I'm a person who has relied on icon passing for longer than I can remember in NBA 2K. I simply have never trusted the context-sensitive passing enough, but I think this year I finally have found the faith.
I'm sure some of you were already really good at it, or got good at analog passing etc., but this play above to me is special. The defense makes the rotations it has to in order to not give up the dunk on the diving roll man, and that means the skip pass is there.
In the past, I would have never thrown this pass without icon passing because the roll man and the man in the corner are on the same plane. Sometimes the pass would have gotten to the corner, but it was never what I felt a guarantee. Icon passing would get the ball there, but generally speaking, opening the icons takes that extra split second that ends up costing you at points.
Here, though, I simply hold down the pass button rather than tap it, and what a delight, the skip pass to the corner for the three-point splash. The hold vs. tap is a game changer.
(PS, Kyrie would tell you he ALWAYS makes that pass. Kyrie would be lying.)
