Maaaan I’m so glad I keyed on this!! I’m trying to watch all these dribble post from these UA-camrs and I’ve noticed something. Dribbling might be the best it has ever been but because we trying to hang on to the past ways of how we dribble we holding ourselves back. Yes left right might be gone for the most part and every dribble post trying to fight against mechanics to bring back the old ways but my brother, you have showed me it’s time to move on and because there is better ways out there!! I thought three hunting was cooked but it’s not, we just have to do it differently!! Thanks for opening up my eyes!! I will began my new dribble journey thanks to you!!❤
Yoooooo!! This is one of the best compliments I’ve ever gotten! Thank you! And I agree, it’s time to break from the old system and really try to figure something new out!! Good luck! And thank you!!
3:15 For MyPlayers, it's important to note that the "Aggressive Combo Moves" is actually determined by the Escape Moves package you have equipped. To do the Curry slide, you need Steph's Escape Moves equipped 👍🏽
Sim Head here! Been following you since last year! You made my game better with the realistic move sets!! I only play On Ball HOF!!! Keep up the Great work!!! We need a Defensive Tutorial
This video is very helpful. I usually play lock. This year I got a slasher with 80 + ball handling. Definitely tryna get in my dribbling bag this year.
Your tutorials are amazing. I am enjoying 2K25 so much. The dribbles create a lot of space for shots and layups. Ja Morant is a beast. I got 50points with just him and his dribbles.
I'm at a point where I love being able to share this with the community, if that part happens, great! But whoever we got rocking with us is more than enough!
Great tutorial and explanation. I am not new to 2k games but admit there's a lot I need to learn. This was really helpful. Also, I am SO glad they finally updated the PC version!!!
Glued to my phone specifically for the one and true dribble God. When are we getting your builds and your dribble combos for inspiration to make our own👀👀
Great breakdown, would really appreciate if you cover shooting using right stick. The way to trigger fades and other moves using right stick seems to have changed.
In my court or online modes this is all good but timing it in the rec can be frustrating at first it is situational knowing when but great video I wish 2k explained this in their game
Thanks man! I agree, I'm having some success in Play Now Online, but the rec is tricky because of the spacing and the bigs' tendencies to sit in the paint. For that a healthy dose of pull-up middies are needed for them to pick you up higher. But also yes, latency will always be the enemy of these types of timing and skill moves!
Do you know if you can toggle or change the hop jumper ??? I hate that I have to hold the shoot button now just to do it and because I’m not used to it, it makes me stop mid combo and pump fake 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
It’s like that game was made for you bro 😅!! This year is gonna create a separation in the community that’s going to show the real shot creators from the rim running hop back players lol
Man I’m glad you are giving us the sauce and blessing us Brother thank you I need to upgrade my dribble bag and I can’t wait for more tutorials from you
@@VC-zh5vq my problem w broadcast is the dribble moves...I'm just better w the new dribble system on 2k view...its easier to time for combos but I'll get used to it
@@VC-zh5vq Yeah...I conceded and started getting acquainted with the 2k view. I still like the optics of the broadcast view better, however the 2k view is better for court visions and angular inputs
I've been playing this games for years and IDK what you mean by these dribble moves and turbo boost i try to do it but i don't feel like i'm doing anything or going anywhere, definitely not getting past anyone.....
Kev do you have any tips on what build I should start on? I like to be a shot creator but honestly torn between all heights. 6’4 6’7 or the 6’10 with KD sigs
Yes chef this is exactly what I needed the Rec won’t be ready after I get in the lab for a while. A suggestion for the longer video, maybe put in the video which of the animations the move you are going through is tied to so that mycareer players can use them like you do with the nba players, for example when going over crossover or behind the back launches let us know which animation package we need to do the moves you show us. Great video as always we’re gonna be goated with the sauce with this much content!
Bro let me tell you, I was horrible in my first 6 hours or so lmao. They really changed a lot and it's gonna take a lot of time for everyone to settle in, but once they do it's gonna be nasty out there!
Can you please make a tutorial for when you turn the right stick into “dribble moves only”? Also, can you do signature shots when you turn this setting on?
Great to hear man! Take your time with the learning bro! I always recommend absolute! It just orients you the right way. The Left Stick is always camera relative though so be aware of that!
Hey Kevin, I been watching your tutorials for a few years, but I’m kinda stumped this year. I cannot get past the cpu on HoF. I watched this tutorial twice, and I know the moves, but the defense is so good
Hi kevin, love the videos just wondering if you'll do a luka doncic tutorial video. I really find his game interesting in 2k25 and hope you could make a video highlighting that thanks bro!
You may be the best when it comes to the mechanics of the game Kev? You should post some of your gameplay, like a my career game, or play now. Upload something bro.
Yo Kev I know we’re under the impression that ProPlay doesn’t apply to legends but go do some work with Jamal Crawford and get back to me and tell me what you think. He retired in 2020 so there has to be something to this check out all his movements and animations.
This one I'll discuss in a separate video! But I'll have the complete dribble tutorial in about a week or so - but there's still so much to figure out! I just wanted to put the basic new engine mechanics so everyone can get jumpstarted!
Can you do a video on defense? I'm not sure if this is a glitch or that it needs to be patched, but I'm unable to choose any defensive options when on defense. I can call for defensive sets like full court or man to man, for example, but nothing else.
How to do a crossover combo? Learn2K -> Advanced Tutorial -> Dribbling -> Advanced -> Crossover combo. I try to do what is written on the screen - "Move the right stick to the left, then quickly back to the right and release" - but literally nothing happens.
How do you do the fake shot. I have chosen to change the right stick to dribble move. But I haven't found out yet how I make a fake shot following up by a dribble move

Good looks bro!
Great job explaining the dribble mechanics instead of spamming moves. 👏
Yessir! You know how we do it here!
Let's get the video to 1,000 likes and I'll drop a tutorial for the mid-post game to give big guards and wings another avenue to kill their defender!
Need that!!!
Needed this Kevin! Thank you. Can i pay you for a 1on1 session to teach me more in PlayStation party or zoom call?
We will do.
I still don’t understand how to speed boost. Can I pay you for lessons? Seriously!
Yeees siiir!! The Kitchen is open! You already know... If it ain't Bato Approved, find a new chef! 😤
Kitchen working overtime my brother!!
That part!!
Year for shot creators!!
🤖🤖🤖
Sim Head here! Been following you since last year! You made my game better with the realistic move sets!! I only play On Ball HOF!!! Keep up the Great work!!! We need a Defensive Tutorial
you're an actual magician those clips with KD are so beautiful
Thank you Daniel!
I noticed 2k wants us to use left stick movement for pace, then turbo when you get collision animations to blow by just like irl
Lamelo Ball’s dribble style has the momentum cross animation
I figured some of the moves 'removed' from last year were hidden in people's dribble styles!
@@KevinCruz016 yeah I’m still labbing myself. Haven’t brought one single build out yet lol
@@KevinCruz016
I’ve been waiting for you to drop a vid -thanks
What you said my boy cause I’m struggling 😭
This video is very helpful. I usually play lock. This year I got a slasher with 80 + ball handling. Definitely tryna get in my dribbling bag this year.
For non dribblers like me I'd love a starter dribble guide. Having to incorporate both the left stick and right stick is killing me.
I'm planning a pretty big dribble tutorial that will start with the basics and then move to advanced techniques. It'll make me about a week though!
Gone be ready for Friday😂, another Cruz master class🔥🔥🔥
YESSIR!!
Been playing this game for 25 years still can’t dribble for shit lol
chad gang
Thanks for all the advice! I just picked up 2k for the first time, and its really intimidating for a newcomer. These videos are super helpful!
Your tutorials are amazing. I am enjoying 2K25 so much. The dribbles create a lot of space for shots and layups. Ja Morant is a beast. I got 50points with just him and his dribbles.
The flexibility/creativity w/ LTS/RTS is precise & easy to create combinations. Your content saves lives & shows the realism to 2k!
AGAIN!!!!THIS DUDE KEVIN CRUZ IS GOATED I KNOW EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT HOW STEEZO DRIBBLES BUT @Kevin Cruz in my opinion is next level
My guy!! I appreciate you!!
Every year you come out with the most unique moves. Your dribble combos is so fluid it’s like water !
KC quickly becoming my 1st watch every day
Lets goooooo!!
Idk why but it’s like when you break this down it makes so much more sense and encourages me to practice. Appreciate your content Cruz 💯
First. Keep doing your thing K Cruz! Hope that you blow up this year 📈
I'm at a point where I love being able to share this with the community, if that part happens, great! But whoever we got rocking with us is more than enough!
Supporting my pinoy content creators! Keep up the great work fam 💪🏼
Great tutorial and explanation. I am not new to 2k games but admit there's a lot I need to learn. This was really helpful. Also, I am SO glad they finally updated the PC version!!!
Glued to my phone specifically for the one and true dribble God. When are we getting your builds and your dribble combos for inspiration to make our own👀👀
I'm looking to speed that process up! If I study enough of the builder, might be as early as this weekend!
The amount of work you give us doesn't go unnoticed bro. MUCH RESPECT 💪🏾
Aye appreciate you bro!
Isaiah Thomas regular breakdown is underrated with Darius Garland aggressive breakdown
Creates sooo much space
💎 💎 💎
Great breakdown, would really appreciate if you cover shooting using right stick. The way to trigger fades and other moves using right stick seems to have changed.
I have to improve my shot creation , seeing ur videos will help , will u do a kd build ?
In my court or online modes this is all good but timing it in the rec can be frustrating at first it is situational knowing when but great video I wish 2k explained this in their game

Man you’re incredible! Love watching your videos. Keep making more content for us and thank you !!
You’re like the sim nation Steezo. 💯
Respect, respect! I just try to lab up as well as I can!
Kevin is the goat I come to his channel every 2k new year to learn how to execute moves this guy is the goat 🔥
Man it's a good day when Kevin drops a fresh new dribble tutorial.
At 2:00 do we see the delay between his execution and the move. That’s not ok. It needs to be more responsive.
Do you know if you can toggle or change the hop jumper ??? I hate that I have to hold the shoot button now just to do it and because I’m not used to it, it makes me stop mid combo and pump fake 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Please, if anybody knows please tell me
Same problem I'm having gang it's a hate love situation with dribbling this year
It’s like that game was made for you bro 😅!! This year is gonna create a separation in the community that’s going to show the real shot creators from the rim running hop back players lol
Man I’m glad you are giving us the sauce and blessing us Brother thank you I need to upgrade my dribble bag and I can’t wait for more tutorials from you
You're welcome bro!
It’s crazy people would still rather left right. I watched a streamer dribble like this for 2 hours yesterday 😂😂
Why don't they let you practice on Broadcast view this year? I hate 2k camera. It's like they're trying to force people to use the 2k view
😂😂😂
Broadcast is the best tbh
I fought everyone for years. I was stuck on broadcast. The view is nicer, but if you want steals and assists, 2K is the most functional view.
@@VC-zh5vq my problem w broadcast is the dribble moves...I'm just better w the new dribble system on 2k view...its easier to time for combos but I'll get used to it
@@VC-zh5vq Yeah...I conceded and started getting acquainted with the 2k view. I still like the optics of the broadcast view better, however the 2k view is better for court visions and angular inputs
The best UA-cam nba 2k tutorial🔥💯🫡

Just subscribed from this video. This was simple and to the point. Good stuff.
What freelance did you use at 7:54? Or did you just call for an iso. I want that spacing
Just an iso man, but if you want similar 5 out spacing, I like using 21 delay, Bucks, or New Orleans (I think).
Cooking for a whole new year! Let's go bro!
You know it my brother!!
are you playing on camera relative or absolute when stringing these combos together ?
Thank you bro! Been waiting for this video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yessir!!
Ethical buckets 💪
Literally!
You make Jordan Poole look like an all star 😮💨🔥‼️
Professor Cruz! Can't wait for your other classes!
I see u tryna make me the greatest of all time 😂 w content

Already getting us right for the new year, lets go Chef CRUZ!
YESSIR!!! We're locked in brother!!
Great vid bro i needed that ps: what’s your camera settings
Thank you Kevin ! Keep the tutorials coming 🙏
what camera style did u use? this looks so much stable and cleaner when playing
in the lab before I pop out! locked fasho
Let's goooooooooooooo!!
Thanks for vid. I’ll try when I get home. But my players look like they’re in mud compared to yours. Am I mistiming boost?
Can you please make a tutorial for when you turn the right stick into “dribble moves only”? Also, can you do signature shots when you turn this setting on?
Love ur content man always providing amazing stuff
This man is finally getting his respect 🙏🏽❤️
I’m excited to get this going!!! Once again you knock it out the park
Are the directions of the right analog stick affected by the camera orientation?
Love the vids I can’t wait for the online H2H vids.
Is it possible to shoot go to shots with x? Or is it all pro stick ?
All pro stick, I tried with the button + LS but it's not possible unfortunately
Im new player on 2k, is better to configure the pro stick relative to the camera or absolute, thnks!
Great to hear man! Take your time with the learning bro! I always recommend absolute! It just orients you the right way. The Left Stick is always camera relative though so be aware of that!
@@KevinCruz016 thnks a lot!!!
Brother nice vid! Went back to 2k25, last 2k i played was 2k21. Trash. But this year its fantastic!
As a previous stick move dribbling guy I’m trying the new system but keep accidentally shooting while wanting to do dribble moves
are post fades and hooks nerfed this year? they feel so inconsistent compared to last
I actually think post fades were buffed this year, but I'm preparing a video on this for tomorrow so I'll look into it!
Hey Kevin, I been watching your tutorials for a few years, but I’m kinda stumped this year. I cannot get past the cpu on HoF. I watched this tutorial twice, and I know the moves, but the defense is so good
keep em coming kev
You know it brother!!
Do you use shot stick or face button for shooting?
So is it best to shoot with the shot stick or button though? That’s what I need to know! 🤔
LS dribble, MJ changes direction as he did vs Starks before posterizing Ewing at the Garden, can’t wait for LS tutorial!
Your vids are always fire
Hi kevin, love the videos just wondering if you'll do a luka doncic tutorial video. I really find his game interesting in 2k25 and hope you could make a video highlighting that thanks bro!
How u do the spin back? Been having trouble figuring it out
Great video! I appreciate the attention to detail!
THANK YOU GOD! The explosive behind the back finally back 😭🙏
Do you think its a significant difference between gold and hof lightning launch
Not gonna lie , i need a basic start up dribble vid like the basics b
Slowly getting myself there, I’ll have a big dribble tutorial for beginners!
Da sauce is da boss 🙌
What’s a dribble style you can speed boost same side? Best for small and tall pg??
You may be the best when it comes to the mechanics of the game Kev? You should post some of your gameplay, like a my career game, or play now. Upload something bro.
I need a 1 on 1 coaching.
Yo Kev I know we’re under the impression that ProPlay doesn’t apply to legends but go do some work with Jamal Crawford and get back to me and tell me what you think. He retired in 2020 so there has to be something to this check out all his movements and animations.
How do you trigger combo moves this year?
I have been trying to trigger that spin move 0:01 Also have you been able to do any misdirection moves?
This one I'll discuss in a separate video! But I'll have the complete dribble tutorial in about a week or so - but there's still so much to figure out! I just wanted to put the basic new engine mechanics so everyone can get jumpstarted!
I figured it out. Do the protect spin then hold turbo and flick down on the right stick.
Can you make a video using taller builds with ball handle? Showing speed boosting etc.
Hey Kev would u happen to know if these controls are the same for the PS4 version?
The vid that i was waiting for 🥵🔥🔥
Can you do a Post moves video?
I'm trying to do the Post Shimmy Hook & Fade but the tutorial is not very helpful.
Great job on the speed boosting this year!
Thank you bro!

Lets gooooooo! thanks Coach K!
You're welcome bro!!
I aint gonna lie that response time seems awful... @1:30. 😅 so ive gotta pre combo now?
That's always been the case? This feels pretty much like any other 2K I played? You gotta queue up commands while animations are playing out.
Do you use the right trigger at all times when dribbling
No because you activate different moves. Its got to be about precision bro!
How do you do the fake shot. I have chosen to change the right stick to dribble move. But I haven't found out yet how I make a fake shot following up by a dribble move
