The inclusion of four different factions you can pick from MT 2K22 and play with and against is a great addition however, it never goes beyond the initial decision to select one of them with the MyPark/Neighbourhood option as it is. The brand new MyCareer mode remains the most significant change to NBA 2K22 since your player, referred to as MP (which actually is an acronym that stands for 'My Player') builds an NBA career and brand.

The process itself is simple, but it's general detail and diversity that will draw most newcomers in. Your MP version will align closely with longtime acquaintance and brand manager Ricky in your selection of agents, deal with social issues, and build your MyCareer outside of the court and the game of basketball. Are you looking to become the fashion expert? You got it. Do you want to follow in footsteps of 'Dame Dolla' and start the rap industry?

There's plenty to do in NBA 2K22. While these extracurricular pursuits rarely exceed a few cute cutscenes and fetch quests It's an interesting addition as a large portion of the conversations and choices touch on the world outside of the NBA and what is meant by being more than only an athlete.

But a celebrity with heightened penalties of your choices. It's not mandatory to take part in any of this, as you can simply tear over match after round in search of greater stats while you build up your MP, but I do appreciate this sense of depth diversity and scope.

Unfortunately, the MyCareer mode falls victim to some of the same issues that have affected the game for several years. As your performance within games is based on NBA MT Coins the same system of scoring that was in place in previous iterations You are often penalized for events that are ultimately out of your control. In the case of a player, for instance, they might be assigned to protect one particular opponent, however when faced with a screen you opt to take on the screen and follow the assigned player.
