The MOST OVERPOWERED POST MOVES in NBA 2K25! Advanced Post Guide!

[@jeebs9]

For anyone that thinks they are a perimeter player and don't need this. Y'all are completely wrong

[@soloty8952]

Don’t tell them , it’s easier to guard people that do the same moves

[@iiHangtimeii]

This is so right

[@thebigg3557]

Let them keep thinking that

[@KevinCruz016]

You fellas definitely know ball!

[@Godmode_ON24]

No reason these won't work online. The stagger animation happens because the defender is pushing up to counter the back down. It's kind of a reverse chair pull where you use the defender's momentum against them to to stagger them. All it takes for that to work online is to do a back down or two and then the defender will keep holding their left stick towards you with turbo. In that case, your spin will just stagger them. Paired with the occasional fade, this can be really confusing to defend against and gives you 3 options as an attacker. Back down all the way to a close shot, spin off after a back down or fade.

[@jeebs9]

@@Godmode_ON24 We have arrived. A man of detail right here. Listen to this. One of the biggest problems the last 2-3 cycle is the way spin move works (and drop steps). 2K got smart about adding this exact tiny layer. I love it.

[@KevinCruz016]

Yessir, that last bit of clips with Jokic hints at this. Bump, bump, spin, trap is what I call it.

[@Wesley-yb8nl]

Bro offline this game is so damn smooth and fun 😂

[@KevinCruz016]

Like butter broski!!

[@fkanous6077]

FIRE videos. But, i personally REALLY need an updated DEFENSE video.

[@sporkaccione]

Bro how consistently do you pull these off? Because I'm landing the spin cancel on like 1/20 tries. Feel like it's possible you don't land these consistently yourself, since all the clips are just play now restarts. Would be nice to know if it's worth working on this more or not for consistency. I don't like how you giga zoom in on the sticks covering up the L2/R2 triggers on 3/4 examples shown. Zoom in is cool effect but don't cover the triggers

[@MrDrPatrick505]

I can’t stress this enough. This game damn near feels like a revolution. Love this vid, Kev!

[@allnation]

I got lost at release L2 and before the animation 😂 😂

[@KevinCruz016]

Takes time to let it sink in, dont worry man! I’ll try to do a slower paced video!

[@Wesley-yb8nl]

This is the smoothest and closest to the real thing what we all see on tv with the nba right now today, there has never been a game that captures the movements and momentum and actual way the players play like this game. Idc what anyone says I’ve played a couple dozen games of my nba season with realism sliders and I actually like to play with all the players so I pick every team the whole league any game I can play so it’s not really about my team winning. Yeah when I play a game of course but I play with every team. I even make sure every player has the correct shoes and color way on too. This game is crazy realistic if you know how to play it how it’s supposed to be played. ❤❤🙏🙏

[@KevinCruz016]

Beautiful stuff to read my brother! Its these examples of joy and video games that really reinforces why we continue to do this!

[@Wesley-yb8nl]

@@KevinCruz016 since watching your vids I’ve been able to learn how to replicate what I watch on tv when I watch the nba.

[@MikeJones281hou]

2k said they are going towards realism but you can literally make more jumpshots then hooks. And a post hook in real life is a high percentage shot 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@KevinCruz016]

Post hooks are still no bueno unless you got embiid on unfortunately.

[@babyhuwe05]

Actually, post hooks are not that easy at all in real life. That's y barely any bigs today use them because they never learned how was to busy tryin to pull from the logo like curry

[@swamprat900]

I've been at it for a bit but "The post-Spin Step-thru" at 6:57 rarely triggers even when I'm practicing solo. are you supposed to delay the right stick till after the character fully spins... I can't seem to get it right

[@emorydf6359]

I only play w the Miami Heat against the Lakers head to head on HOF difficulty. Which one these post moves could BAM use against a high level defender like AD ?

[@KevinCruz016]

Bam can use his quickness against AD, but AD is tough ngl. You’re gonna have to combine using backdowns and spins to get AD to bite. But any of the post spin counters and combos should be what you aim for!

[@gatermantv6810]

Does this work on all camera views I play in broadcast stadium

[@Skriptzzz]

I’m having real trouble doing the post spin counter is it more of a timing of when I do the inputs or am I missing something? What messes me up is the counter spin part where you cancel the post spin to do an inside hook. I’ve done it just not consistently. Am I missing something?

[@donnellsmith2106]

I hate that you don't use dribble moves and square, and the shot stick instead, but I get it and great content

[@alanl5918]

I too love that KD post fade animation at the right elbow turning right using the right stick but sometimes it gives me short turn to the left animation (the one when you only press square). Have you faced such problem??

[@KevinCruz016]

Yessir, usually when you’re more towards the center of the court. It throws me off, so I make sure to keep on the right side of the floor for the most part

[@SACHMODEL]

Bro Can u use Embiid to see if he's dominant

[@KevinCruz016]

Pretty much man, that go to shot is money. His post fade going right is a killer, and he has the best post hook in the game.

[@djeffectz007]

having trouble getting the bully post animation, once i cancel the spin, i just right up on the right stick while holding L2?

[@KevinCruz016]

It won't activate every time, but it works best if you have post up powerhouse. I found that there isn't one universal input to this, but it works the best for me while holding R2 and Up on the RS immediately after getting someone caught in a post spin animation.

[@MichaelIgnacio-ys4jv]

Bro I need your camera settings!

[@DaSaint79]

Is there a build that goes with this?

[@KevinCruz016]

I don't have a pure post scoring big yet, but target Post-up poet on hall of fame, post-up powerhouse on HOF, and paint prodigy on Gold and you should have fun. Then decide whether you're a middy fade guy, or a close shot guy and adjust accordingly.

[@aminefunko9998]

Anybody know how to put the player's name and hi position below him with the circle ? and how to turn of the red circle below the player ? Thank you

Bro I have a question : How do you do choose a specific player to do a screen ? It looks like I have to press L1 and then another button to ask a specific player to do the screen... But what button is it ?

[@reese5545]

After you tap L1/LB you just hold the button of the player you want to set the screen. You have to tap L1 though don’t hold it or it will just call the PF/C whoever is closest.

I have a question that's unrelated to the current topic. I'm in Cambodia an d I'm having trouble playing NBA2K25 with others. My internet seems slow and I think the server is too far away, causing high latency. Basketball isn't popular here, as everyone prefers playing FIFA because they love soccer. Should I push myself to play with others on NBA2K25, or should I just focus on playing My Career and Streetball?

[@kendallallen6618]

I don't know exactly what your set up is, but if you can establish a wired connection from your console to the router your speed will be better. Playing against real people is a good way to get better, but whatever you're having the most fun with.

[@gahetopo]

@@kendallallen6618 I requested Static IP & they said its not about the Static IP or my internet. It's the game itself. Live I've said I'm here in Cambodia soccer is their culture. There's no way in hell I will have a better latency, especially in this game, because I will be forced to play NBA2K25 outside this country. Btw my set-up is wired on a 150 Mbps

What is your right stick setting? Shots only or default?

[@KevinCruz016]

Default! I need the RS dribbling still, even though I shoot mostly with the stick now

[@bobbycruzjr7790]

These moves look awesome Kevin. But my question would be what would the badge minimum requirements be to do such moves? Do I need a certain amount of Ball Handle or is Post Move Poet through Post Control enough? Example : Can someone's "Shaq" Build with 99 Post Control do these moves with no Ball Handle? Thanks in Advance

[@KevinCruz016]

I definitely would recommend getting post up poet on at least Gold - so whatever post control gets you there should be the minimum. Middy at a 90-94 if you're a post fade kind of guy, close shot at 92 if you like your post hooks and close shots. Strength should be an 86 minimum!
