Use your peripherals

Hints

Even though basketball is a very fast-paced game, sometimes being the fastest is not always the best. You might think that you are the open one you have the ball, but a defender is a lot closer to you than you thought. This can lead to a block which will make you feel frustrated. Try to take a look at the court even before your player receives the ball to plan out your next move and to see where defenders are positioned.

How to take better shots

Hints

Playing a sporting game such as NBA 2k22 can get you amped up and full of adrenaline, this is not always a good thing, sometimes you will make worse decisions because of it. One of the best ways to improve your shooting skills is to slow things down a bit and make sure that when you are taking the shot, you are in the best position for it. Try to get those defenders away so that you can take a shot without fear of interference.

Shot meter for taking shots

Hints

Making sure of the location of your shot meter can be an important task because of the fast-paced environment, every second counts. So learning which side it appears on will help you make those three-pointer shots a lot easier. The shot meter will always appear on the side that is furthest away from the basket( furthest from the action), so if you were on the left of the basket, it will appear on the left of your player and vice versa.
