Flashy Passes in NBA 2K27 give you a stylish way to move the ball when regular passing angles aren’t ideal. They’re also great for fulfilling Flashy Assist requirements for MyCAREER and build specialization tasks. In this guide, we’ll explain how to use the new controls for flashy passing, get assists using the passes, and know when to utilize this move.
How to Make a Flashy Pass
Performing the Flashy Pass is an easy task. Just hold R1 on the PlayStation console or RB on the Xbox and use the Right Stick to aim toward the teammate you want to receive the ball. Your player will execute an impressive passing move, such as a behind-the-back pass.
The advantages of this type of pass includes the player being able to reach a teammate without turning around, as well as the ability to make difficult passes through tricky angles or to fake out defenders expecting a different pass.
Because this technique is more difficult to perform, it is recommended only for passes by great players. If you try this trick with a bad passer, you will lose the ball.
Turning Flashy Passes Into Assists
The mere act of performing a Flashy Pass will not guarantee a Flashy Assist. The recipient of the pass needs to score from it.
When in a game along with AI teammates, you can spur them to shoot right after making your pass by pressing Square on PlayStation and X on Xbox. The different techniques include pressing the button several times right after the pass is delivered for a good strategy.
This way, you will be able to do objectives related to Flashy Assists, as well as some other challenges connected to MyCAREER and its character specialization.
When to Use Flashy Passes
The Flashy Pass comes in handy when a standard pass would be hard to execute. As an illustration, if one of your teammates is standing behind the player with the ball, you can make the pass backward without risking a change of your movement.
The technique can also be useful when you want the ball to move in an unusual way. Yet, in this case, if you use players with good passing stats, you have a greater chance of completing the move in a successful manner.
