He owes his growth to no one. Itโs all been him. Itโs just what it is.
@BeLiKeDime Exactly ๐ฏ itโs just a dribble move tied to the shot.. and it allows us to be creative. Without that, players are forced to learn peaks & quick stops if they wanna create 3s. They also implemented cancels for a reason, but no one will bite if the hop/go to shot isnโt a threat
Someone post a clip of 3 stepbacks in the same game using harden or Lukaโs ACTUAL animationsโฆ itโs almost impossible now even with legend badges and 99 3pt. That wasnโt the intended solution to the fade problem, hardly anyone uses hop jumpers but real shot creators know
shifty shooter is completely ruined from patch 2.0.. I get that fades were broken, but we're just gonna remove hop jumper 3s too?
all you will see now is set shot 3s. that will get stale real fast imo. I'm okay with a nerf to shifty, but it's a useless badge currently #NBA2K26
Okay I meant useless for 3s so itโs basically middy magician now. Which is a badge I loved, but 3s off the dribble are REAL shots too that should have a place. You see Luka and harden hit multiple stepbacks game. I agree fades arenโt as realistic, and those should be hard to time
you CAN do the signature move in 26! couldn't figure it out w the right stick, shoutout @Chef_Cruz2K putting me on the left stick pivots๐ #NBA2K26#dirk
