The Vertical Rating and Blocking

In NBA 2K23, the higher the vertical rating, the more likely you are to get blocks. As your vertical rating gets closer to 99, your contest percentage and block percentage will significantly increase. This means that if you want to increase your ability to block shots, then having a high vertical rating is essential.

 

The Vertical Rating and Dunking

Having a high vertical rating may not necessarily increase your dunking ability in NBA 2K23. For example, if you have two players with the same dunk package and takeoff point, but one player has a 99 vertical rating, and the other has 70, the highest point of their dunks will be the same.This means that having a 99 vertical rating won't make you jump any higher or further than someone with a 60 or 70 vertical rating.

 

Dunk Packages and Vertical Rating

However, having a 99 vertical rating will help you unlock dunk packages in NBA 2K23. For example, you need a 60 vertical rating to unlock the Alphabetic Front Tomahawk dunk package and a 70 vertical rating to unlock the Uber Athletic Tomahawk dunk package. Having a higher vertical rating can help you unlock more dunk packages and give you a greater variety of dunks to use.

 

Final Thoughts

While having a 99 vertical rating may not increase your dunking ability, it is still a valuable attribute to have in NBA 2K23. A high vertical rating can significantly increase your ability to block shots and contest shots. Additionally, it can help you unlock more dunk packages, which can give you an advantage over your opponents.
