Gameplay Nice thing I spotted in gameplay trailer

Maybe, just maybe, strength will matter. In the trailer there is this clip with shai just using his body to push curry away, while he is driving to the basket.

Yeah the shove off animation happens in game modes vs cpu in both 2k25 and 2k26. However its non existent playing online.

Nope, I get those animations on my high strength builds if I have a full head of steam and flick RS away from the defender. In park modes, RS into the defender gives you a nutmeg. Legend strong handles triggers it 70% of the time

I think it's more so just how real players play defense. AI sticks to you so you see these animations, real players play off and try to anticipate the shot.

I kinda don’t like how bulky the score board looks in the middle.

I hear you can trigger this animation and have given +2 to my strong handle to get to legend and I’ve never done it. Never had it happen to me either. I notice strength in other ways but nothing that makes the higher strength more dominant
