NBA 2K22 has a new patch that goes live on December 4. This patch may just change the landscape of the game.

The patch addresses a multitude of likeness issues for arenas and players. Some players are receiving new likeness updates to resemble their real-life counterparts. However, the biggest news of the update is the gameplay. Left-Righting will heavily be penalized in NBA 2K22.

Left-righting is a move that “dribble-gods” like to do. It involves them moving from left to right excessively before shooting a three. The reception of this move has been pretty split amongst the community. Some players love it while some players feel that it is an exploit. Wherever you stand on the matter, NBA 2K has seen the chatter and will now address it. Take a look at the full patch notes down here.
