Your first match is 2k23 mt your finals game of Las Vegas Summer League and how well you perform in that game goes a way in determining your initial position in your regular season.Kendrick Nunn took part during the Summer League alongside me, this isn't true since Nunn never plays in the Lakers and not for any other reason. I was victorious and was given a place in the rotation going forward.

But, this is where things get a bit shaky. There's a limitation of 6 players being allowed to exit this game, which means that you could score up to 70 points in the game but not be considered a starter. 

It also serves as the basis for the rivalry between you and "Shep," a player located one spot lower than that you are in the draft.There an underlying storyline to career mode drives way too much of what you can and cannot do.You could continue scoring 70 points per game until you start the season , but Kendrick Perkins will accuse you of being hot practically.

The problem is for career mode. I was eager to get involved to play and have fun, but I was made to meet with JJ Redick and Perkins and learn how to win over the city regardless of how I'm performing on the court.I wasn't, however, scoring 70 points, and I played pretty badly in my debut game. Lakers Twitter would've killed me.

So I made the choice that Damian Lillard is too afraid to do. I ran away from the grind and employed VC to improve my player. It became much more enjoyable playing the games ....in-between playing Ronnie 2K and performing raps to randoms.The incorporation of the city and career mode was an excellent move, reducing the complexity of buy mt nba 2k23 multiple modes and introducing a great open-world aspect to the game as well.
