To perform any kind of speed boost in 2k21, you need to first do a dribble move by flicking the Right Stick up, left or right<\/strong>. Next, press the Left Stick to the direction of the ball hand. Then quickly press and hold R2<\/strong> (for Playstation users) or RT<\/strong> (for Xbox users).same direction as the ball hand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLet me show step by step instructions on some of the easiest form of speed-boosting.
Basic Speed Boost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n For the lack of a better term, I call this “basic” since you’re not doing any fancy dribble moves.
Anyway, here are the instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nFlick the Right Stick Up. Regardless of where you’re dribbling the ball, this will switch the dribbling hand right to left and vice versa. Once the ball is on the opposite hand, flick the Left Stick in the same direction<\/strong> for about half a second then do step 3 right away.Quickly press and hold R2 (for Playstation users) or RT (for X Box users) while still pressing the Left Stick to the direction of the ball or forward.In and Out Speed Boost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n For this one, the concept is pretty much the same as the basic speed boost. The only difference is the animation
\nFlick the Right Stick diagonally to the direction of the ball to trigger the in and out dribble move. Use the Left Stick to the direction where the ball is. Press and hold R2 or RT while still moving the Left Stick to the direction you want to go.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nCrossover Speed Boost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n This is like an upgraded version of the basic speed boost. You do the same thing but instead of walking in the same direction of the handling ball, you will walk in the same direction from where you started.
\nFlick the Right Stick up or Right Stick left. Once the ball switch to the left, flick the Left Stick in the opposite direction. Once the ball is back to the right hand, press and hold the R2 or RT button while pressing the Left Stick rightwards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nJust reverse everything if you’re starting from the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Signature Size Up Speed Boost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n This one mainly relies on your timing and the equipped signature size animation you have.
\nTrigger the size up animation by pressing and holding the Right Stick up. Wait until the ball is in the same direction you want to go. Once you know which direction you want to go, let go of the Right Stick.Basically, you will execute your signature size up animation. Then speed boost out of it once the ball hand (left or right) is in the same direction you want to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
