It is true that these are problems that NBA 2K22 MT MyCareer campaigns have dealt with in the past, but they do not stay on these issues for very lengthy, and they are eager to move on to more lighthearted and flippant elements of the pro-basketball fantasy.

NBA 2K21 was offered for free via the Epic Games store last year The game is not the only one to be offered for free, and it's not unusual to see new NBA 2K games to see massive price drops weeks or days after their come out. This isn't even mentioning of what happens to this game's value a year later after the release date after they are effectively rendered obsolete following the release an upcoming successor.

The release schedule for each year combined with the minor changes between releases is wasteful and a standalone MyCareer or, at a minimum, an NBA 2K game that focuses heavily on MyCareer could help alleviate this issue. 2K Games could work on this MyCareer game for a couple of years, rather than one.

This gives the team developing the game the chance to design something unique and appealing to the public, making their work endure longer in the public spotlight while increasing sales of games, which could possibly reduce or eliminate the attraction of having predatory microtransactions.

The NBA 2K series NBA 2K MT is still producing Take-Two lots of money, but its longevity is contingent on its ability to grow and develop. A standalone MyCareer game would accomplish both these ends.
