Unfortunately the MyCareer mode falls victim to some of the same issues that have caused problems for 2k22 mt the program for several years now. Your performance in games is assessed using the same scoring system that was used in previous versions. This means that you will often be penalized for actions that are beyond your control. You may assign your player to defend an opponent but when you're presented with an opponent's screen, it's your decision to to fight or follow the player you have been assigned to.

In a random way, the player assigned to gets switched with the person who screened your player, who, after running towards the other end of the court. This court is now unattended and open. That's when you get hit with heavy "leave defensive assignments" and "defensive breakdown" penalties, which can affect your performance, and aren't actually your fault.

The W gives you the opportunity to live a professional career in the WNBA. But it's a bit minimalist compared with MyCareer. It takes away any personality that The City had, and reduces the goals and strategies to basic menus. MyTeam however is a mixed bag. Some features of MyTeam have been improved, including the greater frequency of cards and rewards, and the evolution of themes seasons.

MyTeam Online is now The 100, which tacks on too many penalties for losses and points accumulated against you and prevents you from some of the sweeter benefits. The Draft mode in MyTeam lets players get into the deeper.

You are able to personalize your squads and create choices, but microtransactions may be a problem after you've exhausted all the tickets required to be able to participate in this mode. This is not acceptable and adds nothing to the frustration MyTeam has been through in recent years.

NBA 2K22 is in many ways a vast improvement over the previous year's mixed bag. It focuses on issues that are of concern, rather than it does redefining the framework. The gameplay is smoother and more enjoyable. I was amazed by the new shooting mechanics and buy nba 2k22 mt coins stamina. The defensive plays feel more natural, and playing on the court feels more comfortable than it has for quite many years.
