Slow down the action - NBA 2K22: tips and tricks

The game, since the launch, has turned out a lot slower is reasoned than the previous chapter, all of this because of the way it all handles the loss of stamina. If you played last year, you will certainly be used to spamming dribbling moves (to use a more football than basketball term), so that you can land a three-point shot. Or maybe you used to get around your opponents thanks to fast players, so as to easily penetrate the defense of the other team. In NBA 2K22However, if you hold down the sprint button for too long, or attempt too many dribbles, your stamina will drop quickly.



This was certainly not a problem in last year's game, because it was still possible to make some good shots. Now, however, the shot indicator will be affected by the player's physical condition. This will make it more difficult to go to the basket, as well as widen the window of time in which the opponent can try to counter us. Therefore our advice is to slow things down, since having a good margin of resistance at the time of the shot will end up simplifying the situation for us. Play more conservatively, and we are sure you will be able to increase your chances of winning.

If you are an offline player, great help will be provided by changes made by defensive AI by Visual Concepts. In the past, defenders would throw themselves at you during a pickup, leaving their man exposed. This made it very easy to hunt for a three-sided shot, in case you had trouble getting the point. In NBA 2K22 this happens much more rarely, so da make the pick-and-roll action more like real basketball. Now it's all about being able to read the defense, so as to make the right choice.

If you call the center to attempt a pick, and his marker is thrown at you, throw the ball at him and let him face another defender. If the change of marking does not occur, take advantage of the free lane and go to the basket. It is just a matter of patience: if the marking does not change, or the lane does not clear, do not force the game and try again. Remember to play reasonably and slowly.
