In NBA 2K25, alley-oop passes can be among the greatest highlight plays, but they require work and exact timing to master.
NBA 2K25‘s new offensive features mostly focus on improving dribbling and shooting. But even with no significant modifications, a little bit of AI advancements goes a long way. First, players have greater space to maneuver and make more decisions with the ball thanks to a new court-spacing engine technology.
In the meantime, 2K improved drive and kick opportunities as well as diving opportunities by redesigning the cut-to-the-basket logic. This also holds true for alley-oop passes, since teammates will cut to the basket more skillfully in order to catch a pass in midair and slam it home.

How to complete a pass alley-oop
The player trying to score will see a dunk meter appear on the screen as soon as the ball leaves the hand. The objective is to hit the shoot button (X on Xbox, Y on Switch, or Square on PlayStation) when the meter reaches the green portion of the circle.
A miss will occur if you press the button too slowly or inside the circle’s orange region.
