Can you take your shirt off in 2K22?

Trying to go shirtless with your NBA 2K22 MyPlayer? It’s been a popular option in previous editions of the game, and returns for 2K22. However, many people are wondering how to go shirtless in the game. It takes a little bit of time and effort to get there. In this guide, we’ll give you the full details on how to get your shirt off in 2K22.

MyPlayer career path can take place in The City or Neighborhood

The NBA 2K22 MyPlayer is a customized baller you create for the MyCareer mode. You’ll be able to make them exactly how you want, complete with hairstyle, eye color, facial hair, build, and attributes. You can even scan your face into NBA 2K22 to make it just like you.

Once you’ve done that, you can launch MyCareer. It’ll include choosing a college for your MyPlayer and participating in games. Once you’ve selected a college, you’ll progress to the NCAA Tournament. After that, you should get the menu below for playing in the college tournament or you can choose to go into 2K22’s Neighborhood or The City.

So you’ve done your NBA 2K22 MyPlayer face scan and customized your player to become a future star. Now it’s time to get some gear and get some games in. Many players want to know how to remove their shirts in NBA 2K22.

To do so, you’ll need to start playing some 2-v-2 games in Neighborhood (PS4/Xbox One/Switch/PC) or The City (PS5, Xbox Series X). For Neighborhood, find this on Deck 15 of Cancha Del Mar. Preferably, you’ll want to run with a squad for these games. This helps with the process of getting games done.

You’ll need to play quite a few games too. The requirement to unlock the shirtless option in 2K22 for your MyPlayer is to complete 25 of the 2 vs. 2 games. Still, for avid 2K gamers, this shouldn’t take all that long to complete.

Where to find the shirtless option for your player

Once you’ve unlocked the shirtless option for your NBA 2K22 MyPlayer, you’ll need to equip it. To do so, go to your appearance options. Go to the Clothes tab and find your collection of shirts.

You’ll need to scroll all the way to the right in your shirts collection. There you will see the option for “Shirtless.” Choose this by pressing the appropriate button on the NBA 2K22 controller. You’ll now have your shirt off when you use your MyPlayer.

It’s really as simple as the instructions above. Check out the quick YouTube video below for more details about how to get your shirt off in NBA 2K22.

In NBA 2K22’s The City, you have the option to walk around, play Park games without a shirt on your body. But, much like with other features in MyCareer and The City, you will need to unlock the ability to access this feature. How can you do that? Complete a quest.

In order to take your shirt off in The City, you will need to complete the Take Your Shirt Off quest. This quest won’t show up immediately in your queue, however. To find this quest, you will first need to play at least five 2v2 games in The Park. The Park courts can be found in various outdoor locations throughout The City, and each Affiliation has one set of courts.

Once you’ve played five 2v2 Park games, you will then need to find ATM. ATM can be found right in-between the NBA store and Club 2K.

Talk to him, and he will give you the new quest.

Once you’ve done that, you will be able to complete the Take Your Shirt Off quest. All you will have to do is to play complete 25 2v2 games, in any of the four Affiliation areas.

After completing this quest, you will have the option to walk around The City without a shirt. To actually take your shirt off, pause the game and enter The City menu. Go to the MyPlayer section, and then select Appearance. Select The City, and then pick the Top clothing option. You should then see an option to go shirtless.

NBA 2K22 is all about having your own style and for some, that means letting it all hang out. Players who have covered their bodies in tattoos are looking to show them off by going shirtless.
