The amount of product advertising in MT 2K23 has always been large, and in 2K23 it's such a large amount of product placement that it's funny at times. However, it's more similar to the way the league is today. Professional sports are brimming with pre-game shows that are sponsored by a single company.

Half-time shows backed by another, and post-game shows from a different company. It's oddly on-brand feature the NBA video game that has the same approach, even though it would still be better without.

Most of the on-court improvements and off-court actions on offer in NBA 2K23 make for great playability and enjoyment, particularly the new seasonal quests which provide players with plenty of incentive to try the various modes, including head-to-head games.

The fun in NBA 2K23 doesn't stop with MyCareer. There are new enhancements to MyTeam that include badges that can be applied to cards similar to the badges that are used in other modes of 2K to create a wider selection of lineups and game styles. The changes also apply in best place to buy 2k23 mt the Unlimited and Limited Competitive modes.
