All-Star David Thompson still cannot do standing dunks.

[icysuspect]

He has an 85 standing dunk rating, and a 70 standing dunk tendency, so I'm guessing he doesn't have any Under Basket dunk packages equipped. Under Basket Athletic Flushes look kinda like a few of the dunks in some of his highlight videos I watched.

From what I understand, you are not able to do a proper standing dunk with David Thompson in NBA 2K16. I am very sorry to hear that – it’s actually happened to me before so I know how you feel!

Re: All-Star David Thompson still cannot do standing dunks.

Wait, why did you contact 2k support about not being able to do a standing dunk with a player?

What did you expect them to do?

At most they could say "We'll forward it on to the developers".

That. Exactly that. Instead, it appears they merely fill in the blanks with the problem and put out the same script every time. It's infuriating.

yeah, I get the same canned responses from them as well...but I was rotflol when I read "check your connection" did they really say check server status and it may be your connection as to the reason why you can't do a standing dunk? if they did, I am just done. lol.

The bolded is an unnecessary comment but I agree with the rest of your post. I don't believe 2K support can help with ratings or gameplay mechanics...only technical support issues where the game is having issues related to playback on the PS4.

They might as well have told you "Try restarting your Playstation console."

May be missing the point but... wasn't David Thompson more of a "running-start-and-elevate" guy as opposed to being a standing dunk type of dude? I know he could rise but I don't recall seeing a lot of Thompson dunks from a standstill.

Yeah, I understand that. And like the poster above me said, the next logical thing is to say "we will forward it on to the devs." This is what any sane person with any knowledge of 2k does.

but no, they go out of their way to fill in the blanks with an issue this simple.

Historical accuracy? No idea.

It wasn't unnecessary. I actually wanted to know what he expected them to do to help him with that question at 2k support. I understand it might have came off in a jerkish tone now that I re-read it in with my cynical internet glasses on, but that wasn't my intention.

Tell him you tried deleting your game save, and returning your game to the local Gamestop, and it worked.

This doesn't even crack the top20 of how they messed up historic players. Top1 is still giving 96OVR Nash the badges and hotspots (none) of his 40yo FA version
