^^ True, but simply taking off from that far with any kind of finish deserves something in the 40's. I do like how the nostalgic dunks get high scores, however. How do you get the timing down on the 'Fred Jones Cockback'? It seems almost impossible.

I've gotten that one, it's al ittle diffucult though....

Yea if it was 10,000 individually different dunks then I don't know where they'd be getting the dunks from because I don't know of 10,000 dunks people can do.

Re: Live's Dunk Contest A Little....OFF?!?

permutations...with catch angle and tosses, it adds up to about 10,000 ***says so in the game***

I kind of figured that it was the basic idea that they were trying to throw out there. Multiplying the simple dunks by the tosses, throws, take offs, and stuff like that and you could put up large numbers for how many dunks are in the game. I'm very disappointed in the lack of attention to the gameplay too because I expected more from them. It's like they took something away. I don't know what, but it's lacking something that it had last year. It might just be me. Personally, I do like the gameplay of ESPN better, but the depth is still on EA. Crossovers are better but have been degraded it seems. I don't know what to expect for next year. I know the dunk contest might not be that much of an upgrade compared to what we see here. Then again, I could be wrong. I wonder how both games will "counter-attack" each other....

I think you are right...it's just you. This game is far and away better than '04.

You all need to get some friends and face off in the dunk contest, and dare people to do ****. Like assign conditions "next dunk must hit the camera" or something. Then it's fun. Heck, it's always fun, just don't think too much about the score, but what you want to do. Maybe you people just don't have the skills to pull of a 720 or off the camera followed by a 360, etc. There's so many dunks to do! But I think we do need another scoring system. And having HORSE would also be cool too!

Re: Live's Dunk Contest A Little....OFF?!?

Finally got down a way to do simple cockback. Start from the 3pt line, but off to one side about the width of the key, then throw the oop of the glass. When you jump, the ball should come off at an angle and land right in you hand. Now all I have to do is figure out how to do it off the camera, off the shot clock, off the floor, off the jumbotron...

I don't really care for the game itself, but the dunk contest is pretty hott, especially when playing with friends, since it is possible to be really creative with the dunks, and its gets really cool when you do a dunk that your buddies haven't seen before (like the Dominique Windmill, it was crazy when I did it playing against my friend 'cuz it was my last dunk and sealed up the contest for me). If the rest of this game was as good as the Dunk Contest, you'd have one heck of game. I wouldn't be surprised if 2006 is what we as basketball fans have always been waiting for.

I just did the between the legs twice dunk...I wonder if this can be done in real life.

I've seen a 360 degree, between the leg dunk before in real life.
