    NBA 2K22 is still on the right track just like its predecessor once did. The gameplay has been polished even further, especially the defense, which has been corrected in several areas providing hence a good balance. Also, there has been a full remodeling of The Neighborhood. The game shines brightly by its own right and manages to squeeze out every last bit of the new consoles, which is reflected in its magnificent visuals.

    NBA 2K22 becomes king of the court for another year in a row, raising its gameplay and playable mechanics to the Olympus of basketball. However, he is severely hampered by his decisions in other game modes and his constant monetization.

    NBA 2K22 is good, undoubtedly that is undeniable. On current-gen, the game is fine and broadly follows what the next-gen version offers, minus the power and graphics quality. The latter offers challenging gameplay for novices but so much more balanced for purists. Finally, only VCs, untimely loading times (again) and a technical quality that is not always irreproachable in certain areas (facial expressions) to cast a little shadow on this new component, which cannot end elsewhere but at home if you like basketball... No revolution this year, though.

    NBA 2K22 is a surprisingly solid perennial release, refining and improving upon troublesome and dull mechanics with a generally more fun, accessible court experience. While its RPG ambitions are admirable, its quest system pales in comparison to the next-gen version. Overall, though, this current-gen version stands firmly on its own, offering a solid suite of modes and sweet basketball simulation.

    NBA 2K22 improves several gameplay mechanics like on ball defense, shot contest, dunks and block, alongside AI defense. Despite these improvements, there are still several historic technical issues, server problems on MyTeam, huge loading times, and there is the sense that all of the game modes push users to buy VCs to be competitive.

    The current-gen version of NBA 2K22 is a disappointing mess of much of the same we've seen the last few years, with the exception of a few very welcome upgrades to the gameplay. Still it is necessary to mention that asking for a full price with the lackluster support in all other segments is atrocious and sadly probably not worth your time if you played 2K21. If you are a newcomer though, gameplay changes are pretty good, and it still is the best basketball game you can afford right now.

    As a kid I used to love basketball and Michael Jordan, then for like 20 years I didn't give a damn about this sport. Then after "Last Dance"As a kid I used to love basketball and Michael Jordan, then for like 20 years I didn't give a damn about this sport. Then after "Last Dance" and "Winning Time" my interest returns. I grabbed NBA 2k22 and I had awesome time. I did not know most of the modern players but I could play as a legends from the old times. MyLeague is fantastic, but it was the MyTeam that really hooked me. I used to collect player cards so it was nostalgic ride for me. I tried MyCareer but it's rubbish.
    I'm not playing pvp and I do not spend any additional money. Monetization is irritating but the fantastic gameplay is more than enough to keep me hooked.    … Expand

    It's really sad that you need to spend at least $20 for a game that should be able to be fun for everyone.
