NBA 2K18 Passing Tips and Strategies

In NBA 2K18. Passing is not that hard. You do not need to hold any directional key for the basic pass. By Default, X or Square key is used for passing. Simply tap the key and you will pass the ball to your nearest player. If you keep holding the X button, you will pass the ball to the farthest player from you.

If you look closely at the feet of your player. You will see a white circle facing away from the player. This is the direction where you will pass the ball to. You can change the receiver of the ball by changing the direction of this circle. You can do this by using the Left Stick and choosing a direction.

Rotate the right stick, choose a direction and simply tap or long press the default pass key to send the ball to the receiver.

NBA 2K18 has a new pass mechanic which does not require you to hold the directional keys for basic passing. If you want to just pass the ball to any nearby player, tap or long press the pass key.

Otherwise, for more specific passing, use left stick to aim and then press the pass key to pass the ball. This is pretty easy all you need is practice a bit. Once you get a hold of this new passing mechanic, you will see how easy this new passing mechanic really is.
