Dunk / Defense

Dunk Meter

Toggle ON/OFF.

The Dunk Meter feature lets you activate the dunk meter using alternate buttons, depending on your Button Remap selection.
This feature does NOT autogreen your dunk — you must still release at the correct time.
This feature is beneficial for people who use Stick Auto Tempo.

Activation Based on Button Remap

R3 Remap

  • Activate Dunk Meter with R2 + L1 (PS)
  • Or RT + LB (Xbox)

Note: When using L1 to activate the meter, you cannot call for screens from AI teammates.

L1 Remap

  • Activate Dunk Meter with R2 + R3 (PS)
  • Or RT + RS IN (Xbox)

You must release the secondary button to correctly time the dunk release.

Special Cases

  • If you use both L1/LB Shooting and SQ/X Shooting, you must use Dunk Meter as a Dribble Combo (see Dribble Combos Guide).

This feature also works for Standing Dunks.

Defense Assist

Toggle ON/OFF.

Defense Assist provides automated boosts while defending with:

  • L2 + R2 (PS)
  • LT + RT (Xbox)

Two defensive assist options are available:

Extreme Clamps

Activated by holding L1 (PS) or LB (Xbox).

Use this when you are directly in front of and touching the ball handler to trigger additional clamp/bump animations.

  • You may still need to move your LS to stay in position
  • The Zen will light RED when Extreme Clamps is active
  • Release at any time to return to manual control

Player Boost

Activated by tapping R1 (PS) or RB (Xbox).

Use this when you are in front of the ball handler but not yet close, to gain a quick boost in the direction of your Left Stick.

  • The Zen will light GREEN when Player Boost is active

Warning

  • If your left stick direction is wrong, you may boost the wrong way
