NBA 2K22 Updated Gameplay, City & Features Details Reveal Entirely New Game

NBA 2K22 Features, New City, Gameplay Details Revealed

keep low expectations & something good might happen. . .

NBA 2K22 features, new city, gameplay details revealed, as the next episode of basketball hype train begins to ready us for fall disappointment? For once, we’re sort of intrigued for the upcoming release of NBA 2K22. While zero gameplay footage has been shown, they’ve outlined the bulk of the game, including major changes to entire MyCAREER scheme of things.

First, the City and MyCAREER will officially merge, as we’ll be able to have possibly faster leveling up systems to get past 95. The new city will also feature a new matchmaking system, which will allow for the option of anonymous matchmaking for higher reputable players like ourselves, that scare away talent (drop your XBL tag in the comments for smoke).

Also, new offsense and DEFENSE animations will be added, which can possibly fix what’s been broken the most about the entire franchise. So, if you make an overpowered defender with 25+ badges, you’ll definitely feel like a wing-lock or paint beast when going up against comp. Take a look at the entire breakdown below, as they’re saying we can expect gameplay footage sometime in August.

NBA 2K22 releases September 10th on all Sony, Microsoft and Windows platforms.

ON-THE-COURT GAMEPLAY

Key on-court gameplay improvements are being implemented to give the player not only more control over how they score the ball, but also how they counter those moves on the defensive end. That’s only the beginning. More impactful gameplay changes will be introduced along with the first NBA 2K22 Gameplay Reveal trailer coming out later in August.

  • OFFENSE – Breaking down defenders off the dribble with new signature moves and combos, precision jump shooting, dunking in traffic, and pulling off alley-oops have all become more skill-based. Basketball IQ and stick skills play an even bigger role in separating top offensive players.
  • DEFENSE – A completely revamped shot contest and blocking system highlight an arsenal of new defensive tools at your disposal. Playing suffocating defense on the perimeter and in the paint has never felt more rewarding, giving elite defenders the ability to truly change the outcome of the game.

SEASONS

Across fan-favorite experiences, Seasons allow players to extend and enhance their hoop ambitions long after the game’s launch. Free for all 2K22 gamers in MyTEAM, MyCAREER, and The W [PlayStation®5/Xbox Series X|S] modes, it brings more content, more rewards, and more ways to play. And this year, Seasons will introduce an all-new way to level up your MyPLAYER and earn exciting MyPLAYER prizes in the City [PS5™/XBS] and in the Neighborhood [PlayStation®4/Xbox One/Nintendo Switch/PC]. More details will be revealed about the expanding Seasons experience later in August.

MyTEAM

MyTEAM for NBA 2K22 evolves as the ultimate experience for building and competing with your own dream team on Day 1, but that’s not all. MyTEAM will continue to expand as each new Season drops.

  • CROSS-GEN PROGRESS & COLLECTION – While NBA 2K22 will offer two unique basketball experiences across the two console generations, MyTEAM progress and collections will be transferable between consoles that are within the same platform family [ie. PlayStation®4 to PlayStation®5 and Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S – and vice versa]. VC wallet, MyTEAM Point, and MyTEAM Token balances will be transferable within the same console families as well.

NEW CITY [PS5/XBS] & NEW NEIGHBORHOOD [PS4/XB1/NSW/PC]

The biggest online basketball community gets two very different makeovers in NBA 2K22.

  • ALL ABOARD THE 2K CRUISE [PS4/XB1/NSW/PC] – On the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC platforms, NBA 2K gamers will show out and compete in an all-new, dedicated basketball community – a Neighborhood built on the spacious decks of a sailing cruise ship. Explore and hoop in nautical luxury, and when the cruise docks in exotic locales throughout the Season, make your way to the Excursion counter to participate in shoreside Events – all taking place completely off the ship!
  • MORE NEWS AHEAD – More new features, more new content await all MyPLAYERs in both the all-new City and the new 2K22 Neighborhood. Stay tuned in early September to discover more.

MyNBA/MyWNBA [PS5/XBS]

In NBA 2K22, team management is about more than just the players on the court; it’s about the personnel that scout them, train them, and coach them. MyNBA/MyWNBA players can build the winningest franchise by making sure the staffing is just as strong as the hooping. More details will be shared in early September for how MyNBA/MyWNBA will improve and expand.
