Re: NBA 2K23 Jordan Challenge Details and Features Revealed
New challenges:
1982 - UNC vs. Georgetown
1984 - Team USA Scrimmage (USA vs. NBA All-Stars, a real life event)
1988 - NBA All-Star Game
1989 - Eastern Conference Quarterfinals Game 5 (The Shot)
1997 - Bulls vs. Lakers
Some other quick hitters:
* Era filters are back
* Era-specific gameplay (less 3-point spot-ups, more cuts, Bad Boys-era physicality)
* Some classic stars receiving signature style revamps (Bird & Magic alluded)
* Mike Fratello on board as classic color commentator
* Ray Clay is on board for the Bulls starting lineup presentation (and "Sirius", naturally)
* Classic coaching sets borrowed from the likes of Phil Jackson, Jack Ramsay, Hubie Brown, Dick Motta, and more
* Some era-specific rules (illegal defense)
* Era-specific moves (i.e. players from the 80's won't be utilizing the Shammgod)
* For the classic junkies: era-correct Moses Malone spotted (bald with goggles) for Hawks-Bulls challenge
* A number of arenas appear to have era-specific dorna boards, basket stanchions, and advertisements (Boston Garden, in particular, has never never looked more like the Boston Garden).
This mode looks like a piece of art. So many details seem to be accounted for, right on down to the accurate USA-All-Star court at the Hoosierdome. Amazing.

Re: NBA 2K23 Jordan Challenge Details and Features Revealed
This all sounds absolutely amazing. I have been dreaming about 2K bringing back old school era basketball rules and gameplay.
The only nitpick/request I have left is to make sure these old school era rules, filters and AI can be used in myNBA and not just the Jordan Challenge modes.Comment

The 1984 Team USA Basketball Scrimmage being there is such great addition for old heads like me. I remember watching it live and it confirming what I already knew, even the best players in the NBA weren't going to be able to hold Mike.Jordan Mychal Lemos

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.
Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.Comment

Re: NBA 2K23 Jordan Challenge Details and Features Revealed
This is absolutely incredible. They put a lot of thought into the challenges and picked the right key moments. Wow. Like a video game version of “The Last Dance.”
I wonder if these rules etc. can be used for MyNBA. I would LOVE the bad boys physicality applied.Comment

Re: NBA 2K23 Jordan Challenge Details and Features Revealed
Good read, but damn that video was sick…
The detail is insane, even the animation transitions look better…and that’s just watching it on my phone. The idea that these graphics are “stale” or behind somehow is wild to me.
Feed me more.Comment

Phil Jackson back as coach at 57 seconds in video
A little confusion about the 90s Bulls warm-ups. They appear at the 1 minute mark but everywhere else the teams are on the bench and tunnel without them.Last edited by scbond3; 08-11-2022, 09:34 AM.Comment

Absolutely incredible. This mode alone guarantees 2K23 a place on my PS5 forever. Some stuff you just have to have as an NBA fan.

Not a big MJ fan, but damn this is ridiculous. They went all out with this version of the Jordan Challenge.
This might be the definitive video game "retrospective" of an athlete's career. Amazing work, 2K. [emoji1490][emoji1490][emoji1490][emoji1490][emoji1490]

This looks amazing, 2k11 was great and this looks like 11 juiced up. I wish they would do this every year with a different player. Let's get Kobe challenges for 24

WOW! As others have already said this looks amazing! The level of detail & authenticity is phenomenal! Seeing that MJ steal from Karl Malone in the 98 finals gave me chills! The animations look so realistic! Can't wait for this! Bravo 2K!Comment

Re: NBA 2K23 Jordan Challenge Details and Features Revealed
All sounds great. Now if only this would carry over to the other classic match ups, but it won’t. Only for MJ I guess. Imagine this attention to detail and just creating a classic mode - or any mode - where you can select: filter, rules and gameplay with the options 80s, 90s and modern. So basically take a modern team vs 80s team w/ modern rules, 3pt line and 80s era filter. Shouldn’t be too hard. But this will never happen, 2k will likely take a few years and then present some filter option maybe and then act like it’s new, as they always do. Sigh…Comment
