Love this! Thank you for putting in the time and making this. I been doing a lot of“shotcreator” shots in 24. Adding this post game to it is 💯🔥🔥🔥

Man you’ve been killing it with the 2k content. Post moves are really an underrated part of the game. This 2k is really good I’m really enjoying it and watching your videos is awesome 🔥

What I respect about your videos is how you implement real life fundamentals (ex:facing up into a triple threat)

Just started my 6’10 Jokic Type Build , this will definitely help with the post work . LOVE THE DETAIL YOU GIVE BRO!

perfect timing. best breakdowns on youtube. keep it going my dude.

This video has helped me a TON. Made a KD build a few weeks ago w/ 90 middy and 85 post control and it’s straight cheese. Thank you sir 🙏🏾

@@KevinCruz016 I am pretty sure we all started from NBA Live then for me I discover NBA 2K on its 2K9, imagine from NBA 2K9 to 2K24. Thats how long I waited to do Kobes pump fakes, Up n unders and of course the unblockable fadeaways. NBA 2K24 and the first ever video and I am glad it came from a Filipino content ♥️. Kevs you are my guy, and the GOAT of tutorials bruh. You deserve more subscribers. Bitin tau kay Tutes pero may Kevz kami! Keep it goin tol. Actually thanks to Pro-Play, more enhance and more responsive on my Xbox now not like on 2K23. I just hope their next step is Bad boys + Pistons defense mechanics and life defying acrobats correct animations. Honestly a lot of movements nor signatures are present na sa 2K23 kaya d na me masyado bukilib sa Proplay kasi d naman tau tulad ng mga puti na nabubuhay sa cheesy left right. I prefer correct animations, fluidity sa future serisles.. Sa guide mo we will know how to execute!

The post feels sooo much smoother to play now thanks so much. And all I’ve figured out so far is the post spin/ fake. All I could do before was dropsteps,hooks and fades but very robotically. This will add the movement I need for convincing fakes. Thanks

This is exactly what I needed for my first inside the arch threat build. I wanna see you play Blaq Kobra. Thank you 🔥

The one thing i wish i knew how to consistently do are the pump fakes where they stick their arms out different directions. They're great but so jank and i almost never get them to work the way i want. I usually do a drop step but flick the stick the opposite direction for a pump fake but it's a 50/50 on if the arms get extended or not.

Hey man! Being a beginner in this game is tough, but don't be too hard on yourself, the post game is the most difficult aspect of 2K - especially with how close the defense is to you. I wouldn't try some of the more advanced combos yet until you nail the beginner moves. I'd focus on doing the following: 1. Understand how strength, and speed work to your favor in a post up situation. Moves I'd start mastering: - Aggressive backdown (Holding L2 + R2 + Left stick towards the basket) and if you get a bump that generates space, go into a hook shot or fadeaway. - if you're a faster post player, shimmy to any of your shoulders, then rotate the RS and spin the opposite direction to counter while holding the LS towards the direction of your launch. If you're successful and don't get bumped, finish. - Post drive (L2 + R2 + LS towards the basket) then immediately post fade Start with those basic moves and then build your skillset from there. Slowly expand your post game. This move is a comprehensive list of ALL the post moves in the game, and while it may be fun to do everything, and learn everything all at once, the right way to learn is start with the basic moves and expand from there. You can do it man! This took me YEARS of getting real good, I don't expect beginners to learn everything so quickly, but this gives you a framework of how to get better!

I swear I’m doing exactly what you’re doing in the video and it doesn’t do it. I feel like I wasted so much money on this game they made it so hard to score with the green or miss. I’m sorry I know I’m just a casual player whining but I can’t figure any of this out. It seems like the shot stick has a mind of its own and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Thanks for trying but I’m beyond saving.

Thank you so much, bro.

How do you get into the post up pivot position (your player doesn’t dribble the ball)?

I'm assuming that you need that triple threat badge for a big man to get faster animations and the triple threat cuz Joel embiid is hella fast but I never looked at his badges

Do you need ball handling to do these moves or is that with in control?

@@jeebs9 lol thanks “Kevin” 🤔; And I have tried it but I keep getting a first step trying to do the move in MYCAREER .

@Kevin Cruz do you know how to get the cpu to post up low like at the edge of the paint? The problem is that whenever I play the CPU and a player has a high fade away tendency they attempt to fadeaways from way too far out almost near the three-point line every time. They never post up near the paint. I checked to make sure the play type was post up low so I don't know what else I can do

Any help on why my player won’t do the 1:1 post movement, instead he just dribbles and moves in that direction?

For anyone having a hard time with the shimmy fade shot like me when on post double tap square and hold left stick down however you have to shoot with square I’ve tried to shoot with pro stick and it doesn’t let me nonetheless it’s almost 90% chance you’ll get a shimmy fade I spent two hours on 2ku 😭

double-fake stepback combo to single foot pivot spin that will push defender to triple leg swing push from the secret animation cancel fade shimmy hook from spin to counter spin granade launher . simple stuff here. (c) Kevin Cruz

For some reason my player will only pivot when I use the right analog stick instead of the left. May this have something to do with my controller settings?

Why did fearless finisher pop up for the jump shot 3:01? Is it helping in any way in this move?

What do you do for the unbelievable lag in online? There was less lag in 2K1 almost 25 years ago.

Are the dribble moves on absolute

14:05 I can't pull off the Post Shimmy Hook. Even though i follow the instruction. But when I quickly push the RS to right, then push and hold top left. It activates the shimmy move and hook. When i post with Zion on right side of 2k or MyPlayer cam view. But it does not accept it. It shimmys if i quickly push RS to right then hold up left. When i do it on the right side of screen on 2k or MyPlayer cam view. 2k has Zion for this tutorial. How do you do it?
