Nov. 2024

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Pros: Stunning Graphics & Presentation: NBA 2K23 continues the franchise’s legacy of top-tier visuals, with lifelike player animations, detailed arenas, and dynamic lighting. The game captures the energy of an actual NBA game, complete with realistic crowd reactions and commentary that make every game feel immersive. Gameplay Improvements: 2K23 refines many core gameplay mechanics, adding smoother dribbling, more realistic player movement, and more intuitive shooting. Defense has also been tweaked, making it more challenging to exploit easy plays and forcing players to strategize on both ends of the court. AI has seen improvements as well, with smarter team play and opponent behavior. MyCareer Mode: The career story mode this year is well-crafted, offering a fresh storyline with a "rising star" feel, full of customizations and new quests. The RPG elements add depth, allowing players to make choices that impact their career and relationships, making it feel like you’re shaping a true journey. MyNBA Eras: This new feature is a standout addition, letting players explore different NBA eras with unique visual filters and rule sets. It's a treat for fans interested in experiencing the evolution of the league, complete with authentic rosters and courts from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. MyTeam Updates: MyTeam mode has removed contracts, making it easier to play with favorite cards without the grind of micromanaging. The seasonal format continues to offer new content, and card art is better than ever. Cons: Microtransactions & Pay-to-Win Elements: Like previous entries, NBA 2K23 is loaded with microtransactions. Whether in MyCareer or MyTeam, progression can feel heavily gated without VC purchases. For those who want to level up quickly or build a competitive MyTeam, spending real money often feels necessary. Server & Connection Issues: Despite being a yearly title, 2K's servers still struggle, especially during peak times. Matchmaking can be slow, and there are occasional disconnects, which can be frustrating during competitive online play. Repetitive Grind in MyCareer: While MyCareer is fun, the grind for VC and badges is still real. Players without VC investments may find progression sluggish, especially when competing against others who have boosted stats. Slight Gameplay Staleness: While improved, the core gameplay is still familiar. Players returning from recent titles might not notice dramatic changes, and certain animations can feel recycled. Verdict: NBA 2K23 is a solid basketball game with impressive visuals, refined gameplay, and engaging modes. However, its reliance on microtransactions and recurring online issues slightly hamper the experience. If you're a basketball fan or franchise veteran, this year’s installment is worth a look, especially for its nostalgia-rich MyNBA Eras mode and the immersive MyCareer journey.

really good only problem is that 2k is not thinking about pc players they have locked all the good stuff they are offering on consoles in my career mode except that the gameplay is top notch and challenging

Aug. 2024

man...its a basketball game. don't know why people are so mad about it. but to be fair, i only buy these games when they are well under 10 dollars. at the end of the day, that's what i think it's worth. its basketball. i can bs and play a quick pick up game and relax. cant beat that.

June 2024

I only play career mode, and this one is pretty descent. Certainly better than the 2k22.

March 2024

I love Lebron James in this innovative, heartfelt game of NBA 2k23. It is the same as the previous games but because Lebron James is in full display, I can not give this game a bad review. The way the sweat sits on every player truly captures the essence of homeostasis of the human body. I'd like to talk about the motion of Lebron James in this game. He absolutely dominates like he always does. The way he dunks just vitalises the spirit of his young self back in Miami in '12. It truly places me in awe seeing his body move in such an athletic way and creates a space of inspiration, for not just me, but for every ball handler across the world. Do give this game a try, you won't be disappointed by the presence of Lebron Raymone James. In the future, you may become a pro at basketball and realise the impact this game has had on you.
