How to Do a Step-Back Jumper with Consistency

[itchyroll_51]

This is my take on how to do a step back jumper consistently with success. Having this as part of your arsenal is essential; 2K defense just too physical at times this is a great counter move to that.

The square button (PS3), x button (Xbox) is the hop gather button. Be sure to HOLD the left thumb stick in a certain direction or you will just hop.

The quote above still works for me on Xbox One.

Huh, I didn't know the square tap animation still work for step back. I know double tapping it would give you a spin fade away jumper this year (Dirk hits this all the time ...). I am gonna try the quote you mentioned, because the way I do it has a delay. It seems your way would be a lot smoother; would be deadly to have both type of step back in hand though. A well timed step back messes up over agressive defenders online real bad; feels great to hit that shot over someone haha Nothing feels more sim than a step back long 2 from Wade ^_^

Yeah, bojax gave me this advice a couple months back and I've been using it ever since...

my step back game is deadly, lol

bojax is the real MVP

When you're talking about what direction to press, does this make a difference if you are using absolute or camera relative for the shot stick?

I use a broadcast camera and absolute for the shot stick. Would I always just hit turbo and down?

I guess I could just test, but was curious and won't be able to play for a few days, thanks.

That's not even a stepback though lol, that's more like a dribble back. This is a stepback, https://vine.co/v/euAV9qdJiwY . And this is the game version https://vine.co/v/O3dX2FnHmuD . Your move is more like a pull up / dribble back https://vine.co/v/eBUQgx39jt3

Very inconsistent move for me unfortunately. I get a pump fake a lot of the time after the initial tap.

Just takes some practice...once you get it down, it'll really open up your game. Was messing around with it this morning...
