So, how does NBA 2K23 measure up with our review? As a MyCareer player, the answer to that is pretty disappointing.

<h2>MyCareer A NBA Career Mode Without Much Basketball</h2> In last year’s review of NBA 2K22, I applauded Visual Concepts for allowing players the choice to be the kind of NBA player they wanted to be via optional quests throughout The City. Sadly, those aren’t really optional quests anymore. At the start of NBA 2K23’s MyCareer, your MyPlayer (once again called MP) gets drafted 18th overall to the team of your choosing.

Along the way, you’ll do things like earning your way to the starting lineup, taking part in another one of those hot-take factory sports talk shows, obtaining a Gatorade from a local shop owner, and helping out a vegan hot dog vendor. If you think that sounds like a lot of not playing basketball in this basketball game, you’re 100% right.

NBA 2K23’s MyCareer story doesn’t have any of that ridiculous fun. The characters are annoying, and nearly every scene ends with an awkward moment, as if you were watching robots desperately trying to act like humans. As for the story itself, the game attempts to tell you that your play on the court matters.

And, to a minimal degree, it does. There are times when you have to hit certain objectives, or you will fail the mission and have to repeat the game. Nonetheless, even if you are undefeated and are putting up phenomenal numbers in each game, almost everyone will act as if your team had just drafted the second coming of Anthony Bennett ahead of the next Michael Jordan.

However, over time, it does get a bit tedious due to limited fast travel options and some shameless advertisements.” Good news, everyone! The added dedicated fast travel options with various subway tunnels throughout The City.

The teams, rosters, rules, logos, and so much more were brought back in time. I was given the option to load in the actual 2003 NBA Draft Class, which featured the likes of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony. So, I was determined to land one of those players in the upcoming draft.

I spent the entire season preparing to rebuild with one (or two) top picks. To my surprise, though, these MyNBA Era franchises aren’t just about rewriting history via Dwayne Wade going to the Denver Nuggets instead of the Miami Heat. You are also given the option to overrule several historic rule/team changes that happened in the upcoming offseason.

For instance, you can keep the Seattle SuperSonics from ever becoming the Oklahoma City Thunder, or you can keep the early 2000s logos/jerseys for teams like the Pistons and the Cavs. These MyNBA Era franchises are easily the highlight of NBA 2K23 for me.

The gameplay is immersive and continues to improve each year with changes to animations and a focus on presentation. And from a visual standpoint, NBA 2K23 is absolutely crushing it each year, and my experience in this review shows that. MyNBA continues to be the in-depth franchise mode that I want Madden NFL’s franchise mode to become.

The MyNBA Era mode only adds to this enriching franchise experience. Even though it’s technically a remake from NBA 2K11, I really liked the Jordan Challenges too. It’s not as in-depth as MyNBA, but it’s a fantastic starting point when you first launch the game.

It should take time to get your MyPlayer leveled up to a high overall. Your game shouldn’t feel like a chore while I’m playing it, though. I shouldn’t feel like I have to put in $20 via microtransactions to get my player up to a semi-respectable overall, either.

So if you are a Play Now or MyNBA player, definitely take a closer look at NBA 2K23 on next-gen. If you are someone who primarily plays MyCareer, there is no way I could recommend NBA 2K23 at its current $70 price point (unless 2K makes a miraculous update to VC output, VC cost and adds the ability to skip the story on new builds). My overall impressions of NBA 2K23 and my review shows that efforts are being made and, hopefully, a bright turn for the future.
