    NBA 2K22 is an actual upgrade in relation to the previous version. The game is more realistic, immersive, and full of quality of life upgrades, boasting several different modes to play and a beefy story in the Career mode, all making it a decent addition for anyone who needs a sports game with plenty to do.

    NBA 2K22 is another fine entry in the franchise that continues the developer's habit of delivering satisfyingly solid ports of their basketball sims on Nintendo Switch. Yes, most of the modes don't try anything massively new — beyond MyCareer's revamped Neighbourhood setting — and the loading screens will have you pulling your hair out from time to time, but refined core gameplay and enough content to keep you playing until the end times make this one an easy recommendation for b-ball fans.

    NBA 2K22 is another good entry in the fantastic NBA 2K series. Its reworked shooting mechanics, impressive visuals on Switch, and loads of NBA content will keep any basketball fan’s attention for hours on end. While many modes received no noticeable additions, and there’s a heavy desire for spending money on microtransactions, NBA 2K22 is still a must-play for Switch basketball fans.

    It does not deserve the very low score some people here are throwing at it. I give it 10 minus 2 points because some modes are only available while you are connected to internet.    … Full Review »
