Jan 23, 2022Have played nba 2k since the dreamcast era and have to say I'm done. The gameplay is so slow and the a.i is terrible. The older generations might not have been perfect, but they were fun, this is not. Maybe its my age (I'm in my late 20's) but I doubt it. Sadly it's not just 2k, the whole AAA gaming industry sucks.

Oct 6, 2021The 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.

Oct 2, 2021NBA 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.

Sep 29, 2021NBA 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.
