NBA 2K23 (September 9th release)

[kdslittlebro]

I played a little bit of 2K21 on Gamepass after being away from the game for years. VC and shyt rubbed me the wrong way. A cousin convinced me to come back for next gen 2K22. Acquiring badges was a bit more to my liking and the VC wasn't as insufferable and the game only costs me 10 bucks. I enjoyed it. Can't even lie. I mostly played offline. I watched that Joe Knows builder video yesterday and sheesh. I can already see I can't make a PG or PF build like I had in 2K22. It looks like you have to build a balanced all around character or a role playing specialist, most likely a slow, no defense playing 3 point shooter. The thing is I don't understand how to square that with players that already exist.

Take Steph for instance. Steph would be a 99 in 3's. No one would argue that right? But he's also gonna have high playmaking ratings. His handles and speed with ball both have to be at minimum 90. Passing at least 85. He also finishes at the rim highly effectively. And he isn't a slouch on defense. As far as I can see there is no way to build him with the builder. We won't even get started on Lebron and Giannis.

It's gonna be interesting to see.

This is what got me off 2k like I used to be tbh. I never did park/rec and shyt, and I miss being able to actually make an on paper superstar. I wish they would just separate MC from that shyt. Idgaf about balance and what the next man’s build is. Let me make my true 99. Put your 99 players stats in create a player and that mf is an 85. It’s already been a slap in the face the entire time to be a 65 overall lottery pick. They know most of the shyt doesn’t make sense for their own written narrative, and they don’t even try to find some congruency

Change your time zone to New Zealand you can play Thursday morning. It’s just a day but I really only play 2k so I do it every year it’s like my Christmas time

I might have to call out of work and do this

 

[knickscrusaderm]

I agree. It’s sucks the fun out of my career because you basically gotta be a dominant role player. It’s basically impossible to make someone 6’8 or taller with handle, like KD, Tatum, Brandon Ingram, etc. I understand it’s in effort to not enable “Demi-god” builds, but at the end of the day it’s a video game

You can this year funny enough. Look up lamonstas build.

When did they fix it? I did it for 22 but I don’t preorder any other games besides 2k so it may be fixed now

May be but I’ll still try. They said it last year too but it still worked. I’ll let y’all know in the morning just in case

Yeah. I cheesed the whole college part of it just for that reason. I couldn't wrap my brain around how I'm a 62 overall player but somehow I'm supposed to be this top dog college athlete or whatever. So I just created a second my career and skipped the college part and went straight to the NBA and played horrible enough to where they barely play me, but I still don't have to straight sim the games and they had to give me VC at the end. I did that until I got my guy to around a respectable 70 overall then balled out in college and went #1. From that point the story mode and signing rappers and fashion designers gave me enough VC to damn near max out my player.

Another thing, I noticed that in years past that your nickname was always DJ, or Junior or something. This year on next gen, I don't know about old gen, they just call you MP. How lazy is that? Then I saw the preview for the 2K23 story mode and they still call you that. SMH. 2K barely tries.

All the shyt that's being added and changed this year but you mad about the damn myplayer nickname being the same.

 

[The Phoenix]

You can this year funny enough. Look up lamonstas build.

He made an all around build though. He didn't approach a 90 rating in any category except for stamina. And that's what we were talking about. You either make a build that is solid and balanced or you can make a build with a category like 3's at 99 then suck at everything else. The argument that 2K is making with this builder is that a player like Steph, Giannis, KD, or LeBron in their primes don't have multiple 99 categories in their toolbox or close to it. And that's a silly argument.

The game is 70 bucks. I can't point out that they are lazy? It's nikkas like you that are the problem. These guys have been essentially making the same game for at least the last 5 years and re-releasing it every year. Don't tell me you can't even bother to come up with a different character name because they wer too busy doing all this other shyt. GTFOH.

I haven't bought the game in the last 2 years lol. But you can't call them lazy when they made a whole new story and a whole new city. Plus everything else new. If you want to complain about something complain about pno. That shyt has been trash for years

Have you seen the video for the city? All the assets are recycled. The actors are recycled. Just about everything is recycled except the player builder which is like 70% recycled. I'm just pointing out that they are at the point where they aren't even bothering to change the name of the character. SMH. It's a point of emphasis. It tells you where to set your expectations.

City is pretty different this year. People complained it was too big so they made it 30% smaller and the affiliation parks look good. I think they did a overall good job on it this year
