2K Games offers us a new annual release of its most famous sports simulation license with the arrival of NBA 2K23. A cross-gen edition that honors THE GOAT, Michael Jordan himself.
[Mis à jour le 7 septembre 2022 à 16h04] The biggest sports licenses meet for outings in September! Just ahead of FIFA 23, 2K Games steps into the action with NBA 2K23, the next iteration of the most popular basketball game. A release that is expected on PC, Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles, old-gen and next-gen combined. The topic of the moment: the notes of the players, which would have leaked, and which place certain big stars on the hot seat. All the information on 2K23, a little further down in this article.
We start with a small bomb dropped on Twitter very recently, the note from Russell Westbrook. The Lakers point guard has been hit hard by the rating gods as he sees his rating set at 78 for the 2023 season. the man with the triple doubles. But that’s not all, it is also the notes of the reigning NBA champions that are surprising. We are of course talking about Golden State, which stands out with a rather “weak” team compared to Stephen Curry’s score (96). We’ll let you judge for yourself, but maybe Andrew Wiggins deserved a little over 84.

The GOAT is back. The NBA 2K23 Michael Jordan Edition will honor the biggest star in basketball history, a tribute to the essential number 23, legend of the Chicago Bulls. If gameplay images are rare in this one-minute sequence, the sense of spectacle is not lacking and manages to tickle the excitement of game fans despite the quality of previous NBA 2K iterations. Indeed, the memory of a glorious NBA 2K11 floats in the memory, the last game from 2K Games to have honored the legendary guard of the Chicago Bulls. Moreover, the 10 Jordan challenges should be back in this edition since 2K Games has been announced to have updated and modernized them for the occasion.
