How do you complete a fake pass in NBA 2K24? As you start to play NBA 2K24 and sink into the new gameplay, you will quickly learn just how important it is to pass the ball. Though everyone enjoys channeling their inner Kobe Bryant by scoring buckets all over the floor, NBA 2K24 has made it much more difficult to win games through isolation play exclusively, which has opened the floor for players to embrace passing the ball in order to find the shots they’re after.

NBA 2K24 has so much to offer this year, with hit modes such as MyTEAM featuring all new changes while fans have a completely fresh set of player ratings they can put to the test as well. But no matter what mode you gravitate towards the most, you’ll likely find yourself passing the ball at some point or another. And understanding how to fake out some of your opponents when doing so can go a long way.

There’s a couple of important tips to keep in mind when faking passing. The first is that you can be driving or standing and don’t have to be in a set position to pull it off. So if you’re moving around the wing or are posted up outside the paint, you can simply press those two buttons at the same time and your player will execute a unique fake pass motion.

In addition, using your left stick while performing the fake pass will give you control for the direction you want to complete your fake pass towards. Naturally, the point of this control is to not only shift a defender out of your way by selling your pass fake towards a certain direction, but it’s also to distract any defenders that are possibly guarding a player you’re looking to pass to. And if you want to give the idea that you’re passing it to a certain area, you can direct your fake pass with your left stick when doing so.

To top it off, it’s important to keep in mind that the fake outs will come and go quickly. So if you sell it well and the defender bites, take advantage of the open window right away so you can capitalize on your pass or drive to the hoop.
