NBA 2K23 Launching on Apple Arcade Tomorrow as 2022-23 Season Begins

Got 2k23 the other day, haven’t played too much due to a work assignment but it’s much better than 2k22 imo. MyCareer is way more cringey though.

So pretty excited about this!

But yo EA, if you bring out NBA Live 24 I’m buying it ASAP!

Good lord, why? Did you play the last few Lives? They were truly terrible.

Don't bother. The games on Apple Arcade are available on much better platforms, most notably Nintendo Switch and Steam. Just get them there. Or hell, just get an Xbox or a PC and subscribe to Xbox Game Pass

Except the Apple Arcade version is missing MyCareer and a lot of the local multiplayer features 2K fans came to expect which is why the definitive place to play 2K is on Xbox or Playstation, especially since the Xbox version can be played on phones via Xbox Cloud at higher fidelity and framerate.

I’ve been on xCloud since beta…it is Janktown USA, with bottom barrel latency and more dropped frames than a bowling alley.

Apple Arcade requires many more games for it to be successful.

Because you're using it on iOS and not on an Android. This is why Microsoft wanted a native app for XCloud.

How arrogant can one person be? I’ve used xCloud on a gaming rig running Windows, a Surface Duo, a Galaxy S22 Ultra and an iPad Pro - just to name a few. The experience is subpar across the board.

Nice try on the omniscience though. Let me save you some time - you’ll never obtain it.

Can you refresh us... what's your definition of "successful"?

For me, I'd resub to AA given the current lineup, but the price would have to be even lower. I'm thinking no more than $35 per year (best you can do is via Costco.com for $45)
