What NBA 2K22 Should Change From 2K21

Players have a choice to either grind the Story Mode to 2K21 MT improve their character, or pay to instantly be greater than their competitors. Getting rid of microtransactions completely would be a welcome improvement to 2K22, even if it's unlikely because of how much cash 2K Games can make from them.
