2K reveals new features coming to NBA 2K22

More reveals to come in the months leading up to the release

Last week, 2K announced the arrival of NBA 2K22, its latest iteration of the best-selling NBA basketball simulation video game. As with every new 2K game, the developers look to improve more aspects from the previous version. This time around, they already have a ton of new features and improvements across all platforms the game will be available in.

A sneak peek into what’s new

Let’s get to the new things they added into the game, starting with Seasons. Essentially, Seasons will serve as new and exciting content for all players of the game post-launch. Think of it like it’s DLC, with more rewards and more ways to play the game in the future. Now, this is a free next-gen feature for NBA 2K22 players on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Also, it will only apply to the MyTEAM, MyCAREER, and The W game modes for those versions.

Next up, we have some changes coming to The City or The Neighborhood. For the next-gen console owners, 2K envisions a new City landscape teeming with interactions for players. Along with this, they’ve also included a new Quest system to engage players with creative content and rewards. Meanwhile, for current-gen console and PC owners, get ready to show out on a sailing cruise ship!

Finally, as customary with every new 2K game, MyCAREER will come with new ways to enhance the story and experience. For one,  NBA 2K22 will introduce a Hidden Talents feature that allows you to pursue side ventures as you tread your NBA career. Also, you will now have the chance to expand your personal hub within the City depending on your profile and ambitions.

Some gameplay improvements

Along with these new features, NBA 2K22 will also bring improvements to the overall gameplay experience. Although, they are saving some more gameplay changes for the official reveal in August. For now, here’s what we got: on-the-court gameplay improvements.

In terms of on-the-court gameplay, 2K focused on improving several aspects to both offense and defense. On the offensive side of the ball, they’re planning to introduce new signature moves and combos to break down defenders. Also, they added skill-based mechanics for precise jump shots, dunks, and alley-oops. Essentially, they want you to focus on how well you move the sticks.

On defense, they’re introducing a revamped shot contest and blocking system. While there were no specifics on how these mechanics will work, 2K wants to provide a more rewarding system to elite defenders out there.

NBA 2K22 will arrive on September 10, 2021 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and the PC.

PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.

Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.

By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.

(The driver can be downloaded here.)

The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.

Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.

Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.

Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.

if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
