Fans are getting upset about the new NBA 2K23 roster update

With the new NBA 2K23 finally releasing their first roster bi-weekly update to fans, it seems that it hasn’t brought much joy to them. Despite a lot of upgrades, fans said that they are not very impressed by them. Some said that Gary Trent, despite averaging 20 points per game, was not in the 80s while others said Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should be 90 at minimum for averaging 32.

Some other fans said that 2K is disrespecting Kelly Olynyk as he is NBA’s best shooter but instead is still in 76-77 stats. Other fans noticed that NBA 2K23 also changed the physical stats of the players as well.
