This is probably my favorite 2K game since I've moved to PC. 2K20-22 felt largely the same/similar with slight balance tweaks, but 2K23 on PC feels like a breath of fresh air just for feeling like it isn't the exact same. I'm going to give the studio the benefit of the doubt and assume 2K20-22 on PC feeling so similar is a combination of COVID slowing down development and them prioritizing developing the PS5/new Xbox versions over the PS4/XBOne/PC versions. Yes, sports games will largely feel the same from year to year, but typically not to that degree. 2K16 felt different from 18, which felt different from 20-22.
Quick breakdown:
+Different animations
+Being able to change your badge points on MyPlayer freely
+MyTeam got rid of needing to add contracts to players
-It takes more VC to do less. They somehow found a way to get even greedier with their money gauging.
-I haven't seen a flagrant foul yet. Strangely enough, it seems like non-existent contact will draw a shooting or personal foul.
-MyPlayer takes place on a boat again like in 2K22, let me see some different scenery. Give us the city for the next game like next-gen has.
