There are a number of 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 have the ability to 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.
