2k dunking/layup controls input

This is why online play in these games is a dunk fest, the risk reward like you talked about, its best to just go for dunks because the layups were never worth it most the time, iv seen bigs like KG and Shaq in 2k17 get blocked by 6 ft guards , it needs to be altered so that more layups are attempted, and its not like were watching some dunk contest.

I'm not saying I do it. I like doing layups as most the time when driving. It's just something I notice. it's just something most people online do.

Just let turbo do right before you press the shot button.

I would rather have a separate modifier for dunks. I should be able to do a layup at full speed instead of triggering a dunk.

That's one of my least favorite things about playing with PGs; I would pretty much never want to dunk with Kyrie even though he can, for instance, but I need to let o off the sprint in order to not try to dunk.

One of the things I liked from games in the past was just mapping layup and dunk to two separate buttons. O for shoot,  to dunk. Wish it could be as easy as that nowadays.

I see what your saying about a forceful drive, but the control manuals say it's a dunk. so I feel it should attempt it. not saying your wrong for your thoughts, or the way you interpret it, just my opinion 2k should let the onus be on the user, I think it could increase the skill gap. But maybe they don't, because casuals. it's not a game killer by any means, just something I've always wondered. also sometimes I don't want to get a layup I want to attempt a dunk regardless if I miss I want to try to kill someone if I try to

For sure, its def not "hard" but we all know you're risking your FG% if you release turbo when you beat a guy lol.

And I know how you USER guys are about 2K deciding what you do.

Its just that IMO dunks in the wrong situations should yield bad results. I'd love to see more charges, missed dunks and losing the ball when the wrong guys try to power through the defense or people try dunking in the wrong instances.

This.

This is why Magic Johnson is so great in PNO and MyTeam, because he NEVER DUNKS. Layup animations at full speed (i.e. when you're pressing turbo and doing the layup) are faster and more shot blocker avoidant. Dunks are always slow and have your players cocking the ball in whatever direction you aim with using the stick. You can have no defenders in position to block if you use your right hand, but when you do a right handed dunk your guy will obnoxiously stick the ball as far out back as he can with his right hand to get himself blocked.
