Dunk putbacks, tip-dunks, tip slamming, rebound dunks, etc.

I know this has been discussed before. I just want to poll NLSC to see how many people have actually done a dunk putback with a human controlled player in a 5-on-5 game.

For those who do not know what I'm talking about. This is when your player grabs an offensive rebound and dunks all in one animation.

I've achieved this numerous times in 1-on-1 mode, maybe once or twice in practise mode (unsure however), but I've never been able to do it with a human controlled player in a 5-on-5 game.

I feel that EA has made a great game here. They just need to get there head together and fix this bug that has plagued the series ever since NBA Live 99.

Thanks!

yup done it alot and yes, it's all about timing...

The reason it is so much easire to do in 1 on 1 is becasue there is nobody to box you out so you have a clear path In 5 on 5 try giving it to a man on the baseline and havng him draw a double, then move out slowly towards the bench, then take a shot and if you miss and the open guy is near the basket he will try get a chance to slam it.

Timiing.....yup timing

It would be pretty unrealistic just being able to do put-backs with ease all the time whenever you want in a 5 on 5, theres something called defence which prevents the other team simply being able to do put-backs . Thats why it's about timing and a difficult thing to do that happens not all that often. It's not a BUG you just have to know what you are doing.. would be stupid if you could just do putback dunks all the time with ease, wheres the challange in that? shooting and just knowing you can do a putback easily would be lame.. it just happens! and thats what makes it cool when you do it, and its fair.

Thanks for all your replies.
How come this topic gets 200+ views but only 23 votes - that's strange.

Anyway, I am still attempting to dunk putback. I usually play my games with player lock and I've NEVER done a dunk putback. I've even tried putting three controllers on defense and my controller on offense (essentially 5-on-2) and I still can't do it. I always tip the ball in rather than doing a dunk putback.

I'm getting really frustrated because I feel that I'm missing out. I mean what can be better than a dunk putback in an NBA game (ah, a next poll )? I will continue to try to dunk putback.

To those that do dunk putbacks all the time, can you please post a screenshot of you doing one. One with a human player icon/reticle under the player who's doing the dunk putback of course. This can be achieved by pressing your keyboard's Print Screen button (the player icons are removed in the instant replays option). It would be appreciated greatly and give this poor soul some hope.

I think you're right nels, but I think you're missing the point slightly. I don't even attempt a dunk putback. In 1-on-1, you can always attempt a dunk putback, but most of the time, they are unsuccessful. In a 5-on-5 game, it would be silly to dunk putback successfully all the time. But I would atleast like to attempt to dunk putback, whether successful or not. This way I know it is possible. The computer attempts a lot of dunk putbacks but is rarely successful. Fairly enough, I would like to attempt dunk putbacks as well.
I hope you understand.

Looking forward to more of NLSC's input on this.

Thanks

The annoying thing about it is that the computer always has a player try to dunk putback it on a lot of its missed shots but for human players its almost impossible to jump and hold onto the rim like the computer players do.

Thats cause we pull our defenders out of position playing the shooter and the CPU gets a clear path, and the CPU does not make the same mistakes.

DK:
You've actually done (or atleast attempted) a rebound-dunk with a human controlled player? A player with a human reticle under him, that is.
Do you play with playerlock and what player have you done a rebound-dunk with?

How do you get the putback dunk?

When I go for offensive boards, I hit the jump button. The best that ever gets me is a tap follow.

How do you get the putback dunk?

Sorry. I believe it is impossible to attempt/achieve a dunk putback for a human controlled player. I believe the concept of dunk putbacks is like that of setting a pick and rolling: the computer can do it, but we can't

Unfortunately, most of the people who voted in my poll for "Yes, they have done it," and replied to the topic saying the same thing, might be illiterate and do not understand the concept of human controlled player. This is similar in more worldly issues, like poverty and hunger. People choose not to believe it and choose not to be informed about it, and thus, nothing ever gets done and it never gets solved. They're just ignorant really ... don't you think?

Here's some tips.

Give one of your players the ball and shoot from the three point line. Then quickly press the "Switch Player" button and it should automatically switch you to the nearest person to the ball. Go directly at the bottom of the basket. Now if the ball seems like it isn't going to go in, quickly press the "Jump/Block" button to reach for the ball. Then press and hold the "Shoot" button and your player should dunk the ball if he has good dunking abilities.

But if you're talking about something else, why don't you try using the "Alley-Oop" button and mess around with it.

I could be mistaken, but is this when a player grabs an offensive rebound, comes back down, and then jump back up for the dunk?
LOL. This is what I always do because I can't do a dunk putback.

C'mon NLSC... vote so this problem will be recognized and hopefully fixed!

you're crackin me up bunny. I don't know if its impossible for a human-controlled player to dunk, but I can make my 50 rated O and D rebounder with 99 dunk and jump rating average 10 RPG in 8 minute quarters, but I've yet to dunk a putback.
And yes, I do think that the vast majority of people are ignorant. The only progress humanity ever seems to make is when an Einstein or a Nietzsche or a Beethoven comes along and single-handedly drags humanity, kicking and screaming, towards progress. This forum should be no different.

I have never seen a successful dunk put-back in a 5-on-5 game. For those of you who claim to have done a dunk putback, post some screens to back up your game. And please do keep in mind what a dunk putback is, its not when your play grabs a rebound, lands, and then goes back up again! And please people, vote on this subject as its one that has been plaguing the nba live series for years and will do so for years to come without your support!

I was starting to believe that it couldn't be done either; however, I just did it in 1 on 1 mode. In order to send you pics, after I press PrntScrn key, where does it save the image? Is there another way of showing you the video?

artcade: Please read!

The poll question clearly asks:

Have you ever achieved a putback dunk with a HUMAN CONTROLLED player in a 5-on-5 game?

And this has been restated god knows how many times throughout this topic.

Oops

Nobody has ever done this in a 5 on 5 game because it cant be done in 2003. I think if you player lock your computer controlled players can do it.

DAMN!!!
7 year bump? why?
Don't bump threads unless you have something very urgent to say. This thread has been dead for around seven years.

I know this isn't really the way to welcome you to the forum, but if you keep bumping threads for no real reason, then you could be banned. Just a heads up. You'll thank me later. (or wish you'd listened to me)

Yeah. Bumping topics. Not good.
