    NBA 2K8 Dunk System Explained

    1. Check out my Standing Dunks Thread - http://forums.operationsports.com/vB...d.php?t=231632

    2. I only give out 4 general dunk ratings: Check this out from Last Year. Same concept applies this year.

    Originally posted by Hyperballer21
    I did some more testing and found out some more info. so here i go;

    50-60; cant dunk
    61-72; basic and power dunks (no oops)
    73+ basic, power,flashy dunks, and 360s (including oops)

    so its only 3 catergories. that is why there are so many dunks in the game. if someone is rated a 90 dunk when they can have a 74 rating to do the same dunk, of course they are going to more prone to dunk. if the layup rating is significantly higher than the dunk rating, we will see more layups regardless of the dunk tendancy rating and slider.

    But as far as the categories above, some players have signature dunk packages, so regardless of what rating you put them at, they will still do whatever dunk that is in their package (i did carter's "elbow in the rim" dunk while having his rating at 68). the players that his apply to are shaq, kobe, vc, tmac, lebron, dwade, and andre iguodala. you can still alter their ratings if you want them to dunk less. but every other player in the game follows the rules above. I hope this can be implemented into the community roster somehow.
    Just to follow up on this. I usually give players one of about 4 dunk ratings:
    65 - Serves as the "61" up there but takes into consideration that people's rating decrease during franchise mode. So this way if they DROP below the minimum; they will still be able to dunk. I give this to PG's that dunk but don't DUNK. I give Nate Robinson this because he doesn't DUNK on people. Rondo, Nate, Deron Williams, Ray Felton.
    * But for some reason I still see windmills from people on this rating. Rashard, Emeka. It really bothers me that I can't get rid of the flashy dunks, especially in traffic.

    76 - Same concept here. I put them here to allow them to catch oops. I know 73 is the minimum to allow a person to catch an oop. But with a 76 they won't drop when in franchise mode. I give this to flying PG's. Lou Williams, Monta, Dooling.

    84 - I give this to the flyers that aren't the ELITE flyers. Kobe, TMAC, Tony Allen, Mario West just to name a few.

    90+ - I just basically rank the elite dunkers with 90-99 (Haven't decided who I will give a 99 if I will give anyone a 99 since it really doesn't matter)

    3. Dunk packages; I put EVERYONE on generic (cept for goofy big men and I put them @ Duncun). Even with this; all of those players that have Signature dunks STILL do their signature dunks.


    I will answer any questions people have about this.

    Also I don't believe in editing the dunk attribute slider because doing that throws off the system and then I have to do MORE work to find the minimums and cut off points for each slider adjustment. Really not worth it.

          I know who this is man. I do recognize the screename

          I use my own roster set I am not done with. So I really don't "use" a roster because I don't really "play" the game.

          I only "test" - by watching CPU vs CPU games

                Well, it looks to me that VC that should raise their minimums. It should take at least an 80 to get the flashy/oop/360 package IMO.

                and TMAC and Kobe aren't elite????????? Hmmmm....

                  Nah TMAC and Kobe are the most overrated dunkers in the NBA right now. I don't feel they are on the same level as Gerald Green and/or Josh Smith, J Rich, Vince.

                  They are 2nd tier dunkers. It's just people's opinion on their dunks comes from the fact that they are "superstars."

                  No reason either one of those dudes should have a 99 in dunks. Something that has been bothering me for years.

                  Also keep in mind that dunk rating's #1 purpose serves as how "flashy" dunks are.

                  Why do you think VC should raise their minimums?

                  Really the whole dunk rating can be AXED if we can have a dunk in traffic rating and then have the ability to edit each and EVERY dunk in each player's package.

                  The Dunk Rating really wouldn't serve ANY purpose then

                        Re: NBA 2K8 Dunk System Explained

                        You do know that NONE of those dunks argued anything that I said.

                        A player rated a 65 in dunks can do EVERY single one of those dunks that he did. (on 2K8)

                        The issue is FLASH not dunking on people. THAT isn't what I said Kobe CAN'T do.

                        I know Kobe dunks (dunked) on people but again that isn't the issue.

                          Yeah they sould allow us to edit flashy dunks or just better adjustments, like no windmill and kind of this flashy if the player's dunk rating is under 80. Something like that.

                            AHHH, I can see where you're coming from then. You can toss LeBron in that catagory to then.

                            Howeve, Kobe DID in fact win a slam dunk contest. I know, that doesn't really mean a whole lot these days - BUT, as a producer of basketball title, it would be hard to justify not giving a player of Kobe's status an elite dunk rating.

                              a bit OT:
                              NBA Showdown (EA's 94' b-ball title) had specific, editable dunk packages for ALL players. It was scaled from 1-5, 5 being available to only a very few players, one of those being Danny Manning (WTF???)
