I noticed that during a regular or aggressive breakdown, you can hold turbo and double tap the right stick (up left or up right) to get a sprint. Also, depending on the dribble style, you can double tap the left stick for a similar sprint animation.
I think i need a few month on this 2k but this is one of the best basketball games ever. i've only just started experimenting with up and unders and doing them off the back off sppin jumpers and spin layup. People that say 2k is trash basically cheese and get bored
Left stick dribbling is so much better, than the right stick. The right stick still have little to no contextual awareness. And you dribble right into the defense. Hopefully by 2k26, this mechanic is improved. As well as the post game, being significantly overhauled as well. Great video by the way JerseyMade.
i really like it.. ppl have been complaining how 2k isn't adding anything new, then this year they add , or i guess they made rhythm shooting good, i believe they had it in the past but it wasn't as good. AND they added the left stick dribbling, which is pretty decent, i don't have an iso build, my ball handling is kind of low but i can still do some stuff now with the left stick dribbling.
This is one part of my game I need to work on. I’ve always been a spot up shooter but I want to get better and be more well rounded. Thanks for the upload. #4
Yes sir. Meant to be watched multiple times and if you see a combo you like, can easily replay that section and watch the controller(wrote this for anybody reading this)
Aye.. ngl.. this the best vid I’ve watched on 2k25 so far.. 🤷🏾 if you already is.. but you damn sure could be the goat 😂 thanks a lot, you gave me lot of homework 💪🏾👊🏾
I can’t seem to stand in place and do it but my player kind of moves a little and it seems even when I gently do it to opposite hand he kind of stutters
This games amazing . Anyone that says different is just bad at the game and mad that their 2 move spam is ineffective. The only thing they need to change about this game are the steals. Steals are ridiculously OP. It's hard to do these moves in game vs human opponents when a dude with a 49 steal is ripping you nonstop with a 96 ball handle and HOF Unpluckable. Not sure why they gave us all these great moves that you really can't do vs human opponents? 49 steal attributes spamming square and getting 4-5 steals a game. John Stockton, the greatest ball hawk of all time only averaged 2.9. Great video.
I think you’re right I think what a lot of players who have been playing for a long time seem to not like it as much I’ve been playing it for a long time but have noticed they have made the game realer in a sense and added a lot more, don’t get me wrong I’ve found it frustrating but I realise I’ve only been on this a month I won’t have mastered this game as of yet
This video was so informative. I was wondering why the dribbling with the right stick was so horrific this year. I constantly kept dribbling into the defense and I am competing against guys who have no defense whatsoever and kept plucking the ball. I have 93 ball handle with 86 ball speed.
@@Jerseymad93 I’m locked in. I just labbed the tips you mentioned but I’m struggling to get the left stick hesi consistently. Are you holding up/left to the wall or are you lightly holding up/left after the move to trigger the left stick hesi?
Hesi launch is 1. Left stick size up.2 hold LS. 3. While keeping it held move it to the opposite hand. For the hesi hangs. Left stick move and immediately gently pressing it to same hand before the ball gets there
I like dat! I'm not a dribbler, I just got 2 moves.. If I stop that u got me lol. But this year I've been going into tha lab. I've always created SF's so that's my problem.
I barley do dribble moves but I know how to do all these, this year jus gotta b calm cool and collected just let the def make a mistake then work off that bt yea left stick I notice u get good speed off it bt idk about this double click or whatever u saying bt thx for vid
Great vid Jerz! Wondering why the left stick is only moving my player and not letting me do the standing size-up that you were doing with Hali. It seems no amount of pressure on the left stick seems to work.. Think you can help me out?
Make sure passive switch hands setting is turned off in the controller setting and then try to gently move the left stick to your hand that doesn’t have the basketball. If that doesn’t work it may be a dead zone issue with your controller bro
Can you do a video on dribbling out of the post or while/after holding L2/LT I’ve been getting a lot of crosse out holding it down while driving to the rim or dribbling in the paint
I had it turned off and it will depend on what kind of left stick dribbler you want to be. Will cover this in the second dribbling video. But if you have it on you essentially can do some of these animations easier but you still have to time and start combos correctly. Hard to explain
That’s all me using the left stick. You can see the left stick move, when you master the system and have the feel down it won’t look like giant movement. I’m telling you myself that’s not passive switch hands you can do that with just the left stick. I know what settings I have on.
Jersey: you guys should really start utilizing the capabilities hidden behind left stick mechanics. The 2k community: whoa there cuz, you throwing around too many big words at me and because i dont understand them im going to take them as disrespect. Watch yo mouth.
Can you change the left hand dribble style of your my player? Like say I wanted Kyrie's or Luka's is that possible? and if so what animation controls it? I haven't been able to tell.
My stick isn’t even sensitive enough to do the dribbling whilst standing with the left stick. Also a lot of these moves are hard to understand when you can’t really see what the remote is doing so maybe make it more obvious as you do each move.
Stick sensitivity doesn’t have much to do with it unless you have severe stick drift. Moves aren’t hard to understand, told you every dribble style will have different directions you’ll need to move the left stick to unlock size ups and different animations, controller on screen has been used on my content since last year and haven’t had a complaint about its visibility for showing inputs. As I mentioned in the end of this video, it’s a big learning curve for left stick dribbling, I had to figure it out WITHOUT a tutorial, take your time to learn it or don’t use the left stick at all. Which is why I showed how to put right stick combos together at the end. 👍
@@Jerseymad93 If you are making a tutorial you shouldn’t really be saying just teach it yourself, but I do understand because of the large amount of dribble styles and complexity it is almost impossible to have moves that work the exact same for everyone. And yeah idk with the stick drift, don’t notice it at all, I think the dead zones are cooked tho even tho are fine when I play COD
I found out you can activate full size-up package if you hold down L2/LT and flick the right stick left or right he will begin the size- up automatically
Back now for a third time. For some reason when I try to gently move the left stick it either doesn’t register or he starts moving. I can not get him to standstill dribble for my life
Follow my controller overlay, I’m not moving the left stick exactly left to right. If you can not trigger it, start a Rs animation first and then move the left stick with correct timing
@@napoleuhndot also try changing the players dribble style ur using. It was hard as hell at first with garland. But with lamelo ball I was out thur looking like prime Jersey(be it in the practice facility) N once u switch back it should feel a bit more comfortable. But with the faster players I find that the window is so quick that these moves can seem impossible to preform. Stay with it until got it
I have a question hopefully someone can answer. When im using my left stick moving around the 3pt line and simply stop my player tends to do a between the legs dribble to his off hand. Anyone know why that's happening?
@Jerseymad93 Yeah, it's off. I'm not sure why it does that. Sometimes when I left stick one way and stop he goes between the legs so when I think I'm about to a certain move like a Hesi it does another move because he switched hands.
Those are signature stops. If you’re tapping turbo n quickly letting go after starting to move in a direction they’ll do a signature stop. Triggers based turbo and left stick direction
Takes a lot of practice, and you have to develop a feel for the animations. Timing and rhythm is most likely off. Try initiating left stick moves by using right stick size ups in the meantime and just focus on getting the timing down with those animations (right stick first then left stick) then slowly build on the move
I really don't understand how to left stick dribble , I tried to do it slow my player doesn't do sh... if I do it fast it moves me , bruptly it looks like I have a ceasure ... please welp
@@legendarybushido2829 shows in the video him flicking the left stick and the ball changing sides. Mine nothing happens or I start running. It's at 4:09 in the video
Disable passive switch hands setting in the controller setting and if that doesn’t help, possibly a dead zone issue. Might need a new controller or reset controller analog stick settings
Left stick animations are relative to the basket. Absolute would apply to right stick animations. I use the default settings which I believe is absolute

MUCH appreciate boss. Love the attention to detail !!!
Keep up the great work

What am I doing wrong? Tapping the left stick doesn't give me a cross.
Gently move the LS in 5 or 7 o clock position. Left to right will always give a hand switch first cross dribble been that way for years

Start a right stick move then try to use the left stick to the opposite hand. Left stick is all about timing
When I flick the left stick nothing happens in terms of dribbling. Do I need to enable any settings?
