Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

Magic is one of the teams I want to use! Need to get TMac a ring!

Also want to check out the Celtics for the time period.

The Magic are fun. They have like 11 real players on the team. The Celtics are kind of slim though with only Pierce, Walker, Delk, Vin Baker, W. McCarthy and Shammond Williams. They suck defensively but Pierce and Walker are tough.

NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

Yes they 100% do!

I just put to 100 on everyone then 0 to test and just as you would expect.

Wow. That’s pretty much every single un-fixable issue I’ve had for the past few years combined, all taken care of out of the box on day 1. [emoji1305]

I don't usually mess with any settings or sliders, but I will have to try some things based on the positive impressions. It sounds like the game plays really well out of the box and can be even better with adjustments.

I'll probably wait to see what happens with the day 1 patch and roster updates before messing around too much, but definitely going to be keeping an eye on the settings and sliders the OS community is using. I assume there will eventually be a thread for this?

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

It’s fixed! Needs speed adjustments though as out of box ball handler at 60 I think and without ball at 75. But no more hitch! Had a breakaway with chris Paul for east layin. Also had another breakaway where Giannis pinned me chasing me down that was awesome but wasn’t because of anything but him being the freak!

Here’s 1 more quick help d rotations that led to 2 drive and kicks. I’m rusty on sticks but you guys at least can see the help rotating more.

This makes me so happy to see help D and drive and kick opportunities. But for the love of Pete will you please choose a real avatar on Twitter lol? How are you still an egg?

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

I skipped 2k22 so not sure who was updated there but I'm curious, do guys like T-Mac, KG, Kenyon Martin, etc. still have their older player models with tattoos they didn't have when they were younger or have they been updated?

I can live with that! I was thinking the worst-case scenario with the Cs was that it would basically just be Pierce and Walker. Some key role players missing but at least there is a starting 5 to work with.

This mode is going to be absolutely amazing in a few months when the community creators start filling out the rosters and draft classes.

A thread? There’s a whole separate section of the forum for sliders! Just scroll to the top of the main forum here and you’ll see all the separated sections for things like custom rosters, sliders, MyTEAM, etc.

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

This game is so smooth! The drives into a pump fake and step through are a thing of beauty and super smooth! Don’t let me do this with Kobe!

Wow, I completely overlooked those sub-forums. That's perfect because I typically avoid the main forum post-release, for the most part. After the game releases there's just a different vibe in the community once we get past the initial honeymoon phase.

Ya typically post release we migrate to sliders and roster sections! Lol

Yea, once everyone gets over the fact that the game is new and improved, they quickly revert to hyper-focusing on the flaws. Thankfully that makes my work as a slider editor a lot easier because I can get a huge sample size of examples and complaints to then go in and try to resolve, or at least improve upon.

Gotta take the good with the bad!

Oh this will make slider editing MUCH easier and FAR more enjoyable. The past few years I’ve had to focus all of my attention on trying out bandaid after bandaid to try and cover up the truly un-fixable issues each game presented. That also led to a ton of burnout and resentment because no matter how much time and effort I threw at the game, there was simply nothing that could be done to give realistic gameplay.

This should finally bring me back to those 2K12-2K16 vibes where slider editing was actually enjoyable and rewarding.

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

just played another game... Hornets (me) vs Mavs in Dallas. Holy cow is Luka tough. He's just so stinking shifty.

Within the first 2 minutes of the game, Gordon Heyward went up for a rebound, and came down on LaMelo's foot, sprained ankle. Limped to the bench because the game took a time out. Allie Laforce gave an update 2 minutes later, sprained ankle, day to day, but should be able to play through it. Next dead ball, he comes back in. Didn't see him limping or anything, but was still pretty nice to see.

I'm DANGEROUS with Rozier and LaMelo. The change of pace w/ LaMelo and just overall flair is so much fun. Rozier running through stagger screens...

Czar, if you're reading... please don't change anything for a good long while. Let everything shake out and the dust settle. I'm sure there will need to be "some" changes here and there, but there's nothing drastic and I REALLY don't want to lose the "fun factor" and control. Right now, I'm not fighting for control, and I love it.

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

Attention fellow roster creators.
As it stands. You cannot utilize the ERAs player pool to customise a roster or use an ERA players DNA to edit or create a player.

The Eras mode is totally separate from the core of the game.

Very disappointing.
