Damn. I don't want them to change anything but the green or bust is killing my offline experience.

I don't like real player% but ps5 remote play lag with steam deck isn't giving me any other option.


Also cpu offense around the basket is annoying. It's user error but they are masters of the animation game.

Shooting anything outside the paint is WAY underpowered and driving dunks and layups are far too OP, but other than that it's really fun. Absolutely ridiculous that I'm seeing guys like Larry Bird go 1-13 shooting constantly, and I find myself (and the AI for the most part) getting 99% of points from right under the rim. At least the balancing is near perfect for AI/User, so the game is still decent fun. Can't even begin to complain about anything else. If they slightly adjust the game to favor shooting just a little bit more than it is now and to make paint defense a tad better, this is a top 3 basketball game of all time.

Do you use Chiaki to remote play? Everthing i read said it works awesome and way better than legit remote play but it sure hasnt been awesome for me so far. Id love to enjoy some Eras on my deck but i havent been able to yet.

Just had an ingame injury happen to one of the 83 bucks(cant remember his name) after halftime they talked about the injury and the guy has a collapsed lung. Yikers.

Yes Im using Chiaki but this is my first game that takes precision. Its been rough as there is just a slight lag/stutter. This doesnt effect the 99% of other games I play.

I have the releases of the teams I use down but cant consistently hit anything on the deck. Previous games wouldve been fine with slightly early/late but not 2k23.

So far I’m loving everything about this game. The gameplay, animations, presentation, graphics, Jordan Challenge, MyNBA Eras, etc- I’m thoroughly impressed and grateful. This is coming from an offline player who doesn’t touch Park or MyCareer btw. I can say that 2K definitely delivered this year, especially for those of us who love MyNBA and retro rosters . And to think IGN gave this game a 6/10 smh

Same with me. Ignore IGN and other media outlets completely. People who don't know sh** about basketball review those games. The game is 9-9,5 for us fellow NBA 2k gamers

Make "shot timing impact" slider 0 out of 100. It will help you with the releases. It will start to go in even without you get green. I have it and i'm really happy with it. Try

His entire review was but we can’t forget about micro transactions and give the game a 6

They don't know a a lick about basketball, we should all ignore media outlets reviewing sports games. Any sports games.

Re: NBA 2K23 Impressions Thread (XBOX SERIES S/X & PS5)

For all those struggling with hitting shots in good percentage (like me, before yesterday) please try to drop the "shot timing impact" slider on user sliders to 0.

It reduces the amount of misses on open shots that you thought was going to go in but you mistimed the shot timing release and missed the shot. It basically eliminates it. Would you miss wide open shots still? Of course. Just like real nba but you won't miss them as much "because of not perfecting your jump shot timing".

I care about taking quality shots and i can care less about hitting green on releases - that mechanic-. I enjoyed the game more after that adjustment. You can try it as well.

I am really blown away with the smartness of AI on defense. This is so far the NBA 2K that i missed for years and that I can't go back to play it when i'm not playing it...

I originally put this in the wrong impressions thread. But playing 80s I keep forgetting I don’t have to guard the 3 pt line lol. They won’t shoot it.

The shot fakes are so good. And smart too. They really only bite when they should, especially on hard close outs.

Using Eccentric's sliders with some personal edits and I'm getting extremely accurate and fun gameplay. Especially in the modern and Kobe era.

Wondering if its just me, but does anyone else feel the difference in the AI between Eras and the Jordan challenge?

To test my theory I put the Jordan challenge down to Rookie sliders and they still couldn't miss unless a shot was HEAVILY contested (idk what Sam Perkins did to 2k to deserve this lmao). They make much better offensive decisions in the Jordan Challenge too. Kevin McHale is a nightmare!

I feel like I need 2 completely different sets of sliders going from 1 mode to the other.

Either way props to the team for pulling me in, I dont regret the purchase at all. Went into my career to mess with some builds only to realize all I could think about was jumping back into eras.

That online cheese will have to wait...sim nation is back. Been rockin with Czar since the 10 teams in 10 days series! Great work 2k

So I thought I was going insane when I thought this … this would totally back what I’m seeing. If I’m being honest … I need that Jordan challenge difficulty/AI in My Eras lol

YES! I said the same thing. If 2k could just inbox me those Jordan challenge sliders the replayability of My Eras would be locked for years

I just want to enjoy the Jordan challenge for what it is. I dont wanna get cheesed by the AI just so I dont get the 3 stars
