Do the dunk contest scores feel completely random for anyone else?

Doing the dunk contest in mycareer, my guy does a crazy 360 and the announcers go nuts like it's a 50... I get a 36. Other guy does a lame ass dunk and the announcers don't really like it and he gets a 44. Last time I did it it also seemed completely random.

Supposedly it's like based on time of your controls, but honestly, they shouldVe used 2K11's method of controls AND have placed scores for more difficult dunks.

Figures. But even comparing the computer's dunks with each other the scores seem to make no sense. The whole gamemode is just awful.

Mfw they only give an AI 50 for a 360-between the legs-reverse dunk. Well not sure if that dunk existspb in the game but it's something crazy like that.

Oh I loved those controls so much. It felt so much better doing dunks with the analog sticks than the Guitar Hero style crap it is now. The scoring also felt a lot more consistent and better overall.

Guitar Hero controls were in 2K14. In 2K15 it's press, release, fail, scream at the TV.

Nothing will ever beat old NBA Live game's dunk contests.

They should have kept 2k9's dunk contest and dunk school

If I'm remembering correctly, they changed it because people complained about it being too hard. I was very annoyed because I thought it was almost perfect.

I reset my Xbox like 10 times to win that thing

I reset my game 10 times just so I could figure out how to make one of the dunks go in. Worst unskipable mini game ever.

I just hate that it doesn't allow me to skip it or practice it. Every year it's a new shitty mini game, that i only learn so that I don't have to watch my character fail to do dunks he does in game no problem. At least it's no longer Guitar Hero. If I wanted to play Guitar Hero I wouldn't be playing NBA2K.

How did you even put down that dunk.. The method they use is not possible for a normal person. I can't react that quickly to the next control at all. I did the myGM contest with all 4 people and only put down 3 dunks

I don't think I made an error there. Did you overlook the word "scores"?
