Tosses the ball off the backboard to yourself for a dunk

i think self alley oop is throwing it off the backboard then dunking it...like its an all star game lol, seen an opponent abuse this in my game today

lol I wasn't even aware this could be done in any NBA 2k' game. That is something that should be reserved for the Harlem Globetrotters or maybe NBA Street

I absolutely love the control stick. Completely puts this game over the top. Such an improvement.

anyone else having a hard time grabbing rebounds? I've had occasions where the in-air collision between Perkins & Bosh pushes Bosh away from the rebound. I've also had instances where Bosh jumps for the rebound but doesn't grab anything, instead the ball lands right into Westbrook's hands ..

By the way, how do you do an alley oop on the PS3? I've tried Square + X but it just attempts to shoot the ball instead

One gripe I have already is the heavily edited soundtrack. I know 2k did what they have to do to with an E rating ,but lord as big of a Hip Hop fan I am the butchered version of Mercy nearly made my ears bleed. Gonna have to rip a CD with the unedited soundtrack to my xbox and play it when I play 2k13.

I looked at it as Miami doesn't have the size as OKC so they should be getting dominated on the boards.

Yeah I took that into account as well but there were several occasions where Perkins would literally snatch the rebound off Bosh from behind despite being boxed out

Is the online match not working for anyone else with a PS3? I keep pressing X and nothing happens other than a little laser sound effect.

Alley-oop on the Ps3 is Square + X.

On a side note, does anyone else think the new scoreboard/menu layout is horrible? Seems like a Mardi-gras/New Orleans/Harley Davidson theme. It also seems like Jay-Z cut off a chunk of his album cover "Watch the Throne" and slapped it on the layout on 2k13. Too much gold, looks too "theme-ish". It also makes the game look more arcade-like, when it should be realistic.

Although EA Basketball games suck these days, I wouldn't mind trading scoreboards with them...

What is up with Wade and Lebron's faces? Last year they got them down pretty good. Lebron looks like he has swollen lips lol Wish I have the PC version so they can be changed.

The animations are pretty fast and smooth this year. I did not feel any lag.

Alley-oop on the Ps3 is Square + X.

I tried that but it just passes the ball. Am I suppose to hold both buttons together or hold onto L2 while performing this? All I did was simply tap square then X.

Sigh, this is the one thing that annoys me every year; the controls. There is no consistency throughout the years. I remember when alley-oop was L2+O, then L2+X, now its supposedly square + x. And every year they say the controls were re-designed for the better of it .. they said the same thing about 2k12 and look how that turned out ...

I notice this.

When I box out I rarely get the board. I don't know if I'm missing timing my jump or what.

One gripe I have already is the heavily edited soundtrack.

Agreed.

Me being a hip hop head and knowing majority of the songs the heavy censors does kill me.

[The 24th Letter]

Rebounding being a jump off is due to the settings according to Mike earlier in this thread....

X + A for alley oops....haven't had issues with this whatsoever....have to make sure players are in the position to do one though...

And yeah the soundtrack is absolutely gutted...Listening to 'Mercy' is painful lol
