For Elite Basketball on Roblox, the most common controller input for a lob or self-lob is to use the game’s lob prompt and then finish with the appropriate shoot/dunk button, but the exact buttons can vary by mode. Based on recent public clips, controller players often use a Right Stick press / Y / Triangle-style input for self-lob setups, while teammate lobs may use a shoulder-button plus pass-button combo depending on the platform and game mode.

Quick Scoop

A simple way to try it is:

  1. Get close enough to the basket or your teammate.
  2. Trigger the lob input for your control scheme.
  3. Follow it immediately with the dunk or finish button.
  4. If it doesn’t work, try adjusting timing and spacing first.

Recent community videos describe the timing as the main part of the move, not just the button press itself. One Roblox basketball guide also notes that for self-lobs on controller, the basic pattern can be a right-stick press plus a finish button, while another clip mentions a controller combo involving a shoulder button and a face button for lobbing a teammate.

Controller Notes

  • Self-lob examples often mention pressing down on the right stick and then finishing with Y/Triangle.
  • A teammate lob example mentions LB + A on Xbox and a similar shoulder-button combo on PlayStation.
  • Some clips suggest the game may have different inputs depending on the specific Roblox basketball experience, so the exact mapping may not match every version.

What To Try

If you are on controller, test these in order:

  • Right stick press + finish button for self-lob.
  • Shoulder button + pass button for a teammate lob.
  • Move closer to the hoop or teammate before trying again.
  • Watch for any in-game prompt or animation cue that confirms the input worked.

Common Issue

If the lob is not happening, the usual problem is timing. The recent clips repeatedly emphasize that you need to press the buttons at the right moment, not just hold them randomly. If your version of Elite Basketball is different from the videos, the control layout may also be remapped or updated.

TL;DR: On controller, try a right-stick press plus the finish/dunk button for self-lob, or a shoulder-button plus pass button for teammate lobs, and focus on timing.
