Performing a contact dunk in NBA 2K24 allows your player to attempt a powerful dunk over or through defenders, often resulting in spectacular highlights and a boost to your team's momentum. These types of dunks require precise timing and specific controller inputs.
Executing a Contact Dunk
To initiate a contact dunk, you need to perform two consecutive inputs with the right stick, holding the second input. This mechanic is consistent whether you're driving towards the basket from the top or baseline.
Here are the specific right stick inputs:
- Option 1: Flick the Right Stick straight up, release it, and then immediately flick the Right Stick straight up again and hold it in the upright position.
- Option 2: Flick the Right Stick straight down, release it, and then immediately flick the Right Stick straight down again and hold it in the down position.
| Dunk Type | Right Stick Input (Consecutive) |
|---|---|
| Contact Dunk | Flick Up, then Hold Up |
| Contact Dunk | Flick Down, then Hold Down |
Key Considerations for Successful Contact Dunks:
- Player Attributes: For your player to successfully execute contact dunks, they typically need high ratings in attributes like Driving Dunk, Vertical, and Strength.
- Badges: Specific badges, such as "Posterizer," significantly increase your player's likelihood of performing contact dunks and completing them successfully against defenders.
- Momentum & Positioning: Approaching the basket with good momentum and having favorable positioning against a defender will improve your chances of triggering a contact dunk animation.
Mastering these inputs and ensuring your player has the necessary attributes and badges will allow you to consistently unleash powerful contact dunks in NBA 2K24.
