It’s 2K so….. Why are the attributes so expensive? You might get the first 2 for cheap, after that it jumps by like 6-700. Which probably wouldn’t be a headache if the VC earnings weren’t so low. Mechanics are terrible. There’s like a 2 second delay from the time you shoot until the ball is actually released. So it’s a blocked shot. Same with the passing. The ball doesn’t get passed right away, so you try to pass again, and it’s a turnover. If you actually DO manage to get the pass to an open teammate, they literally stand there with the ball until a defender comes before they attempt the shot 😑. Ball handling/security or whatever is at 80, with the unpluckable badge, and you still get 85 turnovers a game. “Leave defensive assignment” penalty comes up a lot when you’re actually guarding your guy and you’re NOWHERE near the action. CPU basketball IQ is trash, but only for your team. Again, it’s 2K, so my expections were already low, but at this point it plays like NBA Live with better graphics.

Great Game, Bad Controls, Laggy Online. So I’ve played many of the 2KXX Mobile games in the past and I will say that the controls have been slightly annoying. Don’t like how you have to click the right joystick to switch players on defense as often times it will register a swipe instead. Dribble moves seemed to have been limited and the dribble moves only work during specific animations. I remember previous versions that had a better usage of the dribble moves as well as had more dribble moves (such as being able to step back without taking a shot by pulling the dribble stick to the back-left or back-right. The intense-D also hasn’t been as good as I remember it but that also might just be a reflection of the player you are wielding. I’m not sure. I know the online multiplayer part of the game is new (at least to me) but it is pretty laggy and not a great experience. Otherwise, the game looks amazing and it’s the best video quality I have seen. It is still very fun to play and feels just like playing 2K on your phone which is what most people care about.

I know it’s early. Great features, great, gameplay, and very nice graphics. I really like the fact that we get to play with legends and that we also have actual commentary now, but here’s a problem I want to address and some things I would like to see going forward. The problem: When creating your player, as soon as you start to edit the height, weight, or wingspan there is a glitch with your attributes that resets it back to the default and it’s a little frustrating so I hope that gets corrected with updates. Suggestions for the future: More customization for our players such as new hairstyles, tattoos, and accessories. More balanced builds like how it is on the consoles (playmaking slashers, two-way builds, stretch bigs etc..) being able to unlock certain animations once your attributes max out (i.e. my player started off with an 83 driving dunk got the plus 3 boost but I couldn’t get the contact dunk package) Being able to switch our team jerseys to throwback ones or city editions. That’s all I have to say for now but this is definitely the most realistic basketball game I’ve played so far I just think you guys could add a little more.

Association mode. This game is very realistic but there are some issues with the association mode. More specifically free agency and resigninging players. It is very unrealistic in the sense of contract extensions because your star player that you drafted won’t sign an extension with you after 3 years of being in the league. Instead it they just sign to a different team for 1 year 10 mill and the game won’t let you resign them. Another issue is with signing new free agent. When I try to sign a star they’re never in free agency. Instead they have already signed with a new team before I enter free agency. This eliminates the chances of me signing a good player even if I’m in a large market team like the knicks. If not everything else works smoothly. I don’t know if this is happening for everyone else but please fix it because it really ruins a great game and a great association mode.

Have fun raging. Ok where to begin. First off, out of all the basketball games on mobile this is definitely the best one. However, if you don’t use a controller then I pray for your phone because you will most certainly want to throw it across the room. Press shoot while driving, press pass when you want to pass and it will be late to register and you will get blocked, go out of bounds, or turn it over every single time. The game modes are slimmed down (probably for good reason) but if the computer AI can run plays then why can’t I? Why can’t I choose who’s matching up against who? Oh and defense? Don’t even get me started on defense. The “defense” button you hold down to help stay on your man is useless. One pick and roll and your guy is screwed instantly switching and now a center is guarding the PG so good luck getting a stop. It’s fun when you appreciate having a console or the game on PC, but for somebody who doesn’t, god it is frustrating. There is just absolutely no freedom for play styles or people who want to play the game who love basketball for all of its glory. Just don’t expect that since you’re paying 5$ a month to play it on Apple’s Ponzi scheme of a subscription model that you’re gonna play a decent game. It’s borderline broken.

Could be better. The gameplay is okay. You have either pro or casual controls and pro gives you more control of what the character does but it’s still extremely hard to find a balance of movement with the left stick. Not sure what you could do to fix that because the movement is fine it’s just difficult to control the character and I find him going all over the place and don’t feel in control while on defense. There’s connection issues with the online matches in my player. I do hope that with future patches the connection can get better. Every match I played which was only about five last night had a connection issue. Only truly got to play two of the games from start to finish. I will say that the graphics look great for a mobile game and that the game feels like you picked up 2K for your console system besides the controls and matchmaking system having connection issues. It’s very solid to play if you play CPUs again defense is tough but playing on offense feels good and the pro controls really help for driving layups. Also they have good tutorials that explain how to play. Recommended if you haven’t already went through the tutorials. Overall I think there’s improvements that can happen here. Worth a download if you like playing basketball or basketball games in general.

I love the game BUT…….. Okay, the game is great and I play it all the time. But there’s something that is honestly driving me absolutely crazy. If you have to look at any different app for more than 15 seconds, the whole game is lost and the game app reboots like you just opened it. I can’t tell you how many games get reset in the 3rd or 4th quarter. It really do stop me from playing it as much as I would and this is really the only good sports game on Apple Arcade at the moment. Apple definitely needs to get some better game asap because with this game closing on me all the time, I might just cancel my subscription until there are more games than just a couple that are really good.

Jumpshots and shooting. Everything about the game is good the graphics the gameplay etc. But the one problem I see is that it is sometimes hard for me to make a jumpshot with a player even though they can shoot well and I think it’s because I’m used to not having a bar. This may not be a problem for everyone, but I was just wondering can you guys please add the no bar option just like how it is on the console game. Cause I think that will make it easier for the people who are used to no bar shoot the ball easier

Good BUT could be Better. The game is fun to play I personally enjoy it I love the association and new features the online as well the game becomes laggy here and there now I speak for everyone that we wish that there was more customization like be able to get tattoos get New Jerseys by connecting with nba players like nba 2k20 aside that the only thing stopping me from giving a 5 star would be that I get annoy every time I play the game anywhere from my house it always downloading the same thing I downloaded in the beginning it’s really annoying but as from that I’m enjoying the game only wish we had more customization and the game would be perfect

My Opinion. The game is amazing for basketball lovers and has amazing graphics and did a good job trying to recreate the console version but my problem is in my career or my player that when your overall is higher then the starting player overall it’s not fair that you can’t be a starter even if your overall is higher then the current starting player. The game has another problem in my career or my player that when you go to multiplayer to play a random person it’s really laggy and hard to play and then it’s no fun anymore. I have a suggestion for the game is that I’ve been starting to see these basketball videos were you can put famous people in the game by creating them like ishowspeed Mr beast Kai Cenat I have watch these videos by a person called med And also like everyone is in there prime expect Lebron James that stuff but I have tried to figure out how to do that in the game but no success I’ve also figured out in the original nba2k23 you can go to the Kobe era or something and can restart player’s career but again no success i think if you create a game and want to do the mobile version you should make it the exact same game but on mobile and make mobile corrections but that’s it so that is my suggestion.

Weird game tactics. This game is fun but sometimes you run into stuff that dont make sense, for one if im a starter dont take me out for the entire quarter , they only do it if you are doing really good or really bad it makes no sense, just because im doing good in the game doesn’t mean take me out for an entire quarter, we need to be able to control coach settings, i want to be able to call timeouts and let my player play how long he wants or for how short , plus on hof the AI Double teams alot and its annoying your team never helps with double teams not not like the enemy team does

Great game but add more for 2k24 and a later update. The gameplay is amazing but I you guys can do better so can you please make it more like the console 2k so can you add the ability for us to make our own jumpshot and jumpshot speed for our super star player in my career also add more shoes and accessories for our my player and add the ability for us to player lock in the association and to add badges as well but overall the game is fun but hall of fame needs to be a lil nerf cause even if you have badges you still can’t make any thing but that’s all, I love the gameplay and love how you guys added takeover but maybe just maybe add double take over and lastly thank you for the game:)

This is the same 2k mobile every year!. This is literally the same game as the past 2 years. You guys just slapped the updated cover on it but made no attempt to update the game itself. The same bugs every year. Full court double teams in my career that leads to unnecessary turnovers. Why am I double teamed full court with 10 points? Why does my team automatically double team someone full court leading to an easy bucket by the center???? Why can’t we influence trades in my career???? Why is it the same system for building your player as the last 3 2k mobile games? No update for your myplayer build? Why are players hitting fadeaway 3 pointers heavily contested???? Especially when they can’t shoot them wide open in real life?!?! I really hope there is at least a LITTLE effort put into making 2k24 mobile. A little is all I ask. Still very fun to play nonetheless!

Another Great Looking NBA Game, But Even More Impossible than Last Year!. I love the NBA 2K games and I am thankful that they are on Apple Arcade now. I’ve been playing all of them since 12, but this one, as beautiful as it is, needs some balancing included. No matter who your team is, your shooting percentage will vary between 3% and 20% whereas your opponent, again no matter who it is, will consistently have a 100% field goal percentage and a 75% three point percentage. It kinda kills the realism of the game that is otherwise so well implemented. Maybe make the CPU just miss the occasional shot from 30 feet while doubled and that will help?

My career build system. The my career build system needs an update. Even after updating certain attributes, it only lets you go up to a certain percentage. Overall, I am really impressed by this game so far this year as the developers really took the time to listen to reviews. The game is a few minor tweaks to certain things but this is definitely a huge upgrade from 2K 22 thank you to the developers for delivering a better game just a few minor improvements and this game will definitely be one of the best.

Good but could be great. This is a good game and I definitely recommend. But there are a few changes. First the rookies have no hair. Second and I have asked this before: REPLAY MODE. Some of the animations are great in this game and even with game replays they sometimes miss the good ones so that could be a good fix. Third: CUSTOMIZATION; look I get there is no real good way to make money off this game but at least let us edit more about a player then their attributes and position. Plus being able to make a player would be sick as well. Fourth: shooting needs to be easier. But it’s good but I wish they put more effort into these games besides copying and pasting the game and updating its roster.

Great game, needs a few changes to make it 5 stars. Great game from game play to graphics A+. Only thing that would make it so much better is being able to save in game. Both in franchise mode and my player. I play 12 min quarters and don’t always have enough time to finish the game. Having a save option so I can pick up where I left off would be amazing. Secondly sometimes the buttons I feel are too small. I know it’s hard to make them bigger on an iOS app but maybe having them spaced out and slightly larger would help with this issue. Sometimes I think my finger is on the button and it isn’t and I go for a block or rebound or pass or shot and I miss the button and timing and desired action. Overall great game.

NBA2K COULD DO BETTER. This is probably the best 2k mobile game that resembles the 2k game on a console the best it has blacktop n play offline. However, i must say career mode is really buggy at least for me whenever i play a game a center or SF or both become invisible on either teams. Also, playing multiplayer is really laggy and it matchmaking takes so long, if not possible at least make offline more fun by adding cosmetics you can earn by achieving certain requirements or levels. Cosmetics could be such as new shoes or different color ways for jerseys since seeing the same ones becomes boring. Please consider it’ll make arcade so much more fun. Keep up the good work by updating the players looks i really liked that btw

Good game but please add this. So when I go to manage roster you know how in nba 2k 22 console one you can add abilities like ankle breaker 99 or 5m but when I go to edit player in a all star team I can’t change his team or edit his skills so may you please fix this one thing and also my career build is to op like when I use my take over I throw it up from full court swish and even with out it I played with gsw for 4 years 3/4 years my team won the nba championship now that I play with Dallas I avg 40 points 90 percent in fgs and 87 percent in 3 point percentage and I won 2 nba champion ship and my team even went 75 and 7 so may you make it so you can also change the shot meter as well as add badges like ankle breaker 99 so you can play like one of those uncle drew videos on YT overall I suggest you should play the game. (You should fill the stadium up with more crowd so it’s not only like 50 people)

Great experience. I have been playing 2k for over ten years on ps4, switch, ps5 and pc. it is my first time playing on iOS and I have to admit that it is more than surprising that its performance is even better than some version of 2k on Nintendo switch. Without purchasing option, 2k made the game more attractive. Besides, with ps5 controller or backbone controller, the game gets even closer to the console version. However, even playing on iPhone 14 pro max, after about 30 minutes of playing, my phone gets so hot that I have to remove the protective case. Meanwhile, the fps decreases apparently to about 15 which worsens the whole experience. Wish 2k would optimize it.

Bug report. This is an awesome game and fun to play even though I rage sometimes. But I got a bug that occurs often. Okay so you know the scoreboard on your screen where it also shows your teammate rating like A+ or C- and where it shows the score for the game. So when I get off the bench or just get back from a timeout it DISAPPEARS! It is so frustrating because I can’t remember the score that well and most of the time when that happens my team is up by like 6 or 10 points and it’s 4th quarter so I just sim to the end of the game and we just LOSE by like 2 or 3 points and there was only 3 minutes left before I simmed to the end! Please fix this bug it is really frustrating. Sincerely, Dogamer

I can’t get defensive badges. First of I love the game, have played 4 seasons and have found a lot of these reviews about needing to fix the graphics or expand the game in some way which I think is going to take time with a mobile game that’s already blown my expectations. Most time I’ve ever spent on a mobile game. I don’t know if this is just me but I have a 90 over with 30 steal 30 block and 1 defensive badge. I have made other classes to see if it was my error but no classes I make even fully defensive big men, I never get the points to my defense I put in or any badges. I want to be able to get insane blocks and rebounds but my guy just sits there with his hands up missing balls right in front of him. This game gets 5 stars if It'll let me play defense!!!

Love this game , BUT. I play this game every single day and I love it but there is this one thing that I just cannot stand. The outcome of the game is pretty much decided no matter how good you play. I hate when my player is taken out when I’m helping us win and I can’t do anything about it. Then they put your bench players in and now you’re losing by 10 points and you have to bring it back somehow while your AI teammates don’t block for you or help you so you’re pretty much by yourself. You should be able to control the other players to block opponents from making shots. Also the game slows down midgame..some kinda glitch. Fix the bugs and this game is 5 stars

Great game. Oh how I love this game been a huge 2k fan since 2002 . It’s such a wonderful thing that I can play 2k on my iPhone and it feels exactly like the console. Please do not mess this up. All the next 2k needs is better graphics and please please please add icon passing. I use a controller w my iPhone so I’m playing this game very similar to the console but my R1 button is useless when it could be used for icon passing which is almost a must because a lot of times that’s how you hit the open guy instead of the one that’s covered. So please add icon passing besides that everything is great. If graphics can get better then that’ll be even better

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!. This game is honestly time consuming and they try to make it so much like the console version, gameplay wise, that the “my player” version isn’t even worth your time or money, since you have to pay for Apple Arcade to have this garbage haha… Honestly it’s fun when your drunk and have a day off to spend with your phone plugged into a wall and are that bored of your console/people in your life 🤧 With that being said, don’t play it if your trying to make your own player and actually have fun for over a month. Remember. This is a phone video game, and will never be interesting unless you make it interesting. Game needs a whole lot of new ideas. A lot of them. Lates.

Cool game but…?. The game is cool and all. Realistic too but why is it that im always having to redownload the moment I turn on the game? Even the commentary package? It gets annoying and it wasn’t like that when I first ever downloaded the game. Once everything was already downloaded, every time I was getting on the game, never had to worry about redownloading everything. I can play the game right now, save it and get off. Get back on 2 hrs from now and got to redownload everything. None of the other 2ks do that. Weird. Other than that, cool game.

first surprised BUT mediocre. Except4the new comment and new mode I don’t see any other improvement As a loyal 2k fans What i rly need is what the player rly like in the real life not the face that produced at random and almost the same (still many players has this feature )and i still feel slippery when I control my own player playing in the court etc. To come to a conclusion it’s still a good game on mobile BUT it still has a long way to go in the future ,hope the upcoming patch can improve it .I really hope this game is getting better and not end up with just refreshing the roster every year and call it"the brand new basketball game"

I know it’s only in its 1st version but…. Yeah yeah I know it’s a great game but a MAJOR and I mean MAJOR so yeah in association please add the 3 point contest and a dunk contest also add classics mode to play as older players and there old team not just the best on that team like start from 1965 to 2023 and also add create shoe and also replay mode also my gm would be cool and in my career can we add a city for clothes shoes and tattoos and they would be amazing and I love the game just saying and I think if you put them you’ll have a great game that no one will be bored of in 2023 and wait everyday for NBA 2k24 arcade edition please see this because if you do you’ll have an amazing game for the year and please respond if you can Apple Arcade By ~an apple arcade NBA fan

Some people don’t know basketball…. To the guy who complained about the CPU picking up your player and you getting penalized for “leaving assignment”, there is nothing wrong there. You’re supposed to pick up the CPUs assignment, because of a pick play. It’s literally basic basketball and there is nothing wrong with this aspect. At least know how basketball works before you complain about a game. This game is incredible all the way around. The only thing I don’t care for are the daily upgrades and downloads. Other than that, amazing game.

I love it but…. I love the game. It’s definitely very good graphic wise, and the gameplay is very fun. However one thing I wish they would add, is the ability to fantasy draft with the all time teams and players and maybe add the ability to make a few more changes in the association settings. I can’t see my individual player stats for my team in the association mode either. I’d like to be able to change my Jerseys. One more change, is the fantasy draft order. I’m always first and I don’t like that, randomize the fantasy draft order because I want to play with different combination of players. The same players are always available because I’m always the same picks. Other than that, Love it! Y’all should try to get a football game to arcade 👀

i’ve had this game since release , best mobile bb game. This game is one of the best games i’ve played on mobile. 2k22 arcade was really good , and this topped it by a long shot. There are many things that could possibly be added to this game. Things such as: Updated badges, more clothing, tattoos, more diverse builds, build names, a better online thing (park maybe ?) , a reward system, and many other things that could be done with this game. I know it’s a lot to be added but , hey , there is a good chance they might add it but we gonna find out in 2K24 Arcade!

Great but buggy.. PLEASE IMPLEMENT A SAVE GAME OR AUTOSAVE FOR A GAME IN PROGRESS. I’m so tired of having my last 30 minutes being lost because someone decide to FaceTime me during a mycareer game. There’s no play calling / play vision for guards at all. You can’t see where your badge progression is during the menu screen only after a game. A simple replay feature is also missing. You have the resources , it’s wouldn’t be extremely difficult. And speaking of reply’s you can’t even skip the action replays or player of the game scenes. Other than these footnotes I think the game is a extremely enjoyable for the most part and it brings the ps4/Xbox one era graphics engine to phone at a stable frame rate which is so impressive, but minor things for fidelity would be appreciated if your phone can handle it, a simple graphics option would suffice for things like lens flares Camera flashes Depth blur. And IM SO SURPRISED YOU DONT HAVE THE OPTION TO BUY VC! I’m not complaining, the grind has never been this fun in the last decade of basketball games.

Weird glitch. I can’t attach a screenshot but there’s this strange glitch that impacts gameplay. At this point it’s pointless to fix in 2K23 but definitely needs to be fixed in 24. I don’t know if it’s in other parts of the game because I only use MyCareer lol. But there are at least three players who are put in games, but they’re invisible. There’s no character while they are on the floor. You can see the ball bouncing with the orange marking under them when they are on offense. When they are on defense the white circle under them partly appears if they are guarding you (so if they are guarding another player or standing in the paint there’s just a void where there should be a player). It impacts play because I’m throwing passes that are intercepted by people I don’t even know are there sometimes & it’s a lot harder to guard someone you can’t see. It’s happening with Max Christie, Jaden Hardy, and another player who’s name I can’t remember but the last name is Wesley. If you don’t have clearance to use their likeness, take them off. If you do and don’t have an image (which doesn’t make sense, you should AT least have one from college), make one up. Jonathan Kuminga’s character doesn’t look like him nor does Jaden Ivy…do to them what y’all did to these two and several others lol. But definitely fix it because it’s frustrating.

“My Career” needs fixed. In the “My Career” mode - you can only play as your created character, which is fine, but there’s nothing you can do to change the outcome of the game. It’s very obvious that the computer decides whether you’re going to win or lose and you will know pretty early on. And near the end of the game, there is absolutely nothing you can do to change the outcome. You’ll be hitting shots all game long, but at the end of the game all the sudden you’re going to go 0-20 and I kid you not…You’ll miss every layup too. Late in the game your star player will hog the ball and not pass it to you even if it’s a close game and then he’ll take some random mid range jumper instead of the three that is needed. The other thing that’s frustrating is you get points for every good thing that you do…Including little fundamentals like setting a pick or poking the ball away. And you lose points for fouls, missed steals, and bad position…things like that. Well you need to hold the right stick over to play defense, but 75% of the time, when you go to play defense with the right stick, it tries to steal and then you get points subtracted for a missed steal. Same happens with a block shot. It’s just really frustrating. The game has great potential, but man…“my career” needs to be fixed

NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition Rating. This game is nice! However here are a few things that should be immediately added to the game for it to get better ratings and be more fun. *In MyCareer Mode,there should be an option to change into different team jerseys because I’m tired of seeing and playing in the same Home and Away jerseys in every game I play. *Pregame Interviews, Postgame interviews and other interviews should be added to this version of the game as well just to make the game more attractive to the public and make it fun to play. *Also, I think that the neighborhood and MyPark should be added to this version as well if possible. I hope my comments would be read and acted upon. Thank you. I also think many different plays should be added to the game as well instead of just being able to only do pick and rolls.

The ai are cheating?. So when I was guarding the ball the Celtics went for a lay up the ball frozed for a second then the ball started to bugging out and moving weird the way the ball was going shouldn’t went in the next bc is bugging and mad lag to also the npc are also hitting the players arm? When I went to do a layup a npc hit Anthony davis arm and the referee didn’t say that a foul and most time when I’m being fouled it not a foul at the start of the game there was a offside interference foul my player was dead ok the floor and he didn’t get up until 15 seconds idk but the game is good in all juts the npc need to be more realistic and like the real players in nba

Good but bad. So I’m just playing the mode the greatest and it’s has the players at like a 80 ovr like that’s not the greatest cuz if they were one of the greatest they would be higher ovr and when the player don’t even jump they call a shooting foul like you need to jump for a shooting foul and when the defender don’t even touch the player with the ball it’s a shooting foul and also the game it don’t make much sense to me like for the trick layups when I do what it says it don’t do anything but run to the basket then run just into the barrier and that’s annoying and the players are trash like curry don’t shoot like curry and people that aren’t in the NBA could beat the players

Super frustrating. Super frustrating- zero improvement from 2022 Here’s a couple of thing that are a super annoying part of the game. When you’re playing My GM in free agency, in order to find a good player available, you have to scroll down about 5 minutes to the bottom of the list. There is no option to filter certain players out. There is also no option to save and Quit the actuall game that you’re playing on MYGM - I have to play the full game or the game will be canceled AND there is no option to sim to the end. For some reason in MYgm every other game, wether he’s on ur team or not Kevin Durant will shrink and become 6 Feet tall. The game does not allow you to turn off Double teaming at the end of a game which costs me many games. All the rookies are just fake players, they look nothing like the real guys and TBH all the black players they made with the exact same model. In free agency, all the good players get signed before you have a chance to sign them. They just won’t show up in free agency, and then they sign with other teams automatically. Also the announcers talk like they’re announcing in 2019. They won’t speak about a player past 2020 2 stars because I do appreciate them making the game for iPhone

Great game but needs some updates. I would love if the nba players like who came from the draft specifically this years draft like scoot,victor, and Brandon I also would like how for next years prospects it automatically showed real people for next years prospects. I would also like if you edit players more and change there hair or there badges and hot shooting spots and etc… I would also like if you change players ages aswell so we can keep our players longer if thier about to retire. The final thing is when your doing the quick games and you try change your team in the settings to have all time greats on your team aswell it cancels and we can’t get them I would love with Jordan or rose even LeBron it would be a fun time seeing how they all together but we can’t do that unless you fix. I think other that it’s a really good game.

Disappointing. I haven’t played a 2k in 10 years, and I’m not sure if the console version runs the same, but this iPad version is so slow and totally fails to capture the speed and fluidity of a basketball game. Think you’ve got a wide open layup at the rim? Nope, every player takes longer to go up with it than Jonas V. Worse, and I was afraid this would be a problem going in, the AI is absolutely atrocious and plays nothing like the modern NBA with its pick & roll game and rapid-fire 3 pointers. My first game against the Pelicans, Zion touched the ball once in the entire first half. Come on now. And the guards just dribble aimlessly on the perimeter; there are never any quick hit moves and drives or improvisational, quick-hit possessions. I suspect this mobile version may be gimped, but either way it’s no fun.

NBA 2K23 Arcade Edition. I’m a huge basketball fan. I play basketball and love playing 2K with friends and this game brings the most authentic NBA experience to a phone which is insane. The addition of actual commentary from people like Kevin Harlan makes it even more authentic and really immerses you. I have an iPhone 12 Pro and on max settings this game runs perfect with no frame drops whatsoever and a very smooth performance. Apple and 2K have really made something special this year and this game alone is worth it to pay for Apple Arcade. It’s also a great game to play with friends. Great job 2K.

Great game but buggy. This is probably one of the most realistic games i’ve ever seen for mobile. it also does a great job of making it so much like the console version of 2k, however there are some issues. These issues mainly happen in mycareer, the most prominent being that sometimes when you’re assingned to a player, if a cpu player runs by it’ll make that cpu guard the person that you were guarding and you’re supposed to guard the person they left, then you get penalized for “leaving your assignment” but you were with your player the whole time, it just randomly switched to someone across the court. There are also some issues with the camera in mycareer where it will only stay in one place and the only way to fix it is by closing the app. All in all great game but please fix these glitches, they are hindering progress of the player greatly by having to close the game mid match or have a great score and then go down by a letter grade because you “left your assignment”.

Great game but missing a bunch of players after last update. Hi I love this game very much but am kinda frustrated after the latest patch, because a LOT of players that were available in the game BEFORE that latest patch, are now not in the game anymore? Can you please fix this please, as I like to play association mode with the correct rosters. The following players are just some of the ones I can think of off the top of my head that are now missing after the latest update: Springer for PHI, AJ Green, Carlik Jones, Isaiah Mobley, Dru Smith, Haywood Highsmith, Dante Exum, Josh Minot, Ish Wainwright, and a bunch more random players like that are just not in the game when they were a month ago. That’s the only complaint I have. They were

Missing spectator mode on MyLeague. I love NBA2K- great graphics and updates rosters. the only thing missing for me is spectator mode on MyLeague. I could use spectator mode on console & PC, but not on mobile for the Arcade Edition. This makes me really sad. I love spectator mode because I enjoy rebuilding teams from scratch and letting the CPU control my team in a CPU vs CPU mode on MyLeague. It feels like I’m watching a real NBA game when I do this, and it’s so fun to watch. Without this feature, I am forever depressed. Also- it’s really difficult to navigate the free agency panel. Really bad UX/UI on mobile because there’s no way for me to sort through all the free agents. I have to manually swipe down hundreds of names that aren’t connected organized by any specific position or stat. It’s a pain. Please fix these issues ASAP and I’ll immediately give this game 5 stars. Thank you!

Part Two. I said what I said and I stand by it. And then this past weekend happened. I played a WNBA season on a PS console. Everything that made 2k greater than Live is fully displayed in your focus on the wnba side. Once the speed bar is slid up and a playbook that fits a team is chosen, the basketball integrity sits alone atop. Im going to buy a PS, Im going to buy all 2k's from here out and will only ever play WNBA seasons. Remarkably made. And the difference in it all is, I can tell 2k developers researched every detail of women's ball. I'd beg that you go full FIBA with it, add it's tournament's, and also, bring the wnba MyPlayer feature to the Iphone. Great console concept that perfectly works. And whomever had the job of drafting Key Arena is spot on YET missed one key element. Where is Doppler?

Great game but need a few tweaks. First the game as most stated is perfect for a mobile device tho a few things I would address. One in career mode you should allow basic customization like being able to change who’s in your lineup with you on your team. As well as allocate the mins played by each player too. Also after the season you should be able to control what players stay and or be able to try and trade for other players during and after the season. Next right now there is a glitch where some players are invisible and you can’t see them. Only time you know they are there is when they have the ball and their name shows up under the invisible person. Otherwise a few tweaks in the response time when hitting shoot or pass etc and this game is it. Hoping you make the 2k24 arcade edition for the iPhone in sept too.

Change jerseys/change shoes ?. The game is great I love it. I was hoping you guys could update it to where when we are ready to play a game like association or a regular game that we should be able to change our jerseys and have all the New Jerseys as well. The game is just as real as a actual console, I think updating and adding all of the New Jerseys and like I said earlier having the ability to choose from whatever jersey you want would put this game over the top in my opinion. And can you updated it so when you edit a player you can change their shoes.

NBA2K23 Arcade Edition. This game is extremely impressive for the simple fact that it almost gives you the full NBA basketball simulation experience . For this game to be played on a phone or iPad I sometimes forget that I’m not playing a actual console, that’s how good this game is . I also like the improvements that were made compared to the 2K22 version such as this years version includes ( Commentary ) which is so important to have because it adds to the simulation experience . Also I like the new game modes as well as the ( All-Time Teams ) being included in this years game . You can also notice the improved overall gameplay in this years game compared to last year’s version . Moral of story , I really have no complaints because this game is very impressive for it to be (mobile) & played on phones as well as tablets . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Great game but some minor issues. I love the game and the quality and work they put into it. Play style is great. Only things that I think could be better in the game even though I know can’t be like 2K exactly from the console; but I think some things that could change are all the players not wearing the default 2K grey shoes instead have them where their own signature shoe or what they would normally wear in real life. Also having some stuff to customize your myplayer with tattoos more hairstyles. They should add the dunk contest, 3pt contest and stuff like the real all star weekend

Very good game but apps keep on telling me to redownload additional files(gigabytes) everytime. The 2k23 arcade edition is a very good game. I’ve been playing since the 21 version and I can clearly say this is the best of all, with the introduction of the detailed commentary which makes the game look more realistic. However I have a problem, whenever I open the app it keeps telling me to download some additional files before i can play the game, i can download the files and play it because I like the game, but then I can get that same problem the next day telling me to download that same files again. I wish you could work on that. Other than that I think it’s a nice game.

Bald rookies!!. Why are all the rookies bald?? It really ruins the immersion, please fix this. Other than this the game is great

Good game. Obviously a very good game as usual but when will the rookies and sophomore have real faces man

Glitch. Can you please fix the mycareer glitch when the game turns into a game where you are suddenly controlling the entire team instead of just your myplayer. This currently is making mycareer unplayable when this happens, and appears to be a recent glitch.

Long time. BIGGEST LOADING EVER IN GAME HISTORY

Nba2k23. It has my last name on the back of my jersey and that makes it 5stars

When is the update?. No updates been months

评论回来了！历史球员球队也来了！不错👍🏻. 以前没有评论确实有点难受，本作评论回来了，但是第二节奥尼尔他们还是没来。

Good game but it needs defense. In the finals my defense and my teams were playing good with defense but they scored i was over all 99 and I couldn’t shoot three’s fix it please 2k

Good Game. I didn’t expect much considering 2k’s track record on mobile, the graphics look great and gameplay actually feels clean and playable.

2k. Great game overall

Lost my progress. this was a great game but there was this one update where the download bar would not progress and i tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn’t work either idk if its jus me. please fix the game💀

Roster update would be welcomed but enjoyable NBA action. Wishing for a roster update-maybe something 2K24 Arcade Edition will bring if there’s one planned but otherwise very enjoyable NBA action on my iPhone 11 and my MacBook Air with the M1 chip.

CPU and shot meter are bad. Good “association” myleague or whatever and good play now, but bad cpu and shot meter.

Its ok. It is agreat game to play you just get bored of it quite fast

2K just as you know it. Incredible that they got the near-full 2K experience running on Apple TV and Apple devices. Add a controller and you have a console-level experience. A very impressive game and technical feat. Please keep developing this series

Many bugs. First of all, there is no difference except for the takeover, second there is bug when u creating the player, when you finish adjusting the status, if you go to the height and weight page and you adjust the height or weight, the status of your player will immediately change back to the pre-set one, what the hell?

I hate it. Graphics are good, smooth gameplay but MyCareer logic is horrible and online mode doesn’t work. My MyCareer won an 2 mvps and 2 rings. In his second mvp season he didn’t make the allstar game even though he was averaging 39 ppg, 9 assist, 1 reb and 1 steal. That same season we won the finals. My MyCareer didn’t even win Finals Mvp even though i dropped 76 points 9 assist, 1 steal and rebound in the first game. Then my contract expired and then I had to sign. I wanted to resign back to my team but all the teams were only offering me 600 vc per game and 10 minutes per game. A FORMER MVP AND CHAMPION. NOT TO MENTION A FULLY MAXED OUT 95 OVERALL PLAYER! This is absolutely ridiculous. I’m disappointed and they need to fix it. I’m deleting this game.

New Orleans pelicans. Way to hard to beat on rookie mode plus what’s the point of all time teams my career, 10 games and be a starter just to be traded what a dumb idea

Update. No roster updates🙁

Mid. Overall pretty as expected, although problems with free agency and my career are very dissatisfing and disappointing

great game but has some issues. 2k23 is probably one of the best game in the 2k series, but there are many frequent updates that take forever to download. it kept saying that i had to retry the download, which i did, and nothing happened. I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling but for some reason its making no progress. is it just my wifi connection? but its still a really great game

DO NOT PALY THIS GAME. WHEN I PLAYED THIS GAME SHAQS DING DONG WAS ALL OVER MY FACE DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

Incredible experience.. With the addition of commentary, the Arcade series is as close to the console version as possible. Gameplay has been refined and the graphics are amazing on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Plays well on my Razer Kishi controller to boot.

Invisible player. I really like the game itself. It is easy to play and the graphics is so nice but sometimes it’s lagging and the players are invisible specially in career mode when you start a new season. Hope you will fix the game. Thank you.

MyCareer Glitch Takeover. This game is very good, but in mycareer there’s this glitch where I play as all teammates instead of my player when I use takeover please fix it asap

Mvfjfjfjfjfjfjfkfk. For some reason don’t work for me?

It’s a great app. It’s a great app and I love the my career but there is some things that are not that great like in the my career it would be cool if you could play college and then go into the NBA and then the storage, the game deleted 2 of the best my careers I had and now I can’t get them back. But overall it’s a really great game.

Glitches spoiling game. randomly changers the player your controlling in my career mode. Also lost a few saved seasons for no reason but gameplay is good.

Game but my career glitch. I have been really enjoying 2K23 but all of a sudden I have began to experience a glitch in the MyCareer mode in which the game play changes to the team mode during the my career game and you start playing as all team members rather than just your specific player. Please fix this asap it is extremely annoying and causing significant gameplay functionality issues.

Wont get passed icloud button. Can't even play it.

Bug Report. Somehow the system automatically redistribute all of my skill points after I try to adjust my player’s height.

Nba 2k 23. This game is stupid please fix the game with the reply of the buzzer beater screen because it doesn’t show me thanks from Cody

Must add. Please add customisable keybinds to keyboard.

G.O.A.T 2k mobile game. Best 2k mobile game since 2k mobile

Please add MyTeam game mode. Game seems decent would be cool if MyTeam mode was added

The game. Trash game

Just a final touch. It is really good but if it could add more features and and countries to it and like an all time USA

No pay 2k. Could you please get the app for free so users or players do not have to pay for the game

Great but. I wish there was an online neighbourhood mode where you can go to stores to buy things .

Excellence. Excellent graphics and game play

Great game but keeps crashing. Whenever I try to play a game of mycareer it keeps crashing after a few seconds same thing happens when I just play in practise mode

It’s really good game but but you could use some updates. I think it’s an amazing app lots of great T stuff but in 2k24 you did at all times decades like old times 2000s and please be able to trade all time players to other all-time teams and normal teams and make the Aliou opp like they do on the real 2K please

Data loss. It seems like the modes cannot coexist. I lost my MC when I started a myassociation which is insane as it did not notify me that playing myassociation will delete my MC files. Terrible experience for this as it took me a while and costed me some VCs to build my MC and it is gone without any warning.

Please fix the bug. Some of the players are transparent and are not visible during the game

Good game. Good game but does not support Nintendo pro controllers very inconvenient. But other than that it is a great game please make it compatible for Nintendo controllers.

Connecting a xbox controller. Connected xbox controller to mac but it wouldnt work on the game

Great game but….. Career mode is a mess and makes no sense followed by invisible players which can be seen during a new season or in playoff specifically. Online matches is always lagging and always has someway to disband the match. This game needs some desperate fixing and polishing! Also when you win a game in the playoffs you have only to options to proceed either “play next game” or “sim next round”. Play next game is a absolute joke as for it makes you repeat the same game and doesn’t take you to the next, whilst sim to next round is pointless because you can destroy your opposing team and you are left with the two option “play next game” or “sim next round” which both quiet frankly are useless as for sim next game is terrible because it always foresees you losing although you never do!

Update error. Every time I open the game there is an update fix the game

Good but not great. Overall it is a great game but one negative is it takes way to long to get into the game and it is always searching for a update, really annoying

What a game!. Great game, wish they were some features that we find on the regular console. But I’m satisfied.

Great game but. It’s a really good game but could you guys please add the dunk meter, so I can force my player to try dunks(Posterizers). I feel like without that option the player doesn’t attempt alot of contact dunks and just go to a layup animation

Glitch fest. Not bad but too many glitches.

Excellent. If you guys just put all time all star teams that will be dream come true. Otherwise best game you can get in nba 2k.

Horrible music horrible controls. This game has horrible soundtrack horrible controls for a controller as well. No career mode. Like what the F ? I truly hope 2k24 has career mode but I truly doubt it knowing how 2k is but overall not worth the money

My player never saves. The game itself is great and fun but my myplayer never saves and I have tried everything. I’ve had to continue to restart and recreate my player multiple times and it is a pain as continue to waste vc on upgrades just to find that in a couple of hours my player is gone. Pls help.

Put Mc player into blacktop. I want to play mc player in black top, I wanna play my own character

Not playable on Apple TV. My son has wanted to play this since it came out in fall 2023. At first, a mandatory “iCloud save settings” screen had an unclickable button during game set up. 100% unplayable. Now, that bug is fixed, but on the “play now” screen there’s a “play” button in the bottom right, which is not responsive to controller button press (menu button). If you press the menu button numerous (100+) times, it eventually responds, but when the game loads, the screen is entirely black, except for player names running around the screen. Some kind of bizarre dark/arena power failure mode? 😜 Still 100% unplayable.

Buuuuuugs!. It cannot be opened since the latest updates. The scene just stay in the start interface. I hate this bug!

How do we save game progress?. This is a fantastic game! I absolutely love the fact that you brought back announcer commentary. It makes the game feel alive and fun again. Bravo. The only negative I have is, how do we save games in progress in Association mode? I like to play full games with 12 minute quarters, but I can’t find any way to save games in progress. So if I need to stop midway through a game it makes me restart to the beginning next time. It’s very frustrating! Please help.

Cant even play the game. Every time I try to open the game it searches and try’s to download the update but never gets past 0%

NBA. Best game ever

Can’t do anything. There is a bug where after getting the ball you can’t do anything. Can’t shoot, pass, nothing. it’s been increasingly occurring recently. It ruins the game

app is garbage. why on god’s green earth do I have to install the game data every time i open it? its ridiculous.

Irritating loading screen. Every time I open the app to okay the game it always searches for an updates and after that it also downloads the commentary package all over again even though I already downloading it and most of all, IT TAKES TIME for this process to get done by the time you’ve downloaded all that, you’d already not want to play the game

annoying. your game is so bad 😂, when ever you are in a quick game or any game that you are not playing against somebody else the other team will score and never misses and even if you have played for a long time you will still miss. your game sucks brick and you should cancel 2k23 arcade version. Normal 2k is way way better 😂. The npc always makes the shot its so annoying. and big suprise the game is trash🤭.

This game is so bad.. This game is so bad. The graphics are insanely good, good shot meter, not rigged, easily the BEST GAME EVER

Glitch. Max christie and Gabe york are invisible

Online is horrible. the game is actually amazing for mobile. the gameplay is exactly like console and my association is missing a lot of features but is still fun. however the online aspect makes me want to snap my phone in half. matchmaking is so slow (i guess barely anyone actually pays for arcade) and when you do get in a game it’s always a chinese player with god awful connection. i’ve had to play many games literally in slow motion. the lag becomes so bad that the game is played at .25x speed. the connection is usually so bad you can’t shoot and only can take layups. other than the online experience the game is pretty much just like 2k. small features are missing but nothing major.

To long to load. When will it finally load

mid. this game crashes when u about to win and when u load it back it stays on one time when the game was saved so u cant even make progress outside of that it aint that bad but it makes you miss all your shots on purpose at the end of the game so its pretty annoying like i was up 3-0 in the finals winning by 20 in game 4 with 40 seconds left, and the game crashed and deleted my whole career

please add 2023 draft class. Please add wemby and scoot and the rest of the draft class

Cool game. Good

Nba2k23 commentary. The game is good but, it would be a lot better if the commentary was working.

2K24???. is there gonna be a 2K24 mobile or not?

Why are their no historical teams and why do blocks count as misses. Why are their no historical teams in this game? You are basketball super fans like us the players that play your games and by not including historical teams makes you not fans of basketball. You are ripping the chance to put the 1996 bulls and 2017 warriors against each other a famous basketball what if match. And in this game when you take a shot and an npc blocks your shot why does that count as a miss when in actual basketball it doesn’t count as miss because the shot would have gone in? Great game whole way round. Please respond back asap.

Bball. 23like jordann give me them hunnids

Need the Legends to be in the Associations.. This is sooo good! You can do whatever you want to your players. But i have a recommendation. Can you put Legends on the Association? Bring them back from their rookie season in the draftings. That might be interesting and fun.

Searching for update. Every time I open the game it’s always searching for update at the time it was downloaded it was not acting like that for three weeks but now it searches for update everyday I don’t even know if it’s normal again and it takes time to download the update and when I download the commentary package it disappears when it searches for update and downloads the update

My bad my bad. Forget about my first comment, my phone had some trouble with the network. Overall this is a really good game!!!!!

Nba2k23 mobile. I like the game it’s so far fun I just got it you like 2k or basketball I would definitely recommend

Invisible players - Game Unplayable. Please fix MyCareer. Players become invisible after fouls and is unplayable since the new update.

Uniform update. Update the team uniforms. Other than that great game.

Add wembanyama. please add wembanyama

BEST GAME EVER. This game is so fun I would definitely recommend it for everyone

Great cool. Cool

This games horrible. This game sucks the a.i are so annoying you have no stamina and it’s not fun it’s so pathetic

Controls and sliders. Needs more customization of the controls. We need cpu vs user sliders for offline gameplay like on console. Mainly Dunk in traffic frequency, Dunk and traffic success, Alley oop success, close shot success etc for single player quick game and association gameplay and simulation. Add badge editing for players when editing rosters.

MyAssociation mode is utter garbage. 2k doesn’t care about fixing this game at all. Bugs remain unfixed through multiple versions of the game and multiple updates. The myAssociation mode is actually much worse than older versions like 2k20. How is that possible? Do 2k employees sit around and brainstorm ways to make the game worse? It kind of seems like they do.

So worth it. Fun

2k23. This is one of the Greatest games ever created on a mobile device. I’d like to thank everyone involved in making this game possible because it’s the only game I play

Sadly there is no women.. No women.. I love the game but pls make a woman update, although I enjoy playing a lot don’t get me wrong, if you can please create a woman option or version, it’s okay if you don’t. I love this game either way. I highly recommend to all genders.

2k24. I just wanna ask for 2k24 can i add more options for association mode like editing age and no salary cap other than that best game on mobile.

10/10 game. Very good game but i wish there was a crowd chant feature

Sad. About as much fun watching paint dry

Bug. There is always a bug on Kevin Durant‘s height since 2k22

bug. theres a new glitch where one of the players on the other team becomes invisible. please fix

INVISIBLE PLAYERS - PLEASE FIX!!!. Love this game. Been playing regularly - a lot. Having issues with invisible players on opposing teams ever since the last update. Please fix!!!!!! OR tell me how to revert back to a previous version. No idea how to fix it or update game.

Fix controller system and ai but great game. I use a backbone.. and the game is great love the addition of commentary.. the only thing i hate is when i call for a screen the run towards me then run back to the to the screen i have to keep pressein set screen until he sets it up.. the shooting is horrible i have so msny delays in my shots slightly late slightly early never goes in wide open or not..uniform change option maybe?

Amazing Game. The game is great I just started playing and it feels great, they’re are a few bugs in the game though but they may already be in the process of being fixed. One for example is that Kevin Durant is 6’2” for some reason in the game so you manually have to change his height back to 6’10”. Overall the game is pretty decent just a few minor problems but nothing bad. Keep up the good work 2K 👍🏾

Where is my player?. I love the game very realistic, but has a lot of work to do with glitches. Sometimes when you’re playing you lose sight of the player altogether and all you see is the basketball bouncing it’s hard to guard player when he’s invisible in the balls only thing you see.. also, I have noticed that there are camera issues when you start to play the camera will freeze and then you’re stuck in one area or it’ll start to move around the arena in the game still going on in other words it’s out of sync with the ball. All in all it’s a really awesome game. I hope you can get this fixed.

Association mode. I’ve given it a few tired with different teams and different modes but I still CANNOT retain free agents. Their contact options never get kicked up or they’ll be undecided and by the time free agency starts, all the good players are gone and it leaves you with 71 OVR players to replace your all star that you never even got a chance to re sign. Also, you should be able to go in and out of the free agency option without complete ending free agency, sometimes you need to look at your roster a couple times in between signings

FIX CAMERA BUG. As others have noted, there is a camera bug that needs to be fixed to make this game playable. Overall the game is great, however there is a bug where late in games or especially in Overtime, the camera angle will change and you CANNOT see what is happening on the floor. The camera just stays fixed on one particular spot, usually somewhere on the sideline. Trying to change the camera angle does not work, you can only foul or call timeout and hope that it changes back. I can't believe this has not been fixed yet, looks like devs don't play the game or read reviews

Love the game but. I love the game but the game crashes a lot but it’s getting irritating cuz this id is so addictive I love 2k My Career and u guys made it so convenient for us who don’t have a console thank you only thing I can say I problems wit is the crashes specially during playoffs because next game we come back and lose and it’s frustrating because we were winning til it crashes now when I come back to restart dat game I’m losing🤔

Lazy Creators , Same Game Every Year.. Gets boring when all you have is to choose from are 3 modes and no one plays “play now”. My player is just playing game after game until you get bored . Nothing even cool about it. Same shoes in every 2k and they’re outdated . Can’t customize anything , can’t even get cool endorsements to see or can’t even pick your own jerseys . No draft for my player , when you draft people In franchise mode it’s boring, can’t even sign free agents. Have you to trade for them . All these other games can be detailed with their games while 2k is lazy for mobile . Easily could add my eras, customize things or make my player more fun. No one even asked for the mode where you’re a player lol.

I want a refund.. This game is legit but we need to stress the fact that the computer makes one player on their team invisible and just shows a ball being passed around by nobody. Usually scores more than 10 points and hits almost any shot. I have footage of it recorded on my phone mid game. This is insane and it happens often especially if you’re winning or the very beginning of a game against a contender.

Cool game. There’s a glitch now I guess in career mode during random points in every game a glitch occurs and when you pass the ball you also become that teammate and it goes on till the end of the quarter and switches you back at random times sometime I have to finish the whole game as if I’m playing quick play witch is annoying while trying to focus on other aspects of the badge categories.

Problem with character modeling and Jonathan Kuminga’s character modeling has not been updated. After I updated the game, the character modeling suddenly disappeared when I used Klay Thompson defended Moore. There's only one basketball left moving. I hope the official can pay attention to this issue. In addition, After I update the game,Jonathan Kuminga’s Model figure in the original archive has not been updated. I hope the official can pay attention to this issue. Thanks.

Could be amazing. Easy glitches with passing and defending that should be fixed. The biggest issue for me is why is there no way to skip the end of game credits on my player mode, easy thing to do please fix at some point. Even if I'm getting player of the game everytime its annoying to not be able to skip the end credits. Please fix the problems with the last 2k before releasing a new year version that is the same game just with updated players, makes arcade much less worth it when i see games with no real ambition of creating a better version each time.

Super buggy. Let me start with the positive, the new animations and feel of the game is much improved. The negative - the game is way too easy and takeover is stupid. You can activate it and launch half court shots and its in, every time. The game is also super buggy, when I play games now anytime I attempt a shot it just pump fakes or releases before I release, sometimes the movement controls don’t register either. At times I hold down the shot button and absolutely nothing happens. I’m not missing the controls, it’s messing up on registering touch and then reacting to those touches. Now for some reason, after the first quarter all shot feedback disappears, the game clock, shot clock and score disappear and they don’t come back. Additionally outside of some new animations, a coat of paint to the presentation, the takeover meter, and the new challenge mode. Everything in this game is EXACTLY the same as 2k22. Dunks you can buy, shoes, badges, attributes, player templates, association mode, calendars… everything, exactly the same. Been buying 2k mobile since 2k19 but I’m probably abandoning this product.

Areas for improvement. I feel that compared with the previous two generations, there are still many things that need to be improved. For example, 1. The career model will have card bugs from time to time, and sometimes the dominant rule and the score calculation board will disappear. 2. In the career model, in the fast break, in the first two generations, it can be slam dunk, but in the 2K23, it is difficult to slam dunk as long as someone touches it, which seriously affects the experience. This is very important to improve

Paying every month. This is a great game! how ever I can speak for me and others. The most annoying part is paying $5 dollars every month to play this game. It’s a great game just you paying more every month then for the actual game. I love how realistic this game is for a mobile game. Can you guys go back to one time pay And taking it off this arcade games? At least make it $15 or $20 one time pay for the full mobile game. Y’all use to have it at $5 pay up front now $5 every month. that’s crazy!

Really good, but one nasty bug.. I love these games. I don’t really have anything to criticize apart from a pretty bad bug I ran into in myCareer mode. Steps to recreate the bug: 1. Create a new player in myCareer and get to the screen where you customize their skill numbers (layup, interior defense, etc). Put in any custom values you want. 2. Get to the next screen (where you adjust the player’s physical attributes), and change either the height, the weight, or the wingspan. You should notice that when you adjust any of these 3 values, the traits you set in the last step will RESET to some other presets (what you would get if you tapped “auto” on the previous screen). *I think this is a pretty big issue because it makes it impossible to adjust physical traits for a player without resorting to the default skill attributes.

Good game but you should add some things. I think you should add my team to the game i also think you could be able to buy vc because if you add my team it would be fun to be the best with your favorite card and if you let people buy vc you could make a lot of money i and a lot of people would like these to be added to the game it would make the game funnier so please add this in the next update

My Career NEEDS FIXING!!!. Game somewhat resembles the real 2k but my lord is it beyond buggy!!! I’m paying 5 dollars a month to play a game that half heartedly works!! The game can even seem to grasp proper saved data!! I’ve lost soo far 2 my Career characters!! Only reason this going to get a 2 star instead of 1 is because I personally jus enjoy 2k but man does this game make me feel otherwise!!! Please fix the save game bug nd loading in game!! Also let us at least put our own music in the background if you’re going to have a million bugs that I can’t even fathom of listing please make 2k great again!!

Update!!!!!. 2k plz fix the controls they are really slow and sometimes unresponsive also add controller support that’s a big deal you guys had months to add that it’s a okay game the defense in this game is nonexistent it’s literally a layup line in this game you can’t really guard jumps shooters they green everything it’s still not a great game …… Also add coach play art plz how am I supposed to get my teammates going when I can’t see what’s being called. The spacing in this game is out dated 2k20 mobile and before allowed you to see what the coach called run plays etc why is that not in the game??? Plz add

Why STILL no save halfway into a game??. This game is easily the best game on the app store but for some crazy reason there is STILL no way to save a game halfway into it and return later. This makes NO sense at all and is easily the number 1 thing thats needs to be fixed. I was hoping, after last years had no save option, that this would FINALLY be fixed .. but .. nope. Can you PLEASE add a "save and quit" option to games so when i play 12min quarters i can finally save the game and come back to it. This would make the game perfect and worth 5 stars. Other than this the game is the best. Please add a SAVE option!!

Won’t Save Properly. I’m doing MyCareer trying to grind badges with 12 minute quarters. After at least 45 minutes of playing a single game and compiling tons of stats for my player, the game crashes as I head back to the menu. When I load it back up, the game that I just played never happened. All my stats and badge points are just gone and vanished into thin air. Sometimes the game never crashes, but my most recent game is still erased the next time I open the game. This is super demoralizing to put in so much work on my player just to keep having my progress wiped away. This is extremely disappointing from such a fun game.

Best GAME EVER🥰😍. 2k you guys did everything good this year with 2k mobile and 2K23,the game is amazing 🤩 the graphics are outstanding and the controls are amazing but,it will be really cool if we could have mini games like dunks contest and three point shots contest,and Please 🙏🏾 remove those ugly 2k generic shoes please. And I saw one bad problem,the reflection of the player on the court is not good at all,they all wears white clothes when you look at it closely hopefully it will be fixed. And with the new historic great players,it will be REALLY dope if m j wears his Jordan 4 or 11 in the blacktop mode as well as the other players with different shoes . For the my career mode,you guys should definitely at an option to have tattoos on my player, as well as a history mode. That’s all the suggestions I have,but I still will give it a 5 stars ✨ because the game is amazing 🥲

Best game ever. I just got this game today and played for an hour and this already is my favorite game. It has good graphics good gameplay good quality. The reason this is my favorite game is because it has NO ADDS I didn’t even get a SINGLE ADD. You can play with your friends if your looking for a basketball game I really really recommend playing this game today the. You can play for hours at anytime and have lots of fun this is why I recommend NBA 2k 2023

Got me hooked to basketball. I started watching basketball since I came to the US on Exchange in 2020 and attended the basketball games. I hadn't kept up with it much until I came upon this game. The graphics are excellent and it simulates the intensity of the game fairly well. As one of the users has pointed out in the review, there is a bug with the camera once the game goes into overtime, but I think that it is not such a big issue as to warrant a lower rating. I feel that I'll keep my subscription to Apple Arcade just for this game 😂

Fun game but glitchy. This game is fun and I play it every day, though there are some frustrating things. Many times I’ll be driving to a lay up, press and hold the shoot button and he stops and stands, it ruins the play and it’ll turn into a blocked shot/turn over or 3 second violation. Another issue is with covering your guy. I could have my guy covered, then a team mate steps up, their guy passes through and last second it changes my cover to the different guy who now openly scores and the game lowers my score for a defensive breakdown.

Impressed. I normally don’t leave reviews but I just downloaded this basketball game started playing and I must say compared to the other basketball games out there for mobile this game is #1 best basketball game out today you can tell that these developers put their heart sweat and tears into this game. Very nice I’m hooked. I will recommend this game to my friends and family. thanks for taking the time and creating a nice game.

Good overall, needs updates to keep people playing. This game is great considering its a phone app. Some small tweaks would really help the overall feel for the game. First, the crowds are half full on every playoff game I play in my league, even the NBA finals. This doesn’t make any sense and takes away from the atmosphere of the game. Filling up the stands would make a huge difference. Another thing is the free agent list in the off-season. It is in alphabetically order and needs to be arranged by overall like in the 2K for consoles. You have to scroll for 5 minutes to find a player worth signing and you don’t even know what valuable free agents there are. I think these two changes should be simple and would really help the overall quality of the game. This game is one of the only appeals of Apple Arcade so I hope the developers continue to improve it.

Your screwed if you don’t use controller. This game looks good for Mobile, but holy smokes this game has terrible mechanics, terrible AI read, terrible defense, you will go out of bounds or lose the ball, you feel stiff and feel like you can move or dribble. One pick and roll and your screwed, not to mention but i’m a PG so i will always inbound the ball, the amount of times this game will not read my joystick is astounding. I have a brand new iphone which is why i have Apple Arcade for a month. This game should be free for everyone with how trashy the mechanics are. But yet again it’s another 2k game.

Great game just wish y’all had 2k store. I gave it 5 stars But I’m a little upset that you don’t allow us to buy VC. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great game some of the best graphics for mobile games by far. But by not allowing people to buy VC makes leveling up that much harder. I downloaded it because of me never having the time to play my console because of my work hours. Was wondering if that’s something we could be looking forward too, because it would be nice if y’all gave us the option to buy it

The best iPhone game I have ever played bar none. I have never played a game that makes me forget that I’m playing on an iPhone other than this and maybe COD mobile and even with that I can tell. This game is unbelievable impressive beautiful and frankly, I would play many more phone games and pay for many more phone games and pay more for many more phone games if they played like this keep doing what you’re doing whoever developed this!!! And thank you

Suggestions. Game is very nice, put can you please work on player scans (hair face etc.) some players seem like no effort was put into them and their current appearance (most face scans are old) also more hairs for mycareer and maybe clothing for park. great game jus more work and effort 👍, also tattoos would b nice. with lots more accessories (headbands,wristbands,shorts length option compression shorts etc.) and more hair options. with created player that can be used in quickplay,blacktop,and association.

Literally the same game as 22. Why on earth would you release an identical game and claim that it is something different? This is trash. We shouldn’t have to accept this kind of lazy development. Literally, you didn’t even add a new kind of shoe from last year?!?!? How pathetic is that. The gameplay is still terrible on mobile. If you do “My Career”, get ready to be worthless for at least a season, maybe more. As a 39 year old man I’m certain that I would miss as many layups and 3 ft jumpers as my created SHOOTING GUARD. This is lazy. This is uninspired. This is a game that is insulting to the people who pay money for it. You should be ashamed that you charge money for this. I can’t wait for next years edition when you still don’t let me have an alternate jersey option or the ability to have a freaking team wristband (do players ONLY wear sleeves?) or the ability to add tattoos… Honestly, I wish I could curse you out. This is so pointless. Shame on Apple Arcade for charging us for this trash.

It’s a good game but my career is hard. It’s a good game but my career is hard first of all when I try to green a shot it doesn’t turn green instead it’s low on the bar and it’s riggged cause every time when I try to layup on someone shorter than my player I miss it and also can you guys allow us to switch shooting hands please thank you. Please fix it please. Oh and back to the jumpshot can you make it super easy to shoot like Steph curry on 2k please thank you.

Some things to fix. Overall this is a really good game but there some things to fix. For example I have a small forward and a power forward that both have a 85 driving dunk but I’m still prevented from buying the animations that come with the 85 driving dunk. Also in game there are times where if your teammate is about to let someone score they switch defense and you the player end up getting penalized for it. But other than that every thing is perfect. And I do suggest downloading the game.

Almost perfect. Amazing game closest thing you’ll get to a basketball simulation on the App Store. But there’s just weird things in the game that aren’t explained, things like fantasy draft only letting you draft 1st overall, malakai burnham (who?) on the spurs having 13 HOF badges at 19, no way of bounce passing except for the weird like flashy pass you can do from catching the ball and pressing the call for screen button instantly??? Overall super good game but I wish these problems would be looked at and I hope that when the ratings are updated they get put into my current mycareer.

User. First of why did y’all take of the posterizer badge it gives me the ability to dunk on people cause I’m tired of going for a lay and getting blocked and you guys should keep takeover in 2k24 bc that’s the best thing that happened to this game and keep commentators I love hearing them but overall the game is good Also add plays like isolation and quick 3’s to make the game better and I hate the fact on my big man build I get stripped a lot add a badge for that other than that the game is really good.

Solid, but same issues as last year!. Really good game for a mobile game. But there is just 1 thing that needs fixed! In the Association, you can’t sort free agents. It would be nice if the overalls were by number and not letters. But even then please enable us to sort from bets to worst and by position. Right now you just have to swipe for days. A player of mine went to free agency and I couldn’t even find him! This issue fixed would easily make the game 5 stars for me! But my favorite game mode is the association so it is irritating for me.

Buggy in the worst ways. This is a good game but unfortunately it’s so buggy I can’t recommend it to anybody. Firstly if I don’t play it for more than 12 hours than it deletes all updates and the commentary so I basically have to wait for that everytime I play Secondly, the voices and shots lag from eachother constantly, like I’ll dunk them a full 5 seconds later he’ll make a dunk yell. Thirdly and the most important, if I even dare move my MyPlayer’s height, weight, or wingspan all my attributes are removed and it put the automated attributes onto it instead. I’ve tested all of these issues multiple times, and seen no improvement.

Bring back logo animations!. I'm having a good time out there! But, I really want WNBA teams please? (same goes for NCAA DI men's and women's college basketball teams) Also, you forgot about the logo animations! Do the logo animations for all 30 NBA teams (including Seattle Supersonics and Las Vegas expansion team), WNBA, and NCAA DI men's and women's college basketball (don't forget about the pep bands for men's and women's college basketball and finally mascots of Sonics, Las Vegas expansion team, WNBA and NCAA DI men's and women's college basketball) Sincerely, Gustavo Aliberti Machado Fernandes Weston, FL

WAY too easy to score for CPU in the paint. Although this is a much better improvement from last year, this still has a big issue with CPU performance where they score EVERYTHING between midrange and the paint. It’s to the point where now if someone gets blown by, I just assume it’s an automatic 2 points. Opponents frequently shoot above 50% from the floor as a team which is not at all. This basically makes defensive stats such as perimeter defense and lateral defense basically useless in Mycareer. This is a HUGE issue because even if it is Arcade, there still should be some skill to timing your shots, even for CPU.

Gameplay is great. Haven’t tried the other game modes yet but there is a dramatic improvement in the handle, feel, and outcomes of the gameplay this year. Last year’s version was maddening when it came to this and at least for me, prevented the title from being anything more than a time waster when I had less thann five minutes free to play. I’m sure there are still other things lacking but I’m glad to see what was a game breaker fixed this time around. Thumbs up.

Suggestions. Honestly, this game is great I love it but there are a few suggestions I have to make it a touch betters… first more accessories would be nice. I want to be able to wear wrist bands or sweatbands and stuff like that. We have a very limited choice right now… second I’d like to have a way to get names announced. Like I’m Playing but I’m about never spoken about because I don’t have a name audio. It makes it feel like just a game and not an experience… lastly the characters in my career stand out and look so fake compared to everyone else on the court. The beard are down right bad and the faces stick out like sore thumbs

Great game but…. This, overall, is a great game and has amazing graphics and gameplay. One thing that needs to be fixed is that when I play MYPlayer, it’s fine, but when I exited out of the game yesterday and got back on, it went to a black screen, but I could press the buttons. I have no idea what happened but it didn’t allow me to upload iCloud data. You guys really need to fix it. P.S I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I’m still waiting for it to get done. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Update: I am still waiting for it to load and it’s been 30 minutes. HAS NOT MOVED A SINGLE INCH! 😠

PLEASE ADD CLOTHES CUSTOMIZATION. I’ve been playing this game since release and absolutely love it. But I’ve also played console 2K23 and know that there are definitely some features that can be on here. But the main one that I want is clothes customization. It just feels better to be able to change the whole outfit, not just arms, legs, and shoes. And if you guys do add it, I can finally make an outfit that matches this shoes you gave us at release. Please consider

More To The 2k Game on 2k24. It’s a great game I play it all the time , after work , laying down , using the toilet(TMI) but I think there things you should add , like all the team jerseys even if the system choose the team jerseys for us , more shoes, and clothes and for a cheaper price and if you could add a story line to the compared mode and be able to have interviews with the front office about players and the Morale

There is a bug. I love the game but there’s a glitch where if I get certain players dunk packages on mycareer it will only do one dunk and no other dunk even with my dunk packages full (for instance) I’ll buy Westbrook dunk package and apply it and my player will only do a reverse dunk and nothing else a couple other players are like that too the only way to get it to stop is if I unequip the package but then I don’t get the dunks and waste the vc if you could fix this please it’d be a better experience thank you P.s. I would love to see myteam make its way on the game with new player cards to upgrade the team besides those the game is a 5 star

Slow grind, cant call timeouts or foul in mycareer.. Not bad for a 2k on the go scheme its pretty close, mycareers lame in the fact i cant call timeout after a rebound in the 4th quarter with two timeouts left, 5 seconds left and down one point my rebounders shooting from full court to try and win because i cant call a timeout and the coach can call a timeout any other point in the game except the times that matter. Cant intentionally foul either it makes close games an inevitable loss and who wants to play a game where you lose all the close games? Might wanna fix that or this game will be short lived for most.

NBA2K23. This is a great game and I love it it’s so realistic and great but I would love if we could have a storyline in the my career mode I personally think that it would make the game mor fun and exciting and if we could play in the past with our my career players or on black top but that is my personal opinion and I hope you enjoy thanks for giving me this opportunity to play this great game thank you.

Currently Downloading. Look…this is by far the best basketball game I’ve ever played on my phone. I’ve been rocking with NBA2k mobile since nba2k18. The graphics are so good - I’ve had both friends and strangers who see me playing and praise how real and authentic it is. The MyPlayer addition is always a winner. The option of trade, learning to improve skills and play to get stronger is what makes this so good. I haven’t even played nba2k23 and I already know I’m about to love it.

AppleTV version downloads every time. The game is fine. Plays well and I really like the controller compatibility. The problem is that every time I want to play on the AppleTV so I can play on a big screen it has to download something for about 10 mins, then the audio download takes an additional 5 mins. Why doesn't the download persist between uses. I don't have that problem with other games on the AppleTV and even made sure I had enough space. Really makes it a chore to play.

Camera Bug. I love playing this game but there is an anoying camera bug, I have. only had it happen to me late in games especially in OT where the camera agnle changes during an inbound and it stays in the same zoomed place where the inbound came from and you cannot see the actual play trying to change the camera agale does nothing you need to burn a time out or if you are lucky enough to have the ball get foulded or go out of bounds.
