NBA 2K22 Menu but same gameplay

Re: NBA 2K22 Menu but same gameplay

Are you going to be getting the game day 1 or are you waiting to see reviews and impressions first? If you get it day 1 I'll be looking for your impressions about the shooting mechanics.

I'm still getting it Day 1. At this point, I'm just like "Whatever". If I take the time to wait for reviews and actual videos, I'm still going to want to experience the game for myself and form my own opinion. Most people's videos and opinions is going to be based on the MyPlayer mode anyways. Truthfully, the reason why I enjoy this forum so much is because there are other people outside of the popular modes that can give different opinions regarding the game. Obviously, my focus will be mainly PNO, OTF coaching experience, defense, and shooting with the RS.

Sounds like you'll be one of the go to people I'll be looking for come Friday. Don't be surprised if I'm asking you questions and looking for feedback about the game.

Completely agree about the community here. There are quibbles between the "complainers" and the "2K shills" but it's a passionate group here that ultimately just wants the best virtual basketball/NBA experience. Wouldn't go anywhere else for some fair and honest feedback.

For real! When it comes to Day 1 feedback, OS is where it's at.

Haha, I must’ve been the only person who liked dribbling in 2k21. Felt like it had more flow, as opposed to feeling jittery. Mainly though I’ve never been big into right-stick wizardry, but for the first time I felt I could actually handle a bit in 2k21. Like, you know if you’re sprinting one way (left or right) then press the opposite direction on the right stick, you’ll flow into hard crossover through the legs? How do you do that in 2k20?

I'm with you. 2k21's dribbling felt so natural to me I actually feel 2k22 will be more of an adjustment than usual. The long presses and chain moves felt smooth to me. Prelude would have come in handy this year especially, lol

I hope they made tons of improvements to the mode, but, I also understand that My Career/Park/Rec/Online modes are their priority at this point.

MyNBA is still the deepest franchise mode for any sports game (2K and the NHL series are unmatched in this regard) so I'm hoping they have something up their sleeve for us offline players to take it to the next level.

Just give me a ticker of everything happening in my franchise while playing the game or at halftime show and I'm golden.

I intially disliked 2k21's dribbling because I felt like I had a really good grasp of the dribbling in 2k20. At first 2k21 felt slow and sluggish to me but the more I played and adjusted the more I liked it. I don't mind the switch back to the 2k20 way of dribbling I'm just not looking forward to rewiring my way of thinking yet again. Definitely agree about Prelude.

If you don't want the timing on dunks, you can just use the normal dunk mechanics. Alley-oops are all timed now, though.

I wonder what button we’ll lose for that stupid dunk timing option.

Guarantee it doesn’t make it to 2K23 or gets heavily patched.

Same. The “slower” dribbling feels more natural. People really think real NBA players move around like mice on meth. Real games move at a pace much closer to 2K21’s “relaxed” motion compared to some jittery arcade nonsense.

I am 100 percent not pumped about the notion of having to time certain dunks. At some point, you lose a lot of the feel of basketball when every motion is turned into a meter-based mini-game.

As always though, make it an option that can be toggled on or off and I'm cool with whatever you want to add, so long as the game still works with the option toggled off.

The dunk meter seems so stupid. We need to see more gameplay, the game comes out in 3 days like wtf.

You don't have to use it if you don't like it, so that's basically the same thing as having an option to turn it off.

Not really the same. If I want to show off during a fastbreak with a reverse/360 dunk, I have to go through the mini game to pull it off.

EDIT: Now, that I mentioned it. Why in the hell would you give players' the option to pull off a high degree difficult dunk in traffic via a mini game? Crap like that encourages low basketball IQ decisions.

2k has never been great at releasing official 5 on 5 gameplay videos. In the past we would have to rely on offscreen Gamescom vids. More recently they've done at least one stream of Ronnie and LD (I think?) playing a full game and that's about it.

I actually feel like that's the case for most sports games. If it wasn't for EA Play and the early access program I'm not sure we'd see much gameplay for the EA games either.
