How to Dunk in NBA 2K21 Xbox One? The answer is simple. You need to have a MyPlayer with a high vertical.
Introduction
Dunking in NBA 2K21 has been nerfed quite a bit from last year’s game. The changes to rebounding and shooting make it more difficult to nail those highlight-reel jams. However, there are still some ways you can achieve some posterizations in the game. In this guide, we will show you how to dunk in NBA 2K21 for Xbox One.
The Best Jumpshot
Dunking in NBA 2K21 has been made significantly easier this year. There are a few things you need to do to make sure you can properly dunk the ball.
First, you need to make sure your player has the necessary attributes. For dunking, you want your player to have a high vertical jump and a high standing dunk rating. If your player does not have these attributes, you can try using one of the MyPLAYER attribute caps to raise their attributes.
Next, you need to make sure you are using the correct jump shot. The best jump shot for dunking in NBA 2K21 is the Quick Draw 2. This jump shot is quick enough that you can get off a good shot before the defense can react, and it is accurate enough that you will make a high percentage of your shots.
Finally, you need to make sure you are using the correct timing. When you are attempting a dunk, you want to release the button just as your player starts their upward motion. If you release the button too early, your player will not have enough time to reach their full height and they will not be able to properly execute the dunk. If you release the button too late, your player will not have enough time to get the ball up over their head and they will also not be able to properly execute the dunk.
The Perfect Dribble
If you want to know how to dunk in NBA 2K21 Xbox One, the perfect dribble is key. A few things that go into the perfect dribble are your player’s height, weight, and wingspan. Players like Shaquille O’Neal or Zion Williamson are going to have an easier time than say, Damian Lillard. Another thing that will affect your dunking abilities is what shoes your player is wearing. Different shoes will provide different jumping abilities.
Now that we know a few things that will affect our dunking abilities, let’s get into how to actually do it. When you are on the court and have the ball, press and hold X + A to do a pump fake. This will make your defender jump. As they are in the air, quickly press X + A again to do a dribble move. You can also double tap X to sprint and then press X + A for a bigger and better chance of getting by your defender for an easy dunk.
The Perfect Size
In order to have the best chance at dunking in 2K21, you’ll want a player who is 6’4″ or taller with a 85+ wingspan. You can find these players by looking through the draft class or create-a-player screens. There are a number of players in the game that meet this criteria, but some of the best are Zion Williamson, Anthony Edwards, and RJ Barrett.
The Perfect Angle
Looking to add a little more flair to your game in NBA 2K21? Then you may want to learn how to dunk. In this guide, we’ll talk you through everything you need to know about how to dunk in NBA 2K21 so that you can start posterizing your opponents.
One thing worth noting before we get started is that there are two different types of dunks in NBA 2K21 – slams and stuffs. Slam dunks are the more traditional type of dunk where you jump up and throw the ball down through the hoop with one hand. Stuff dunks, on the other hand, are when you take off from inside the key and dunk the ball over an opponent who is trying to block your shot.
The first thing you need to do if you want to learn how to dunk in NBA 2K21 is make sure your player has a high dunk rating. This can be seen under the ‘Inside Scoring’ attribute on their player card. If your player has a high rating here, they will have no trouble Dunking the ball.
Once you’ve ensured your player can Dunk, it’s time to take them out onto the court and put some practice in. The best way to practice Dunks is by using the MyCareer mode’s Neighbourhood feature. Once you’re in Neighbourhood, head over to the ‘Dunk Hoop’ which can be found near Crimson Court.
Once you’re at the Dunk Hoop, approach it and hold down the ‘A/X’ button on Xbox One (this will be different depending on which console you’re playing on). Doing this will cause your player to start putting up shots. The angle at which you let go of ‘A/X’ will determine how successful your dunk attempt will be so make sure you time it right!
The Perfect Timing
In order to Dunk in NBA 2K21 you will need perfect timing. When you jump off the ground you will need to time it so that your player reaches the peak of their jump at the same time the ball reaches the rim. If you time it correctly your player will reach up and slam dunk the ball into the rim.
Conclusion
The best way to dunk in NBA 2K21 is to hold down the shoot button and then flick the right joystick in the direction you want to dunk.To do a basic dunk, all you need to do is run towards the hoop and press shoot + R1/RB.
