Verdict: Just don't play games that release every year. Not only are you literally sending your money down an endless drain of yearly releases and microtransactions, trust me, try a story game, or something that interests you that ends at a point.
NBA 2K23 is a frustrating entry in the series that focuses more on making money than delivering a fair and enjoyable basketball experience. The gameplay can feel inconsistent, with moments where controls don’t respond the way you expect. While it tries to be realistic, it often ends up feeling more annoying than rewarding, especially in competitive modes. The biggest issue by far is the microtransactions. Modes like MyCareer and MyTeam feel heavily designed to push you into spending money just to keep up. Progression is slow unless you pay, which takes away from the sense of earning anything. Even though the presentation and graphics are strong, they can’t make up for the core problems. A sports game should feel fair and fun to play, not like it’s constantly asking for more money. Overall, NBA 2K23 is disappointing because of how aggressively it pushes monetization and how inconsistent the gameplay can feel. It has good ideas, but they’re overshadowed by its flaws. Gameplay: 5/10 Average | Overall: 4/10 Bad

Disabling the career mode because they shut down the servers should be criminal
removing the majority of features a couple of years after purchase should literally be illegal. I will never buy another 2k.
Only reason I played this game was for My Career mode. Then they shut down the servers that My Career for some reason needs only a couple of years after the game came out. Never buying another NBA 2k
İnsanların para verip aldığı oyunu bilerek erişebilirliğini kısıtlıyorlar. Online serverleri kapatırsın anlarım da Kariyer modunu niye kapatıyorsun ? Para verdiğim bir oyunda çevrimdışı etkinlikleri istediğim zaman oynayabilmem lazım saçmalık...
MyCareer was disabled because the servers shut down for 2k23
