NBA 2K20 Dev Tweets: Contact Dunk Requirements, and more
August 23rd, 2019Ronnie tweeted out a number of things the 2k developers are looking into based on community feedback and possibly changing before the game release.
They have already confirmed increased the shot meter size and nerfed Quick First Step blow bys for the official release.
Close Shot rating affects shots in the 5-10 foot range. To give you an idea of that range, the paint is 16 feet wide and extends 15 feet from the basket to the free throw line.
Controls for dunking with the ProStick are slightly different in NBA 2K20.
New visual indicators that let you know when the ball is vulnerable to being stolen and new stamina indicators. This should help with learning when you should hold left trigger to protect the ball.
2k devs had to remove the restrictions on jumpshots for taller and heavier players but they are still planning some nerfs to keep stretch bigs from becoming too overpowered.
