Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

Was going to ask about the shooting setting. Is it just 2 options (early and late) and what exactly do they do? More specifically, how does it effect someone that already has a quick releases vs a player they has a later release?

2K should standardized the settings for online games as it seems too much stuff to modify within 30 seconds. Granted you probably have 5 - 30 seconds but still not enough time to me. I haven't gotten the game yet but just curious based on what I'm seeing.

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

so u can't just abuse pnr against cpu n dunk all day in paint, they will actually stop u???

Yeap i believe so but this coming from the cg video i've been watching around, i'm not playing myself atm. But i can definitely see it right away believe me, it's not like 22, top of the key pnr are being well guarded as well as i've seen some middies get crowded as well, so you gotta play the angles as it should with any pnr.

Ofcourse we definitely need more evidence as well as i play it myself to see it.

And i like they gave us the new in game menus,too!!!

I can already see the movement is whole lot of tighter, too with cg.

But let's reserve my judgement for the next few days and after i get my hands on. Gotta be careful.

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

I actually have seen a whole lot better pnr defence. I don't agree with that tbh.

Again i keep seeing that the pnr defence is whole lot better, i gotta say..

I hope you are right, may be I have a little bit exagerate with my comments, perhaps the user do not play very good basketball and these doesn't help for seeing the best action at all. I reserve my judgement after seeing more video

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

I took a little trip to NZ as well. I played 2 games in the modern era MyNBA. Love the lighting so far. I played on semi Pro to get a feel but I'm feeling the slower gameplay. This is my wheelhouse. I did a quick look in the Kobe era and there are tons of generic players but 2K did an awesome job of acquiring guys. They got my boy Dermarr Johnson on the Hawks! My mans is gonna have the career he deserves without the injuries.

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

They added this really dope photo lighting to replay mode. You press the Left stick in to switch to the mode then left or right on the d-pad to cycle through the gallery. You also can control the scene and create your own photo like normal.

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

Can the CPU play any offense? This is what ruined the last couple 2ks for me. Every game i play no matter the difficulty they always shoot low 30% and barely ever score over 85/90pts on 12 min qtr.

This is my number 1 concern

AIR, You’re going to have to show us how you’re dropping 20 in the 1st on HOF. Maybe your seeing something I can’t identify. This was what I saw after two conversions in the lane.

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

Yeah, initial blow boy’s are definitely easier than ‘22, That I agree with.

After reading your post I went in and recorded 3 mins worth of practice just trying to duplicate and couldn’t reproduce it without the AI adjusting either on the perimeter or helping more aggressively.

Even the content creators were having some issues with HOF. I don’t know…Just want to give those on the fence an accurate depiction without leaning too far in either extreme.

Guess we’ll see what everyone else experiences.

Yeah, I definitely don’t want to put people off. But I did say after their initial wording that offense seemed like it would be O/P this year. But the defense is starting to feel in a right place for me after making adjustments. Maybe I didn’t give CPU enough time to catch up, but their first games after that many points I’d think they would.

Have you guys seen players get doubled? Help defense does feel more alive than 2K22 but initially it was just frozen or late to help. Now with slider adjustments I’m seeing real help.

What system are you on?

The CPU became Brain dead once 2k went to Next Gen
Crossing my fingers for 23🤞

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

Presentation is immaculate this year. Up to the quality of the GOAT adorned all over the game. MJ truly demands the best as his featured games are not coincidentally the best 2K’s of all.

Halftime show looks great! They’re a nice studio with the view of a city (or “The City”) behind them, which adds to the experience.

I’m hit or miss with the lighting personally. So far at least. Some courts do look better. It does look more cinematic. But the pink hue/filter just stands out to me, for better or worse. The bright wood on the modern Bulls court just hurrrrrts, literally hurts my eyes. I miss the beautiful warm wood in 2K22 on that court.

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

For those of you who have been to New Zealand, how do I get there? Planning on taking my Xbox with me, but I've never been so wasn't sure how to get there and make the right changes on my system, lol.

Go to your settings and just change location on Xbox it's really simple

A.I offense is MUCH better for those asking

I don’t like to do much selling, but that’s one thing I’ll say without hesitation

Re: NBA 2K23 Early Impressions

Haven’t played a game yet just putting around but noticed every team in modern era has help defense set to 0. “Sets how often players will help others on defense” Hmm

Where can you adjust this?
