How to Sprint & Run Fast Around the Court in NBA 2K19

Recommended Videos

Basketball is a fast-paced game, and that doesn’t change just because you’re playing NBA 2K19. You’ll need to catch your opposition on a quick counter-attack, sprint back to defend your own basket, and generally never stop running around. As such, you’re probably wondering how to sprint and run faster around the court in NBA 2K19, compared to the default movement speed that comes from simply moving the left analog stick.

In order to sprint and run fast around the court, you’ll be pleased to know that things haven’t changed from past entries in the series. You’ll still need to press and hold down R2 on PS4 or RT on Xbox One.

It’s worth noting, however, that if you’re finding your player just simply isn’t running as fast around the court in the game as you’d hoped, it could just be that your player’s stats don’t really lend them to being a quick and agile player. For example, speed, acceleration, lateral quickness, height, and weight all play a part in factoring just how fast your player can sprint in NBA 2K19.

You’ll also need to keep in mind that no player in NBA 2K19 can just sprint forever, just like in real life. Each player has a stamina meter that, when completely exhausted, will lower your max stamina slightly. As such, it’s a good idea to conserve your stamina in NBA 2K19 so that you’ve got the energy to run and break on a quick counter-attack as and when the opportunity arises. After all, you don’t want to be strolling towards the basket when your opposition is left wide open at the back.

That’s all you need to know to sprint and run faster in NBA 2K19. For more tips, tricks, and information on the game, be sure to search for Twinfinite.
