Bring it to the ground with the Dribble Engine
This is probably the biggest update to the NBA 2K series we’ve seen in a long time. The new Dribble Engine changes the way players handle the basketball, allowing for an unprecedented level of control. Players can now perform a wider variety of dribbling moves with greater precision, including advanced crossovers, behind-the-back moves, and quick changes of direction. The Dribble Engine is also integrated into the game’s physics engine, allowing for realistic ball handling that faithfully reflects the movements of basketball stars.
