Aye for those that don't know, when your doing the meter dunks. If you press the L2 or LT when it's in the green window, you never have to let go of the right stick. Found this out and my dunk timing just skyrocket
@@sam56094 he’s saying when you’re holding the right stick for a dunk and you get the meter you don’t have to let go of the right stick on the green and instead just press the LT / L2 when you wanna release on the meter to dunk
I think stamina is an important factor too. If your stamina is under 50% (prolly because of dribbling too damn much) then you won’t really take off 100% of the time
The dunk meter actually helps a lot with that I find. In myteam at least I can force dunks with really low stamina and as long as I time them right they still go in
My first build only has an 84 driving dunk but I catch hella bodies just because of attacking the right angles with that skill dunk, 2k23 is super fun if you like dunking a lot
My day zero build is a 6’6 interior finisher with 93 dunk 76 3pt (so Giant Slayer can be viable). This actually made me much more consistent due to the meta being 6’9. With that, all I use meter dunks but if I miss a few I do stick lays and jumpers. Meter dunks make it feel more realistic for me and adds skill to pull off. Dunks from when the defender is riding the hip is my favorite time to go for a dunk. It lets you start your gather into the animation as far as the free throw line long as you got the angle towards the basket.
Also left right on the stick is a hop or euro step depending on ball hand and those are great dunks to throw off the timing of the defense this year. It's fun too.
It breaks my heart how majority of these guards don't appreciate the bigs AT ALL. The way some of these guards will completely disregard the big being wide open just to force a bad shot, then turn around and pass to the big when surrounded by 2-3 defenders in the paint because the guard decides to rim run and then realize they have nowhere to go so they decide to feed the big after bringing all the defense to the paint. I use to think it was just a few guards but then I started seeing it more and more and that's when I finally realized that this is just the mentality of the average guard. It's almost like they have no respect for the big, like they just look at you like "you're only here to get my rebound if I miss" which is sad....
@@Arch_Angel_718 facts💯i ben playin 2k years now its always ben like dat🤦🏾♂️😪i use 2 always make a 6 10 athletic finisher / pure blue every year... unless i run wit a squad bro tha random pgs NEVER i mean NEVER hit a wide open PURE SLASHER inna paint🤦🏾♂️shits krazy i be a double slasher take at tha center & tha only alleys i get is self oops🤣🤣🤣
You have to manually initiate it. Certain right stick combos bring up the dunk meter (for example, flick up quickly then hold down until it’s in the green to initiate one type of contact dunk with the meter)
the latency is real so I dont wanna do it. same with shooting. I used to be getting contact dunks without meter with down up. also strong hand doesn't work for me. no contact dunks. also my player's starting to lay the ball up more ever since I upgraded my layup to max 80. probably should've upgraded layup first then maxed out my dunk 93
I’m someone who wants to be a slasher, I just suck at timing my dunks right now, an i feel like holding the stick to the right don’t really work that good, maybe it’s just me
I remember when I first started using the pro stick and I had went up for the contact and got it greened and I was hyped and everybody on my team flopped cause I have a 2 way inside out creator and he JA Morant like.
I got that 6'9 athletic Finisher but he's at the 3 position. I messed up when I made him though. Only gave him a 92 driving dunk so I only get silver poster.
Is there an advantage or boost to using the dunk meter over the other options? It seems like everybody uses the meter even though the other dunks are easier to pull off.
I never knew you flick the right stick in two different directions to get these dunks off. I press one direction and it’s basic af. And I have lebron dunk package 😮
Bro I got matched up with some random on my team in theater and this dude just knew how to green every dunk and I swear it was a poster every time no matter who guarded him I had to record the gameplay cuz I’ve never seen no shit like it lol not even in 2k22
You know what badge they should add back, QuickDraw. But, change it so instead of release speed, it increases the speed of which you can start your shot after a catch. Or add that to catch and shoot so catch and shoot matters and I can get my shot off since I’m a spot up shooter/slasher
This is funny because the first build I made was an athletic finisher same build I've been running for the last 3 years they just changed the name last year we were a two-way facilitating finisher💪
Is you keep on step backing on dunks it’s because your left stick is to the side or the way you were running it has to be straight I literally just figured it out
Aye I preciate your videos! 🔥but I also feel like you Should if went with a 6’9 bro cause you didn’t really take advantage of the main key attributes that come with being a 6’8
This how weird 2k be - if you have a high 90+ dunk you get blocked and if you have and 80 you can’t get blocked - when you have a high 3 you can’t shoot - lower 3 you can green everything- this game is weird
Ok man please help, I love your video explanation and commentary. My build is SF 6'9 has 96 driving dunk the right dunk packages settings and I can never get the dunk meter to work so can you make a video explaining and maybe showcasing the right time to pull up with right stick then when to pull down right stick for the dunk meter to pop up each time? Also, does close shot affect the dunk? I should be dunking on most and my player seems to layup more than anything, my finishing badges are limitless takeoff gold, posterizer gold, slithery gold
damn, maybe after im done with my second build im gonna make like a 6'10 or 6'9 PF pure slasher straight savage with like 90 str and all the dunk packages and like gold or HoF first step.
I just can’t time that up down one right idk if I’m holding the up too long so it doesn’t trigger the dunk meter or I just need to take the basic two handers off my guy cause that’s what gets activated a lot when I use the stick to dunk
Do jumpshot timing effect dunk meter timing ? And why I can’t every time my dunk meter I’m always getting lates and earlys I use late Shot time release and comet what am I doing wrong
Thanks bro I was going nuts trying to do flashy dunks now I'm dunking all over my competition 👍👍👍👍 you're going to have about 50 people subscribe today my boys 💯
I dont think the RS is forgiving enough. Been practicing in the gym and can't seem to get the meter to pop up consistently despite doing UP-DOWN every time
I still can’t dunk I got a 84 driving dunk I seen da dunk meter one time nd didn’t even kno how I did it keep trying still can’t do it lol plz sumbdy help a. Brother jus got da game
I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. No matter what video I watch or what explanation I get it never ever works. It’s so frustrating. I got a 93 driving dunk and get blocked at least 4 times a game and when I take my dunk attempts they get blocked 75% of the time Half the time they turn into layups. It’s not like I’m driving unnecessarily into defenders.. it happens in a wide open lane on the fast break. I can cherry pick and stick get blocked
ok im having trouble with the slang terms and I'd appreciate some help..also i know there will be dudes making fun of me but as long as one person actually helps then its worth it
can anyone let me know if you need the shot meter on or off ? because for some reason i never get the dunk when i do the up down nor am i getting contact at all. i have them on i have the correct attributes and i still don't get a meter and i'm so lost 🤦🏽♂️

Facts, The real cheese of the game. Same concept with dribbling
My only issue with dunking is the latency with the timing
Only thing I hate bout timing the dunks bruuuh shit mad stupid
Idk because I've seen horribly times dunks still go in on rim take... so..
ngl that shit makes tha game hella frustrating my wifi ass
@@ODM. I stg bruuuh I live with hella niggas so my shit stay doo doo
Gotta try 1 or 2 times rhen addjustt
I can’t time those meter dunks AT ALL in the rec/park because of that latency. In mycareer and private court (without latency) I never miss them
Online you can't time it by looking at the meter, as soon as you see your meter come up let GO! And you will green 70% of the time
you get used to it just like shots,, i hated it too but if it gets you contact dunks then why not get the hang of it
Let me guess you’re getting lates? Just let it go slightly early even though it seems to early
@@mikehunt9884 it’s hard to practice though. You gotta miss a lot and mess up your team to learn it
My career sucks my team the best
I think stamina is an important factor too. If your stamina is under 50% (prolly because of dribbling too damn much) then you won’t really take off 100% of the time
Very true

I was a glass lock 21 n 22 and this year I decided to be a slasher and now the defensive big men are probaly the most valuable builds now
Made one with 99 block 7foot max wingspan, im averaging 3 to 5 blocks a game in park lol

You Def the goat for this needed this! Hope all is well broski!
I would make a video on how you time the dunks. When do you release it. Sounds simply but it would help a lot of people.
Problems I’ve been having lately. It’s been triggering my James harden step back instead of my contact dunk animations.
I've been lookin all this time for what exactly to do on the right stick for different dunks, and you literally have it typed out lol. You the GOAT.
So do u need strength for contact dunks, I feel like my guy never goes up with anything, I got a 90 drive dunk
I can't get the meter to EVER show up. Don't know why
Vertical definitely matters this year if u have a 99 driving dunk and a low vertical most likely you want get the full potential of your dunks
Gotta 3 & D wing 93 driving dunk with 2 finishing badges and he catch bodies like no tomorrow
the latency is real so I dont wanna do it. same with shooting.

99 driving dunk is od when u in the rec with randoms but he a 2way interior finisher with high finishing ppl underestimate layups to
I just wanna know why I always attempt lay ups instead of dunks and I never use square
have you some dunk animations equipped ?
I got 93 driving dunk and I'm posterizing without the meter. I just hate that shit i miss last year's meter
If you only capped your 3 at an 83 why did you go minimum wingspan?
Great point
Probably for the 89 strength. Shorter arm’s strength goes up
Is there an advantage or boost to using the dunk meter over the other options? It seems like everybody uses the meter even though the other dunks are easier to pull off.
The meter way gets way more contacts and if you master it almost all your dunks will go in
I never knew you flick the right stick in two different directions to get these dunks off. I press one direction and it’s basic af. And I have lebron dunk package 😮

If I don’t have a 80 vert in current gen, will I still get contacts w a 93 dunk. I’m thinking of leaving it at 73
One of the top instructors I've listened to online. ✔️
Anybody else need a putback dunk tutorial?
Hold Square/X at the apex of a shot while left stick towards hoop
96 driving dunk n make your player 6’9…… u get Gold Slithery on Tier 1, HOF Limitless Takeoff on Tier 2….. think about dat 💪🏾
Okay so even in practice I do up down shit and I still do layups like the meter doesn’t even pop up
If I have rim protector as primary take over and HOF anchor, I block everything don't matter if I'm under the rim it's rugged lol. Serious

Sometimes you need that quick drop in from a incoming defender.

even when doing down down etc I'm not getting the meter showing up
I don’t like the meter please show how to do it without the meter
Yo I ain’t played2k since you could just hold right stick down for flashy dunks and I been trying the new down the up hold and it don’t work
Need help
You need layup meter on
Thank you bro
can anyone let me know if you need the shot meter on or off ? because for some reason i never get the dunk when i do the up down nor am i getting contact at all. i have them on i have the correct attributes and i still don't get a meter and i'm so lost 🤦🏽♂️
another question why the strength so high? don't you think you could get away with like a 60 70 or 80 and give yourself better passing or defense?
How do you change your dunk meter?
Yo this build is nice as hell
