NBA 2K22 New Gameplay Features Detailed, Exclusive Feature for PS5/XSX Revealed

NBA 2K22 is coming out next week, and as such, 2K Games is ramping up the hype for their biggest sports title this year with more information on the many exciting new features for the game. In a press release that was sent last week, Visual Concepts has provided more details on NBA 2K22 new gameplay features that will be coming to the game this September 10.

NBA 2K22 New Gameplay Features:

Without further ado, let’s check out a quick rundown of the new gameplay features coming to NBA 2K22:

• 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.

What’s interesting is that one of these new features will be exclusive to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, called the Takeover Perks. Takeover Perks are modifiers that you can unlock and equip to strengthen your existing Takeover abilities. You can check out the full Courtside Report from 2K Games here.
