If that dribble sequence at 2:21 is a custom sizeup done by the user and not a pre-set animation, that is insanely smooth and I would like to play this game now please.

Thats footage from 22 bruh lol

I felt that the dribble/ shot stick was at its apex last year, and it’s LOOKS like it’s evolving even more. Need to get a feel for it.

I agree. I loved the dribbling last year with the explosiveness and responsiveness of it. It sounded like czar mentioned less twitchy and we will notice it immediately as well with pull ups and more responsiveness compared to last year which I thought was also the best it had been.

After that Czar vid, I wonder if shading takes up one of the adrenaline bars. He said it will be difficult to stay where you want on defense, so maybe that means you can’t abuse the shading and more have to hold off on using it until you really want to commit.

Really need some more detail on this adrenaline system and if/how they differentiate guys with that higher motor/stamina from the rest.

Wonder if they got rid of those unneeded double pump pull up jumpshots.

For you online guys, per Mike Wang on Twitter, Real Player % no longer an option in online games. I don't play online like that. But for those that do is this good news or bad news?

It is really good news it will force players to have to shoot with skill rather then be open and then cpu makes it go in no matter what long as they are open

Boy I hope so. Not only were they unneeded but also ugly and unrealistic.

Re: NBA 2K23 Gameplay Details and Improvements Revealed

While all of this sounds great and its meant to hype us none of it means nothing without putying simple things like shooting, contact , and ball fouls along with physical play and most of all defense that rotated and has a semblance of logic!

No offense to the many last gen/PC gamers, but I feel bad for 'new gen"/current gen gamers cause the larger install base (last gen) is holding back the game.

Obviously, I stated why (larger install base) that is so, but the AI/gameplay improvements for the series have slowed to a crawl catering to (checking my phone) near 10 year old tech.

Time to move on and really dip into the power of these newer consoles, IMO.

These were in the game for a reason. If you get this animation 2K is telling you that you were out of control while holding R2. You always want to let go of R2 while shooting a pull up so that you’ll be in better control and it will result in a smoother shot animation that’s easier to time.

I'm wondering if this is just destined to be an odd generation of consoles.

The supply shortage is one thing but speaking from a personal gaming standpoint, I haven't felt the push necessary to slap down $500 to $700 to grab a next gen console and accessories. NBA 2K7's signature jumpers and animations are what finally pushed me to grab a 360 and a great deal is what pushed me into XBox One, but I haven't felt a need to upgrade for what my gaming interests are.

I figure it's probably an unusual position for 2K's development, with so many people yet to upgrade thus splintering their development. But then, paradoxically, I haven't really seen the sort of "next level" from my go-to games to warrant that sort of financial commitment.

I totally agree with everything you stated. I remember how i got from ps2 to 3 and then i remember how ultra fast i got from ps3 to ps4 but now this ain't it. It's not the same upgrade.

And i don't really believe the so called much power of the next gen either aside ssd, as the game developments are already at some level, more horse power won't get the supper dupper stuff any time soon as it seems and i also don't really believe 2k doesn't get more innovation bcs of current gen at all.. Things are not stall because of current gen that's what people misunderstand fully or just as they already paid a huge chunk of money they think they need more privilige or something as the human nature as is, i don't know..

Re: NBA 2K23 Gameplay Details and Improvements Revealed

Next gen is FAR more powerful than old gen. Don’t get it twisted, the hardware of old gen isn’t even close. The supply shortages severely hindered both MS and Sony’s ability to get these new consoles into consumers’ hands, so devs made the decision to have most games release on both old and new gen consoles. That’s the long and short reason why we haven’t seen some of the generational leaps we expected 2 years into this console generation, and most of the benefit has been reduced to the SSD load speeds because that’s the easiest thing to code for while maintaining a general parity between old and new consoles.
