    Worst game they’ve made. Micro transactions galore, full greens and whites dont go in, pay to win … AVOID!!!

    Yet again ANOTHER 2K with a broken garbage jump shot green system in mypark. It gets worse and worse every year and it blows my mind, save your time and money with this TRASH game.

    You have to shell out at least a good $150 to experience the main game mode and it's still a mess. You have to pay real money to boost your stats in a pvp game.

    The gameplay for the game is good. The park is garbage. Nothing but whiny kids and man children talking crap to you whether they’re on your team or not. The Rec is the best online experience you can get on the game. Still get whiny adults on there as well because you didn’t pass to them on each and every possession but I’ve had some good experiences. MyCareer is the best mode to play imo.The gameplay for the game is good. The park is garbage. Nothing but whiny kids and man children talking crap to you whether they’re on your team or not.

    I feel like I’m playing the same game every year. The only thing that changes is sweat and some faces of the players. I’ve been playing this game since NBA 2k10 and I feel like a pro playing and seeing the changes of the game.

    bin riesen basketballfan - hab so ziemlich jedes 2k gespielt - das hier ist der letzte scheiß - unendlicher grind - und ja es ist noch schlimmer als früher - möchte ein rpg sein bekommt es aber überhaupt nicht hin und macht auch bei nem sportspiel keinen sinn - abzocke da sie einem bei jedem modus zusätzlich geld aus der tasche ziehen wollen

    While there are improvements like bringing the Jordan Challenge back and making it better, there are some minor issues like MyLeague lack of new things, however NBA 2K23 is a very solid game.

    Made from thieves for toxic people. Enjoy this lame experience for yourself. Ridicoulous and marketing based from Lucifer himself. Enjoy sucking your portion in...

    Reseña del modo "mi carrera" por ser el único al que juego

El cambio que han hecho con las insignias es desesperante, subir al personje es más caro, el barrio es poco intuitivo y las recompensas de VC por patrocinios son menores, dificultando así la mejora del personaje.

Cambios innecesarios pero siguen sin tocar el matchmaking injusto al buscar barrio, sin poder encontrar a gente de tu nivel y siendo tu muñeco inutilizable hasta mínimo tener 80 de media. Juego que te incita a los micropagos si quieres hacer algo.    … Expand

    Too many bugs,harder to find a game than play it,etc. Could talk all day about how trash it is. Only buy if you have a lot of friends that play it and if its on a 90% discount I want my 100 bucks back

    terrible game. worst mycareers they have ever put out. your watching/skipping cutscenes and doing tik tok dances more then you actually play basketball. you cant skip the story and have to play through on every new player you make. the game actually benches you for 6 games no matter how well your playing at one point in the story. you start off at an abysmal 60 overall with no games beforeterrible game. worst mycareers they have ever put out. your watching/skipping cutscenes and doing tik tok dances more then you actually play basketball. you cant skip the story and have to play through on every new player you make. the game actually benches you for 6 games no matter how well your playing at one point in the story. you start off at an abysmal 60 overall with no games before the start of your career, if you dont buy VC its a mega grind to get a good player. 0/10. absolutely horrible.… Expand

    Whoever decided that only perfect release jumpshots can go in should be fired and never work on any game. Idk what 2k expects, it would make sense if you only played as one player.. but if you play myteam or mygm or any mode in which you control different players, am I supposed to learn tens of unique releases???

    My career is a tony hawk simulator where I need to run around skipping through cutscenes of a bland story for multiple minutes to be able to play 1 game and upgrade a single stat #justLetMeHoop #NotTonyHawk23

    There are way too many micro transactions, badge progression is extremely slow, and not focused on NBA basketball. It should be called park basketball as that's the only place one can progress towards any type or rewards. It's the end of NBA2K for me. NBA Live was great as it focused on NBA basketball.

    NBA 2K23 is still the best NBA game on the market, only because there are no competitors. There are new fun game modes like Jordan Challange but the online component of all the game modes once again relies too much on micro-transaction. Being competitive as a no money spent player is too much time consuming, and worse than last year. Gameplay wise, there are some improvements but some ancient problems remain, like choppy shooting system and an AI that cannot defend against 5-out.
