NBA 2K24 reveals new features in first gameplay trailer
There’s less than a month to go until NBA 2K24 launches in September, and now we finally have a gameplay trailer that brings the hype.
With NBA 2K24′s launch set for September, developers 2K and Visual Concepts have shared a new gameplay trailer that goes into detail about what to expect when the newest iteration of the franchise arrives on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
ProPLAY, as the developers are calling their new system, brings the gameplay incredibly close to the movements of the real players of the NBA on which the title is based. These new gameplay enhancements go from making offense intuitive, skill-based defense, coaching, Takeovers and more.
Gameplay Director at Visual Concepts Mike Wang said in the game’s official blog: “Our commitment to evolving the NBA 2K experience based on community feedback is a big reason why dedicated players and basketball fans have continued to play the game for the past 25 years. We’ve delivered NBA 2K24 gameplay enhancements that are more skill-based and intuitive, accelerating the gameplay experience for the entire community.”
What’s new with NBA 2K24′s ProPLAY?
- Intuitive offense: Shooting and dribbling are more accessible and intuitive than ever before, enabling players of all skill levels to flourish on the court. The moves have been customized and improved to serve any difficulty, and the ability to initiate electrifying dribbling sequences will help players create more space for high percentage shots.
- Skill-based defense: Counter moves are big in NBA 2K24. Perimeter and paint defense are both more effective and reward players for anticipating and making good reads.
- Adrenaline Boosts: Redesigned to make both offense and defense more engaging. Elite ball handlers will find more freedom to create while effective defenders can impact shooting abilities by locking ball handlers down.
- Coach with ease: 2K Smart Play is back on New Gen to help players streamline their offense, defense, and coaching to make it easy to call plays. Choose up to 16 preferred actions ranging from full plays to isolations and give-and-gos.
- Takeovers: Takeover returns for New Gen consoles in NBA 2K24 but with a new twist. Fill up the Takeover meter and then choose to activate either your Finishing, Shooting, Playmaking, Physicals, Defense and Rebounding abilities.
NBA 2K24 is scheduled for release on September 8 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Check out the Top 10 players in it according to their in-game ratings.
