2k23 seems to have fixed some of the legacy issues in the first two next gen iterations. Still way too much VC-laden gimmicks/upgrades, but the core gameplay is noticeably better/smoother. The Jordan Challenge is super cool. I will also try the MyEra mode.

I was debating buying this...it's probably been over a decade since I've played a proper sports game. Used to be an NBA fanatic back in the day. All the gimmicky shit turned me off to these games years ago but if the core gameplay (e.g., just playing a normal f'ing 4Q game of Bball) is fun, smooth, and pretty, I may hop back on the wagon.

I played 22 so much I'm sick of it.. but maybe ill pick it up when it goes down to 10 bucks around all star break to do the MJ thing

22 was fun but with one of the patches along the way shooting became so difficult it lost me

I told my oldest if he could do 20 pullups I'd buy him 2k23 for the PS5. He seemed to struggle doing just 3 before the bet. I didn't think he could do it but he banged 20 out like it was his job. It was an obvious con job but a bets a bet. I played as the '83 Celtics it was fun.

The Show is including Negro League legends this year, which is very cool; no sign of the GOAT (Josh Gibson) in any of the announcements yet, but hopefully he'll be added in a later program:

With Zelda coming out soon I think I’m gonna wait a year and then get The Show next season. Or maybe after beating Zelda. Great way for my kids to learn more about the details of the sport.

Hoping the new PGA Tour is good. I want to play at Augusta on a next gen console. 30 courses at launch is insane.

Isn't there an easy mode? Or do you only play online?

The easy mode is still hard

Usually I play the diamond dynasty challenges which are set to veteran

I'm wrong I realized you can shit off the zone hitting and switch it to regular just timing n its more bearable like last year's

Still tho why is every fielder a 15x golden glove with 99 speed n a cannon arm

Sliding in to suggest you give the Charisma Program Showdown a try if you haven’t yet. I’m not a big fan of showdowns, I feel like it’s just too stressful to complete 5 moments and then get sent back to the beginning, so I usually only do them if it’s required for a program. I completed the WBC showdown after like 10-15 tries, but today I was able to get through the Charisma Showdown on my first try. Throughout the showdown you consistently get 97+ players to upgrade your squad, and any contact you make is going to be good. I think I got down to 3 outs or so remaining just once.
