I'm no expert, but it sounds like the new NBA 2k23 game is the best one yet if you're like me and you are only interested in the single player MY NBA eras mode and the Jordan Challenge. Also it sounds like they fixed up the game play issues that ruined last year's game in terms of tightening up the player movement and improving the jump shooting.
I might get it this year, but not sure cause I just don't have a ton of time for it unless I give up all other games at the same time. And honestly, I prefer the non sports video games over sports video games if I have to choose one or the other.
