Basketball fans clamor for a new release of NBA 2K each year. Anticipation builds up throughout the season as fans look forward to new ratings of their favorite NBA players and managing their favorite basketball teams. While the release of the franchise's latest installment, NBA 2K23, has been largely well-received by fans and critics, one major issue seems to rear its head with each new edition. There are seemingly endless changes to the shooting mechanics each year, and NBA 2K would do well to stick with one option going forward.
