Hey bro I’ve been tryna reach out and let you know I found out the easiest most consistent way to activate step back jumpers and hop jumpers. Just like using the dunk meter all you haft to do is let go of turbo and flick up on the right stick and down immediately afterwards on the right stick. It will activate everytime even if ur by the rim , just act like your going for a skill dunk but don’t hold turbo … you will do a step back everytime instead of a skill dunk ! I learned so much from you and got so much better hopefully you see and try this tip out for yourself 🤞🏽💪🏽

Yeees sirr, Chef Cruz flooding the streets with the sauce!! I def gotta implement this method into my gameplay!

I honestly wouldn’t mind if step backs were solely done by tapping square or double tapping the right stick. It’d make them feel more determined, like ya I meant to do the step back. That would allow the right stick to then be for pull ups and floaters plus layups and dunks. What do you think?

So glad you made this video. I was so spotty with my step backs. Now I feel like this gonna change my game huge.

Thank you !! Being a shot creator, it’s frustrating when I want to do a stepback but end up doing something else

Coach you always right on time!! I ran into this problem a lot in the beginning

Appreciate all that you do! Definitely made my bag deeper on 2K 🔥 Got a 6’6” shot creating 3 level threat build ( honestly should be called a 2 way with the attributes I got 🤷🏾‍♂️) that I may use for the rest of 2K. Plan on going crazy with the shot creating fr

Cant wait to get off work and lab this i usually use square but if im not right in front of the 3pt line when i do this it pulls me into a long layup animation

Hey Kevin, is is just me or does this double input provide a complete new set of stepback animations? This is definitely something to build up on.

Shot creating is awesome this year. Can't wait to get that Devin Booker hop jumper in mycareer

I get a lot of the same results but I use LS directions along with RS directions so I can still hop cancel if needs be . The SWITCHBACK method is something I’m going to try and put my own flare to it. 🔥🔥🔥

Oh. That should make those Harden/Luka downhill attack stepbacks deadly

I hit a game winner with Dame on PNO using the double tap method, damn near fail proof. Excellent tip!

Same thing happens with floaters and scoops. If you’re not close enough then you’ll shot a pull up, but sometimes it randomly gives you the right animation. This is something that needs to be fixed

I have noticed that all stepbacks work when the defender is running toward the basket. Transition on the break or beating the defender off the dribble will allow you to hit all of your stepbacks. I think that should be noted in the next shot creator video.

I honestly just use square like previous years and I haven't had any issues activating stepbacks. I've probably done an accidental pull-up maybe 3 times. Not sure what 2K did tho bc clearly many people are experiencing this problem

Bro I was just in pro am and I need this to lab because I definitely kept getting pull ups to my off hand side smh

Hey Kev, great work as usual, if i could apply even 10% of what you teach id be winning more ganes...😂 Quick question.. would you say its best to always try shoot with yhe right stick or are there times where square is better ?

Another great session at the sauce factory! Thanks Kev!

Appreciate the insight you provide. What methods do y’all use to win these contract engagements because honestly I’m struggling with that this year. I’m not forcing but constantly get bumped and crowded mostly by AI defenders. This is my biggest hurdle this year. Very frustrating. Everything else is Gucci. Any help is greatly appreciated.

which visual cue do you use?

The real question is why doesnt 2k put out these moves? Why is it a secret if you want players to have more fun and you dont get any money from Hiding it

Good stuff bro I thought i was tripping 😅 when I was practicing this

Thanks! can you make a shooting video breaking down how to make shots, and shot timing.

This the first I’ve seen someone shoot with the right stick

i love using the step backs & the snatch backs going the opposite way🔥

Is it better to use the button or the right stick to shoot?

What in your opinion is the best hop jumper for contested middys

Best Channel on KZfaq 😤🏀🫵🏾

defenders dont seem to react to them on hof or is this just me? like i get contact go for stepback and they just close out immediately, am i timing it wrong or what?

hi kevin i know you dont do this but any suggestion for a shooting guard build...baka sakali lang po bro

Question. What shot timing do you use? Release Jump SetPoint?

Yo Cruz, can you make a video going more in depth into contact engagements?

Thank you

Very informative thank you Kevin!

GOATED BUT can he do a video on 2K input lag? I have 1gb plugged in plus a tpanel

The controller inputs in this game are strange, even inverted sometimes. 24 is the only game where I have so many problems with this

Shootout Cruz 🎉 and shootout skf_2004 bouta be cooking with this method

Hey if you are wanting someone with a nice side step jumper, besides Tatum, who else has those animations?? Looks like Haliburton and lebron have one, do you know all the players that have them??

What are your camera view specs, Kevin Cruz

Great tip pal

Ok I didn't knew about the double tap thing but the way I do it is....to use the right stick and then quickly moving the left stick in the same direction tion you wanna stepback into. Try it out

you can use the left stick flicking the left sick to the way you wanna step beck while holding shoot

how to practice 1 player where i find it?

Another awesome tutorial!🙏

What camera you using here bro? Looks good

Flick up on down can do it anywhere

Oh, I wrote too quickly in your other video, I just saw that they gave you the tip about "double throws". You should know that all the animations you can perform with the R2 button held down can be done with the new double throws mechanic. But it's a very bad idea on the part of the developers, they need to stop assigning 3 different controller inputs for the same animation. The worst part is that there are missing commands for certain functions (like hand-to-hand passes vs. cutting, or double team vs. help defense). I think I wrote you a comment last year about how cumbersome the controller commands are, and I also created a topic on Operation Sports but no one is reacting to this issue: the controller commands are imprecise and there are too many duplicates. I've never seen a game with such schizophrenic controls. The pro stick is responsible for many problems in the game. I think they should rethink the right stick and the square button, or at least revert to how it was before, meaning only the right stick pointing down for shot. I've started a French channel to discuss NBA2K in a very simulation-oriented way. 2K still does some great things, but their game is becoming more and more poorly finished: the controls might be the worst part, but few influencers talk about it...

Thanks for this!

Aww man I think you figured out my secret

Love the vids but this 2k’s play now is miserable, so slow and super delayed makes it super hard to score, hardly even finish a full game too because people just quit after the first quarter.

Bet, Time to hit the gym

I wish they didn’t change step back and pull up mechanics. Last year using square to shoot gave you a fade and using the right stick while holding R2 gave step backs. It was simple. There was no need to change it

Post moves on the next video

You can't cancel a square/X step back with a crossover.. right stick is better

sometimes with a step back i get a layup even tho i’m a little past the three

Bro try this to do it any time Flick it like a contact dunk up then down i tet it every time

Head chef! No doubt 🫡👨‍🍳

Do it in the rec not my career ..thats mad easy to do smh

no need to double tap. just use left stick with it

Sir gawa ka ulit nung mga plays 2k24 naman hehehe Thankyou agad!

Just R2+RS up and down (direction of stepback) quickly, you’ll get it 100%. I guarantee.

Why most of the time the ball doesn't hit the rim? Almost all of it was swishes

I’m not tripping am I ? This randomly started happening

too clean

🔥

Clutch video

Y'all keep sharing waaaay too much LMAO. I feel like when you post a video. I immediately start seeing people do it to me online LMAO. I've also been working on attacking close outs. Hopefully that's the next video.

too bad this is all too technical for the to use in the gm online.... theres no way ur doing this with 2k servers... i cant even green standing still with my own created jumpshot....

💎 💎 💎

You have great moves and great information..but your teaching methods needs work...slow down and tell us step by step..stop assuming everyone knows what you're talking about..
