    This is is a really good game in my opinion. BTW 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.

So far the game feels like your sliding around the court on ice skates but the thing is it's as if u have never skated before in your life an shooting is almost impossible for those who who are just playing the game casually ... Seems like 2k would rather cater to the video makers an people who make a living off playing games rather than the majority who buy the game and can't blow tons of money on the game to have decent players so if u can't shoot u can atleast do something to get a win in these laggy online modes where it feels like ur skating around the arena... Hope it gets better for switch users most other users seems to be happy it seems so I guess it is what it is… Expand

    Exactly what you don’t want in a console sports game. Feels like their mobile games where it’s all about my team but now with the added limit of your cards expire and you now need contract cards to extend them. Most modes don’t work offline which is the point of the switch. Play anywhere. Does it seem like EA is a failing company at this point?

NBA 2015 or really any earlier EA NBA game is better than this game. For playability probably the worst since SNES… Expand

    Just a Horrible game !!! Micro transactions everywhere in mycareer and the defense controls sucks..there's no way I can stop my player from sliding during on ball defense and the caps on the players are ridiculous.

    Can't play modes like mycareer or myteam without internet. Also, playing mycareer seems laggy, frame rate drops and it is impossible to defend.

    I think that this is still a nicely done port or version of the game, while it is compromised with less features graphics-wise, the game is still playable with no real problems, especially when we talk about playing it on a hand-held mode, nothing beats that yet.

    It does not deserve the very low score some people here are throwing at it.

    Not much improvement can be found compared to my NBA 2K18. Even MyCareer mode needs Internet connection now????? why the hell do you think I bought it on Switch???? RIDICULOUS.

    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 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.

    We’re at that point with sports games where all the focus goes into the new consoles and every year out is one step closer to ‘legacy’ editions. 2K22 isn’t there yet, but it’s not far off. If you want to play basketball, it’s still solid this year, at the very least. If you want to check out the open-world online cruise ship that still thirsts for your money, hop on board.
