But it’s not a system with complete freedom.NBA 2K22is a game that’s a stickler for details. Certain moves and animations will not be available if the character doesn’t fit the right physical requirements, with one of the most important categories being contact dunks.
Updated on December 16th, 2021 by Hodey Johns:There are very few things worse than creating a player, burying a bunch of VC into the player, and then finding out they aren’t even allowed to do the moves that they created the player for. More than one player has made an alley-oop specialist only to find out about halfway through the season that they statistically can’t execute the alley-oop. Since players are turning to this guide for help, it has been updated to make the information more accessible and easy to find. Additionally, there has been some additional re-writing done to provide some additional insight into what contact dunks are and who might consider using them.

Dunks are some of the most visually exciting parts of basketball, with a gravity-defying buildup and an explosive climax. When players selectthe best dunks available, they are treated to a marvelous experience that makes the gamer feel immersed as one of the league’s explosive superstars.
All of these requirements are sent up when the gamer creates their MyPlayer. Most players that want to havean excellent dunker buildwill get these stats eventually, but it can take a while if players don’t invest their points correctly. Some players forget about their vertical score and get stuck making layups until hitting level 90+.
It might be worth investing a bit of VC to get the standing and/or driving dunk attributes to where they need to be early. Otherwise, make sure to havean excellent custom jump shotto compensate for the temporary weakness near the rim.
NBA 2K22is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
