With positioning like that, its too bad skill dunks dont work for standing dunks.

Actually to be fair, they do work in so far as they technically can be done, but good luck getting the game to recognize the command and give you the intended result. Even in the practice arena, I have only ever gotten 1 standing skill dunk to trigger after dozens of attempts. It mostly either triggers a fade away, a pump fake into a layup, or a regular non-skill dunk.

When the skill dunk was first introduced, I immediately thought about the "Post Dunk Attempt" and how I would finally have more control over whether I actually dunk the ball or I just go for a layup. The second scenario I thought about was dunking attempts immediately following a successful dropstep. Unfortunately the skill dunk either doesnt work, or is so unreliable that its equal to not working, in both of those situations.

Im just jealous of slashers who can reliably make the choice themselves on whether they are going to try to dunk or not. If skill dunks worked as reliably for standing dunks, as they do for driving dunks, it would get scary in the paint for anyone that isnt a big...

Been killing down low with Wilson. She's unstoppable.

While I never really use the post game in the modern NBA, I find myself exclusively using it in the 90s and 2000s eras

Y'all lucky as hell.

I get smothered everytime I dump the ball down low to MJ. Double team comes immediately so I don't even get a chance to set anything up apart from spins to the baseline for some classic reverse MJ jelly layups.

Gonna try out Hakeem soon. See if I can go to work with The Dream.

Do skill dunks actually allow for a dunk? I realize now they are on cg cuz slashers try sooo hard. It’s fun to know, but if u actually do it perfectly will it not whiff? Cuz I mean other than blocks, I’ve made a lot of what seems like good dunks miss by being there. I think someone got me once but I wasn’t in great position. Dunking is v overrated in 2k imo. So many lil extra shots u can do and I know unless people block me, I’m getting the make with a good release.

My worst misses always come when I try to dunk. I still got that ten years ago dunking on my mind. So I am like mashes buttons and it’s a late lay up. If I just lay it up, it’s nearly unstoppable. This year bein shaq is even better than last.

I know this will probably never happen. But man. I wish certain bigs got their real life handle. Something that worked in the mid range like this.
