"Leveraging machine-learning technology, ProPLAY powers an all-new Motion Engine in NBA 2K26, making actions feel more lifelike and realistic across all on-court movement," 2K said. "Dynamic lower-body pose matching adjusts the exact positioning of players' legs and feet on the fly and ensures they launch, plant and cut realistically."

ProPLAY was introduced for NBA 2K24 with the goal of converting actual NBA footage over to the game. It continues to build each year with more and more footage as the technology leverages machine-learning.
