NBA 2K20 brings more of the realistic basketballing goodness the series is known for to the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. While you’ll be able to dribble and dunk on your opponents as much as you’d like, sometimes you’ll want to catch them on the break and run a bit faster. Here’s how to sprint and run fast around the court in NBA 2K20.
How to Sprint in NBA 2K20
| Platform | Sprinting in NBA 2K20 |
| PS4 | Hold R2 |
| Xbox One | Hold RT |
| Nintendo Switch | Hold ZR |
Cutting right to the chase here, sprinting in NBA 2K20 is the same as it always has been. Simply press and hold R2 on PS4, RT on Xbox One, or ZR on Nintendo Switch and you’ll begin running faster.
Player Stats & Sprinting in NBA 2K20
Of course, it’s worth keeping in mind that just how fast your player runs around the court completely depends on their stats. That’s because the likes of Speed, Acceleration, Lateral Quickness, Height, and the Weight of each player determines just how fast they’ll be able to sprint in NBA 2K20, just as it would in real life.
Don’t Forget About Your Stamina
Additionally, keep in mind that every player has a stamina gauge that’ll deplete the more you sprint about the court. If you continue to just hold down the buttons listed above, you’ll exhaust your player’s stamina gauge and deplete the max stamina for them when it recovers.
As such, we’d advise using your sprint sparingly so that you’ve always got a bit of juice in the tank to sprint and break on a counter and catch your opposition off-guard. You could even set yourself up for an alley oop if you’re feeling particularly showboaty.
That’s everything you need to know on how to sprint and run faster around the court in NBA 2K20. For more tips, tricks, and information on the game, be sure to check out our guide wiki.
