Here’s are 3 uncommon but helpful 2K25 controls that not a lot of players know about.
1. At the end of close games, you can intentionally miss free throws by quickly tapping the shot button. This will trigger a unique shot miss animation that bounces aggressively off the rim, which can increase your likelihood of grabbing your own rebound.
2. During the game if you want to conserve more time on the shot clock for half court offense, you can trigger a rolling inbound passes by pressing triangle (Y for Xbox) when there are no defenders present.
3. If you are being pressured hard during inbounds, you can tap square + X (X + A for Xbox) to trigger a jump pass to help create better passing angles.
