I’m glad I started watching you yt Love your channel man you’ve been showing everyone this 2k ain’t trash it’s the community nobody knows how to use pro play or it’s actually mechanics without L2 cancelling or dribble cheesing
@@KevinCruz016I haven’t been playing 2k for as long as you I started on 2k16 but just seeing the gameplay improvements over the years have been incredible I hope they continue to expand on the pro play it’s a real gem that no one really appreciates Just so you know you got a subscriber for life here man whenever I watch your videos you make me feel like a big kid hope you continue to grow because the 2k really need players like you👊🏾💯
Just to clarify, there are very FEW pro play animations in the game as they never finished implementing it into every package, crossover, stepback, etc. Dribble cheese and L2 cancelling aside, those are still things that add to 2K whether you consider it "real" basketball or not. If everyone played exactly the same with pro play or realistic moves, people will still complain that everyone is doing the same thing anyway.
Hey Kev, can you explain how you are able to dribble/move effectively without looking at your player in order to scan the court for the correct pass ? Are you constantly looking back & fourth or majority at your teammates positioning ?
The trick is to scan the floor and look at the help defense first before initiating their move. If you see them sagging off, you know they’re priming up for help. So now if you plan a move towards that direction, make sure as soon as you see them step up, you make the pass. It also takes a few possessions to get a pattern of how help defenses are playing you. So take your time to download that info and slowly show counters to their coverages. I barely look at my teammates, its the help defense that i pay attention to! But you always need to have a feel for where your teammates like to space the floor
Hey bro, love your videos and it def helped me go from hooper to consistent HoF in my rep. Do you have a discord or anything in which u run games with subscribers etc? Would def be down for games to pick up on some more tech.
Hello mate, I wanted to say that, I will need to practice to, shoot from half court, too so please may you make, a video from that Sir, if you can please Sir?
Hahaha! You barbecued me like a chicken there bro. Sakit ng kamay ko jan sa kaka chase sayo and defend, but for no avail. Keep it bro. Keep showing the ethical way of playing the game. How to be not a toxic and selfish but just showing a pure talent, skills, and humanity. Much respect, bro.
Ikaw yung Bruce ba nag switch bro? If so ggs bro, I respect that you took on the challenge! Kasi yung unang half, either ai or yung pg lang na di naman effective. Great game bro, and much respect!! Thought you played well din!
@KevinCruz016 Yes Bro. At first it was our PG but at 3rd q I said I'll try to slow you down if not to stop the bleeding. But just after a short relieved coz you passed the ball, it was your teammates getting some buckets. I was thinking, how could we win with that? You intelligently passed the right place and time. I hope I could play with you Bro in Pro Am or squad. Chenizyns told me you have played together many times. It's my great pleasure Bro if I can join you and learn from you. Thank you again Bro. Keep going!
Your perspective is a breathe of fresh air in the 2k community Kev. I wonder what your thoughts are on the cost of creating 2k builds. It’s around $100+ dollars right now to fully upgrade a build. I understand you really like this years 2k that’s why I’d like to hear your thoughts
Too expensive bro. If I didn’t make content I would probably stick to one build purchased using VC and another from purely grinding the game. That’s why I only upgrade builds until around 93-94. But now I am not making any more builds, so I’ll try to max out the builds I got. Appreciate the comment bro! Thank you!
It's pretty easy to get A build up in-game. Not even playing online. Just have to actually play the game. No need to really spend money on this game at all. 🤞🏾
I’m waiting kev Cruz I wanted to also ask could you make a video on how to make you player utilities the jordon pool animations efficiently and can you also make it viable with the chef cruz hop jumper
Hey man! The Jordan Poole animations are something I wanted to talk about for sure! We might do another lab stream to see how we can cook with those Poole combos!
I switch between the two still, they’re pretty much the same combo types! I love the tween-tween from Penny, and the front cross tween! Just usually keep it to 2-3 size up combos!
cant wait for the vid drop man, i gotta a question, are you ever gonna make a Video on A.I. aka Allen Iverson? i think hes tools gotten better from 2k23 and im just curious on how you would use hes animations and dribble animations
My goal for this season was scoring more and not passing up so many open looks. First game this season I had 19 assists and no turnovers I knew then get your buckets and keep the defense honest. Kev just keep bringing the sauce 💪💪 My play style is a blend of yours and Blaq Kobra but I have more defense 85 post 84 mid 86 3 pointer 80 layup 92 perimeter 91 steal 92 strength 😂😂😂 Most of my teammates are like your build wild 😂😂 because I get easy efficient buckets. No one expects a defensive build that can score in every facet along with being a diming sharpshooter
I had already made a goal for season 7 and working on it. My goal was to score more. I alwaya been a passer avg around 12-14 dimes a game and normally 16-18 points. Im big on letting others create also. This season im around 27 and 13. I coukd always score just chose not to and let my team do they part.
Because I’m prolly not going to make to Starter 3 to unlock the Harden hop jumper. I’ve decided to get to my final form Luka, the playmaking shot creating post. I’m ready to take the learning curve challenge on this new paced play style and learning all new animations and combos
My goal is to gain confidence in my ability to create for myself and read the defense and how they play me I can usually sit at around 8 assists but I’ve been too unconfident in my ability to score in the rec and it’s leading to being stopped in the second half very often because the opponents know what to expect
@@KevinCruz016 just upload some move of your games especially if they are a tough matchup regardless if its my league rec or just playnow ( or that other game mode thats like a trading card game for all player for all eras i dont play 2k so sorry if i dont know the gamemodes ) i love basketball but out of all of the 2k youtubes i watch in a way you channel is the closes to what basketball is training execution and just finesse. The way you play is just so parallel to what the game is supposed
I’m glad I started watching you yt Love your channel man you’ve been showing everyone this 2k ain’t trash it’s the community nobody knows how to use pro play or it’s actually mechanics without L2 cancelling or dribble cheesing
Appreciate you bro!!! This is my favorite 2K since 11, it's really incredible how they cooked with the mechanics in this game man!

That's facts. The game is cool if you learn it and want to play with your team

I’m so glad I found this channel, really teaching us that being effective and being realistic aren’t mutually exclusive in this game
That’s the goal man! Thank you for supporting!!

@@KevinCruz016I’d love another lab stream! You def should do it if you can
His aggressive size up is pretty good. The shamgod part.of.it makes guys back up or.get.them crabbed
Some nikola jokic HAHA, 😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂 he hit em with a dinker and dumper of a shot 😂😂😂
Why’d you make the switch from Westbrook to Penny size up? And do you mind doing a tutorial on Penny’s size up?
I switch between the two still, they’re pretty much the same combo types! I love the tween-tween from Penny, and the front cross tween! Just usually keep it to 2-3 size up combos!

I briefly gave him a look in 24, but let me check! I did have a detailed 23 video on him but he might be worth another look!

Kev just keep bringing the sauce 💪💪
My play style is a blend of yours and Blaq Kobra but I have more defense
85 post
84 mid
86 3 pointer
80 layup
92 perimeter
91 steal
92 strength 😂😂😂
Most of my teammates are like your build wild 😂😂 because I get easy efficient buckets. No one expects a defensive build that can score in every facet along with being a diming sharpshooter
Lets goooo!! I like it man! People underrate the value of setting goals for yourself, it really opens up how you view the game.
Love the build man!
Hey Kev, Can you please share what camera settings you use and what shot release cue
Try that Jamel Crawford layup package I wanna see how crafty you can get with it plz
This and the Poole layup package (or are they the same now?) are the layups I want to to experiment with for sure!
I had already made a goal for season 7 and working on it. My goal was to score more. I alwaya been a passer avg around 12-14 dimes a game and normally 16-18 points. Im big on letting others create also. This season im around 27 and 13. I coukd always score just chose not to and let my team do they part.
Lets go man!! Keep me posted on your progress! And if there’s anything you need help with let me know! 💪💪
That’s my goal I pass too much
First game this season 19 assists and no turnovers
HIM!
Appreciate you my guy!! Hopefully the tips from the stream and recent videos have helped!!
@@KevinCruz016 I been cooking man. Seriously.
I wish you would come play our league where you have to play realistic basketball. It’s a lot of fun.
Man, right now between time commitments, work, and the difference in regions, it is tough!
@@KevinCruz016 moving forward I will keep in touch. I could send the rules sometime I’m sure you would love it. Your style of play fits in perfect.
cha cha cha que rico cha cha cha!
Muchas gracias amigo!
Yo…..KC….i need ur camera angle for REC and MyCareer….
I never get dat shii why u wanna see next man?
2K low, 4 zoom and 8 height!
@@KevinCruz016 …my man…good looking out…keep grinding.
Because I’m prolly not going to make to Starter 3 to unlock the Harden hop jumper. I’ve decided to get to my final form Luka, the playmaking shot creating post.
I’m ready to take the learning curve challenge on this new paced play style and learning all new animations and combos
This is the way to go man! It’s so easy to fall into your comfort zone, but expanding your game really gonna open up your improvement!
My goal is to gain confidence in my ability to create for myself and read the defense and how they play me
I can usually sit at around 8 assists but I’ve been too unconfident in my ability to score in the rec and it’s leading to being stopped in the second half very often because the opponents know what to expect
I like it man, these things take time and are a process! Let me know how it goes for the rest of the season!
Man why are the randoms so bad this season? Went from MVP to baller in 16 games from these salesmen.
Its been the wildest swing in teammates man. One game you got some decent ones, the next you’re being thumped because your teammates are so bad lol
who is ron bato?
Love you videos! Watch them all day! I’m a sim guy!
I appreciate you bro!! I got a real good one lined up!!!
