There are several settings in NBA 2K22 that can be changed to give you more control during a game. Along with playing as the NBA stars on the court, you also can make coaching decisions from the sideline. One of the major decisions that you can make during a game is calling timeouts. Timeouts in a basketball game are used for various strategic reasons and can potentially determine the outcome of a game if used correctly. By default, this setting is set to automatic. This means your A.I. coach can call timeouts without your permission.
Use timeouts strategically.
When the other team starts to go on a large run or you start having too many turnovers, your coach might automatically call a timeout to stop the momentum from going to the other team. If you are down by one point with 10 seconds left on the clock, the coach again may call a timeout to move the ball up the court. This would put you in a better position to hit that winning shot. For some players, this is great because it helps manage the game. For others, this may not be the best setting because they may not want to burn their timeouts so early. Changing this setting will give you a little more control over the game and help with those unexpected timeouts that are called.
Follow these steps:
- Open “MY TEAM” tab
From the MyTeam home screen go over to the “MY TEAM” tab at the top of the screen.
- Go to “Lineups Management” and select your lineup
Once you are in the “MY TEAM” Menu, go to “Lineups Management” on the left.
- Scroll to “Coaching” and select “Coach Settings”
Scroll over to coaching at the top of the screen then scroll down to and select “coach settings.”
- In the coach settings menu, there will be the “Timeout” option with a default setting of auto. Change this to manual.
You will now be able to fully control when timeouts are called.
There are also a number of other settings in the “Coach Settings” menu that you should check out if you are trying to have more control of the coaching side of the game like substitutions and play calling. That’s pretty much all you have to do!
