Tired of Giannis Running Like a Gazelle on PCP? How to Edit NBA Players in NBA 2K23 (Because Let's Face It, the Defaults Are Deranged)
We've all been there. You boot up NBA 2K23, ready to dominate the court with your MyPlayer, only to be met with the horrifying sight of opposing players moving like they're defying the laws of physics. Andre Drummond waltzing around the three-point line? James Harden somehow developing a burst of speed? It's enough to make you question the very fabric of reality (or at least the coding of the game).
But fear not, fellow ballers! There's a way to take back control and turn these glitch-y nightmares into something a little more...believable. Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the glorious world of editing NBA players in NBA 2K23.
Step 1: Accessing the Edit Player Menu (Don't Get Lost in the City!)
First things first, you gotta find the edit player menu. It's like searching for a decent slice of pizza in New York City - it's there, but it can be a bit of a maze. Here's the lowdown:
- For MyCareer: Head to your MyPlayer apartment (because apparently, even virtual ballers need a place to crash). Once you're chilling in your luxurious pad (or overpriced shoebox, depending on your draft position), hit the pause menu and navigate to the "MyPlayer" tab. From there, "Edit Player" should be your BFF.
- For Everything Else: If you're itching to turn LeBron into a three-point specialist (don't judge, we've all had that fantasy), you'll need to find the "Features" menu. This digital trophy room is where you can access stuff like rosters and, you guessed it, edit player.
Step 2: Unleashing Your Inner GM (With a Side of Hilarious Mayhem)
Now comes the fun part - wielding the power of a virtual GM! You can tweak anything from a player's physical attributes (like making Rudy Gobert even taller, just to see the chaos) to their signature moves (imagine a curry-throwing Jokic...the horror!). Here's a breakdown of the juicy editing options:
- Attributes: Feeling generous? Boost Damian Lillard's free throw rating to 99. Feeling sadistic? Tank Anthony Davis' vertical by, oh, I don't know, 50 points? The choice is yours (and yes, the results might be hilarious).
- Badges: Need to turn Klay Thompson into a defensive juggernaut? Slap a "Rim Protector" badge on him! Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility (and potentially a very confused Klay).
- Tendencies: This is where things get truly wild. Want to see Nikola Jokic attempt a behind-the-back dunk every possession? Go for it! Just be prepared for the inevitable airball and social media meltdown.
Step 3: Saving Your Masterpiece (or Should We Say, Monster?)
Once you've finished turning the NBA into a circus (or, you know, made some sensible adjustments), don't forget to save your changes. Nobody wants to put in all that hard work just to have it disappear faster than a free slurpee at a 7/11.
Remember: Editing players is a power to be wielded with caution (and maybe a dash of humor). Use it to create realistic rosters, fix glaring discrepancies, or, you know, unleash pure, unadulterated chaos on the virtual hardwood. Just don't come crying to me when your meticulously crafted three-point shooting Shaq airballs every shot.
