Should I buy 2k 23

I've never played any sports games other than NHL and UFC and they were great, but I've seen a lot of negative reviews on 2k22 and 2k21 but im not sure if the hate is deserved or not, Is this something worth picking up for the first time or shall I just pick up another game

[La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo]

buy it on series x or ps5 dont buy this last gen version they keep giving pc lol

[blackthorne2001]

don't buy it on PC.

[Pr3t3nd3r]

Wait for epic games giving it for free or wait for a huge sale. I am sure not going to give them my money for doing nothing. They think I am a fool or what o.O It's still going to be old gen...don't expect it to be next gen!

[ele]

Not on PC or Playstation. IF you got an XBOX, go for it.

Can you please elaborate why is that? Because I own PC, PS5 and XBOX Series X version and PS5 is by far superior.

[scarboy17]

Buy it on next gen. I do the same now they don't care about the pc version instead still give the old gen version

i think he means PS4 is current gen as well as PC. Xbox isn't as hard to find right now as you can always buy an Xbox Series S at any time. PS5 is still pretty hard to find for some people i think so that's why he said that.

Well in that case it sounds logic :) You can easily find a new Series X in our country but you can't get Series S or PS5...at least not at the original price :)

But to be faur I like old gen a little bit more because it feels more responsive IMO :)

old gen too me seems like everything was cut. Like when i played NBA 2K22 on PS5 vs PC it's like night and day. in fact current gen seems worse because there is a bug with the user interface on PC that means you can't see the upload/download screen for custom team design. The other thing as well is that the story is a little different though its roughly the same. I think you only have the choice to go to college with The current gen of NBA 2K22 in NBA 2K23 you have two choices G-league and College and a plethora of other choices involving different things like agencies to sign with i think in NBA 2K22 PC Edition you're shoehorned into the Palmer Agency i think that is run by the two women.


This is why i have an issue with Current gen compared to Next Gen on PC at least. buggy user interface, bugs which make it easy for you too abuse the AI unlike in Next gen which its a lot harder to zoom pass the AI in quick exhibition play or franchise mode when you play a regular game. and a plethora of other things as well.

There are lots of bugs which are in there since 2018. They don't even bother to fix them! And they are having us for such fools that they even copy/paste their "excuse" such as "they are trying" and other bla bla bla.

My best recommendation to anyone would be stop buying and hit them where it hurt most...their budget!
