The latest title in the series of gamesNBA 2K is out, and to no one’s surprise, the game is currently receiving “mostly negative” reviews on Steam as is the case with most annual releases. According to the reviews, the main problem inNBA 2K23 is that the game is actually pretty much the same as before, and the computer version is compatible with the version of the previous generation of consoles and not the more powerful current one that also gets a version with more content.
It is easy to say that most of the reviews that exist for now on the platform Steam are based on very limited playing times (some of them are written after half an hour – an hour since the launch of the game in the store) so they are more of a statement about the personal opinion of that gamer/review title, than a real criticism of the quality of the game.
What upsets gamers the most is that, once again, the PC version of the game is outdated and based on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 releases, rather than the much better next-gen releases made for the Sony PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Players complain that this approach results in the fact that the development of the game on the PC has almost stopped. The graphics and gameplay haven’t changed much since 2020, and the team’s updated lineups aren’t worth the high price that2K Applying for this year’s title.
Finally, there are also those who complain about performance issues. Both PC and console players are reporting connection issues, making it impossible to log into the game’s servers. The exact same issues appeared last year with the release of NBA 2K22. At that time they were fixed after a few hours, so we can only hope this time it will be similar.
To be fair, it should be added that not all players have a disappointing review of the game. Among those games on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, there is no shortage of positive feedback, including improvements to game search, MyCareer mode and the player editor.
We will also note that the problems of the computer version do not prevent the game from selling well. At this time, the game is in second place on Steam’s global bestseller list. The game is also getting decent player numbers. The current record is more than 11,000 concurrent users and the number is steadily increasing.
NBA 2K23 has been released on September 9and similar to the FIFA titles, the game will come with two versions, one that is adapted to the current generation of consoles, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, and another edition also for the PlayStation 4 consoles, the Xbox One, and the PC that will be forced to play on a “more basic” version without most of the features The intriguing rime in the game.
