2K Sports has told us the keys about the novelties of this year’s delivery, where ProPLAY stands out
That time of the year in video games is here when the vast majority of sports titles are released. For someone like me, it’s a love-hate moment, because I love all these games, but once they’re installed on my consoles and PC, I have a hard time playing other things throughout the year. Be that as it may, and with the permission of Madden 24 that will kick off this month of August, in September one of the great colossi of this season arrives: NBA 2K24.
This edition will be known for using that “24” to honor Kobe Bryant, of which 3 years have passed since his death in a helicopter accident on January 26. However, there is more on the menu than symbiosis with Black Mamba.
3DJuegos was invited to a presentation of the news regarding gameplay of the new installment, in which the director of gameplay Mike Wang gave us some of the big news of the new installment. It is difficult to give an impression of these settings until you can test the title, but you can glimpse the overview of 2K in its changes.
Lots of changes and lots of adjustments
And perhaps the most accurate summary of all the tweaks and novelties that Wang told us is that of adapt the game experience to each difficulty and each mode. It’s not that it’s different to play MyCareer in the City than MyTeam and a Franchise mode with an easy difficulty to pass the time, it’s that the players expect different things in each of them.
For this reason, the difficulty in the shot will be changed again according to the level of complexity chosen, but also according to the mode. Wang tells us that when playing as a team controller, NBA 2K will be more forgiving with timing. In the same way, a similar work will be done with the trays, while the system for marking plays will be redone to add customization and accessibility (we can choose one of the 16 that we have previously selected, or ask the CPU for the most suitable one for the situation).
But this does not mean that the game is going to be easier, because 2K is going to put the accent on a very important part of basketball that until now did not have this skill ceiling in the video game. We are talking about game without ballkey to stars like Stephen Curry, who has been completely redone with improved controls, accelerations and improvements in the indirect blocking system.
In return, risk/reward has been added to defense. Blocks now need better timing and will leave you sold out, while directional steals arrive, which will be executed with the right stick, and will reward whoever uses the hand near the dribble, or hits when the ball is most insecure.
Although I, as a Franchise mode player, celebrate some other highly requested news for a long time. Specifically, the one that will be made to the substitution AI: now it will be more flexible and will prioritize always having scorers on the court. In the same way, the option will be given to modify the quintets to close the matches, which do not have to be the initial ones.
ProPLAY is coming to change 2K forever
Calendar of news for NBA 2K.
With the session over, Wang announced to us a one more thing. He commented that it was something he had wanted for a long time and that it will finally come in NBA 2K. Ironically, it turns out that it is also the biggest novelty of the other great sports simulator of the moment such as EA Sports FC 24.
Because yes, NBA 2K24 has had access to technology that allows it to capture movements directly from sports broadcasts; just what Hypermotion V allows EA Sports FC and what so much hype and cymbal was announced from Electronic Arts a few weeks ago. The code name is ProPlay and it will only be available in new generation.
Until now NBA 2K required players to attend motion capture sessions with mock-up suits, which will no longer happen. Wang gave us the example of Kevin Durant, someone with a very particular shot and who was never able to stop by the Visual Concepts offices to recreate his mechanics. It is the definitive step of the classics signature moves of the franchise.
