How to alley-oop in NBA 2K23
There are three different kinds of alley-oops in NBA 2K23: the traditional alley-oop, the alley-oop to one’s self, and a bounce pass alley-oop. Each has its own variances, including how each is performed and how many players on the court are involved in the play.
Here are the controls for each one:
- Alley-oop: Double tap Y (for Xbox) or Triangle (for PlayStation). Then, use the left stick to select the receiver of the alley-oop pass.
- Alley-oop pass: Double tap Y/Triangle, and then move the left stick towards the hoop.
- Bounce pass alley-oop: Press A (for Xbox) or X (for PlayStation), plus B (for Xbox) or Circle (for PlayStation). Then, move the left stick toward the receiver of the pass.
Those are the controls for doing alley-oops in NBA 2K23. Remember, alley-oops are high-risk, high-reward moves. So, make sure that when doing one, you have plenty of confidence and, if you’re in MyTeam or MyCareer, some teammates that you’re very comfortable with receiving the pass and getting the latter part of the move done.
