How Can I Do More Dunks Instead of Forced Layups in NBA 2K22?

by Falagar / Game Guides, NBA 2K22 / 25 Dec 2020

If your player’s dunk game is weak, that’s probably why you’re stuck with layups. If your player’s got mad dunking skills, you can dunk instead of layup by hitting the right buttons. Also, make sure you’re timing these moves right. You can crush this by pressing the right buttons at the right time.

Here’s the full list of dunk controls for NBA 2K22. With these, you’ll be dunking like a beast instead of doing forced layups.

Two-Handed Slam: Drive in, hit R2 or RT, and push and hold the Right Stick Up.

One-Handed Jam: Press R2 or RT, move, and hold the Right Stick left or right. Which way you push decides which hand you dunk with.

Show-Off Slam: Hold R2 on PS4 and 5, or RT on Xbox One and Series X|S, and press the right stick. Use this dunk only when you’re flying solo to the hoop. Trying this near a defender is risky business – you could get blocked or totally blow the dunk…
