    Gameplay vs AI is a mess. Scoring, Team movement, logical or even individual movement feels like a beta game state. 2k sloppier than EA for now. Btw: still heavy grind, pay2Proceed, and lots of useless efforts like the way too big and ridiculously useless and soulless city!! I don't wanna buy 19293993 under armour shirts, if the game core itself crumbles .

    LMAO at AnthonyDiMattia --> GIT Gud !!! gameplay is amazing : dribbling, defense, shot contest and block feel great.. cpu playing smarter on higher difficulty.. Broadcast cam is missing in MyNBA.. MyNBA is great mode.. Graphic look great..

    Good new modes, but can’t overcome the worst gameplay in 2k history. Good luck scoring on the A.I. and expect non stop off-ball defense when playing online

    NBA 2K22 on next gen, is awesome, with new features on the MyNBA mode, and improved gameplay. As well as new features in overall, It's basically one of the best basketball games when on Next Gen.

    NBA 2K22 offers very good gameplay mechanics, but the series’ focus on simply playing basketball is fading. In the story mode, the developers experiment with open world and put too much emphasis on side activities related to sponsors. As a result, the city in NBA 2K22 is a one big advertising billboard. Willingness to try new things is generally commendable, but this is not the way to do it. [12/2021, p.63]

    NBA 2K22 maintains the consistent quality of the series, but some of the old problems of the previous game and the unchanging game mode also makes the game experience lack of surprise.

    2K Games and Visual Concepts can finally breathe : NBA 2K22 is the episode of reconciliation. With a Career mode which has been enriched and is gradually transformed into a Second Life game with sport (be careful with off-topic anyway), the MyTeam mode which includes the Seasons system and gameplay which tends even more towards simulation, NBA 2K22 is clearly a really good game.
