Re: Why i cant do certain types of Dunk?
OK I found this on the 10/9/2018 hugh patch of October which is when I found I was tired cuz of the stamina bar introduced and noticed soon after that no more fancy dunks where being done.
Dunks
- More signature dunks have been applied to additional NBA players
- Decreased the likelihood of a Highlight dunk from playing in traffic
- Adjusted various dunks to ratings, to decrease crazier dunks from playing on low skilled dunkers
- Put a larger penalty to decrease the likelihood of repeating signature or Highlight dunks in a single game
- More appropriate selection for handedness and context
- Left handed players should be more likely to use left handed finishes
STAMINA
- Holding sprint will now decrease your short-term stamina quicker
- The longer you hold it, the faster you will tire out
- If you are too tired, but request a dunk you will now have a chance of missing the dunk
- The more tired you are the slower you will physically move
So I did some more research and they are still in the game. What's happening is that the patch limited the signature & highlight dunks in traffic and also repeating too often (like never) in a single game and they adjusted certain dunks ratings to have less of a chance from occurring on low skilled dunkers.
The low skilled chance is not a factor for us since I'm a 95 or 96 forgot on my dunk skills and your overall is a 99 but I don't know what build you are. I'm a Rim Protector with evolution icon 98 overall because of the bug playing the demo and transferring into full game did not get to a 99 but I'm a 100 xp with Max skills, max icon stacked 3x and 3 gold traits.
I have proof that someone did perform the double dunk here published March 5, 2019
Also this player at reddit live performed 5 hrs ago

They just happen randomly...i got a wing defender with donovan mitchell dunks and i did a double dunk on a fast break by myself...had no idea that would even be in his package
Also this helps

In my experience you gotta be wide open for a lot of the fancier dunks to kick in, or in chase-down situations.
Tbh tho Blake Griffin and VC have better dunk-on animations anyways, tho some of them are included in street dunks. Street dunks just have the most variety of options from what I've seen, which can be good or bad. The good thing is that you get more dunks overall, as you have a dunk for pretty much any angle/spot near the basket. The bad is that in chase down situations you can end up going for a cockback against your will and get blocked for no reason lol or tryna do some fancy * on a RP and get snagged.

This one shows that the Vince Carter does indeed perform them

Blake Griffin does the elbow dunk seen here
I don't think I have done the backwards cross arms one with street dunks, have you? If I remember correctly it was with Blake Griffin that I started to do the elbow dunk and the double dunk because I still hadn't opened up the street dunks back in September 2018 in the beginning. I do though remember doing more dunks on street dunks and I think I did do a elbow or double with street dunks, not sure.
All that changed once they introduced the 10/09/2018 patch and the game became more rigid, less fun. Like the flow of the early game was sweet and then ea slapped realism and dulled it a bit at least with stamina and dunks.
Now if I do remember I would find myself performing these dunks by slightly angle the joystick at a angle. Like if the controller is a clock you want to not just go up, down, left or right but rather 1.5, 4.5, 7.5, 10.5 o-clock. Mid way from 12 and 3, 3 and 6, 6 and 9 and 9 and 12 o-clock if that makes any sense. I found that angling the joy stick like that would create dazzling dunks like the elbow and double dunks.
I don't know if it changed or if like the other guy stated that it happens random but because of this patch there is less of a chance you can trigger it. Definitely the stamina depletion does not help either cuz it will make you miss a dunk or just do a simple layup.
The only way to test this out is go to practice after you change your dunk packages and test out the dunks with the described angling of joystick to see if it happens there in a free environment where it is more forgiving.
