Everyone always says they will utilize the post but I've been playing as a post scorer every single year since 2k18 and it's EXTREMELY rare that I run into another post scorer. And when I say rare I mean RARE

I try but unless you're backing down and cheesestepping it's rough. Even against ai. I'd like to think I'm a little better since watching these vids tho.

@ThatGuy-en2nn it's just a learning curve bro stick with it and practice it like you practice your current play style. I've always played in the post even before my career just like with my friends play now. This is my first year learning how to dribble though 😂

@@FonkedUpProductions Bruh like I know how to do a few different combos in the post as i like to play with old school centers, but most just lead to contestable shots that occasionally work against ai. Unless you're elite at it like Kevin and more importantly FAST enough to catch people off guard, they're contesting easy. Especially if they're aggressive jumpers. If you're a different position with some speed I guess it could be different but playing a pure slower center in the post is hell. Ion think it's a learn the curve thing. Just unless you've amazing at it, it's hard to use the post game in the middle of match without dropstep cheese.

@ThatGuy-en2nn how do you get amazing at it? By practicing. You just don't start by being amazing. I've been playing in the post as a center and having great success for years but I didn't start out successful I had to practice and get there. You can do it bro trust me. I believe in you

Wish I saw more post play online. If anybody is posting up, it's usually one of the bigs. My SG has a 72 Mid-Range and greens post shots consistently with no Post Fade Phenom at all. I think if you at least have that badge on Bronze or even if you have an 80+ without that badge, you're neglecting a very significant part of offense if you're not taking shots in the post 🔥

@SummrBrk - I use Jayson Tatum post fade and Kobe post hop jumper. I used those animations all of 2K23 with a 75 Middy so I'm used to them. Fastest post fade is Pro 2 if you care about speed

Not really...they would probably be contested. I play post against an aggressive irl defender. It's actually easier to just cheese to the rim. Minimal movements to make him bite then go.

@@ThatGuy-en2nn it’s all about getting this down and mastering it man, I hear ya but this is way more respectable then cheesing everything. That’s basically what 2k has become, no real skill just exploits of glitchy moves. I can’t respect it. You have bigs that’ll stand around in park all day while a ball hog pg will dribble the entire clock out instead of mastering moves like this, sad for the game honestly.

Kevin, my dude. I always enjoy watching your post tutorials. As a person who loves playing In the post, I'm definitely not as good as you in these clips because of the lack of understanding on how to trigger these animations. What is the best way that you practice all your moves? I mainly play my player, and I do not like the Gatorade Gym.
