Unlike FIFA, Switch Gamers Are Getting The Newest Mode In NBA 2K23

Wait. Somebody's buying EA games?!? Crazy world we live in!

I'm a huge NBA fan and I like Nba2k... but the file size is so huge - I found the game experience more about transferring files around to make it work.

A good example of a series probably best played elsewhere.

Nice to have features but still think that $99.99 price tag is a little too much Its half the price of a Switch Lite.

@Coxula I don't know, but this one isn't from EA but instead published by 2K.

For all the faults NBA2K has, you gotta put some respect on the devs for actually putting out full, exact same as all other consoles version of the game, with rock solid framerate and good visuals on Switch.

@Sonos Do you know the file size for this game? I'd love to get it but the price tag and the file size worries me a lot.

I'm not sure - the last one was over 41MB - only MH Sunbreak comes close and thats still half the size of Nba.

I've been leaning towards buying a PS or Xbox this holiday - I've all but decided to buy it on one of those. By the time I do the game will be discounted 60% or more.

Thats the thing with this series - They give away the razor to sell you the blades. They will be releasing every holiday version of MJ - trying to grab the fanatic who thinks they need them all.

Pretty cool to see the Jordan challenges back. That said, this years game isn’t doing much for me despite me being invested in the NBA. It doesn’t look like there’s anything really new this year outside of those challenges. The gameplay seems the same, the MyCareer mode seems the same whether you’re on current or next gen, and everything 2K has shown so far looks pretty identical.

Last year they at least revamped the shooting mechanics, improved defense, and added the really cool cruise location for MyCareer. It actually felt like a worthwhile upgrade. This year they haven’t shown a single reason for me to pick it up outside of the Jordan challenges. As of now, I’ll just stick to 2K22 and download an updated roster for MyLeague.

@Coxula lazy ea can't even port over madden, let alone port a decent version of fifa lol. I can't believe people support ea at all. I have an Xbox Series S and I won't even buy Madden on that just because of ea skipping Nintendo Switch!

@Sonos I highly recommend the 1TB SanDisk Micro SD Card! I have it, and it's the Best thing I've purchased in a very long time!

@NintendoEternity Maybe EA knows most Nintendo fans hate EA?

@Sonos we can only wish it was only 41mb lol.

I usually pick these games up when they go under $10. Got 2k19 for $3 and 20 for $5. I skipped 21 but I might have to get 22 even though I'm a Pistons fan. I'm not so blind to know that MJ is still the greatest player in NBA history.

@Spoony_Tech I grab them once the season starts - at that point they always go for less than 20bucks and I feel it is still a current roster. I enjoy opening the free gacha packs and seeing if you get some mega card people might want.

My Hawks are looking like a team this year!

I just play NBA2K for the franchise modes, which I feel is best on Switch due to all the reading required.

Yeah I think I might bite on my first basketball game in years. MJ is the Goat, that would be a ton of fun to play through.

Americans may love this news, but for the majority of the rest of the world, FIFA is the one that matters. I find it baffling that that they hold the biggest sport in the world, in such low regard when it comes to switch. Actually I don't really care anymore, EA can go and burn in a dumpster fire for all I care.
