I’m asking honestly: Does every sports video game have to be 10000% real with every aspect of the real thing?
I ask because NBA 2K23 has introduced hanging on the rim controls.
No, seriously! You can hang on the rim after a dunk! From their official site: “The controls are simple. Use one of the new rim-hang dunk gestures mentioned above when driving toward the hoop, but keep the Sprint trigger held when the player gets their hands on the rim. You’ll hang indefinitely as long as you keep the trigger held, and you can use the Left Stick to adjust the momentum of your swinging body and the Right Stick to pull yourself up on the rim.”
Cool, right? Except if you hang too long in certain situations, you get a technical foul, just like in real life.
