There are many novices who don’t know how to pass the ball in NBA 2K23, so the editor has brought a guide to the passing skills in NBA 2K23. Friends who are interested can learn it with the editor.

There are 3 passing buttons - [A] normal pass, [B] ground pass, and [Y] lob pass.

​​Bump pass information: The hit pass is very useful for smaller players. It's much easier to pass the ball from underneath when facing a bigger defender.

When to use the ground pass: You can use the ground pass to feed the ball into the penalty area, pass to the wing, or slide the baseline to pass the ball.

​​Through pass icon: When making a pass pass, the icon will appear below the receiver.

When to use the lob pass: You can use the lob pass to feed the inside or use it as a long pass to start a fast break.

Controlling the server: When serving, press [RB] and then press the server's action button to control the server.

Positioning pass guidance: Use positioning passing to guide teammates to the desired position by pushing the [left joystick] combined with passing the ball.

Positioned pass to the teammate closest to the basket: By pressing [LB], you can position the pass to the teammate closest to the basket.

Cancel positioning pass: After calling up the pass icon, you can press [RB] again to make it disappear.

​ ​​Alley-oop passes without a cutter: If no teammate cuts or is near the basket, the ball will be passed out at will.

Alley-oop pass while serving: You can attempt an alley-oop pass while serving. Look for players cutting toward the basket.

Direct pass to the receiver under the basket: To select a teammate who cuts to the basket, long press [Y] and push the [Left Joystick] towards the player.

Player control during pass cuts: If you do not release [A] to let the ball pass back, you will gain control of the ball carrier.

​​Ground pass at the end of the game: The clock does not start while the ball is rolling on the ground, so the ground pass is very useful at the end of the game.

​​​Full Receiver Control: After changing the "Position Pass" setting to "Full Receiver Control" in "Controller Settings", long press the player icon and use the left joystick to control the receiver.

Passing type control setting: After changing the "Positioned passing" setting to "Passing type control" in "Controller Settings", double-click the player icon to hit the ground pass, and long press to perform the lob pass.

Pass Target Settings: Adjust the Pass Target Settings in Controller Settings to adjust the importance of direction, distance, and openness when selecting receivers.
