NBA 2K22 Impressions Thread

Re: 2k22 Impressions

What are the missing camera views in MyNBA?

I am one of the few that moved on years ago from 2k cam. Been like 3 months since I played 2k21. So I might be off on the camera names.

I play in High view and my fav is skybox or sideline I think, one of the side views kinda looks like old NBA Live.

These camera views have been missing in Online play against humans but available against the CPU. My biggest pet peeve with 2k has always been missing camera views.

If this is now happening to franchise I don't even know what to say. Would be one thing to add camera views or change them but to just remove them completely.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Czar what happened to that system a few years ago when teams would match up regardless of position?

Example, the CPU Clippers would put Kawhi (playing as a SF) against say Lavine who plays as a SG.

Anything before I took over a couple weeks before ship last year I can't fully account for. When I say we rebuilt I meant that. When you do that you loose features because I had no documentation for whatever was here before me.

I do remember casuals complaining because if Kawai was guarding someone else then that meant their pg or whatever had a different matchup and they didn't understand that. Probably why that went away if I had to guess.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Thank you. I put a ton of work in fam. When someone in this thread said a minor defensive update I was PISSED. . I have more plans for the future but I thought this was a real solid update for a year. Especially considering how long it has been an issue.

End users not giving the pandemic, short dev cycle any understanding.. the pNr coverage has been a mess. The general physical nature, without being "just sticky" is impressive...It is clearly going in the right direction. Future looks really bright . SimNation alive and well.

Man even if I am not posting I am always stopping by to read. It gets a bit much sometimes man (all the little attacks on my character etc)and personally life has been a bit ruff on me health wise these last couple years and with OG leaving I doubled my work load so I just don't have the time or energy I used to.

Always good to see the impressions good or bad, have to know what the people are saying. Today though there is twitter, youtube, reddit, instagrams. Hell everything, so you kind of have to spread your time out.

Czar you the man. a 2k institution. eff the trolls and haters dont pay em no mind you know it aint even worth it.

Only a few of us noticed this when it was implemented in 2k16. I remember him saying it was phased out a bit for whatever reason. Only issue I had was when Klay would guard the PGs even when the SG on the opposing team was the better player.

Health and family is always first and most important.

When you get a chance later, you might want to stop and take a peek in the PNO thread. Personally, I'm waiting until the official North American release to put your work to the test. I have faith in your work, but you know how them cheesers be online. Even in my small sample size with the offline Play Now, I like what I see thus far.

Czar, why did 2k chose to remove shot aiming?

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Hoping to see some more blogs and videos from you guys detailing exactly what's been improved. I don't have the game yet, but it seems to be less explicitly stated than in years past

Yea, that old way of going super deep in features probably will never come back. Today's gamers don't want to do all that reading and even with the stuff we release today they just watch a youtube summary from their favorite creator.

We put a ton into game-play every year though just like we used to. We just don't get to talk about it. Park and MyCareer really are the main drivers for marketing as they are huge modes

Is the AI calling more than the same couple plays like last year?

The community at large hated it. Even though it was optional they wanted it out the game and the poll was like 80 plus percent against it. I think the zen users using it had something to do with it. I worked with Mike to develop that so I hate that it went away. I thought it was new and innovative and people would love it. They. Did. NOT.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Why would his primary play type be 3 pointers? You really want to see him running floppy's all-game ?

Czar, with the greatest respect for the work you put in and the job you do, he's had Priority 1 3PT for the last few editions and I have no idea why.

Good to hear it is no more.

Didn't people spot shot aiming being optional? Sorry to hear something you worked hard on was hated that much. It seems impressions are that there has been significant improvement on both sides of the ball so kudos! I do wonder, there's already worries about bugs, like PA announcers not working in all modes. Are you aware and is there a day 1 patch to fix any issues?

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Can anyone tell me which are the cameras that are missing from MyNBA?

Can anyone go into MyNBA and just list the camera views available for franchise mode?

It was but not enough to get users to give up square. Shooting felt intuitive and it gave slashing another dimension. I saw more people adopting it during the later stages of 2k21 I’m hoping it returns.
