This decision to return to a traditional shooting system also allows for NBA 2K22 MT Coins an increased level of precision and detail while using dribble moves. There were many times it happened that in NBA 2K21 did I activate the 'Pro Stick' by accident, only to throw up an unbalanced, airball. It's worth noting that alley-oops require timed button presses to be completed.

The process of throwing the lob may be simple enough, however, the finishing player must press the 'shoot' button once in the green section of the timing meter , in order to hit the ball. While I don't feel it's necessary but I appreciate the need for the same level of finesse and skill, even though they're not extremely difficult during a game that is moment-to-moment.

On the defensive side, the biggest improvement is in the form of a redeveloped method of blocking shots. I had a feeling that blocking in previous NBA 2K titles felt lifeless and, ultimately, subject to changing. Due to improved animations as well as the smoother flow and motion, blocks are precise and powerful, lending some much-needed toughness to the game's great centers, that I believe had never been properly portrayed as a threat prior to this.

Try playing Wilt Chamberlain's Lakers or Bill Russell's Celtics and you'll be able to see what I'm talking about. The feeling of accuracy and realism extends to mid-air confrontations, as players inside the ring seem more natural and natural in motion.

Highlight reels in the past were often damaged or straight up ruined with sloppy animations, leaving my large men with the appearance of MT 2K22 PS4 frozen robots in the air. In NBA 2K22 players reach, swat, and defend in a manner that just feels more natural and therefore effective in the majority of defensive situations.
