God is a GeekChris WhiteSep 20218.5/10NBA 2K22 requires a more tactical approach, making on-court play the best it has been, but VC still stalls enjoyment.

Sports Gamers OnlineMichael StrawSep 20219/10NBA 2K22 is a game that has something for everyone to enjoy, and brings back memories of the game’s glory years. It’s a shining example of how sports games on the PS5 and Xbox Series X should be.

WccftechSep 20218.5/10NBA 2K22 is the franchise's best entry in years, offering well-balanced changes on the court and a bold, yet welcome, revamp of MyCareer and The City hub. Microtransactions still frustrate at times, but they're not as aggressive or tasteless as they've been in the past. For the first time in a while, it feels like the NBA 2K dev team is hungry, and they've cooked up a real championship contender this year.

GamingTrendSep 202140/100NBA 2K22 is less a video game and more an advertisement for the sport. The controls are obtuse and unresponsive, slowdown is constant, the story is bland, and it's simply not fun to play.

TheGamerStacey HenleySep 20213/5 starsNBA 2K22 is an almost impossible game to rate, because it’s a damn good basketball game at its core. The biggest problem is how it tries to be anything but a basketball game, and while that doesn’t damage the overall quality on the court, it makes it hard to root for it. It’s the ‘03 Lakers, and I hate the ‘03 Lakers.
