Given that 2K is currently working on NBA 2K23 in their research and development lab, there is still time to have an impact on the gameplay. Consequently, here are our gameplay ideas and suggestions for how to elevate the gameplay experience in NBA 2K23 to a new level. Numerous aspects of this apply to MyCAREER, City / Park, The Rec, and Pro-Am, with a focus on creating a more realistic and balanced basketball gameplay experience in the process.

1. Virtual Reality (VR), Metaverse, and Next-Generation Technologies (NFTs)
We may be a long way off from seeing a full-fledged NBA 2K simulation videogame in virtual reality and the Metaverse, but it is possible that something like this is on the horizon that would be a game-changing innovation. The use of virtual reality would elevate the action on the court to a new level of immersion. A full-body workout could be achieved by physically simulating shooting, dribbling, running, and other actions on the court. Alternatively, a hybrid of these activities could be developed to ensure that users do not become fatigued. This would be the closest thing to playing basketball in real life that someone could get without actually being on a real court themselves.

Additionally, an ecosystem could be built around NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), which are derived from players exchanging their tokens for digital assets in the game. These tokens could then be sold and traded on a Metaverse marketplace that would benefit all participants.

2. First-person point of view camera angle
Historically, first-person shooters (FPS) have used a first-person camera angle since the dawn of time, and a classic 2K game – NFL 2K5 – was the first sports game to incorporate First Person Mode / camera angle into the gameplay experience. It is possible that the addition of this camera angle to the NBA 2K series, which would require numerous adjustments to the game's stabilization and field of vision, would provide a new perspective on the action on the court.

3. Stress-test the game to identify potential exploits.
Every year, it appears that new game exploits are discovered by players after the game has been released. These exploits can be found in the overall gameplay as well as glitchy OP MyPLAYER builds and moves that affect the overall balance of the game. NBA 2K23 MyTEAM Coins's safe to say that a game can never be stress tested enough prior to its release date if these considerations are taken into consideration. Hire more quality assurance (QA) game testers who will be tasked with the specific task of attempting to find exploits in gameplay and the MyPLAYER Builder, as well as releasing an early beta build of the game to the 2K Community, are all concrete steps toward making the game better right out of the gate.

4. Widen the Skill Gap (especially in Pro-Am) as much as possible.
More emphasis should be placed on the game having a genuine skill gap, particularly in Esports modes such as 5v5 Pro-Am or Head-to-Head, where wagering for real money is involved, and less emphasis should be placed on the game being 'dumbed down' to appease casual players. Here are some suggestions for how to make NBA 2K23 MT Coins better:

Remove the "Training Wheel" from the list of Type Features.
Everything should be based on skill in a "Comp" Pro-Am, and it should be played in a "hardcore" mode:
During multiplayer, the majority of CPU buttons and actions should be disabled so that everything is "organic" and user-controlled – for example, no CPU-controlled play calls, doubling teaming, screens, and so on. Even when there aren't any CPU teammates present, these CPU actions continue to artificially disrupt the gameplay. The only button that should be kept is the one that indicates an intentional foul.

Remove the arrow pointing to the 'Who to Guard' option. It is also possible that the "Who to Guard" arrow in the Controller Settings will be removed in order to promote more organic skill in Pro-Am and a greater skill gap in the competitive mode. The fact that players aren't aware of who to guard in the most competitive 5v5 multiplayer mode should be considered their own liability when compared to players who are aware of where they should be and how to rotate. NBA 2K23 MyTEAM Coins can also have a positive impact by reducing the amount of visual distraction on the court and encouraging the use of more team defense strategies.

'Pass Target Openness' should be removed. Overusing the 'Pass Target Openness' feature found in the Controller Settings, which is a little known secret in the Pro-Am community, has been shown to be extremely effective. This is essentially a training wheels-type feature, which automates passing decision-making by automatically passing to the player who is the most open on the field. Why would a player require authentic court vision if the game can provide NBA 2K23 MT Coins for them automatically? It has been far too long since this feature was removed from the more competitive Pro-Am mode.

IQ should be rewarded over archetypes and badges.
The importance of a good MyPLAYER build, dribble moves, and badges cannot be overstated, but 2K must return to its roots of simply playing basketball. Too often, these components take precedence over BBALL IQ, and the game becomes a competition to see who can create the most OP builds or spam the most dribbles, rather than a competition to see who can devise the best basketball strategy. Rather than putting too much emphasis on who has the cheesiest setup, NBA 2K should start rewarding high-IQ basketball gameplay more frequently.
