I play 2K22 on Xbox current gen, and let me say this is one of the most balanced 2ks in years. The animations are very realistic for the game and 2k has finally listened to what we wished for. We asked for shooting to be easier because in 21 it was awful. Now shooting is more consistent so you shouldn’t miss open 3’s like before. The rep system rewards us generously, but it is still a grind to rep up. The only downside could be the amount of 2’s courts they added which causes open courts but you can’t really complain about that. They don’t have builds that can do everything like in 2k20 with the 2 way slash play which is comforting. The people who are trashing 22 are either bums or they haven’t played previous 2k’s and don’t know what to compare it to. Overall- great game, very balanced, already cant wait for 2k23!
