Let’s be honest about one thing: if you’re new to NBA 2K22, you want to hit a basketball more than anything else. Knocking him down in 2K has a number of perks, including scoring easy points against opponents and some swagger along the way. If you need help crushing in NBA 2K22, we’re here to help. Let’s go through what you need to know in 2K22
To perform a dunk in NBA 2K22, press RT (Xbox) / R2 (PlayStation) while moving your player close to the basket with the left stick. From there, move and hold the top right stick and the player you are controlling will perform a two-handed dunk. There are a couple of other dunks you can perform in NBA 2K22, such as a dominant dunk or a flashy dunk. Here are those controls:
- dominant dunk (or secondary hand): press RT / R2 + move and hold the right stick in the upper left or right at close range (the direction of the right stick determines the hand of the dunk)
- aggressive dunk: press RT / R2 + move and hold the right stick while driving close range (with the left stick), release the right stick to finish the dunk
The shot meter in NBA 2K22 is brand new, but the dunk controls are essentially the same as last year. Follow the controls above and you’ll be well on your way in 2K22.
