The makers of the popular video game NBA 2K announced a bevy of new features and upgrades to the highly-anticipated NBA 2K23, set to launch in September. Fans will be treated to new, more in-depth ways to customize their avatars, as well as a revamped system for dunking and handling the ball.
Gameplay Director at Visual Concepts Mike Wang explained some of these features in a press release today, stating, “From focusing on how players can attack the basket, to more realistic on-ball defense and a new tiered badge system, all the features we’ve brought to life in the game this year will create a more authentic gameplay experience that is enjoyable for everyone.”
This new list of gameplay options expands on some of the nuggets we learned last month at the official launch of NBA 2K23. Let’s explore some of these features a little further.

The latest addition of NBA 2K will give users even greater control when shooting, dribbling, and dunking the ball. This allows for more customization and greater variety in gameplay.
Shooting mechanics will be updated by way of five new shot meters, along with an additional 15 that can be unlocked over time. The use of the Gesture Combos and the Pro Stick have also been adapted, granting more control for players as they craft their ideal shooting style.
Dunking the ball will also look pretty different in 2K23. New button combos and stick moves offers even more control over how and when players dunk the ball, and what sort of dunk they land. Users can even decide how long they hang on the rim.
Finishing with a lay-up will look different, too. Size and strength will be better accounted for when completing a lay-up, so players like LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo will affect defenders more than slimmer builds. Likewise, lay-up packages have been added for big names like Ja Morant, as well as the game’s own cover athletes like Devin Booker, and Diana Taurasi.
The ability to breakdown defenders and size up an opponent have also been revamped, giving users new ways to score the ball with style. Don’t worry, though defense and adrenaline have also been tweaked to maximize realism and smooth gameplay.
Enhanced capabilities
The makers of NBA 2K23 announced further additions to the next iteration of the game. On top of enhanced moment to moment play, several new features have been amended or added.
