NBA 2K22 is the latest installment in the decades-old basketball video game franchise. It is the first game in the series that features six cover athletes.

Developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K, the game received mixed reviews on Steam with loyal NBA fanbase playing the game despite its shortcomings.

Having said that, players have reported many bugs that include the recent MyCAREER issue and the game crashing to the dashboard with ‘6f8ce31b’ error code.

Adding to the existing set of issues, it looks like the infamous ‘A problem has been encountered’ error has made a comeback this year.

If you are unaware of the issue, it was first reported back in 2015 and has affected almost every iteration of the game ever since.

The NBA 2K22 ‘A problem has been encountered that prevents gameplay from continuing. This game will not be counted’ error has made the game unplayable for many.

Nba 2k22 next gen has way too many problems. Dashboarding randomly waiting for park games. “A problem has occurred that prevents gameplay from continuing” happening every other game. A problem with your connection hopping onto spots almost every other game. This is 2k21 #NBA2K22

@ NBA 2k22. I am playing the game on my x box in career mode and I am getting the message A problem has been encountered that prevents gameplay from continuing. This game will not be counted.

People are frustrated since they are unable to complete or join any game because of the error with no word from 2K to date.

NBA 2K22 players report that the game is counted as a loss even though the error explicitly says it will not be counted. Moreover, some say that they are unable to play any online game mode at all.

Since the issue is related to the game servers, there is nothing players can do to fix it. 2K is yet to acknowledge the issue.

We wonder how NBA 2K22 developers manage to mess up their game servers every year and why the error is popping up since 2015.

In the meantime, NBA 2K22 players can just hope that the developers fix the connectivity issues soon and that the error does not pop up while playing the game.

When 2K fixes the issue, we will update this article so make sure you keep an eye out on this space.
