NBA 2k25 Best Motion Styles
NBA 2K25 Best Motion Styles
Not all motion styles are created equal. It is possible you are using a slow motion style that is making your player move up to 20% slower. This applies to your ability to start and stop, your top running speed and more.
We have written an automated script to measure the speed of each motion style. We are taking 4 different measurements for each Motion Style and we do them both with and without Turbo. For these tests we used 86 Speed and Agility for the Guards and Wings and used 75 Speed and Agility for the Bigs.
We are collecting data for both Sprinting (holding turbo) and Jogging (non-turbo). There are situations where both sprinting and jogging are appropriate, such as playerrs maintaining adrenaline boosts, so we wanted to give a complete representation of each style in multiple situations.
Our script collects 10 samples for each style then takes all 8 measurements. Our table can be toggled to display both Average and Median values for the data.
If a motion style can be applied to multiple position, we retested it at each position and included all the data in the table. You can see the same motion style that works for bigs does not necessarily work for wings by doing a direct comparison of the same motion style at each position and viewing the difference.
How do we test Motion Styles?
We record video footage of a MyPlayer with each motion style equipped. We then take standard measurements on how long it takes the player to complete certain tasks in the video.
One of the most important metrics when it comes to a Motion Style is your top running speed. Our automated testing collects the Motion Styles top running Speed both while Holding Sprint and without Sprint.
The next metric to pay attention to for valuing motion styles is the styles Launch Speed. A bad motion style can have you feeling like you are running in sand. Our test measures both the Motion Styles Turbo and Non Turbo launch. A quick takeoff is one of the most important aspects of creating open 3s off the dribble.
For metric number 3 we measure the time it takes for each motions style to get up to top speed. Some motion styles can take longer than others to accelerate, especially compared to non turbo, which can make a huge difference in your ability to stay in front of a quick ball handler.
Finally, we measure the amount of time it takes each style to run the full width of the court.
