Nba2k22 Cover was just released today which prolly resulted in a slight price drop. 2k22 releases on September 10th.

Got this free on PC a couple months ago and have mostly enjoyed the career mode. The grind is super long; wish it didn't take so much time to level up and improve your player. I also wish the game allowed you to skip past a lot of the various chatter, replays, out-of-bounds resetting, etc. You spend a lot of time spamming buttons trying to skip straight into the gameplay, even in the middle of games when refs hold onto the ball for ages during free throws and in-bounds plays.

Haven't played since NBA 2k5…all the previous comments are true, from trying to avoid player chatter to surprise at how much memory the game takes.

It's been a no-brainer for $5 so far since the Switch has so few sports options. I don't regret it.

Metacritic user reviews are a scathing 1.3.

Sometimes you can hold the skip button. Also go into settings and adjust it to have less replays etc.

Yeah, I've unchecked the options for replays and stuff already -- but I guess I'm just quite impatient Wave

Got the game a few weeks back at the same price. It's a lot of fun, well worth $5

Does this still have in-game ads and the whole "unplayable unless you're connected to wifi" issue?

Probably has to do with the read speeds and lack of latency from the eMMC compared to microsd. Some game files must be critically important in game. Microsd cards are "fast" but dont compare to SSD controllers.

This is what I'm wondering...it's only $5 but I really don't want to be forced to be on WiFi to play, as the switch's WiFi range is pretty poor, least in my house.
