    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. Games crash and it still takes your "boost" you paid for. A virtual t shirt or durag cost more than in real life. Bugs that have been in previous games just don't get fixed.

    As someone who owns a PS5 and a Switch version of the game, I would say that the Switch version is still a decent way to play the game if you don't own a PS5.

    The Good:

    - It is stable enough, had not experienced any crashes or anything like that.
    - Gaming on the go, its nice to have that luxury while away from home.
    - Graceful degradation of graphics (on court gameplay) on a mobile gaming device such as a Nintendo Switch
    - Jordan challenge is also available here
    - On court gameplay controls is same as in PS5

    The Bad:

    - It is not exact same experience as with PS5 version, modes like My Career is a little bit different and some are missing i.e. My Eras.
    - Loading times
    - May eat a large amount of SD card storage space
    - At times it felt like there's control latency, hard to consistently pull perfect shot release

    Conclusion:

    If you like NBA2k series and don't own a PS5, and if you are a casual NBA gamer and always on-the-go the Nintendo Switch version is a decent choice, you can still get a good basketball gaming experience here.    … Expand

    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.

    I have to say i am really impressed on how the Switch port came out. Looks good and plays smooth. Alot of content to dig into. Controls are a little tweaked for the better to be honest. Only problem i have is the amount of memory it takes on a SD card(yes i know the PS4 and Xbox are the same with storage) Go give it a try.

    I feel so dumb for buying this absolute trash. The people at 2k are also trash. It already sucked and 23 is even worse. It’s so unbalanced I’m shocked. complete POS game with nothing new except for worse gameplay play. You can predict how every single game will end.

    NBA 2K23 is once again the best basketball game available on Nintendo Switch. However, such a milestone has no merit when, in addition to not innovating, there is no real competition in the market. Therefore, it is a perfect title only for lovers of that sport.

    NBA 2K23 makes the inevitable downgrades and cuts that we see every year with this franchise on Nintendo's console and, just like other last-gen versions of the game, it's also missing both The City and the brand new MyNBA Eras. Loading times can be frustrating, and 30fps basketball feels noticeably stodgier than the 60fps found in other versions. However, if you can put up with these necessary downgrades and slight technical shortcomings, this is still a solid port of a superb basketball sim that's stuffed full of enough content to see fans through another season.
