    Finally a playable game. Compared to 2Ks that were released in the past 5 years, this is the relatively most reasonable game. The offense and defense balance was the strength of this game, but after the Season 2 patch, the game became more offensive. But the defense still exists and the game is pretty enjoyable.

    Gra zaczyna być swego typu rozgrywką dla zabicia czasu. Gra w MyPlayer nie daje już takiej przyjemności z gry i możliwości wciągnięcia się w swoją historię, ponieważ mamy znowu umówiony scenariusz i ciężko się utożsamiać z bohaterem.

    It is fine. No big improvements, but there is only so much you can do in one year. Not too exciting.

    It appears that NBA 2K has finally started to take the “next step” into greater gaming possibilities. Though MyPlayer needs a good amount of tuning and streamlining before reaching the heights of past story modes, it hints at bigger things down the line. But, based solely on the thrilling, beautiful, on-court presentation and gameplay, 2K22 is still a tremendous achievement.

    NBA 2K22 is probably best entry that the series has seen in many years. On the court everything flows exactly as it should with many improvements from last year. Unfortunately, microtransactions are still rampant everywhere in the game, and to be able to compete online with your created character or in MyTeam you're almost forced to spend money if you actually want to be competitive. If you have skipped the series in the last year or two, it may be time to take a look now. It is not best of all time, but it has taken a very big step in the right by listening suggestions from its players.

    NBA 2K22 has a few things that make this upgrade feel worthy. The new play mechanics are excellent, and it continues to excel on the presentation front. The microtransactions are still super gross and I wish some of the other modes such as Blacktop would get a proper overhaul as they are starting to feel dated. Still being the only NBA game in town it does upgrade nicely. I found myself deleting the old version to play this one, and not being a huge NBA fan that is saying something.
