NBA 2K23

NBA 2K23 is a basketball simulation where you control NBA and WNBA teams on the court. Its gameplay includes offensive moves to attack the basket and one-on-one defensive mechanics to challenge opponents. Modes let you develop a custom player in MyCAREER, collect and assemble current stars and legends in MyTEAM, manage a franchise in MyGM or MyLEAGUE, and play matchups in PLAY NOW. The Jordan Challenge recreates moments from Michael Jordan’s career. MyTEAM offers seasonal play and squad customization, while MyGM and MyLEAGUE focus on shaping a team or the league. The supplied notice says server-dependent functions stopped working after the multiplayer servers shut down on December 31, 2024.

Play NBA and WNBA basketball, develop a custom MyPLAYER, build squads of stars and legends, or manage a franchise.
