Now that NBA 2k23 is close to its end of life, where does it rank all time for you

If it wasn't for league pass which I must have, I probably wouldn't buy 2k24. If they ported our roster and draft classes for eras, I would be perfectly happy playing 2k24 but I haven't heard anything from the developers and they used a damn my player guy to give an update. Not promising

2K18 is still my favorite 2K with by far the most hours I played. 2K16 is close.

2K17 and 2K19 are the ones with the least hours I played.

2K23 is a very solid 2K and in my top 5 because of it feeling the most refined, even if I still have plenty of nitpicks about design philosophy. I notice the AI improvements, but I also notice more end of shot clock chucks by the AI because the actions aren't always fast enough and maybe the defense is a bit overtuned and there isn't as much give and take (2K still too often feels like defenders can both prevent the drive AND strongly contest the perimeter shot, when in the real games there is more of a pick your poison element)... maybe I'm just able to regularly lock the AI down because I know to help off poor/mediocre shooters and play in a conservative manner.

1. 2k23
2. 2k19
3. 2k14
4. 2k11

I think it's important to rank games based on the impact they made for their time. Nobody is ranking Gran Turismo 7 over GT1. Nobody is ranking Halo 4 over Halo 1 or 2.

So I'll go with this:

1. 2k11
2. 2k16
3. 2k14 (Ps4/Xbone)
4. 2k23
5. 2k19

Honorable Mention: 2k12

5. 2k23

NBA 2K19 Those were the ones I enjoyed the most. Still play 2K23 to this day which is unusual for me and sports games. I will likely buy 2K24 but really wouldn't need to.

I have played many 2ks and many NBA Lives, first official truly NBA game for was NBA showdown (1994). I will say NBA 2k23 with the right slider combination and right rosters has made this my favorite basketball game. The myEras took me back to 1994 and the Magic vs Bird even me think of Jordan vs Bird and Sunday afternoons looking at Lakers vs Celtics. This was the first game to let me relive these moments.

1. NBA 2k23
2. NBA Live 95
3. NBA Showdown
4. NBA 2k11

I will get NBA 2k24 because I am intrigued by the new play motion and cross play. NBA 2k23 will stay installed on my machine because it will be a while before the roster guys will get the rosters perfected.

Same with me on 2k23, I'm still playing this game, in my 3rd season on My Career and actually reached 99 over all. Never did any of that in previous versions may have gotten to 97 and never played this long...I'm still really enjoying it.
