learn to play basketball. Defence isn't insane, pulling the usual 2k cheese is insanely hard because it isn't real basketball, therefor 2k19 is tough has hell for SOME to play.
Diamonds Finest The thing for me is I can usually get a feel of the defense and I have all these potential hesitations, crossovers, etc running through my head that I know will shake off my defender. The thing is I only know them in my head I dont know how to perform the exact moves I want at the time I want to because I’m unfamiliar with the dribbling side of 2k
All y'all must be new to 2k. It's been like this for the last 3 yrs. Also it's always best to put ya dribble layup stick to absolute so no matter where you are on court down is always away from basket, up is always towards basket etc. This is particularly good for sideline veiw and any other veiw than the one being shown.
Dope video! Also to whom it may concern, playing on Broadcast camera will help you see driving angles better than 2K cam. It takes some time to get used to but you’ll be able to see the floor from a different perspective, which helps sometimes.
Just wanted to let you guys know about away to get past defenders. There is a secret hesitation move that let's you stop and change direction to get past defenders. While in motion just tap LT if you're standing still it will look like a hesi but you can use it to keep the defense from riding you. It also gives you angles to attack.
Sam this lay up tutorial is dope! I watch your tutorials multiple times to understand the timing of every thing you teach and everything works to perfection. It’s seems as if you were pulling off the Sam Pham boost with Lowry off of the pick, is he capable of doing the boost? I know you said it only works on mismatches however I saw you pulling off some type of combo to explode. These lay ups are really effective this year. It seems as if 2k got rid of everything that could be spammed. Which is good, and makes for a more creative game, which You have suggested that we adapt. Which lay up do you find most effective? Seems as if the floater gives you the best chance to score, in all scenarios. Pham you killed another tutorial and you waste no time. Thank you!!!
Good eye Martin ! Yes i was doing the boost with Lowry however in an iso situation is useless for him vs Kyrie. You saw the "pham boost" worked well there b/c i added in the screen. I will need to make an update pnr tutorial to show how all that works. Is kinda complicated b/c you have to hold L2 while calling for the screen and also switching sides. I've found an op way to do it tho so keep an eye out for that one sometime next week :) Most effective layup is the cradle once you have the guy sealed to a side. like i said before defense ride animation is strong but a cradle layup going towards sideline is perfect counter to it.
I'm also curious to see what dribble and shooting packages you chose for your shot creator build. I followed the shot creator build but a tutorial on packages would be amazing. What works best for "pham boost: etc. Thanks for the prompt responses as well. I watch your tutorials with a keen eye. Lol
Hey Sam, any initial observations on help defence? From your clips I'm seeing an extra defender, aside from the centre, come over to help, leaving shooters on the perimeter. Asking because I've yet to buy the game this year. Still feeling pretty let down after last year!
It'd be easier to keep it at absolute the controls would be The same regardless of the angle. The only thing that changes is reverse layups and that's on the baseline
Yo Sam, big fan here. Was wondering, no one seems to know how to branch to floaters from euros, craddles, hop steps and spins. Any ideas? Devs said it would be available in 19.
Hey man, can you make a video of how to make a certain player the play initiator? im not talking about when ur past the back court but when the other team scores nd when the 2 guards are ready for the inbound pass, how do u make it the forward everytime? cause every once in a while the 3 will be the guy who runs the point but thats like 20% of the time. i have never seen a youtuber post a video on this topic nd on reddit all ive seen is “the only way to do it is to put the guy u want to come up for the ball as the point guard” nd ik there is another way. cause whatever lebron team ur on he will come up for the ball like 45% of the time. ive tried to adjust the freelancing settings for the specific players “touches” nd that doesnt work. ive tried to lower the point guards “touches” nd that doesnt work. ive changed the settings vitals where it says “play initiator” to “yes” nd again than the specific player only comes up 20% of the time. so somebody needs to figure this out, im finally happy that when u run a play u can use the 4 as the ball handler in floppy sets for other players cause previously it would force you to pass to the guard but i still wanna know about this topic.
How do you address layup or shot feedback a lot of the time that states late, but the meter was half or not even full when you released? It still seems 2k shot make percentages is still random without certainty. Great video!
Does anyone play with the right stick just for dribbling and do all their shooting with square? Because I need to know how to Euro and all that stuff with just using square for both shooting and dunking
This might be the best 2k i hate saying that but it has all the tools to do so bums cnt just do what they want without skill tutorials like yours will push people to the next level because u need real bball iq in this game
How do you get those animations from the teammates at 7:36 & 7:43 where the teammate in the corner yells “I’m open” or it’s a “mis-match” is that a setting you can turn on?
When i try dribble moves at half way line he keeps putting up a shot so i changed the stick to dribble moves only can you do all these lay ups without the stick
Ok I have this glitch thing where I’ll go up for a layup and I could release it super early or like just before it hits the top and it will always say late release. Not making any layups because of it coz I think the metre is broken 😂anyhelp
2k made it way harder than it has to me, you have to use a certain button to Dunk, Layup, Floater, like 2k expects one finger to be on one side of controller, & the other finger on the other side of the controller, I just think it should do a floater if it needs to like the system thinks it's nessessary, we shouldn't have to press a button to do a certain fancy move. The dribble moves double behinds the back is the same way, if u try to do the behinds the back crossover like it should be, it's zigzagging, which is stupid, just do a quick behind the back crossover. Idk, but in my opinion, 2k made it way harder for the moves this year than it needed to be. Reply with what y'all think compared to me. 🙏🏼
What direction exactly are you pushing for the cradle layup while driving baseline at 5:33? You say diagonal to the right but from this angle, does that mean up and to the left or up and up and to the right? The baseline is where I get thrown off because cradle is supposed to just be pushing it to the relative right, which in this case is the same thing you do to trigger a reverse.
Great question. If you are baseline but want to cradle then you gotta go diagonal on the side same as your hand. Since pushing it at baseline = reverse and pushing it back = floater. That is the TOUGHEST cradle to execute, will take some practice, if you really. Can’t do it then go absolute, which might hurt you on the reverses tho.
8:09 floater
Stanley Stanley u the goat lmao i’m tryna get teardrops r

This is by far the best tutorial I've come across. No obnoxious music and clear speach directly to the point. You gained a subscriber!

Walter Hubbard naw they changed up the controls a lot
Sideline view is for buckets
fr fr man
Where do u change that at bro?
Bro I can’t euro with square anymore it keeps pump faking
Thanks for these tutorials u post on TH-cam each year Dam Pham. It is truly appreciated.
Omg this is what I been waiting on thanks SamPham you’re the Man 💪💪💪
6:14 nice footwork by brown tho
Having a shot meter on the reverse lay-up makes it even more OP for me. Not sure why, but people online never expect it.
“DYEGONALLY” you the man Sam keep it up lol

Thanks bro u were a big help
If you slow down a little coming off the screen you will have open jumpers all day as the big will be dropping back to protect the paint
Great vid! This is why I watch you lol
Love these SamPham creating an Excel for all these tutorials to maximize my skill
can i get a copy of that excel lol ? Keep myself organized too sometimes i forget what tutorial i need to make next lol
How should i share it w/ you
I sent the file to your business email in your about section
Can you send it to me as well?
I use square to shoot (PS4),
Haven't changed since way back when.
Dude you deserve so many more subs
I appreciate that just visit my channel whenever you need help that’s good enough for me haha

I stopped watching as soon as i saw you say put it on camera relative
why?
Personal preference i would never change from absolute

Ohhhh I needed this so much thankyou
Absolute is the best option not camera relative. It will confuse you. Please y'all use absolute
This video is beautiful
I appreciate all of your tutorials Sam... Thanks alot!

That is true i just prefer up for reverse lol
Lol oh
Honestly the spin layup is a euro on crack, gets you open very easily
Spin layup always gets stripped by cpu
RespectThaGoat 2k, I’m talking about park and pro am
Yo Sam, big fan here. Was wondering, no one seems to know how to branch to floaters from euros, craddles, hop steps and spins. Any ideas? Devs said it would be available in 19.
To me putting the controls on absolute is easier...so even if your coming from the side of the court you can flick down n do a floater still
Wasn’t able to discern what was the determining factor on whether to do cradle or a reverse when driving baseline. Please clarify.
Great tutorial 👍

What lay up package would you use for a my player guard ? I went and head and put it in Kylie cause of the video but no sure if there is better ones.
Right on time..
Defensive tutorial needed badly I'm getter ripped apart on hall of fame.
I hate playing online my game is depressing can't shoot can't stop people from making 3s my O is stagnant they hardly ever go in motion
Good video very helpfull
How do you address layup or shot feedback a lot of the time that states late, but the meter was half or not even full when you released? It still seems 2k shot make percentages is still random without certainty. Great video!
When you shoot late the meter goes back down
Does anyone play with the right stick just for dribbling and do all their shooting with square? Because I need to know how to Euro and all that stuff with just using square for both shooting and dunking
Why not just use Absolute? It's actually easier than camera relative tbh dribbling is super easy too.
I have always done camera relative because of better angles. Absolute forces you to subconsciously want to attack from the middle more
If I have my shooting equipped to my right stick I can’t do dribble moves I just end up shooting
Came for the hop step 😥 anyone know how?
This might be the best 2k i hate saying that but it has all the tools to do so bums cnt just do what they want without skill tutorials like yours will push people to the next level because u need real bball iq in this game

The MyCareer PG that I made doesn't eurostep anymore. I use to be able to just flick right stick right. Whats's up?
Hey could you do a defensive breakdown video for 19 like you did for 18. Thanks Sam
Coming out this Thursday and Friday. Two parts
Today is the day. I’m hyped bro.
What if your pro stick function is set dribble moves
Perry P then you won’t shoot my dude
Sam if you could please make another defense tutorial like 2k18 for 2k19 that would be fantastic 💯
Next Friday or Saturday most likely. Those take sooooo long to edit lol
When i try dribble moves at half way line he keeps putting up a shot so i changed the stick to dribble moves only can you do all these lay ups without the stick

Do you need to touch scar to release the ball or the right sting
It helped
How do u do a floater wen ur pro stick is only on dribble moves‼️‼️‼️
You didn’t explain the reserve layup correctly

That is the TOUGHEST cradle to execute, will take some practice, if you really. Can’t do it then go absolute, which might hurt you on the reverses tho.
It sound like he really danced around ya question. He never said which direction he held the stick
Reverse layups don’t trigger for me when I point the stick towards the baseline on 2k cam
thanks sam
Love how you didn't include hop step thanks so much ❤
Cradle and euro would trigger version of it
What's the difference between the absolute vs. The cam
Im working on getting acrobat and relentless finisher and such. What else can i do besides the euros and hops to up my acrobat badge?
Baseline reverse
Did you rematch every time you did a new lay up because the score goes back to 0 and you’re still the same team against the same team.
This really helped me but I don’t like how he said MY Kyrie it made me uncomfortable
please jamal crawford layup package all lay ups including double behind the back, please :)
Looks like the skill gap is back in 2k this year
Oh this year definitely especially 1v1
For euro can't you just press left or right does it have to be diagonal
