NBA 2K27’s Flashy Pass and Wrap Pass are advanced passing options intended to create safer or less predictable routes to teammates. They matter because they can help players evade defenders and avoid interceptions, but their effectiveness depends heavily on the ball-handler’s passing ability.

A Flashy Pass is performed by holding R1/RB and directing the right stick, and is particularly useful when a receiver is behind the player or usual passing angles are blocked. The Wrap Pass conceals the ball from defenders to reduce steal opportunities, although it travels more slowly and looks unconventional; both moves are best used by players with strong passing statistics.
