I think the bounce pass has it beat . Man I’ve gotten so many highlights with it. Players seem to catch it in rhythm better too. At least Pro-Am wise .

Anybody use the lob pass often ?

Throw a pass to the teammate who's closest to the basket.

My favorite pass is the touch pass. And give and go on the fast break. Drives me crazy people don't know how to run a fast break properly.

Agree, R1 L1 is the biggest secret.

My favorite are the one where the ball doesn't get dribbled.

So props to 2K for this and hope they keep this up in 2K19; I really can't find anything I can complain on when it comes to passing customization and creativity of controls in 2K passing.

No suggestion for the driving pass? when you are already in the air for the lay up and somebody will block you and your team-mate is on the baseline free?? you know any good pass, smooth pass for that?? that will go directly to that player and not go out of bounds or pass it to someone on the 3 point line. coz sometimes this animation got clog up and look bad. or sometimes the pass become slower for the cpu to block or tap the ball from the team mate that you pass the ball trough.

Jump pass can work only if you are throwing the ball to someone in front of you (e.g. a bigman under the basket) or very close to you, otherwise it's almost always a turnover or a very clumsy catch that will allow the defence to recover anyway.

To me directional passing is still too unreliable to be used consistently, and icon passing is the only way to go if you are a playmaker/point forward.


Hence no bounce or lob passes for me, but only regular passes or flashy passes using the modified right stick.

so there is no good button to press to achieve a better result with this situation?? coz i find to be in this scenario a lot and it did get turnover a lot becoz of what you just mentioned. so you think2k need to update/make better animation for this scenario. weird that nobody catch this.

You can also attempt a flashy pass out of your shot. I personally don't use the flashy pass much. I hear using a flashy pads out of a Driving layup or dunk attempt can work well.
