So I did what Damian Lillard is too afraid to do, ran from the grind and used VC to enhance my playing NBA 2K Coins. It became much more enjoyable to play games ....in-between meeting Ronnie 2K and rapping to randoms.The incorporation of the career and city mode was a great move, reducing the complexity of multiple modes and creating an enjoyable open world aspect to the game as well.

MyTEAM is undergoing some changes with the most notable being the new Clutch Time mode. It's like finding an in-between between rapidity and speed of Triple Threat mode and a full Domination game, like. This is a single quarter in a game mode that also has a 4 point line. Did I lose multiple games because I'm trying to shoot 4-pointers?

If you're someone who likes to grind through various game modes, MyTEAM always provides plenty of entertainment regarding this aspect. Two of their first special cards are a 91-rated Pau Gasol and the 93-rated Lamar Odom, which seems like they've made decisions to entice Lakers fans to buy this game.

The Jordan Challenges are another feature that has been featured in the 2K franchises at times in the past, and are always enjoyable to play. Though I haven't been able to play the entire set yet, there is a screenshot that shows Kobe Bryant and Jordan from their game in the late 1990s that is an intriguing enough teaser.

In the end, both positive changes are a step in the right direction, however it still feels like they miss the point on the main thing. While the storyline has amusing moments in the career mode, being pushed into a variety of side quests that don't really belong to the game could be frustrating and pointless for many, me included sometimes 2K23 MT Buy. There are some aspects that are still enjoyable to the gameplay, but they do a lot of ridiculous things that don't make sense, and they hold the game back.
