NBA 2K22 Cheats and Tips

Here are our best cheats and tips for NBA 2K 22.

Don't skip out on the Training Game

You may be an avid player of the previous series of NBA games, or perhaps you're a beginner. Nevertheless, playing through the tutorial can help you learn how the game works, and perhaps make you aware if there are any new mechanics and changes made.

Things that you learn in the game's training game can be carried over to MyCareer as you gain more practice. You can then move on to other modes of the game in order for you to learn more techniques, or perhaps you can look up more tutorials online to help you become better.

Don't overwhelm yourself with memorizing moves

There are a lot of different moves that you'll have to learn in the game in order for you to become a better player. Things such as your movement, how you do your shots, defending, passing, and a lot more are needed in a game. If you're a beginner, try not to overwhelm yourself in learning all things in one go.

You can perhaps try to learn skills one at a time, two at a time, and so on. You can practice each skill that you learn in a match and know when it's best to use them. Once you're comfortable with the skill that you've learned, you can then add new things to learn and then use them as well. Keep learning at a steady pace, and you'll surely improve in your gameplay.

Be mindful of your player's stamina

Unlike the previous NBA games where things can be more fast paced, there are some changes in NBA 2K22 where your player's stamina can really affect your game. Running across the court and dribbling are part of the game of course, but doing it too often will lower your stamina.

So, what happens then if you don't have much stamina? Your shot meter will be reduced and releasing the ball will slow down. This will make it harder for you to score points, since your enemy will be able to intercept your shots. It would be best for you to reserve your stamina and use sprints sparingly.

Practice with the different modes

There are different modes that you can choose from in the game that can help you practice your skills. Perhaps you can try out triple threat or domination in order for you to hone your shots. Things may be easier when battling versus AI opponents, but this can help you out with your hand and eye coordination as well as timing.

Completing modes also grant you rewards which can help you in your progression. Practicing through the different modes in the game can also help you out with honing your movement, as well as familiarize yourself on how things should pan out during a match. You can then bring the skills you learned later on when battling real people.

When playing MyCareer, choose a build that suits your gameplay

Everyone has different quirks in terms of how they play a game. Some people like things fast paced, while others prefer precision and good timing. When starting out MyCareer, you'll be checking out different builds available for your player. You can find builds online, but it would also be good for you to try things out yourself.

Do you prefer offensive play or perhaps defensive? Do you like team coordination? There are a lot of possibilities that can suit your play style, so when editing your players, make sure to do a lot of experimentation. Otherwise, you can still look at some builds online made by other players that have explanations on how they work, this can also be a good way for you to get to the game faster.

Change the settings to suit your needs

The game has default settings in terms of how you play your game. This can include the difficulty, as well as the time it takes for each game. Perhaps you want to enjoy some offline play and learn the game, so why not increase the time it takes for a match to finish?

You can also adjust different things to your liking such as changing your jersey number, the color of your shot meter, and more. If things get too easy for you as you play, you can ramp up the difficulty through the settings as well in order to challenge yourself further.

Take time to improve your shots

Timing in this game is crucial especially if you're trying to do specific shots such as jump shots. Unlike previous games where the input may be easier, there are changes in NBA 2K22 where things are done more realistically. Try to practice offline and check how the power sliders move in this game so you can get a grasp of the timing.

Another way for you to improve some shots is by altering the settings such as the speed of your shots. You can make them fast or slow, it's all up to you. Pick a speed that's comfortable for you, and something that is easy for you to successfully make shots with no problems.

Take note of your team's positioning

Throughout the game, there can be some decisions that you'll have to make in a short span of time. Your decisions can be affected as well by the positioning of your team. Are they close together? Or perhaps too far apart? Perhaps you'll need to pass the ball but everyone is in a close location, this will limit your choices in terms of movement.

With this in mind, try to change the positions of your players in order for you to adjust as the game progresses. You can have your team spread properly so you can pass the ball when needed, or perhaps you can change positions so your opponent has no idea on what you'll do next.

Reduce your opponent's movement

While you're on the field, things may go along your way or maybe it won't. If the enemy has the ball, then of course your goal is to get the ball back, right? If you don't have the chance yet to get the ball back, then you still have the choice of limiting what the enemy team can do.

Try to box out your opponent's team in order to limit their choices. They may not be able to pass the ball well on a specific lane, or perhaps they'll make a mistake that will give you the chance to make your move to put the game back on your side. Remember that boxing out your opponent can be done with any of your team players, so keep this practice in play.
