2K gave us the tools to create a dynamic as close to life offense we’ve gotten. Yet the community focus is to find the cheesiest sigs and jump shots and to exploit the game.
at this point i think if you take your time to learn it the right wy you'll dominate in eery game mode. I have a lock and the only people that give me problem re pro play guy cos it's hard to predict. especially if they know their release. this Jason tatum move for example would have me having to think about 2 options every time "well he drive, spin or burst and which direction.. and if he stops in to drive is it really a drive or a got to shot and will he follow through with the shot and green or burst out of it and if he does burst then....." you get it Let those people cheese, this is more fun anyway
Bruh I say the same thing every year. It's crazy how 2k crafts these amazing games and people literally just spam the same moves over and over.. it blows my mind.. I love the endless ways you can create. It makes the game so much more fun even if i lose at the expense of trying something new
You should be one of the biggest 2k TH-camrs. You teach how to play basketball as the game was meant to be played. No spam no glitch just poetry in motion
I just love how they’ve gotten rid of ghost contests. I wouldn’t even have attempted half of these shots in prior 2Ks because regardless of how much VISUAL separation you got, you were getting a heavily contested, sped up shot animation
100 percent the most underrated change to what makes this game feel so good to play! You are rewarded for creating separation and making the right reads!
Cmon now let’s be serious I’m all for someone with a high tier deadeye badge making tough contests but for it to not even register as a contest pisses me off I’m closing out on ppl with hof challenger and it’s saying wide open when my hand is in their face I’ve literally jumped out on ppl to the point where it could’ve been a foul and they registered it as a light pressure cmon now
Naw, I’m a pro athlete and the contest in this game are BS. A guy can be standing in your air space and it will it’s an open shot. The best contest we’re in 2k23.
@@Ninety2boss exactly these dudes sound slow it’s not even the fact that the contest means nothing on the effect of the shot it’s the fact it’s not even registered as a contest why am I jumping at ppl almost bumping them in the air and it says open coverage even if they make the shot atleast say it was contested and they made a tough shot
I'm really enjoying your video in Korea. I think you're the only video that makes me understand this game properly. Thank you always for the good video.
Releasing it on PC has done absolutely insane wonders to the graphics. These are easily the best the game has ever looked and it’s not even close. People say 2014 and I honestly understand why; but even down to the physics in the jerseys, very tough.
Yeah I agree, 2K14 has the best lighting but it stops there. I spent weeks playing that game while waiting on the release of 25 and while it’s still pretty it doesn’t look better than 25 at all.
Bro yes!!! Thank you! We need more of the mid-post! Please! I’m a Melo guy! Help us please!!!! Best signs, shots! We need it bro! Please!!! This is awesome!!!
Keep doing this amazing work my guy! Give some love to Doncic and Jokic as their play style is so hard to fully replicate in 2k. But this year we have a better shot!
The next step I'd like to see from 2k when it comes to playing out of the post is being able to create seperation through contact off of hop jumpers which would bump the defender off similar to how Melo and Kobe would. But this year is still an improvement from 2k24
The game needs a bit of tweaking (ie: the substitution/rotation system), but I feel confident in saying this is one of the greatest sports games I've ever played in my life. The level of control and the level of detail for true basketball fans is on a whole other level. I seriously thought 2k23 was better than 2k11 as the greatest 2k ever just because I felt like they finally nailed the flow of a full 48 minute NBA game (aside from being able to draw fouls at the rim at a rate greater than James Harden could ever dream of). This entry of 2k is the first edition (imho) where that game flow is matched with individual player control. It has completely captured the essence of basketball in a way that I've not seen before.
If they could fix post fades in the low block specifically on the right side. It doesn't let you fade away to the opposite shoulder, the animation it gives you is not the one you input. Then again everybody hates post offense lol.
Definitely, I have a fundamentals of defense dropping first to help people understand the new systems in play. But then the on-ball stuff is coming later!
There isn't anything new really other than what I developed in this video, and a little of what I showed in the Advanced post-up tutorial. In terms of a Kobe build, I'll probably get to it after I'm done with the Chef tutorials!
Imagine seeing this video, then just finding the cheesiest behind the back sig, running left to right and shooting a 3 over and over and over again... Smh
Bro please do an SGA pro play show off. I know u done one but I felt like it was a lil short because u were trying to capture other stars. Appreciate and thanks for the uploads u doing gr8
Great video, detailed explanation. I try practicing on the post but AI just keeps double teaming, wondering if it happens to you too? If yes, Do you click on any settings to turn off double team?
How do you blow past or create space on the AI almost every time? Because i literally can’t get pass the Ai even with speed boost🤦🏾♂️. Do I attack the foot the Ai is giving me or do I cross the other way?
Your nastiest video to date Kevin, No Diddy. This was a true 1 to 1 recreation, of cover athlete but slightly overrated pretty boy Jayson Tatum's mid post game. I know the L2 canceling councilmen say that dribblong needed the most overhaul.. but in my honest opinion. On 2k current gen, the post game was completely outdated. And needed the most overhaul. For the life of me, I couldn't understand why they took the post spin off the left stick, and attached it to the right stick. With a clockwise rotation. While compunding the clunkiness of it. By making you do a face up hesi, when you release L2. What post player does a face up hesi, mid posting 2k?! But now with the remapping of dribble/post moves to the left stick. We now have ultra fluidty, and dynamism. We can recreate, with any player we like (No Diddy once again lol). That mid post stepback you hit over KP with Luka Da' Don. Last year.. you could literally only do that in your dreams. Then you'd have to wake up and apologize to virtual KP. As he's throwing that ball back down your throat (pause). Great job as always KC using your platform to educate the 2k youth and seniors. On how to get ethical buckets. And play good basketball, and not good 2k.
Not sure how that baseline shot with Tatum at the beginning of the video was open? If I would have shot that, it would have been fully contested. That was open, but the step back at the wing before that one was a yellow. Really makes no sense this year with contest.
First few days on my career i was cancelling out of jimmy butlers hop jumper and then a part way through yesterday it stopped working! They must of patched it, cos it was pretty good. You noticed any shot cancels being removed?
I was able to do this move a few times then the game wont let me do it anymore, giving me the sidestep or sizeup shot every time now lol. Diagonal inputs always been weird in 2k or maybe im just bad
Kevin, I’ve been cooking with all the tutorials you’ve been giving. Is there any way I can send you clips? I’d say you’d be very proud at some of the ways I’ve scored because of you
Wow thats nice, definitely making a 6’8 with post control and midrange after this. Do you know how to play defense on guards? Trae Young and me where just cooking each other at turns. Kind regards
Tomorrow I will upload my first draft for my build and understanding the builder! Had to get some of these tutorials out of the way but the mycareer stuff will roll out!
Can you do defense next Kevin because I don’t get everything I mean I have the basics down but it feels like I’m hella clunky on the defensive end thank you for your video bro
Ayy Killa, great vid!! Need you do a 6’6 MJ/ Kobe type build video. Interested to see how you would make it💪🏿👏🏿☝🏿⚙️ I’m struggling to make a balanced one, might go 6’4🤷🏿♂️

Jokic is going to get featured more in the main post up video! This move is more for big guards/wings that operate in the mid-post a lot. While Jokic does that in real life, his animations are more suited for traditional back to the basket moves in 25! But it's coming!

Thanks sorry about that!
I'm really enjoying your video in Korea.
I think you're the only video that makes me understand this game properly. Thank you always for the good video.
That’s dope to know that the community is diverse, wouldn’t expect 2K players to be in Korea. Salute, brother 🫡

Phenomenal!!! True 2K scientist. I'm vexed his Hop Jumper is probably Seasonal content, or locked behind rep.
It’s free for all 6’5-6’10 players. But you are correct. It is seasonal
This is gonna be soooo useful for the Tuff Buckets mode in The Theatre, especially with shot cancelling.
This man is a grinder! deserves more credit from 2k community! keep it up bro! #PH
KC is the goat man, can’t wait for more videos like these
Im just starting the game, i thank u for tutorials, ive learnt a lot. All the best from Poland :)
Much love from the Philippines! I’m starting a series of beginner tutorials that hopefully you find helpful!
Love the content nice to see someone creating shots with spam or meta moves it’s a breath of fresh air
This is great content. Indepth and easy to digest. Step by step to how to create your own combos and be a better player. Keep doing your thing

Keep doing this amazing work my guy! Give some love to Doncic and Jokic as their play style is so hard to fully replicate in 2k. But this year we have a better shot!
in the theater there was a mode 1v1 w only 3 dribbles that was really fun even with a little guard i could play might create a post build

What’s the animation name I’m looking for to put on My MyPlayer ?
Not sure if Jayson Tatum hop jumper is already available, but that would be the one I target!
If they could fix post fades in the low block specifically on the right side.
It doesn't let you fade away to the opposite shoulder, the animation it gives you is not the one you input. Then again everybody hates post offense lol.
Which postfade do you recommend?
give us some low post work next big dawg. this series is the goods!!

@@KevinCruz016 thank you bro🙏 appreciate the response and I wish you best of luck with the channel, you are revolutionising the way we play the game🔥🫶
Hi Kevin, great content. You use both the right stick and square button or shots?
Yes, I tend to mix it up based on the situation!
Blaqkobra the goat🔥youre the best kevin💪
If you want tatums animation on your myplayer is it the hop jumper or the tripple threat style? Im having trouble doing the move…
Same here
Hop jumper
Nah another banger🔥🔥, because of you I can finally chain dribble moves together
Yo Kevin Cruz can you give a kobe build and another mid/high post tutorial if theres anything new you have found?
There isn't anything new really other than what I developed in this video, and a little of what I showed in the Advanced post-up tutorial. In terms of a Kobe build, I'll probably get to it after I'm done with the Chef tutorials!
@@KevinCruz016 Sounds good, I'll be looking out for that build.🔥
@Kevin Cruz can you do this move with other players? example paul george or butler? or just with tatum?
It'll depend on your hop jumper, so far I think Luka and Kevin Huerter are pretty good. But otherwise, you'll have to experiment bro!
@@KevinCruz016 Thanks for this tip ill be trying this out
Imagine seeing this video, then just finding the cheesiest behind the back sig, running left to right and shooting a 3 over and over and over again... Smh

What are the requirements to get these midpoint animations?
For MyCareer I’m not sure, but it’s the jayson tatum hop jumper package!
