How to dunk?
Timing is very weird nearly impossible to dunk for me. I found no logic in it. Can somebody help me please?

it is fairly precise, but it is definitely there. I don't know how to describe it - if you release too quickly you miss and if you hold too long you miss too. Once you get it I promise you will be able to repeat

I definitely have to practise it but a bit annoying that I played 7 matches (lost all of them because of it LOL) and still can't figure out how it works. I usually hold the dunk button longer (like in other NBA games) than it should be and it's always too late. If it's not too late then it's too early there is nearly no middle path. I dunked succesfully only 2-3 times in 7 matches. Weird. This game is all about dunking and way too hard to do it.
How far from the basket should I try to dunk? How long should I hold on to RT (sprint) button?

you need to make sure you have stamina and you can dunk from the free throw line or beyond no problem. Obviously look at the dunk rating of your player. you can release the RT once you jump. sorry it is so frustrating. I promise that once you get it, you will get it!

I see! Thanks for the help I will practise it! :)
On the other hand the game is very good I'm a fan of it! I waited for a game like this a long time ago! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the good words - have fun - we will continue to monitor and support!

Hmm I realized the problem was not the timing but the lack of stamina. :D I can't dribble and dunk with the same player. Now I can dunk a lot more. :)

Thank you great support! Is there any way to edit controller settings? Ingame I can only edit keyboard settings.

I seemed to have success from letting go of the shoot button at the top of the arc of the jump.

Dunking is really easy.

Just sprint first and THEN hit X. Don't try to hit the buttons at the same time. Make sure you have stamina.

When you let go of X depends upon your character's dunking rating. You'll get a feel for that.

Thanks for help! Now I can dunk, it was my bad I dribbled a lot and I can't dunk because of the lack of stamina. :)

To be fair the game doesn't really explain you that you can't dunk if you don't have enough stamina. It took me 3-4 games before I understood how it worked too.

More tooltips about timing and technical things would be good like the one about tip-off : jump when the ball is at the top.
Is it the same thing to have a perfect dunk ?
Advices on how to block alley-oops and how to steal would be most welcome as well.
Just my opinions on what I don't quite understand how to do.
(+ you really have to indicate that we can press the BACK button to change players, took me 20mins to figure it out ^.^)
Have a good evening :steamhappy:
