  • I discovered a way for you to launch directly into some of the most devastating moves in NBA 2K23 out of the triple threat! This has changed the way I set combos up in NBA 2K23, and I think this could take you to the next level!!!

    In Fighting Games they got the combos listed in the menu. 2K needs to do the same. For real, it takes too long to discover all the different quick step combos, etc.

      I absolutely agree with this, this would really help out the community a lot (and although I may lose some videos because of this - it would actually benefit me because I can just go ahead and play the game!)

      That’s one thing (among many) that 2k lacks. There’s so many “hidden” moves and mechanics of this game that would really amplify peoples games but they either refuse to learn and do it or simply don’t know they can

    Bro at first I didn’t like this 2k but I told myself to give a second chance. When I came across your tutorials on the moves and gameplay it really made me want to perfect the moves and actually got me more interested. Your timing when doing these moves and everything is exactly how it should look when playing this game 🔥. By the way you should do a controller settings and a full game video also

    I love these videos but it makes me wish that 2k rewarded people really being creative and getting their own bag as opposed to left righting until you’re caught in a stream.

      Just all default stuff. These are difficult moves, so it's okay to try and get the timing down right first with a lot of practice. It really is quick quick taps on the inputs so try to go really fast first, and then adjust your timing. Start with the basic triple threat to tween dribble, then from there work in your other right stick inputs!

      @KevinCruz016  2 года назад

      start with the triple threat tween dribble first. If you can do that, now it's about timing the second right stick input. so the timing of the right stick inputs are the same is if you were doing the moves with a live dribble. So it's quick double taps, the difficult part is usually timing the left stick input quickly after the first right stick input. So it's a fast almost overlapping input between the first right stick input, into the left stick input, and then even faster once you do the second right stick input for the combos.
      It's a difficult move to master, but once you start getting the timing down, you should be good! Give yourself time to try and learn it, and once it clicks, you won't be looking back!
