And because NBA 2K MT shooting with the stick offers a little more sophistication than just distributing and releasing a button, it also conveys a greater risk/reward. If you can master shooting together with the Pro Stick, then you will have a higher ceiling for getting greens and making tough shots, so I am pretty sure it’s going to be the shot method of choice for many competitive 2K players. But since I know some will ask… yes, there is an option to disable Shot Aiming if you really wish to go back to last year’s controllers.

And a quick note for all the Park players… we’ve added over 40 new Park Jump Shot Landings for you to show off when you hit from out. Block targeting was improved so it’s going to be easier to send feeble shots back and we have loaded up more protection for contact at the paint to slow down moves like last year’s jump step layup.

This past year we introduced trademark dribble styles, which lent Magic Johnson his unique upcourt waddle, Steve Nash’s finger bends, plus much more. This upgrade has made its way on the defensive end using touch defensive motion styles. Here’s the list of players you can model your player’s movement after: Russell Westbrook, Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Pat Beverly, Andre Iguodala, and Draymond Green. In addition to this, movement has experienced several refinements, both with the ball without, to supply a more consistent and more responsive feel on the sticks.

Throughout the life of NBA 2K20, we gathered telemetry data that gave us a thorough breakdown of what badges people were equipping for specific build kinds, and which ones weren’t being used just as much. This was really useful in helping us redesign and tune the badges for NBA 2K21. I think you’ll find that more badges will possess merit and fight for a spot on your badge loadout, providing you more effective tools to take over games at a more diverse fashion.

And here’s some fantastic news I know the community will love. We eliminated Quick Draw and put release speed back into the Jump Shot Creator. So that’s one thing you won’t have to waste your precious badge points on. As always, I wish to give a massive shout out to all the gameplay engineers and producers, in addition to the talented team in VC South, that worked (and are still functioning ) tirelessly to deliver the best basketball game to date. The current gen versions of NBA 2K21 really are a step forward for virtual hoops, and stay tuned in the coming months for all the goodies we have in store for you on the Cheap NBA 2K21 MT next gen platforms.
