Although the profession is simple, it's the detail and variety that will attract many. Your MP experience will be closely aligned with long-time friend and 2k22 mt brand manager Ricky when you select agents, deal with issues on social media, and extend your MyCareer out of the court and the game of basketball. Do you want to be a fashion guru instead? You got it. Do you want to follow in the footsteps of Dame Dolla and have a rap career.

There's plenty to do in NBA 2K22. While these extracurricular pursuits are limited to a few absurd cutscenes and fetch quests, they're a welcome inclusion. Many of the conversations and choices focus on life outside of NBA and what it means not just to be an athlete.

But a celebrity with heightened consequences for your actions. You don't have to do this. While it is possible to play through games seeking out better statistics and MP I find this sense of depth, range and variety very appealing.

Unfortunately, the MyCareer mode suffers from some issues that have been a problem for the series for a number of years now. Your performance in games is evaluated using the same rating system used in previous iterations. This means that you'll frequently be penalized for actions that are beyond your control. You can assign your players to guard an opponent but in the event that you are confronted with an option to display a screen, it's your decision whether to fight or follow your assigned player.

Randomly, the assigned player changes with the player who has screened them. They are then able to run off to the other side of the court and go completely unsupervised. This is when you are penalized with massive "leave defensive assignment" as well as 'defensive breakdown' penalties which can affect your performance, and don't necessarily fall on your shoulders. It's not an issue that is major however, it is long enough that it has finally frustrate me enough to warrant mentioning the issue here.

With the exception of a stronger MyCareer mode, all models remain mostly unchanged. Taking over the entire NBA franchise using the MyNBA mode is now able to decide and assign your coaching and front office staff to more closely buy Nba 2k22 Mt match the needs and goals of your team. I've found to not affect the court on such a meaningful scale.
