    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Do not buy this game if you do not have current Gen. It is just scraps of the current generations game . They changed the shot meter after letting you get used to the old one and just expect you to be happy about it , then it's the same bullcrap as last year with just 2k22 printed on the front . I have only had this game for a day and I already know it's not worth the money your gonna spend on this trash in a case. So in conclusion they just put a great player on the front just so the game can be trash… Expand

    Dear 2K
    Please stop producing games, fullstop,
    Your time is up it's not 1995, you have run your course Move on, maybe go into elevator music, as it seems that's what your games have become.
    This rubbish is not enjoyable I would rather ram Car into a wall.

    I have played every NBA 2k since 2k8 and it's starting to get blatantly offensive how little love is shown for the longtime players and more importantly long time customers of this franchise. The priority is clearly focused on the my team and my player game modes where players can be squeezed to shell out more money on top of the 70 bucks they payed for the game already.

    On top of this    I have played every NBA 2k since 2k8 and it's starting to get blatantly offensive how little love is shown for the longtime players and more importantly long time customers of this franchise. The priority is clearly focused on the my team and my player game modes where players can be squeezed to shell out more money on top of the 70 bucks they payed for the game already.

    On top of this lackluster gameplay "improvements" which seems to be fixing something broken from the last game, (such as nearly every shot taken at the end of the clock without a timing bar going in) and then breaking something that was fine in the last game. In this editions case the most apparent is an offensive and defensive player bumping into each other usually at mid court and stumbling back with the same animation which results in a foul call that is seemingly randomly attributed to either player.
    Or problems just haven't been fixed at all, like the coaches challenge which has been totally broken and glitchy since its inception. A game such as NBA 2k that relies almost entirely on animations does not lend itself to a challenge system when there are specific foul animations in the game. And also raises questions of fouls being intentionally called incorrectly to warrant challenging.

    The menu system is also abhorrently glitchy and has been for the last few titles. The play now menu is riddled with glitches that vary from a black screen where nothing other than the lineups are visible and changing jerseys is impossible, to the randomise function being sporadically unavailable.

    Without a true rival to 2k studios on the NBA front I don't think there's any end in sight to the greedy yearly installments which are essentially new coats of paint with neglegable additions and "improvements" to the title from the year before.    … Expand

    Usually games get better 2k22 has degraded. I switched to jokic in the paint and kd beat me to the rim from past the free throw line. That's a joke right?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At first i was excited to try a new game franchise that i have never played before but while i started play I saw that this game is very unwelcoming to new players like me. Once I started to get the controls down in my head I had fun playing the exhibition mode. BUT that is the only thing I enjoy about this game. MyCareer sucked, MyTeam is a cashgrab in disguise, and the shot meter makes me want to pull my hair out. If you like exhibition modes in sports games than go for it, but if you are a newcomer than be warned, you'll have a rough time playing this game.… Expand

    NBA 2K22 exceeds what was achieved in the previous year, and although it does not represent a radical change for the franchise, it has everything necessary to satisfy NBA fans. For better and for worse, the game has everything players love about NBA 2K, but also everything they hate.
