A rivalry plotline in NBA 2K23 adds tension to the MyCareer mode, but one rivalry, in particular, has taken a bizarre turn.

Some aspects of MyCareer mode sit on the receiving end of criticism from disappointed fans. Notably, one person recently found that a Devin Booker challenge filled with objectives only rewards 500 VC, stirring discussion about this year’s in-game rewards.
NBA 2K23 is in stores now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
