Bank Shots Removed in NBA 2K25?

[spinoff]

Hello everyone,
Has anyone figured out how to bank shots? It seems like they removed the feature, in the year when mid-range shots are excellent, especially with the improved contest system and the return of fadeaways.

It’s still in tendencies so it’s gotta be still a shot? Right?

I think I hit a bank shot off of one of the signature moves (up on the stick). I also had a long range three bank in late on the shot clock but that is one of the random animations they have.

If you're using the shot button then your player needs to have a big "use glass" tendency to try the bank shot. I hit a lot of bank shots with KG so far, some with Pierce on the shooting button.


If you use the shot stick then you have to press the stick directly towards the basket and your player will try a bank every shot you do that way

I've already bought this up in the post up thread. It's been driving me crazy. It's been really bothering me some of the changes made. The fact that an animation starts playing out after I've pressed up on the right stick after having it as bank for years is crazy in my opinion.

not all players regularly use bank shots. It's better via tendencies rather than user input.

Ahhhh that's how it use to work. I was thinking about making a video of all the times I "mistakenly" press up on the shot stick to end up in that stupid go to shot animations. It's by far driving me insane.

Like the below happens to me about 3-4 times a game.

Should I bring Tim Duncan and Larry Bird out to show y'all?
