Re: 2k22 Impressions

could anyone Post Screenshots or a Video from the roster/Player ratings?




and a gameplay/settings question: when you switch matchups during a game (Either on the fly or by using the matchup Menu) will they instantly switch their matchup or does take several possessions for them to do it?

Re: 2k22 Impressions

They have literally stated that they recorded all these PA announcers. This guy got the game early. In your head the logical thing is to convince yourself that 2k lied about all those PA announcers, rather than the OBVIOUS conclusion that it's included in the Day one patch?

If you did come to this conclusion, why would you feel that the PA announcers were worth mentioning when on release they'll obviously be in the game?

Not quite as 'obvious' as you might think...tons of games have been released past couple of years with completely missing features. Some took months to get 'patched in' post release. There is nothing 'obvious' about it being in a day one patch until they officially comment on it. It is also a fairly significant new feature, and it won't be in ANY of the review copies if it is a post release feature. That is odd.

Did I say they lied?

I saw one or two gameplay videos where there WERE new PA announcers. Then some don’t have them. What’s the explanation for that? Some people running on the “day 1 patch” and some not?

My assumption was more so lacking QC or a glitch. I wouldn’t be surprised if some games the new PA works and some it’s just not there. Don’t act like that’s far fetched for 2K games.

I’ll probably buy the game for the damn slightly improved color update. Genius move by 2K. Release a game with such horrifically inaccurate colors that a slightly improved, yet still fairly inaccurate update convinces me to get it.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

The PA announcers will obviously be in the day one patch. They wouldn't advertise it if it wasn't gonna be there on day one. I know people are skeptics but don't let logic go completely out the window lol.

Czar already mentioned the Day 1 patch in his stream.

Could you please link that?

Czar has a virtually non existent social media presence and he said a 'lot' of things about 2K21 that simply were not correct / not in the game and then backtracked.

If there is to be a big day one patch maybe their official twitter could list the details?

I mean, we are not actually asking much...game comes out in a day. No official gameplay vids, no comments on the AI vids...Beluba and co used to release tons of stuff before release. Either they just can't be bothered any more or maybe people don't expect much anymore. I don't know which...

The badges play a big role everywhere in the game. There is no way to stop players like lebron except with triple-teams.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

All those pre-release signs point to not purchasing the game right now right?. Easy. There's still time to cancel pre-orders.

I'll have the game booted up here in a couple of hours after I finish up work and will knock some questions out. Won't be simming through stuff in MYGM etc. but glad to help otherwise.

Official impressions thread will probably come a bit later.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Thank you.Of course i didn't preorder. The game looks exactly like 2k21, gameplay wise, which is what matters to me. I am an offline sim guy.
It seems to me that the game engine reached it's peak. There is no real innovation, just gimmicks with shot meters. I bought 2k21 because it was next gen and because it was "built from the ground up" and now they tell me old and next gen gameplay is identical....

Just a couple quick and easy ones for you: Have they added or removed any gameplay sliders? Does difficulty still switch to Custom when you tweak a slider? And if you lower the Speed/Acceleration with Ball (Max) sliders do players with the ball actually move slower, or does it have no effect like in 2K21?

Wait lowering the max/min sliders have no effect in 2K21? I lowered max and raised min and could never really tell but makes sense that I didn’t notice much difference.

Re: 2k22 Impressions

Are those net sounds and animations snappier?

Re: 2k22 Impressions

2K spent a ton of time on PA announcers and when they announced it Da Czar didn’t even know about it! Only way that is true is if they kept that out until it’s ready and most likely a day one patch to put it in. Heck, shot aiming was still in next gen until a patch yesterday removed it.

Has Czar said anything about the complete lack of CPU double teams? He admitted the D was messed up in 21 as the lead guy left. But it would be a massive letdown if the CPU does not double when Curry, LBJ etc are on fire.
