    Good review here. I pretty much agree with everything and I am also VERY HAPPY you mentioned the camera issue in myNBA. Hoping this is fixed soon!

      LOL the best 2K in years is...

      Unrealistic dribble spam by 6’3 and under guards, OP chase down blocks, OP blocks in general in fact (goaltending anyone???), the easiest shooting game 2K have ever produced, a broken contest system, OP animation based passing lane steals, gameplay way too fast, whites going in non stop, ball hogging that doesn’t drain stamina, much slower passing compared to previous years

      And the list goes on....

      This is a terrible, low skill game. The more you play it, the worse you realise it actually is

            The review pretty much nailed my thoughts perfectly. The park/pro-am/rec stuff is still not realistic, but it never really has been. To their credit though, they've hit a a spot in balancing the game that has made this the most fun I've had with a 2K game since probably 2K11.

            2K is my most played game pretty much every year, and I've already played about half as much of 2K22 as I did 2K21; I haven't been this hooked on a sports game in a long time.

              Fantastic review.

              The fun factor is top notch this year, my frustrations have been on the technical side.

              Have played this enough to get the side eye from the Mrs when I turn it on [emoji38]

                Then why are you still playing it? Sounds like u play online and don’t like how they play so it’s 2Ks fault [emoji23] in my experience when I think something sucks I get rid of it…… just a suggestion lol

                      I get those disconnect messages allllll the time. Is there any fix? It’s becoming a chore to find a game and then have the game count

                        As a MYNBA guy who waits until a week or two into the regular season IRL to start (waiting on roster updates and sliders) I kinda despise the rest of it. I play mycareer as a time killer before I start MyNBA and to get a few trophies. The City stuff just isn’t for me really and I hate the unrealistic park play in the wonky PG GTA like city. Until I can really dive into MYNBA I won’t know how I truly feel about the game. I’ve always the park/online people should have a separate game all together.

                            Great gameplay for sure, I love it.

                            Only thing holding it back for me is the missing cameras, which is ridiculous and hilarious at the same time

                              For PNO, 2K21 Next Gen. Despite the bugs, fundamentally the gameplay was superior to this years version. And the skill gap was bigger.

                              For park, 2K20 was much better than this years version, apart from the hopstep cheese.
