present perfect continuous is usually used to show the duration of the activitiy. for example how long have you been waiting? I have been waiting for 2 hours

In the first question, you should use present perfect because you are not mentioning the duration, you just want to say that you havent played for years.

but in the second question, you have to use present perfect continuous because you are going to ask about the duration of the activity

Good luck
