The main problem I had with 2K22 was this. You could dunk on almost every possession with players like Harden, Lebron, Jordan, Simmons, Lamelo, Morant...
A lot of people complained about PNR defense (me included), but I started to notice that you didn't even need it to exploit the bad cpu defense. Just pick a fast guy and drive to the basket.
I didn't play 2K23 yet so I can't share impressions, but from what I've seen in these early access gameplay videos and then reading your impressions... it's not looking good.
