NBA 2K22 makes some welcome changes to its on-court action. The new stamina system is a game-changer, leading to the series’ best offensive flow in years. Defensively, the tweaks to blocks and shot contests make the paint a dangerous place to be. However, the technical issues, questionable choices, and overuse of microtransactions in several of the modes keep it from being a real contender. There’s a high-quality basketball sim here, but it makes more unforced errors than you’d expect for a series that’s been iterating for so long.
