Happy National Cinema Day! Movie theaters all over North America, from AMC, Regal, and more, are selling tickets today for just $3 each!

In NBA 2K22, Shooting Guard was meta because the position got the best Badge selection; however, NBA 2K23 has nerfed and balanced the Badges this time around, making player’s height have more impact on your playstyle since it can affect even player animation and dribble moves. Several meta builds also relied on the “maximum weight” glitch: putting in the maximum number of weights will improve your character stats (supposedly because a heavier build will give more attributes)....
