    Can't dunk with my rebounding athletic finisher in traffic

    I can only get up wide open dunks but I can't even dunk on guards. I just do weak layups and usually miss even though rating is in the 90s.

    Do I need the posterizer badge?

        Walk on is best and fastest grind for athletic finisher.

          In myLeague, sim to the end of the year, then switch teams (so Shammy isn't on your team). That helps a ton with cutscenes.

          Then, in games position yourself past the 3 point line elbow. Call for an inside pick, then deny the pick and go baseline. That will typically result in a contact dunk on either your defender who is riding your hip, or late help.

              I have a 6’3 guard Shot-creating Slasher with gold posterizer. The thing about posterizer is this: guards can get them easier because of higher speed, acceleration, vertical, and speed with ball.

              I also have a 7’0 rebounding athletic With gold posterizer and because of reduced ratings in mentioned categories he doesn’t catch bodies as easily, but underneath the rim his finishing is very good. Standing contact dunks will be your specialty with this build, not running. Assuming your build can achieve HOF posterizer like mine, you should have no difficulty with any contact dunks running or standing. Also, the animations you have equipped play a large role in the dunks you perform, for this reason be sure to purchase contact dunk animations ALONG with getting your badge level higher. Hope this provides clarification.

                Well the sucky part is there is only one big man contact dunk animation package available lol.

                I get great inside position most of the time and my guy still puts up layups.

                Does using the right stick to shoot as opposed to square make a difference?

                  7' pure athletic here with hof posterizer. I can tell you with all the packages equipped it doesn't mean a thing until at least gold posterizer. Even then, gold does not trigger at all the same as HOF. It's a very noticeable difference.

                    My pure glass has silver posterizer and i can easily just do the under basket animation easily unless the guy im guarding is a defender.

                      Standings are not drivings. I thought we were talking about driving dunks.

                        I'm talking about mainly standing dunks. I won't even try to make driving dunks with my lumbering 7'3 center lol

                          Then if only standings then, yes, silver is ample.

                            Well your driving dunk is maxed at 63 as opposed to your standing dunk of 93. Makes sense. I feel the pain though as I have a REB/AF myself, but it does make sense. Ive never seen DeAndre Jordan drive the lane like Westbrook does, and Westbrook will never be able to go straight up like Jordan does.

                              Speed with ball hurts at 51, but my pure athletic gets all them. I get standings frequently and drivings when they close out. I wish he played better defense. But 7' pure athletic is super fun.
