The NBA 2K franchise has experienced incredible ups and downs. I guess we can say as much about all sports games, but the Visual Concepts basketball series tends to be more scrutin than others. Of course, most would say that it has probably deserved this honor, largely thanks to the increasing propensity of NBA 2K to microtransactions. But it is also undeniable that for years, action on the ground itself has become obsolete. Or - in the worst case - the gameplay even Regrested.
Fortunately, 2022 and beyond are shiny for NBA 2K. Visual Concepts has mainly delivered its best basketball game for years, and I can not wait to see what the rest of this season offers us.
The emphasis on giving the player a greater level of control than ever before previously occurred, from my first warning. The dribble has become much more fluid this time, mainly because of the speed at which the actions are carried out. The greatest players separate authentically from the rest of the pack in NBA 2K22, and their ability to overcome defenders in the blink of an eye is represented in a much more accessible way.
Another giant step in the right direction is crossed by the enhanced shooting counter. From now on, your coupter gives real-time information according to the way you managed the parameters at once. If you are very monitored when you shoot with Denzel Valentine, your shooting counter will be about as effective as a broken femur. If you are wide open beyond the bow with Steph Curry, you will have seven days and six nights to perfectly timer your three balls.
In addition, players are able to chain movements in a way that was not possible before. The Dekes can be combined, one after the other, to create sensational games that are really different when you look at last year s match. And since these movements are made with simple movements of the right stick, anyone willing to put a little work will be generously rewarded. This is the best that the 2K franchise has felt on the ground for very long.
Apart from the field, NBA 2K22 is not left over. There are many modes to discover, with (in my opinion) the most remarkable of all, the new MyCareer. While taking the reins of a rising star, the new campaign makes you make crucial decisions that modify your career as never before. I do not remember that there has never been a moment in the history of a sport game that forced me to stop and think about the possible repercussions of my choices. But we are there, with NBA 2K22.
However, the most exciting part of the new career must be the commitment of Visual concept to ensure that the player really feels as if he lived the life of a superstar. I will not go too much in the details at the risk of spoiling too much, but become an entrepreneur and embark on other avenues plays a big role in the history of NBA 2K22. Expect to participate in a series of extracurricular activities, such as starting your own clothing line, once you have made a small name.
Each year, there seems to be a mountain of controversy on microtransactions and their implementation - at this stage - deeply rooted in the NBA 2K franchise. And since there have been so many positive progress with 2K22, it hurts me to say that things are not different this year. MyTeam, for example, significantly improves its formula by adopting the approach adopted by MLB The Show to reward players for daily connections, historical challenges, team-specific missions, etc. But everything always comes down to who spends the most wins the most.
Keep in mind; This is the visible part of the iceberg. It does not seem that you can take a course in NBA 2K22 without launching SmacDDAB in a request for payment information. And when the fans who remain faithful to these games, year after year, get up and say, Listen, give us a game that does not become obsolete at the end of the year, and we will talk.
It may be a wishful thinking. But it is far the time of those who spent the most time becoming the best, to really become the best. More than ever, I feel the differential of statistics between stars and scrubs. So, yes, the action on the ground is better than it has been for years. Why do I have a feeling of imminent, persistent and purulent fear for the future of the series?
It s time for Visual Concepts and 2K games to return to the drawing board with their philosophy of microtransaction. At this point, it is difficult not to feel that they scraped the player. Especially given the exorbitant prices that their premium versions cost. And it s so frustrating not to love as much 2k22 as me because behind every extra dollar that was asked for, there was an excessively soft compressed rotation or a jump back to make me smile. I like NBA 2K22. I would not say that I like it enough to rehypothemize my house to play.
