Where are the actual impressions of this game? This is more like a what’s your settings thread.

I play well with the 92 Bulls Jordan is a cheat code lol. I find the older eras are easier to play in compared to the modern era.

I'm loving when the AI decides to double so far, but I'm not loving how they double. For example early in the 3rd quarter against the Sonics. Jordan has been a quiet but efficient 12 points, but scores two quick and easy baskets against Rashard Lewis in iso. AI immediately says "nope" and decides to start doubling Jordan on the catch. Beautiful, I love that. BUT, Wizards were in a standard 3-out 2-in with Jordan on the wing and they sent the double from the playside post defender leaving Haywood all alone right under the basket. That was ugly. Hopefully 2k can improve double teams to make it more of a team activity to prevent those situations.

I don't know if it's hardcoded, as I've only really played 80's and 90's on 2K23.

The double teaming has been better than you've experienced, as it's generally off a big near or outside the 3 point line. The CPU never leaves a big open under the basket.

The best situations I can generate are when Jordan is running an iso at the top of the key, outside the 3pt line. I drive past the defender on the side Paxson is sat in the corner and if the CPU doubles find him for a 3. That, or some times when Jordan is in the post, if I'm on the Paxson / B.J. Armstrong side, but it's mostly the CPU trying to leave a 4 or 5 along the 3pt line.

Back to actual impressions..

Lots of small improvements that I think a lot of myEra heads are going to appreciate. I put them in the Little things thread.

Love the fact that they trickle in these small details like Legendary PA announcers in the 80s era... I appreciate that

Its a discussion thread. We’re all impressed with every post.

Does anyone think player speed or Ai defensive rotations are too fast? I feel like the Ai moves too fast during scrambles or pass speed is too slow.

Yes they are and picks are way to powerful..

Quick fix for me playing on Superstar was I upped defensive Awareness to 100 , on ball defense to like 85 for both..

But they key for my bliss was I lowered the help defensive strength to 25-30 and rotations now come but they don't hyper speed and rotate to every shot!

Also everyone has silver pick dodger and great defenders like Smart, Milton, Holiday etc... have Gold to Hall of fame... Definitely helped with the overall sim experience

All teams have 75 to 80 on Coach Slider help! Crash offensive boards, Physical Defense

a few other Tweaks and I'm Loving the feel

Maybe it’s a small sample size, but playing a LeBron Era exhibition game against the Heat (twice as the Bulls and once as the Magic), Wade took the most shots, and was even taking a bunch of 3s the second he was wide open from there. LeBron played pretty passive and not one game was he even second in scoring for Miami.
