How to Make A Alley-Oop & Flashy Pass in NBA 2K23?

In addition to physical strength, sound fundamentals are generally the key to success in NBA 2K23. Two of the signature moves in basketball are classic alley-oop and flashy passes. This guide will explain how to perform an alley-oop and flashy pass in NBA 2K23.

How to Alley-Oop in NBA 2K23?
 

There are three kinds of alley-oops in NBA 2K23: the traditional alley-oop, the alley-oop to one's self, and a bounce pass alley-oop.

1. Alley-Oop to a Teammate

To perform an excellent old-fashioned alley-oop to a teammate, simply double-tap the lob pass button and move the left joystick toward who you wish to receive the ball. That'll be Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox, and X on the Nintendo Switch.

Make sure that your intended target is near or moving toward the rim as you attempt the alley-oop.

2. Alley-Oop to Yourself

You can alley-oop the ball to yourself by double-tapping the lob pass button again, but this time, make sure your player is on the way to the rim with space to make a play. Instead of passing the ball to your teammate, you will pass the ball off the backboard and back to yourself to complete the dunk, so long as you have space to do so.

3. Bounce Pass Alley-Oop

This one's a little more difficult and relies heavily on timing. To pull off a bounce pass alley-oop, you'll need to simultaneously hit the pass and bounce pass buttons while directing the left analog stick toward the intended target. That'll be X + O on PlayStation, A + B on Xbox, and X + A on the Nintendo Switch.

Here are the controls for each one:

1). To do an Alley-Oop on PlayStation, double tap a Triangle and then use your Left Stick to point to the player you want the ball to go to.
2). To do the Alley Oop on the Xbox, you just need to double-tap Y. Then, use the left stick in the same direction you want to pass the ball.
3). If you want to do the Alley Oop on the PC, press the Numpad 3 once. Then select the pass direction with the help of the left and right arrow keys or the A and D keys.

How to Make a Flashy Pass in NBA 2K23?
 

Before you can start making Flashy Passes, you have to do some prerequisites. By default, passing is set to Normal in the controller settings, and if you want to make Flashy Passes, you will need to alter this setting. This can be done by:

1. Go to "Settings" from the pause menu.
2. Scroll down until you find "Controller Settings."
3. Head over to "Passing" and switch to "Flashy."

Now, you can pull off a flashy pass during any game style in NBA 2K23 by pressing the pass button, which is either RB (for Xbox) or R1 (for PlayStation). Simply point the analog stick in the direction of the player you want to pass the ball to and hit the pass button to perform a flashy pass. On the other hand, if you don't want to mess with your default passing and still leave the option for normal passing, you can leave the Passing Option in the Controller setting to Normal. Now, if you want to make a Flashy Pass, double tap Circle and point to the player you want to pass the ball to (B for Xbox).

That's everything you need to know about how to alley-oop and flashy pass in NBA 2K23. And as always, keep your eyes on U4GM.COM for even more, including a rundown of all NBA 2K23 MT prices and microtransactions in the game.
