How to buy, equip and get animations in NBA 2K22?
In order to buy animations, you have to go to the animations store in the game. First, open up the menu and select the MyPLAYER option and then click on the ANIMATION option menu.

Click on the move style you want to change, and a pop-up window will appear where you will be able to equip the move you want from the list of owned moves. That’s it. Your character will now show off his new moves when you play the main game next time. Hope this tutorial helped you. Have fun showing off those new moves!
