Graphics:

There is a significant difference between the two-gen NBA 2K23 with the game running at 1080p at 60 FPS in the current-gen consoles and in the new-gen consoles it runs at 4K at 60 FPS. With better graphics, the game feels smoother and nicer on the new gen.

AI:

The AI in the new gen is also far superior as compared to the one in the current gen. The off-the-ball movement and offensive playmaking is much better in the new gen and it feels more real to play against.

MyCareer’s Player Hub:

NBA 2K has made The City exclusive for the new-gen version. That means there are not many options in the Player Hub of MyCareer in the current gen version of the game. The current-gen version comes with the G.O.A.T. Boat.

Pricing:

The current-gen version for the NBA 2K23 which is for PS 4, Xbox One, and PC is going for $60 and the next-gen version for PS 5 and Xbox Series X/S is going for $70. There is also a difference in size with the next-gen version needing 142 GB free space which is 20GBs more than the current-gen version.

Several smaller changes in the new-gen version of the game such as the new badge system, More authentic shooting and shooting actions and animations, Team takeover redesign, control over the rim hang, and Adrenaline boosts. Overall both the versions are much better than the NBA 2K22 and the developers have paid much more attention to details. The slider is more sensitive and is responding in 2K23.
