Layup Style Animations in NBA 2K26
Layup shots in NBA 2K26 are a type of dunk without the force that goes into it. These are more carefully orchestrated moves that help position the ball better and give it more altitude for a safe finish.

Let us check all the different layup controls and how you can equip these in NBA 2K26.
