Such a big big disappointment hearing current and next gen will be basically the same gameplay wise.

I did hope that the launch of next gen was the opportunity to redisign and improve some of the core mechanics, including rating and tendency systems, as well as to get a big leap in CPU AI thanks to the new hardware.

But it seems that it won't be the case... they will just focus on pleasing the "community" who don't give a f* about realistic bball.

I already skipped 2k21 and honestly I wonder if I will ever buy a Nba 2k title again.

Re: Info from Beluba

Yeah, definitely to read that current and next gen are much more similar gameplay wise compared to last year is highly disappointing when I was expecting exactly the opposite...

It's a pity to be limited by 10-years old tech even though we can understand the reasons behind it...

More info about dribbling

Re: Info from Beluba

I'm glad that they are keeping the gameplay the same and not pull an EA. There are still people out there that don't have NEXT GEN systems. So why leave them out with the experience?

Besides what can 2k do to make the gameplay more next gen? Actual physics? I don't think they are willing to start over....

Re: Info from Beluba

Did he say more info in a few weeks? Doesn't the game release in a few weeks? When developers are this quiet it's never a good thing.

Hopefully that means the whole Road to 99 grind is out. I still expect to see the pay wall with starting from 60 OVR. But, they do have to at least lessen up on either the grinding or pay wall. Either allow us to start from. 70-75 OVR or make the grind less strenuous. I thought this past year would have been my first time to 99. But once I got to 95 and realized how many more games you have to play to get to 99 plus having to win to maintain it, made me lose interest. Once I get to a point where I max all the badges and knock out the primary ratings, I'm not getting any "better" after 92-93 OVR. So, I just want to be able to just play to enjoy not to keep grinding.

There's 2 full weeks before release week where you will see some get early copies. I expect to get gameplay, MyTeam, miscellaneous next week, then end of the last week of this month we should get the MYNBA and MyCareer news.

Yeah, a lot of animations may be similar but the physics will still be different.

Re: Info from Beluba

So no more hesi with holding the right stick? This game sounds like it’s honestly going to be awful when we actually hear about it 24h before release

Sounds good to me. Back to how it was before - holding the stick in any direction equals shooting.

Thank the hoops lords.

I haven’t played a 2K like that as I learned on 21.

How do you prevent accidental shots from being taken when doing dribble moves? I actually like how it is but I don’t know any better I guess.

Sticks were flicked and not held in multi directions to perform dribble moves in 2k20 and previous entries, with the help of trigger modifiers to add more options.

Up for signature dribbles. Left and right for hesi. Back/back left for behind the backs. RT and back for step backs etc etc

Re: Info from Beluba

Not gonna lie. If shot is aim is gone, that makes me happy.

For me who couldn’t use it.

For my opponent who could green everything with it.
