NBA 2K23 Pro Dribble Requirements – Ball Handling is crucial in NBA 2K23, especially for pro-level dribbling. Once you have unlocked the Pro Dribble, there is no turning back. But unlocking Pro Dribble and the new animation packages comes with specific requirements that you need to achieve.
The NBA series’ newest addition that is NBA 2K23 was released on September 9th, 2022, for multiple platforms, including Xbox series X/S/One, PS4/5, The Nintendo Switch, and the most-required platform that is Microsoft Windows.
It is a Simulation Sports Basketball Game developed by Visual Concepts and published by none other than 2K. This game comes under their trendy NBA 2K Franchise, and this year, it comes fully loaded with better content, graphics, and gameplay.
The most crucial thing in NBA 2K23, and especially in MyPlayer Build, is the Ball Handling Rating. These Ratings have a significant effect on the player’s attributes. These ball-handling ratings also signify the animations you can access in the game for the players.
NBA 2K23 takes ball handling to the next level by adding new features and players with a very high ball handling rating along with special Sizeup packages and animations.
So this article will guide you on the requirements for a pro dribble in NBA 2K23.
What are the requirements for a pro dribble in NBA 2K23?
In the earlier versions of the NBA basketball games, i.e. the 2k21 and 2k22, you will need to have a minimum ball handle of around 85. Upon reaching 85, you can unlock the Pro Dribble Style. Along with it, you will also get a particular size and escape animation package for the MyPlayers.
The idea remains the same for the NBA 2K23 as well. You will be able to use the Pro Dribble style once you have reached the level 70 Ball handle. You can unlock the Pro Size Ups and Escape Packages once you have a minimum of 75.
But make sure you at least reach 85, as it is the actual minimum requirement to unlock Pro dribble and the other special size-up packages for players like
- LaMelo Ball
- James Harden
- Tracy McGrady
Remember that these players require a minimum of 85 Ball Handle to unlock everything.
Other players will need more Ball Handle ratings over 85 to open the Pro Dribble and the special Animation packages. These players include Kobe Bryant, Kyrie Irving and Trae Young. The requirements for these are
- Kobe Bryant – 88+ Ball Handle and Height 6’10”
- Stephon Curry – 92+ Ball Handle and Height 6’5″
- Kyrie Irving – 90+ Ball Handle and Height 6’5″
- Kemba Walker – 86+ Ball Handle and Height 6’5″
- Trae Young – 92+ Ball Handle and Height under 6’5″
You need to keep these requirements in mind when building your players in the MyBuild mode and, most importantly, if you want to have the sweet Kobe and Stephon’s smooth pro dribble techniques and animations in NBA 2K23.
So this was all about the requirements to unlock pro dribble in NBA 2K23.
