Very few things inNBA 2K25feel as good to perform and can energize your squad more than a well-timed Alley-Oop, a play which, in most cases, can only be performed after perfectly syncing up with a teammate.
But contrary to what many might think, performing the play is a pretty straightforward affair, even for newcomers. So that you may set the rhythm of any game, here’s how to perform both regular and alley-oops to self inNBA 2K25.
How to perform Alley-Oops inNBA 2K25
You can perform a standard alley-oop inNBA 2K25by first double-tapping △/Y while your targeted player makes their way toward the painted area. Doing so prompts you to make the lob pass and causes the input meter to appear on your screen. To finish the play, simply press □/X or tilt the right stick down.
Make sure to only make the input once the cursor enters any of the green zones, as failing will cause you to either miss the ball or the basket. You can also call for the alley-oop pass by double-pressing △/Y while running toward the post.
To make setting up the play easier while in both The City and when controlling full squads, calling for a screen right before will give you a golden opening, as after performing the move, your target player will run toward the painted area.
