NBA 2K22 Reveals More Gameplay Innovations In Latest Report

Published Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:43:11 -0500

2K Games has released its latest Courtside Report for NBA 2K22, going over many of the new gameplay innovations they have added. The biggest thing on the list which we're sure will draw some ire from people will be the Defensive AI, which it appears they have buffed up a bit on both sides of the court, so players will actually block more of your shots. Speaking of which, it appears shooting has been given an upgrade in many ways, but don't expect to get immediate baskets. We have the bullet points below along with the latest trailer to go with the report, which you can read in detail at the link above.

Defense & Defensive AI: Completely rebuilt shot contest and blocking systems, a significant update to the fundamental defensive rotations, and much more;

Dribbling: Players will experience a unique feel and rhythm when sizing up, significantly faster overall pace and much tighter control in navigating the court, and a ton of other new combos, cancels, and move chains;

Post Play: Upgrades highlight loads of new content, including new movement and a new arsenal of back-to-basket moves;

Shooting: There's a new shot meter that will dynamically expand when players take high-quality shots with good shooters but will shrink when heavily contested, shooting with a low-rated shooter, or fatigued. NBA 2K22 puts more emphasis on Shot IQ, meaning the teams that work for open looks and take smart shots are going to see much more success than the teams that force up bad shots;

Finishing: Along with a focus on creating more of a skill gap for finishing at the rim, players can also completely customize their dunk repertoire with an all-new Dunk Style Creator;

Builds, Badges & Takeover: Adjustments to create more balanced builds, and an increase of the total badge count to 80, offer many ways for players to impact the game. Additionally, NBA 2K22 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles introduces Takeover Perks, which you can unlock to strengthen your existing Takeover abilities.
