The shot is broken. The layup is covered. Two bodies are coming. Bail Out is the pass that leaves that mess. A clean kick to an open shooter is Dimer.

Current for the NBA 2K27 MyPLAYER Builder reveal.

Out of trouble, not the easy dime

Builder Badge Cost panel with Bail Out selected and its pass-out-of-trouble description.

Bail Out is a returning Playmaking badge. The official job is cleaner passes out of a shot, a layup, or a double team.

Three trouble starts, one badge:

  • You rose to shoot, then passed.
  • You gathered to finish, then passed.
  • Two defenders trapped you, then you passed.

A tight, on-time lob on a designed play is Versatile Visionary.

It does not make you faster with the ball

Sprint speed on the ball is Pace. Bail Out starts when the pass is the escape.

Is every kick-out a Bail Out?

No. If the play was never a shot, a layup, or a trap, look at Dimer or Versatile Visionary.
