NBA 2K22 Impressions Thread

Re: 2k22 Impressions

This is what I’m looking for. So the “senses test” e.g visual and presentation feels like 21 to you? I’m sure actually feeling the game shows its variances but based on videos it appears pretty interchangeable with 21 to me. Been curious to know if it feels like that while playing it too.

I actually like a more relaxed speed. Feels more realistic to me.

I really hope they don’t wuss out and patch the good defense. Make the kids learn how to play around it for once. It’s time for defense to make a return to the NBA in general and 2K is a but influence on that.

Yes, last year I got that "whole new game feeling" on next gen but today it was a bit underwhelming. I mean the graphics for example are almost the same I would say. Maybe not as washed out as before but you will get that similar vibe from 2k21 when you play it the first time.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

defense is really tough to blow by : you mean cpu won't let you make easy drive to the rim ?

Yes, but you can beat weaker defedners like Curry with Irving for example. But I had a tough time to beat a regular defender with lebron for example.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

With conditional coaching, is that something you can only adjust outside of a game? Or can you adjust during a game? I’m assuming the former, but the latter would be nice if you want to aid the opposing teams AI.

Just saw you can edit those before games in edit within my nba. You can set these up for your opponents and CPU teams all season or b4 games. Same with all coaching adjustments just like years past for specific teams and players. Although ACE will change the game adjustments as game plays out if on but I’m sure coaching adjustments and rotations will stick.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Will these take affect in a simmed game only? Or will they play out in spectator or User vs. Ai as well?? This could be great!

Not sure yet will need to test that but looking at plays currently. Hopefully both!

That is an absolute game-changer. That's awesome.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Can anyone confirm if there is a 120fps mode? It is beyond incredible that in 2022 game we would be stuck again with 60fps and 30fps cutscenes and transitions. At least make the whole game 60fps lock at all times.

This is why I stick with PC version which I can run 160fps at 4k

Madden did it, it is time for 2K to do the same

It's 2021. Madden doesn't run 4K 120fps. It's upscaled from 1440p.

ACE still same or they improve it better ?

This doesn’t worry me. The body up sensitivity slider will help and people probably have to get used to the new dribbling too.

To my RS users...

The millisecond delay is gone. Very important in catch and shoot situations. When you push the stick to the 3 and 9, it immediately goes into the regular layup and dunk animations. Last year, it would do a cradle/euro first THEN dunk the ball. As previously discussed, euro/cradle layups are more at the 5 and 7.

I know shooting was a big concern for you. Jumpshooting better, more responsive than 2k21?

Whenever you test it, edit the rotation timeline for an AI-controlled team first if you don't mind? Hopefully editing rotations won't override it.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

In coach gameplans you can now choose how to defend against DHO’s! Big win!

For those worried about double team not triggering, you can set those up for opponents in gameplan in my nba or in play now if you switch teams for workaround if you want to dig or double just the post. That’s been there but just saying…

The below is in my nba

Conditional Coaching - create simple command

Setup garbage time minutes
Sub in players if player has certain fouls
Sub in starters in close game at end

Conditional Coaching - create complex command

You have a crazy amount of options you can set here! Values in a plethora of areas you can create!

Is this for Myleague too? or just MyNBA

Music to my ears! Damn I'm going to end up caving and buying the game this weekend. By the sounds of it there are a lot of smaller improvements that will add up to an overall better game than 2k21. Better defense and more responsiveness alone is enough to get me excited!

This Aggressive Skill Dunk shouldn't be this hard....
