Switch Dribble Hand (in post up) is a fake, direction change and cut off. I'll explore that in this thread. #NBA2k24 #2knodribble
Here I use it as a fake and go right into a hook. With a little practice and timing. The hook is easy. The second clip I use it twice. Cut my defender in half and have an angle. Usually results in the fallen defender animation.

In this situation I'm heavily influencing a inside drive with all the fakes there. I cut him off once he goes for a fake. Easy layup to the right. The only way he contest this is by fouling me.
These are fakes jump to one side and go for the lay while the defender tries to re center or adjust to the movement. The reason I'm missing here. I've been using remote play. The lag gets in the way of the release. I only worry about the contest %.

If you made it this far. I'll share a secret. You can also do it if you haven't used your dribble yet. I'd call this a drop switch.
Rasheed Wallace (@WizardsMj rosters Check them out) here Drop Switches and immediately has an angle on Malone. It's BBQ Chicken at that point. You're attacking the inside half of the defender.
Hop Step before he recovers... When a players like Zion or Shaq. It's game over if that defender doesn't get back into position.

Claxton jumps the wrong side. I switch and then fend off for the lay. Really cool stuff here. Anyway Good Luck down low.

After thinking about it. And watching the animation. I'd like to take back what I said about "dead animation". More like I was being lazy 😂. This animation is actually a fake. When you're that low on the block. They don't want you going out of bounds. So a Tween fake
It's basically your exit from post up into face up (I like to call dribble mode. But that's me). Holding L2 will just return you back into the post up. Which will turn into a fade if you press shoot.
So I started playing with it. You can break ankles 😂. Remind me to never practice post moves with Mutombo on the floor. He's blocked everything 😂

Anyone use this jump out animation out of the Open Pivot? Works great with a mid range shooter. Opens a lot of space to create. Just a reminder this is me letting go of L2 (to get this normal jumper). I'm 90% sure most human defenders are going to protect the paint. I'll test.
This me holding L2 throughout. You could obviously go right back into the post. But that far away from the rim it wouldn't make much sense. Unless you are trying to avoid an on coming defender.

So after opening space up. If you let go of L2. You're basically dribbling now. You can go into a bunch things. For example....
