    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.

    Wow, frustrating as all heck. Newbie to this series and this game is horrible. Even on rookie setting while I am trying to learn. even makingWow, frustrating as all heck. Newbie to this series and this game is horrible. Even on rookie setting while I am trying to learn. even making an honest effort and even after reviewing the training sessions, defense is especially ridiculous. I try what I’ve practiced and still the opponent- again, on ROOKIE- exploits every weakness and scores. Penalties are way too sensitive. Every attempt to reach at the ball is a foul. Even when I stay defending my guy and have the CPU guarding the guy with the ball- quick to foul. But then when I am offense it’s almost the reverse. Even after practice sessions, I still find my team immaculately guarded when I’m on offense, even when I practice moves like the pick n roll. I give this game one star just for the cool graphics. But I haven’t been this quickly discouraged and frustrated upon starting a game in a long time. Would pursue a refund if I could. Terrible game.… Full Review »

    I could record a single season game, chop it into 30 second clips and be able to show you everything wrong with the gameplay. DownrightI could record a single season game, chop it into 30 second clips and be able to show you everything wrong with the gameplay. Downright idiotic shot iq, slow gameplay, fouls every 3 possessions at least just to name a few. You have to control every facet of the game for teammates to be able to score I am on the clippers and I’ll be lucky for kawhi and PG to go 7-20 shooting. Dudes will be wide open majority of the time and never make a shot. MyTeam is alright but at the end of the day it’s pay to win. I really hope 2K will actually see what people are saying for once and actually make a decent game for the first time in 5 years.… Full Review »
