NBA 2K22 is set to be released in two days (September 10th, 2021) and 2K Sports hasn't been generous with the game's information. Fans are accustomed to watching the trailers and player ratings weeks in advance, but this year, NBA 2K took advantage of the lack of games and kept up the hype around the launch. NBA players and franchises reacted to their ratings while fans eagerly consumed one detail at a time.
Only a handful of player ratings have been revealed and stars like Anthony Davis, DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook still don't know their ratings. Moreover, a few trailers have been released which give a glimpse into how the game will be when it launches on Friday.

It compared Luka Doncic to Dirk Nowitzki, LaMelo Ball to Magic Johnson and also showed Kelly Oubre Jr. in Charlotte Hornets gear, among several other exciting reveals. Donovan Mitchell was compared to Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan all in one.

The City feature has gotten fans excited as it is a revamped city full of life and activity as NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) flood the streets and give gamers a narrative story experience. It will be full of interactive locations and give the gamers a GTA-type (Grand Theft Auto by Rockstar games) feeling, an open-world city where you can progress your story through multiple activities.
