  • On-ball defensive stances and on-ball defensive situations have improved
  • More contested shots at the rim with new block system
  • Defense will feel much more rewarding and make the game more balanced

  • Dribbling has also improved significantly with new combos and signature moves
  • Emphasizes that NBA 2K22 feels more balanced offensively and defensively
  • Provides some additional details for Seasons in MyTEAM
  • Some details on the various archetypes
  • A lot of the gameplay features will be in both Gen 4 and Gen 5 systems, but the new systems will also receive better foot planting, movement and some new interesting features that will be announced a little later with alley-oops and dunks, which will require a bit of a skill mechanic

Mike also posted answers to some of the questions on Twitter, but deleted them all. Of course, posting anything on the Internet doesn’t just disappear. Our friends from r/NBA2K captured all of his tweets and responses here.
