NBA 2K22 City Slam How to Play

First, you'll have to activate the quest for NBA 2K22 City Slam, as far as we can tell, there's only one way to do this and it's through your friend Ricky.

Ricky will tell you about some rooftop courts where familiar faces Hendrix Cobb and Junior are hosting a "tournament". From there the quest will activate and you can follow it to the court.

The location for the City Slam tournaments will start with your local Affiliation. If you're a member of the South City Vipers, that's where you'll start.

Building your City Slam Team

Building your NBA 2K22 City Slam team is a lot of fun, essentially, the players you beat become players you can pick up in 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 games. This includes actual NBA players.

Team composition is huge here, so you'll want to make sure you get a good balance of the right players for each matchup. Depending on your NBA 2K22 build, you'll need the right players to compliment your style.
