Graphics: Breathtaking, especially the famous players who look identical to reality. A beautiful game with stunning visuals in the presentation and the entire court.
Gameplay: The review is mainly aimed at experienced players, as I have been playing 2K on Hall of Fame for 15 years only on offline mode. I can understand the smallest detail in a basketball game and the change of momentum from time to time. 2K23 is definitely the best game so far. Everything moves realistically, of course, there are things that need fixing. Initially, this year the defensive behavior of the AI in pick and roll works flawlessly. Scoring is more difficult this year. To play at the highest level, you will need 4-5 quick systems. With good players and the right analog stick, you can gain a slight advantage with dribbling. The shooting mechanics are tweaked every year, but I don't bother since I go with the real percentage option. There are some issues with defense, as players sometimes get stuck and don't execute the defensive tactics. However, overall, with the use of the dual sense, you feel the weight and contacts in both defense and offense. The animations are very good, although they do have some glitches there.
Story: I don't engage with the career mode, so I'll spare criticizing the company. The presentation of Jordan's moments this year is awesome, bringing back memories.
Overall: I want to make it clear that I am addressing experienced and offline players. Reviews every year focus on the career mode and the company's unacceptable tactics. I criticize it, but I only play the season mode. So, for me, this year's 2K is the best with great realism and few glitches. Amazing graphics and presentation. Realistic basketball overall. If you don't mind the company's tactics and you are experienced players, you will enjoy it. If you are new players, it will take a lot of practice to reach a good level.
The bad review has to do with the fact that playing my career for years for the first time I see such a big storyline. I have the impression that I have wasted more time running around the city to do things that are asked of me rather than playing games. When the characters start talking, they don't stop.
2. I believe that the European world needs Euroleague as well. Some way must be found to either create a different game or for Euroleague to enter NBA 2K. The patches that the world has made do not cover us.
The same and the same as every year... Nice graphics, but beyond that, I think that instead of improving, the gameplay gets worse every year. I only have an opinion about offline modes, and for that purpose, I still enjoy even today NBA 2K20 (which wasn't perfect either) compared to NBA 2K23. Since I've been playing NBA 2K for a long time (since NBA 2K6 and onwards), I always play on Hall Of Fame difficulty level, but truly, Hall of Fame is only in the title... The difficult and annoying part now is shooting, but that's about it. Almost every drive is called a foul, the rate of blocks resembles more of an arcade mode, and besides that, I feel the games are more scripted than ever, as if being 30 points behind, usually in the 3rd or 4th quarter at most, the AI starts throwing bricks and playing poorly to make the match a close one. If you're 12-13 years old, you might like this, but that's about it. The only positive thing I have to mention as an idea is the NBA Eras of the 80s, 90s, and 00s, which truly give a different feeling of how the game was played in those times, with more physical play and fewer three-pointers, but still, the disadvantages I mentioned above don't take long to ruin the experience. I bought it for around 40 euros if I remember correctly, spent 60 hours in the game, and ended up returning and playing NBA 2K20 again, which definitely wasn't perfect either, but it's definitely closer to a basketball simulator than NBA 2K23. If you're Game Pass, PS Plus Extra, or Premium subscribers, you'll likely have the opportunity to try them without any extra charge soon, as it happened with the release of NBA 2K22 last year. If you're not a subscriber to any of the above services, I don't think it's worth more than 20 euros as a title because it's simply a game that improves visually every year but ruins the most important aspect, which is the gameplay.
Unfortunately, reheated food AND the 2K23. This year I wouldn't have bought it, but they played on the nostalgia for the top MJ and I got the Michael Jordan edition on Black Friday. The only thing worth it is the MJ challenges that add something different to the game after almost 10 years of not including them. Those of you who are enjoying 22, continue with that and since investments are trendy, invest the €40 that the 23 is asking for in souvlaki!
41 years now, all 2k have passed since the Dreamcast era. It has truly surpassed its predecessor, I don't know where the graphics will go from here, they are simply amazing. However, the shooting mechanics in the game are a letdown, you can't hit anything no matter what, it's getting tiresome. I won't be buying basketball anymore, it was the last in the series for me (bought it for 40 euros on the PS Store during Black Friday), I regret spending my money on it
Unfortunately, I will agree with the above comments, without competition, the annual improvements do not justify the full price.
It has nice graphics slightly improved, some additional animations, but the same presentation, the same sound effects, description, and commentary.
If the price drops below 30 euros, it's worth it.
Not worth the full price at all.
Unfortunately, there is no competition in basketball games and that's why 2k has remained stagnant... it is unacceptable to ask for an annual €80 for this thing they simply create animations for... no desire for improvement anywhere.... everything is the same presentation, commentary, spectators, players all the same 21-22-23... it is clear from the countless videos on YouTube... it's not worth anyone's money to spend on this
