have decent cards to choose from, but to me I noticed this year that the shooting is a little different again I honestly can say it's an improvement in a way but it feels like 2k slipped back to how 2k22 was when you advanced to the higher tiers like superstar and up you start missing way more shots, and I for one am frustrated I don't mind the level of A comp getting stronger on those levels but why do you they have to tinker with the shooting percentages of your players especially if the meter is full, it should be a made shot no matter what that's the bar they set for us to ascend to so don't add the politics to the gameplay leave it alone, even on free throws more full bar misses ridiculous, and don't get me started on the layup's under the basket this year , anyway man what are the best settings for my team play and how about a shooting tutorial my G for sappy player's like myself, man your videos are so good I can't even watch them all the way through because I end up becoming depressed at my own skill level, but I can't deny I Love to see it though because if nothing else at least you can see what could be possible, I guess they ban you from competing in the tournament's for the prize money huh, you would decimate all comer's with how you just waltz all through defense's, HELP a eternal newb out !!😢

[@KevinCruz016]

Man believe me, I'm bricking a fair share too especially since I play on HOF! The struggle is real man, at the higher difficulties, the game can be pretty unforgiving. But this is week one bro! I'm still getting used to shooting too! I think I finally settled on shooting settings that I like - I have my release timing set to push and it's been working way more for me. My advice is to not let the game frustrate you, take frequent breaks, spend a little time practicing, and more importantly do what you need to do to have fun with the game!

[@CharlesSlaughter-b4y]

@@KevinCruz016 thanks for the speedy response Kev appreciate your attention to your community, I feel you and I also play on HOF on my career, as far as my team I didn't even realize we actually could pick a setting for the agendas and challenges I thought it was a setting determined by the game, I mean if I'm gonna suck at least let it be at the echelon of levels, and earn as much xp and vc as possible and trust me I actually do spend way more time on the practice court than I ever have before, my gripe is it never seems to actually translate to the actual gameplay get me on the practice court and I'm fairly cash, but again bro I ain't gonna hold you, appreciate your advice it's definitely things I do already do, but I also work so when I'm off I'm cramming playing time like I'm studying for finals, trying to stay consistent but hasn't actually been the case, stay real Kev and again man love the content your extremely thorough!
