Re: 2k22 Impressions

Can someone confirm that you still can’t see faces close up in the editing section? Dunno why they’d remove that.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

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!

Honestly, they did a lot of quality of life improvement. It's similar to 2K21, but definitely different. I'm playing then side by side at the moment.

However, let's keep it 100. The REAL test will be when the cheesers and tryhards get their hands on the game. On the surface, it seems like a solid game.

Mike warned everyone on Reddit that it may be tweaked and to not build players based around it. They seem to know it won’t go as planned once problems or exploits come raining in.

Man! I'm just trying to get one dunk off, lol. There will be no showboating for me. Although, this will make for great funny moments in the MyPlayer games.

Man I would love to hear any thoughts, even just run on pop ups that you have playing them back to back. Like how does 2K21 feel when you hop back in it in certain specific ways.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

I just got an update for 1.02 for PS5. Anyone else?

Re: 2k22 Impressions

To those who are wondering about the icon underneath the player. You change it AND the color. Cute addition.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

OH, can anyone please inform me if there are any changes to Jordan. Anything at all in terms of likeness, signatures (any potential new ones, etc.), anything.

I know his look is identical to 2K21 so I’m assuming they didn’t touch him.

Also Kobe. They seem to have further improved his scan based on a promo pic. But not sure if he’s also technically the same.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

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.

Yes that’s exactly how I’ll do it. I always set up my rotations staggered so 5 guys don’t all come out at same time.

My thoughts are this is exactly what it was built for to break from that if the situation arises like foul trouble, blowouts etc. because as was with rotations you usually set 9-10 mam rotation and the rest of your bench wouldn’t play all season. That was the drawback of using the paint rotations.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Did they have "chews gum" and "qualifies for world team" under player edit last year? That's pretty cool.

2K21 was definitely more clunkier to me.

I'll let the dribble heads take point on this comment, since I never try to be dribble God. The dribble moves seem snappier and easier to pull off, but there's less variety of moves to pull off.
