The only problem was that the dunk contest was turned into a guitar hero simulator and it felt nothing like it once was. It got to the point where you can't even play it anymore as a stand-alone game mode. but instead, it's hidden inside your MyCareer or fantasy leagues. it seems like NBA 2K has forgotten about their all-star weekend roots. but there's good news apparently the NBA 2K21 next gen has redesigned the dunk contest.
