After having my memory card seize up on me 140+ games into a 162 game MLB 06 season, and just not having the patience to ressurect last year’s Madden Franchise that I had started, I decided to switch it up and grab myself a good basketball video game.
I went with NBA 2k8, since I didn’t really want to wait until November to get the NCAA version. I have no patience.
I started up a season last night, and two games in, I am a bit confused. It would *appear* that you cannot dunk in the flow of a game. After bringing Kevin Garnett into the lane uncontested, only to have him choke layups in the sissiest of ways, I paused and read the manual. No dunk button. Not even the mention of a dunk option.
I re-read the manual and even researched online. Nothing.
Is this possible? It’s like having a baseball game with no home runs, or a football game with no sacks.
Did I accidentally get WNBA 2k8? I don’t think so…the person on the cover appears to in fact be a man.
I know that I have the PS2 version, which at this point is like having the Commodore 64 version, but COME ON. This can’t be possible…no way. If I find out that it is though, I am returning it. What a screw-job.

Pull the right trigger as you shoot near the basket and you should dunk it. I also recommend using the right stick rather than the X button down low.

Which is the trigger? The analog stick? Seems like a tough maneuver to hit that stick and the shoot button at the same time.

Press X to shoot, and make sure that you are running or moving towards the hoop, then while you’re in the air, either hold X or to make a definite dunk pull down on the right analog stick.
I’ve found that when using players such as Eddie House in the paint going up for a lay-up doesn’t work when there are larger defenders there, so a good option would be to press X like you’re doing a layup, but then tap X again. He should double-clutch, or do a shot which is less likely to get blocked.
