The game includes all five players and also new additions such as Jalen Brunson as well as bench players like Obi Toppin as well as Derrick Rose.Going into this year's edition of the famous basketball simulation NBA 2K23 MT, I had initially believed that NBA 2K23's scores would be favorable to those who play for the Chicago Bulls after a bounceback year that saw the team earn a pair of All-Star invitations in Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan as well as an All-Rookie team selection including Ayo Dosunmu. And even an All-NBA selection for DeRozan.

However, I could not be more than. Several members of the Chicago Bulls have been penalized points from where they finished this year, with none of them earning an overall rating of 90 or higher.15 players in the league scored 90 or more, signalling that the consensus view in all of the players is that Bulls are lacking a star who could lead Chicago to a win. Even aside from Chicago's All-Star pair, 2K seems overall dismissive of the talent on this team.

Despite the fact that Michael Jordan graces the front cover, NBA 2K23 couldn't be more off in its assessment of how great these present Chicago Bulls are. 2K has four currently Bulls players ranked among the best 100 players in the sport. DeRozan and LaVine sit in the 19th and 23rd spots respectively, while Nikola Vucevic is ranked No. 59 and Lonzo ball comes in at No. 73. A little surprisingly, Andre Drummond is rated as Chicago's fifth best player, and barely makes it to the top five.

The team's ratings as a whole are the worst they've ever had. The Bulls backcourt suffers major hits, as Alex Caruso, Coby White, and Dosunmu have been all demoted one spot when the it is common sense to expect them to all be better next season. Dosunmu's rating of 76 overall is particularly egregious, as he was recently named All-Rookie Buy 2K MT. The all-rookie second Team guard Josh Giddey posted roughly equal stats in comparison to Dosunmu (and was heavily dominated by Ayo when it came to head-to-head games) as a starter , however he received a far superior 82 overall score.
