This will be the last update before the NBA 2K23 release on September 8, 2022. Gracing the illustrious cover is Phoenix Suns star, Devin Booker. Joining is the GOAT, Michael Jordan, on the Championship and Michael Jordan Editions. Phoenix Mercury’s Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird of the Seattle Storm will be on the WNBA covers.
The gameplay will receive a myriad of tweaks, notably adrenaline boosts. Additionally, there are three available boosts per player, per possession, shown as three small bars under the stamina meter. Boosts are consumed every time you perform a hard go or explosive sprint launch. Once your three boosts are gone, you’ll notice that your speed and acceleration decrease significantly for the remainder of the possession. As with dribble combos, it’s important to play smart basketball and be efficient with your movement rather than zig-zagging back and forth aimlessly trying to get around the defense. A myriad of changes has also been made to the badge system. You can find the full details here.
