Is it possible to throw a standing alley-oop in this game?

[RyanFitzmagic]

As in, the recipient catches it from a standstill as opposed to on the run. Should I just stop trying?

Ive wondered this as well.I know it would come in handy with the speedy help d recovery in this game.Help guy comes but as soon as i pass it off its contested or blocked.Stand still lob would be nice in that situation but could probably be abused as well so i dunno.

I don't throw many oops in traffic, but I remember getting one on accident from Chris Paul to Deandre Jordan. I thought Griffin was cutting to the basket with an open lane so I threw it, only Griffin got caught on his man and Jordan cleaned it up.

Yes, it is possible to throw an alley oop to someone just standing close to the basket. However, it is not something I would recommend trying very often as the odds of completing one of these is very low.

You can throw a standing alley. Hard to do tho.

any alley-oop ive thrown in game the receiving player needed to at least take a couple steps towards the hoop.

as far as the demo for nba 2k12 goes it was possible and seemed realistic enough to not be abused; but then again this was against the AI cause there was no way to play a human opponent in the demo.

but as far as doing it in the actual game i have seen 0 (zero) completed neither by myself ,any AI controlled team, or by any person i have played against offline/online.
the intended receiver either dont jump or just goes about his motions not recognizing or reacting to the pass or the ball nearby.

Recommendations :add animation of attempting the standing alley hoop so even if he doesn't attempt to score the ball at least catch and recover for a put back or pass the ball back out

and/or fumbles depending on attributes of catching in traffic and finishing in traffic

There is one play in the celtics playbook for the 4 I think that has a lot of movement, and the 5 kind of hangs out on the edge of the paint weak side and if the D slides to help and I have the right angle from the top of the key I can throw the oop and Jermaine will take two steps and throw it down.

It's really hard to pull off and impossible to force. You have to read it right and have the right angle. I think only possible for big men, perhaps obviously.
