Calling Plays in NBA 2K22 PS4: From Anarchy to Orchestra Conductor

Feeling like your team's offense resembles a runaway train after a clown convention? Fear not, fellow ballers! Unleashing your inner Coach Kerr and calling plays in NBA 2K22 can turn your squad from laughingstock to championship contenders. But before you grab your whistle and fedora, here's a breakdown on how to call plays like a pro (or at least someone who doesn't accidentally call a timeout during a free throw).

Method 1: The Quick Strike (D-Pad Left)

This is your fast food option for calling plays. Just tap left on the D-pad and you'll see your favorite plays displayed. These are plays you've set beforehand, perfect for situations where you need a quick bucket or want to unleash your signature "Alley-Oop Surprise" with LeBron and Dwight Howard (because that's a totally real play, right?).

Word to the wise: Don't be that guy who only has self-alley-oop plays as his favorites. Mix it up with some pick-and-rolls, post-ups, or anything that doesn't involve you chucking up a prayer every possession.

Method 2: The Maestro's Touch (L1 + Player Button)

This method is where things get fancy. Hold down L1 and then press the button corresponding to the player you want to run the play for (X for point guard, O for shooting guard, etc.). This brings up a menu of plays specifically designed for that player's skillset.

Imagine the possibilities! Isolating your superstar with "Iso-God" or setting a pin-down screen for your knockdown shooter with "Corner Splash"? The world (or at least the virtual basketball court) is your oyster!

Pro tip: Not all players have an equal selection of plays. Your superstars will have a Shakespearean sonnet's worth of options, while your rookies might be limited to "Stand Around and Hope for a Pass."

Play Vision: See the Lines, Not Just the Hype

Play calling is all well and good, but what if you can't decipher the hieroglyphics that magically appear on the court after calling a play? Fear not, grasshopper! Head to Options > Gameplay > Coaches Settings. Under Play Vision Display, make sure you have it set to "Full". This will show you exactly where your teammates are supposed to be according to the play.

Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.Help reference icon

Now you can be the conductor of your team's offensive symphony, not a confused audience member wondering why everyone's standing around like lost puppies!
