    It's safe to say that NBA 2K22 is a very good game. The gameplay has improved. There are new features. But I honestly feel that could be more. But overall, NBA 2K22 is a very solid, polished basketball game.

    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 usedAs a kid I used to love basketball and Michael Jordan, then for like 20 years I didn't give a damn about this sport.

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

    That's the bar for all sports games. This game is just beautiful. It's basically impossible to try everything that it offers, I think this is the most replayble sports game of all time.

    I liked it very much. And guys It's so disturbing and unhelpful to see so many guys rate 0 on many game that they don't like. It completely ruins the point of the rating system. Please be fair guys.

    Its like they took the gameplay of 2k20, improved it. took a seperate path from the trash game that 2k21 was, and actually made the game good. not only to mention the tons of new additions to the map, to mycareer in general.

    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.

    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 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.
