Jan. 2025
NBA 2K23 is a basketball simulation game that continues the long-running series with updated rosters and new features. However, compared to its predecessor, 2K22, it feels like a step back. The gameplay doesn’t bring much innovation, and some mechanics feel clunkier than before. While the graphics and presentation remain strong, it struggles to justify itself as a major upgrade. If you’ve played 2K22, this one might feel like a downgrade. 6/10.

Rating: ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜† (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.
