The NEW ATTACKING SIZE-UPS are a GAME CHANGER in NBA 2K23! | Become a DRIBBLE GOD!

The new attacking size-ups were not very well explained in the tutorial, so I'm here to show you why these moves are a game changer and how this should be a foundational part of your bag!

[@phoenixdragon1620]

Was watching your crossover video last night and was hoping you would cover attacking size ups🤟🏼

[@KevinCruz016]

Yessir! I got two more dropping tomorrow, and I hope the main dribble tutorial in less than a week!

[@mr_kraabs6951]

Oh god thank you so much for this!! Can you please make more? I want to get better at dribbling as a shot creator ❤️🙏

[@KevinCruz016]

Appreciate you!!! And yeah, we’re going to keep doing our thing this year!! Stay tuned!!

[@i-800-imaproblem3]

Great video, clear & descriptive explanation, definitely going to work on my handles while playing a pausing your video 😂, keep up the great work 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@KevinCruz016]

Thank you bro!! I am also cooking up a dribble tutorial which covers a lot more in depth stuff! Dropping on the weekend because it deserves extra attention to detail!

[@KillxShot_330]

Best IRL dribbling / use of animations I’ve seen thus far. Just subbed just off the strength of that. Good stuff my guy 💪🏾

[@KevinCruz016]

Appreciate the sub Kevin!!!!

[@_The1whoknocks]

Here's a hop step or post move I have never seen anybody else cover. When you hold the right stick away from the basket to do a post fade, you can rotate the stick around until it is facing the basket to do a post fade bank shot. It is great for players that have a high bankshot tendency like Tim Duncan. You can also do this with escape hop shots. Hold R2 and Right stick in a direction and then rotate the right stick towards the basket during the release

[@_The1whoknocks]

Another very underutilized move-set this year is escape jumpers by holding R2 and holding the right stick in different directions to do hop step shots. Especially when jumping towards the basket. Try calling a P&R and as you are going around the screen hold R2 and Right stick forward and you'll quickly jump forward past the screen for a shot while the defender is usually to slow to contest. This is great for hoping in different directions to keep the screener between you and the defender. There's a ton of great combinations I slay ppl with.

This year's in and out is by far the best I've seen in years. It actually puts you on you're ass. It was so slow in the past.

[@KevinCruz016]

Yeah jeebs, it’s so dynamic compared to before and the stuff you can combo with it are crazy nice! 23 is SPECIAL!!

[@_The1whoknocks]

I had no idea you could double up on the attacking crossover. That's a game changer!! I pulled Tis The Season PD K.D and Luka today and they are ungodly at creating space and doing hop jumpers!

[@_The1whoknocks]

How did you chain. That double escape crossover size-up into a smooth step-back with Kyrie at 0:05 ? When i try doing it there's a bit of choppiness or a slight lull before he does the stepback

[@castleford2591]

Don't forget. This also opens up the face up game in the high post. Especially for Hakeem. You can even do a retreat dribble out of the triple threat (Or post with a live dribble)into an attack dribble/sizeup into a Left trigger fadeaway or Hopstep Jumper, or Stepback Jumper/Sidestep Jumpers.

[@KevinCruz016]

Yeah, I’ve already started to incorporate the attacking sizeups out of triple threat and post launches. It’s definitely one of the best ways to attack your defenders, and can be especially deadly if used in non traditional positions. Already got a deep dive planned for these combos, stay tuned!!

[@ojmsn]

This is good to know 🔥

[@braysenju]

If the ball is in your right hand for instance, flick the right stick to the right then immediately to the left and you’ll do a unique size up based on your moving crossover. Donovan Mitchell has an OP one

[@KevinCruz016]

Oh hell yeah Bray! Those are the switch-back combos, I 100 percent agree that Donovan Mitchell's combo is so OP because it launches him forward. That's a banger of a move!

The sad thing about the attacking in and out is that you can never predict which variation it is going to do and only one of them is super useful. Sorry for all the comments, just been commenting as I go through the vid and it is such great content 🤣

[@KevinCruz016]

No man, I appreciate you bro!! I agree with the attacking in and out though, there's just too many variations and not really one way to trigger them on command without getting a dice roll on which animation you get!

[@xris0991]

Great video but I have a question. How do you use the attacking size ups so that you move laterally? I can only use the attacking size ups to where I’m moving North-South, not East-West.

[@KevinCruz016]

Each player has their own style of attacking sizeups! KDs first cross is lateral, so is booker’s. Try and see what works best for you! If you want more lateral movement try the escape dribble crossovers too!

I have not played MyCareer this year yet, but my guess is you got to look in coach settings and turn Playvision display on to full. Hope that helps!

[@jamelswanson3529]

You have to go to coach settings and go to playvision lite or full or lite+full

[@chrisgravel953]

If you want to play like this you must down item défense on baller 50 to 40 or 30

[@RuthlessUP]

which dribble animations determines these moves your are showcasing? size up escape packages ? or signatuer size ups?

[@KevinCruz016]

Anything held with R2 are size up escape packages. So the attacking crossover and the double escape dribble tween are sizeup escape packages. The attacking in and out isnt done by holding r2 so thats just signature sizeups!

[@domsee1053]

It's at least new this year, because it wasn't in last year's 2K, so I think this is very much worth highlighting because it changes the way people can set defenders up in 2K. If we're going back as far as 2K10 then this is still a new mechanic.

I agree. I’m actually coming from 2k21 and I have to say that 2k21 feels a lot nicer, faster, smoother and more easy to understand in terms of dribbling. You can apply the same “dribble moves” to any player and how well those moves are executed are down to the players ratings and attributes etc. yet now in 2k23 you have to learn combos and it’s frustrating if you just want to play the game and have fun. Currently 2k23 feels really janky and I try and turbo and it feels like I can’t go past anyone? Is it only me saying this? Or am I completely wrong.
