Introducing NBA 2K23. With a comfortable operation and the legend of Jordan, I like basketball that I didn't know well about the rules.

NBA 2K23 released by 2K (Japanese version is take-to-interactive Japan) is the latest in the NBA 2K series. You can operate a real NBA (North American professional basketball league) or original players to play basketball games. Compatible platforms are PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5/Xbox Series ONE/Xbox X | S/Nintendo Switch/PC (Steam).

This article introduces the contents of the game of NBA 2K23 based on Michael Jordan's edition PS5 (next-generation machine version) provided by Take Two Interactive Japan. By the way, I have no knowledge of the NBA, and I am quite beginners who do not know the details of the basketball rules. I was able to play this work and enjoy it enough, so let's deliver it with a review. The operation method is based on Danseuse, a PS5 controller.

Work Overview

This work has various modes. If it is roughly classified, there is no training element and the Playboy mode can be played with CPU or other players immediately. My Character mode that creates and plays original players. My Team mode where you can collect real NBA players and form a dream team. It is divided into My NBA mode, which operates NBA teams, including not games, such as winning players.

Depending on the mode, the player operates one of the teams or multiple players turn off, and hits the ball while connecting the ball to aim for scoring. When operating multiple players turn, press the ✕ button to give another player a ball path during the offense, and when defense, the players to be operated will be switched. In this player switching, the players who are closest to the ball are given priority, so even if this is the defense, it will be possible to operate smoothly. Even if your opponent turns the pass one after another, you can immediately operate your team players near the ball. It was a very convenient system that could handle with minimal operations even in a busy scene.

The entrance is simple, but the more you go to the back, the wider operating system **

First, one of the reasons why even beginners of basketball can enjoy this work are the wide range of difficulty choices. The difficulty of this work is a rookie, semi-pro, professional, all-star, superstar, and six levels in the Hall of Fame. By choosing the difficulty that suits you, you will be able to play without difficulty. I chose the most difficult rookie. It wasn't too easy, and I was able to enjoy this work with just the right difficulty. For example, in the first game, the battle was in the middle of the game, and the game was developed to win five or six points behind the end of the operation. Even the basketball beginner could win comfortably. On the other hand, if you are a skilled player, you will be able to play a more difficult and chewy game. The width of the difficulty of choosing a player was a thankful creator for the writer who is a beginner and inexperienced in the series.

Furthermore, the simple operation is also a part that I was attractive. The most basic operation can be performed with a single button, such as a □ button for depression, and an L2 trigger when defending. On the other hand, there are applied techniques. Open the operation method from the game menu to check them. Beginners may be faced by the number of items.

For example, there are 24 explanations in the shooting category alone, and if you look at the breakdown, you can see that there are seven types of dunk shots al1. In addition to the basic buttons, a wide variety of variations is realized by combining other buttons, triggers, and stick movements. For example, in the dunk shots mentioned earlier, the two-hand dunk that is performed with both hands has an explanation that keeps the R stick down while holding the R2 trigger.

Of course, it would be difficult to learn all these techniques. If you are a beginner like the author, you may be in a diverse lineup. However, if you can use these techniques well, it is also true that you will have the expectation that you can play more variously. It is motivated not only to earn points and win, but also to play more brilliantly and cool. It would be a pleasure to aim for stylish play, such as so-called fascinating play.

By the way, my favorite is Triple Slept's Cross Spin Out. This is the movement when dodging the enemy's defense during dribbling. Instead of moving left and right to avoid enemies, it is a technique to make a turn in front of the enemy and pull it out. The movement is gorgeous and cool, and it feels good when you pass through the defense. If it is decided, it will be two birds with one st1. By the way, triples lets are a basketball term that refers to a position that can be shifted to three movements: dribbling, pass, and shooting. It is a technology that makes a series of movements smooth.

A wealth of mode to enjoy basketball from various angles **

Next, I would like to introduce the two modes that I felt particularly attractive among the game mode of this work. First is the My Character mode. This is a story mode, and you can create an original character and join your favorite professional team and play.

The content of the story is that the rookie's protagonist grows little by little as a player and aims to succeed in the NBA. In this mode where the protagonist who just joined the professional team follows the story, it is easy to get into the story even if the knowledge of basketball and NBA is shallow. The author was in the professional world in the same way as the hero who did not know the right or left.

The protagonist has a powerful rival player of the same generation, and he will play the game with him. Rivals are a bit unpleasant to say clearly that they suddenly provoke from the first meeting, and after that, they came to the protagonist. He was sometimes messed up with the behavior, but when he won the reversal in the game, he felt happier. As described above, My Career Mode was an attractive mode that could be easily empathized by the presence of freshly made professionals and competitors.

The second mode I especially recommend is the JORDAN Challenge mode. In this mode, you will aim to clear the given mission. The missions are 15 feats that Michael Jordan actually achieved during the match. Michael Jordan, of course, is a great basketball player that is still handed down. The name is that the writer who does not even have the rules of basketball is roaring.

In the Jordan Challenge mode, the player challenges his feats as Michael Jordan. For example, in a legendary game where he scored 63 points in one game in the NBA playoff (*), players will also aim for 63 points in the same way. Although Jordan had a high status, etc., it was a difficult challenge for the beginner. By the way, 63 scores in reality have not yet been broken. In this mode, you can know how amazing the records of such Jordan players are. It is a unique game to be able to relive Jordan's legends that no one could imitate.

(*) NBA playoffs ……… Tournament-style games held by the top teams of East and West leagues (conference) after the regular season

Furthermore, the appeal of this mode is not only the content of the mission. Thanks to the special video filter, you can enjoy the atmosphere at that time. It is a nostalgic, CRT TV style screen. It is also made with subtitles, etc., and it excites the feeling of watching the game at that time. Jordan's fans will be able to re-experience the excitement of the time by their own operations.

As I touched on the history of Michael Jordan in the Jordan Challenge mode, I became interested in other NBA players. In many modes of this work, you can see the play trends and the award history from the basic information such as the height and weight of each player on the player replacement screen in the game. I read such a profile eagerly and checked other records in the NBA. It is no exaggeration to say that if you notice it, you will be addicted to the NBA. The Jordan Challenge mode showed the greatness of Jordan, even for those who don't even have the rules of basketball like me. It also made me interested in the NBA.

As I wrote so far, NBA 2K23 is a title that even inexperienced in the series can enjoy without any problems. Even if you are not familiar with NBA and basketball, there are elements that will trigger interest. Therefore, it was a work that even those who did not even have the rules would like basketball.

For those who like basketball or those who don't know well like the author, if you are worried, please pick up the NBA 2K23. A splendid play that makes full use of the technique, the life of NBA player in the original character, the challenge of Michael Jordan's legend, the operation experience of the NBA team... No matter how you play, you will never be a basketball and NBA captive. It will be.

NBA 2K23 is on sale at PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5/Xbox Series ONE/Xbox X | S/Nintendo Switch/PC (Steam).
