How to Flop in NBA 2K25
Flopping is a gameplay mechanic where you can make your character dramatically fall to the ground, faking the fall to get your opponent a foul.
In NBA 2K25, it’s exclusively available in MyCareer mode. When executed, your player will collapse on the court, even if there’s little or no contact from opponents.
Flopping in NBA 2K25 requires some setup. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Purchase the Flop Animation
- Go to Animations in the MyCareer menu
- Navigate to the Animations Store
- Find In-Game Celebrations
- Look for the flop animation under NBA Pro-AM Standing or Park Standing
- Buy the animation for 100 VC
- Equip the Flop Animation
- Go to the Gameplay Animations tab
- Equip the flop animation in both NBA Pro-AM Standing and Park Standard categories
- Execute the Flop In-Game
- Press the down directional button on your controller during gameplay
- This works on both offense and defense
Buying the Flop animation requires VC, so make sure you know how to get VC in NBA 2K25.
Why Use Flopping in NBA 2K25?
While flopping is primarily for entertainment, it can serve some strategic purposes:
- Defensive Strategy: A well-timed flop might draw a charging foul on your opponent
- Mood Lightener: Great for adding humor to casual games or matches with friends
- Personality Expression: Allows players to show off their character’s dramatic side
Another great use of flopping in NBA 2K25 is to role-play as James Harden, as he is known as the king of flop in the NBA.
However, know when to stop. Overuse of flopping might annoy other players or disrupt game flow. Unless your intention is to be a troll, then don’t abuse this mechanic.
