NBA 2K25 – How to Do the Stepback
In NBA 2K25 the stepback stands out as a slick move… It’s about being smart, speeding up, and staying cool to create space for scoring shots.
Picture this; so you’re locked in a tight one-on-one with a defender, and you need to make room to take a shot. That’s where the stepback comes in handy. By stepping back once or twice you can shake off your defender putting yourself in a great spot to take that key shot.
The Basic Stepback – Keep It Simple
Here’s a simple trick: tilt the RS down and flick it up fast… this shows your opponent you’re in charge. Say, “I’ve got this!” Then, hit a smooth fadeaway to use the space you’ve created.
The Alternative Stepback – Run and Gun
Wanna spice up your play?? Give the run-and-gun stepback a shot. Charge down the court with R2/RT, ease off the sprint, and pull off a stepback. Or you could just use the left stick if you wanna keep things chill. This trick lets you keep your cool or crank up the tempo as you wish.
Post Move Mastery: Backin’ It Up
In the post spot push the Left Stick away from the net and then hit X (if you’re on xbox) or Square (on playstation). This is all about taking over the zone and showing the defender who’s boss.
Stepback Escape
To dodge defenders who are all up in your space, hold R2/RT and shove the Right Stick down then let go super quick. This cool trick throws the defenders off making them scratch their heads as they try to catch where you slipped off to.
Triple Threat Swagger: Hitting the Trio
For hitting that stylish Triple Threat Stepback, remember it’s all about that charm. Pair the “Stepback Escape” with the RS combo and you’ll see defenders tripping over themselves trying to keep up: it’s a dance routine where you leave your rivals choking on your dust scrambling to mimic your steps.
