For another year, the shooting system with the release meter is terrible. Instead of enjoying the game, instead of focusing on the mechanics of the shot to understand when to release the shoot button, you sit and look at a bar, if it catches the few green millimeters that each player has, which are different for each player. This results in not being able to play with different teams, but every time you have to focus on a specific team, learn how the players shoot, etc., and generally not enjoy the game, since even if you have the best system and your player shoots freely, you have the anxiety if the bar will reach the green for the shot to go in. Beyond that, I don't understand why for another year they don't let you modify the playoff mode and put the rosters you want.

As for graphics and sound, they are great. In myplayer, myteam, online games, etc., I'm not interested and I haven't tried them. Overall, I feel that it has become a game that doesn't care about playing a decent basketball game, relaxing and enjoying it, like in the past with 2K or NBA Live, but a game that sends you to modes like myteam, myplayer, etc., to engage in microtransactions. It's worth it for a price of 10€ or less. I wouldn't pay more, especially if someone has the previous versions.

I have never played a worse 2k in my life, and I've been playing since 2k6. It's incredibly tragic that you have to practice shooting for half an hour with each player to find their release, and yet, a fraction of a second separates a perfect release from a late release (it's unbelievable how late everyone shoots). Let's say we overlook that. As soon as you learn the release of the majority of players on the team you're using, the game officially ends. The game's defense is so overpowered and the CPU is incredibly incapable of doing anything. Just to give you an idea, this is the first time I've messed with the sliders and raised them for the CPU in hopes that it would score a basket. Coming from 2k21, which wasn't even good, but at least there was some competition, I have to say that this game is a disgrace that you should be paid to play. Such a shame, as it's the only title we can buy to enjoy our favorite sport, and for that exact reason, they just keep releasing one worse game after another. Very disappointed, as you can tell. Oh, and it should be noted that I've been playing the game for 2 days and it was enough to tire me out.
