Bought this game yesterday and I SUCK. The game is genuinely punishing my ignorance of the sport (more of an ice hockey guy normally, but with the horrid shit coming out of the league, needed a switch) - so thank you for educating me. 2KU as a tutorial mode lacks so much info. I'm getting bullied by the AI out here.
@@feodiente9460 I resold the game already. Just didn't have the time and energy to grind out some skills. Had it been a sport I'm really passionate about I would have enjoyed that, but I bought this as a compromise, and it just sucked out all enjoyment for me. Entertainment felt like a second job.
I need every tutorial out there. I'm so bad a the game I don't even want to play it. It seems like the ai is unrealistic. I can't get past any defender, every jumper is off, set a pick the computer slips through every time, and they never miss. This is in my team on all star which is depressing.
Game does it on purpose, iv been playing 2k forever, and even I can’t score at the start, give it 10-20 games and it’ll get easier then slowly you’ll dominate, they purposely put the difficulty like this
I felt similar until I started playing a PF slasher/rebounder. Jumpshots are just more difficult so I know spend my time defending, setting screens and popping when I can. As I said I play PF and I was drifted by the Trailblazers so I'm having lots of fun playing of Lillard, Powell and McColum. I even play on HoF now. Try it!
Just a little tip for anyone having trouble scoring…switch the difficulty to Pro until you get the hang of the game, also shoot around at practice and try to keep getting greens, I literally shoot around at practice until I get like 30-40..sometimes 50 greens. 💯 not even kidding. Also when shooting, if you’re shooting with the shot meter, instead of looking at the shot meter, look at your player and try to kind of watch the shot meter at the same time through your peripheral vision, this will help you understand and know your players animation and jump shot timing for greens. Don’t just practice shooting stand still dribbles either, try to practice shooting off the dribble, turn around jumpers, fade always, hop steps, step backs etc because all of these moves have different animations and jump shot timing, even stand still mid-range shots, and stand-still 3pt shots having different jump shot/green window timing. The key is to just practice..Kobe Bryant spent hours in the gym working on his game in REAL LIFE, that’s why he was able to win 5 championships 🏆 with the Lakers, it was practice, dedication, hardwork, and blood, sweat, and tears..he didn’t just become successful over night..and that applies to everything in life! If you want to be successful at anything it’s going to require practice, dedication, and hard work..and most of the time when people hit a roadblock when they’re working on something..they tend to give up, and little do they know it’s often times when they were JUST about to achieve something. Reminds me of that meme with the man digging for gold, he dug like 10 feet..and said fuck it, I quit, and little did he know…if he would’ve dug just a couple more inches, it would’ve been a pile of gold looking him dead in the face. Always remember that man, don’t ever give up on ANYTHING that you really want to do, otherwise you’re just proving to yourself and to others that you really might not have wanted to do it as much as you thought. I know I’m ranting right now and forgive me for that, but, a lot of times in our society we even see celebrities and stuff on Instagram, TH-cam, Twitter etc and see the life style that they’re living, but we hardly ever get to actually SEE the time, and dedication that it took to get to even a fraction of that wealth/fame. It’s as they say: “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. Other than Egypt that’s one of the worlds most famous time periods, it’s still talked about and studied till this day and we have far better technology, resources, wealth, jobs etc than they EVER had..and yet we’re still marveled by what they did..look at Egypt, scientist and all kinds of drs and etc can’t even figure out how tf the Egyptians were able to preserve a dead body through mummification till this day and we in 2021!! They did that shit close to a couple thousand years ago, and yet nobody was able to figure that shit out?!?! This whole time?! 😳 all the construction equipment that we have and people still can’t figure out how the Pyramids were made?!?! That’s crazy, but that’s also hard work, dedication, blood, sweat, and tears…literally.
I know right. I am still trying to make sense of it all, the fact that I am having to study tutorials to play the game is mad. Best feeling in the world when I nail a sick bucket after beating defenders though. 😁
The best 2kyears offered the controller option to use dribble only But when u hold L2 it makes u shoot n post move And easports nba live series had the best controls with 2 shooting buttons, square for jumpshot ... and circle for layup/dunk attempts or floaters/runners from deep
thanks for the tutorial but can you answer why my guy is taking contact layups on the right side of the rim and shooting with his left hand all it does is make my shot easier to block instead of using my dominant right hand to take the layup?
Try to make sure the ball is in your dominant hand when you start gathering, I am right handed but play left handed because it is easier to grab steals on right handed dribblers, but I always forget when I’m driving
Best 2k game in years, had 2k21 and was content, then they dropped this to under 10 bucks and I pounced and I am glad I did, love how tight the gameplay is, so much better even with the weird shot meter.
Is pro stick absolute or camera relative better? I get issues having the fastest Jump shot possible, where sometimes instead of dribbling it will shot fake, or vice versa. Do you have recommendations?
Also this was really helpful. I played ball, but the game still leaves me with a lot of questions, including how to play on harder difficulty. My team misses wide open lay ups on any mode but pro
Na bro I for real got a problem with this can great video but for the love of god I can't fo a single thing in this video the only thing I can do is use my right stick to do a left hand dunk right hand duck two hand dunk and a flashy one idk where all this hop step shit comes from but I'm too brain dead to do any of it
Recommend it? Here's my take ,I've been playing 2k "religiously" since 2k11 ,more casual before that. I played 2k21 on last gen up to a few days ago ,got a new console Friday and bought 2k21 cheap ,since I liked it on my Xbox one. But 2k21 is absolutely horrible on new gen ,worst 2k when it comes to franchise/Myleague/myNba. I'm playing myNba like mycareer ,a created player and having him on player lock. My issue is that CPU team mates can't make a basket ,when simmed ,good stats ,when I'm on the court ,nothing! I just had a 10 min qtr (My player on player lock) where the other 4 player made 3 baskets ,2 FT and a layup. Absolutely a joke ,that's how it is every game. Using Shady mike's sliders 12 min qtr ,never had one single issue on old gen ,this though... I seriously hope this isn't the issue on 22? Good video , you're always trustworthy

Same. I love the game but hate too
I would have never been able to play this game effectively without these tutorials. Thank you for these!

Are You Hitting The Mid Range Jumper Against A Big In The Paint Or Trying To Dunk On Him?
Both, I can shoot and slash like a beast!
Thanks ever since I changed my settings to shots only, I'm catching bodies in the paint
Feel meeeee
What if I‘m using the right stick only for dribble moves do I have the possibility to make the reverse dunk or similar things with the square button?
Im late an just got this game, how do I get dunk packages?
Been waiting on this one!!! 💯
What is your camera angles I just got 2k
Why is eurostep same stick move like cradle?? Explain pls
Great video. Everything you said was on point. I usually try to dunk on them. Seeing all the information in video is beautiful
The best 2kyears offered the controller option to use dribble only
But when u hold L2 it makes u shoot n post move
And easports nba live series had the best controls with 2 shooting buttons, square for jumpshot ... and circle for layup/dunk attempts or floaters/runners from deep
thanks for the tutorial but can you answer why my guy is taking contact layups on the right side of the rim and shooting with his left hand all it does is make my shot easier to block instead of using my dominant right hand to take the layup?
Try to make sure the ball is in your dominant hand when you start gathering, I am right handed but play left handed because it is easier to grab steals on right handed dribblers, but I always forget when I’m driving
use the right stick without turbo to control what hand your player uses to lay the ball up
Great Video bro, we need these types of tutorials. Appreciate you!
I been pressing turbo and rs either felt left or flat right and can never get contact dunks hopfully this shit will help
Amazing video
Best 2k game in years, had 2k21 and was content, then they dropped this to under 10 bucks and I pounced and I am glad I did, love how tight the gameplay is, so much better even with the weird shot meter.
hey man i love ur content bro i subbed and liked. how do u get to the place you were practicing and showing off the layups?
play now> 2ku>freestyle 💪🏿
Does this work on play now online too?
Super Helpful!! Thanks 👍
Getting confused. Drive is same as right trigger? Meaning R2 on PS?
When I drive and use my stick to Dunk but it dribbles and I have my setting on default
Is pro stick absolute or camera relative better? I get issues having the fastest Jump shot possible, where sometimes instead of dribbling it will shot fake, or vice versa. Do you have recommendations?
Change pro stick from default to "DRIBBLE ONLY"..that should do it
Can you make a video for bigs finishing in the paint just like this one?
I'd check that out, that's what I'm looking for now
Is there a way to pump fake while driving?
Yes when driving tap square (not hold) the animation of faking shot will show then after that you hold square for taking shot or just pass
Thank you very much for this
Perfection👍🏾
I embraced so much slasher. I can't wait till I make my slasher
Thanks bro what a useful video :D
My shooting is low tier but I’m going to try your advice
I’m in JV. What level are you in ?
Im trying to dunk in gam but whenever a defender is in front it just makes my guy do a layup. help
Then you need a posterize and limitless takeoff badge sir and atleast 85 dunk rating
Also this was really helpful. I played ball, but the game still leaves me with a lot of questions, including how to play on harder difficulty. My team misses wide open lay ups on any mode but pro
Every time I get to the paint I get 4 people on me and I can’t score it’s frustrating
The voice crack at 9:19 is golden 👌🏿
I hear the whole city of Baltimore in your voice mane..🤣
yew
Shot stick or square for inside shots 🤔
Square is easier 4 me,what do u use?
Square is the one
First time seeing your content 🔥🔥🔥💯
Do post up moves
That's coming up real soon!
Hitting Sprint too early might be one of my problems. Thanks for this video.
If you don’t use the stick for shots can you still do the one handed dunks?
Thanks
Can you hit With layup timing on?
In 2K23 layup timing is better, thats what people say
Wait... why does it take driving layup attributes to unlock tear dropper badges? Im confused
because 2k
Somehow that made perfect sense. 2k fuckin up
5:16 this one is impossible for D Rose
You explain it Soo good ,bruh I'm watching all thos am about to become a beast 💪🔥
Appreciate that, be sure to sub for more!
Bro this video changed my game. I Went from stop getting block by big man
What standing dunk rating should I have?
if ur a big have it like 80 or 90 if ur a guard/sf have it like 40-50
THANK U. BLESS
Xbox or ps
THANKS 🐐🐐🐐 DO THE POST MOVE ONE NOW PLSSS🔔
Ben live rent free in ninjas heads 🤣😂😂
Thank you for making this video...my game is dirt!
Na bro I for real got a problem with this can great video but for the love of god I can't fo a single thing in this video the only thing I can do is use my right stick to do a left hand dunk right hand duck two hand dunk and a flashy one idk where all this hop step shit comes from but I'm too brain dead to do any of it
Answer is simple you cant
Layups I put on real player percentage which explains why I kill my friend with Tony Parker 😂
I get blocked like crazy when I drive with Damian. His animation for dunking is easy to block. It's like a nerf for him being so op.
More mid range then
Remember when all you had to do was hold back the stick. New meter trash
My man's here def gotta be from dmv 🤣🤣🤣🤣
9:01 9:20 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
nice censorship at the end of the video lmao
🙏
This year's 2k is just awful when it comes to player mobility
2K23 is better
Recommend it?
Here's my take ,I've been playing 2k "religiously" since 2k11 ,more casual before that.
I played 2k21 on last gen up to a few days ago ,got a new console Friday and bought 2k21 cheap ,since I liked it on my Xbox one.
But 2k21 is absolutely horrible on new gen ,worst 2k when it comes to franchise/Myleague/myNba.
I'm playing myNba like mycareer ,a created player and having him on player lock.
My issue is that CPU team mates can't make a basket ,when simmed ,good stats ,when I'm on the court ,nothing!
I just had a 10 min qtr (My player on player lock) where the other 4 player made 3 baskets ,2 FT and a layup.
Absolutely a joke ,that's how it is every game.
Using Shady mike's sliders 12 min qtr ,never had one single issue on old gen ,this though...
I seriously hope this isn't the issue on 22?
Good video , you're always trustworthy
