It's not even just about the simulation experience, it's about the creativity and user ability.
NBA 2k23's franchise mode just shits all over Madden's.
Just take team relocation for example. I won't bother explaining Madden's shit ass system, we're all aware of their premade jersey and team names etc.
NBA 2k23 allows users to relocate to any city, then rename the location. I.e, i can pick San Diego, and then rename the city to match whatever suburb. You can create your own team names, the stadium designer is soooo much more detailed than the whack ass preset options Madden gives you.
When it comes to Jerseys, you have a multitude of jerseys to pick from, and you can configure the color scheme any which way you like.
You can even upload your own custom logos and graphics, or pick from a community list of uploads.
Shit, NBA 2k23 even allows you to design your own shoes for your players to wear, and already includes a massive library for sneaker heads.
I was stoked to see my favorite shoe in the game from way back in middle school. I remember being in the 7th grade rockin' the Tracey McGrady's, and there they were in the game!
The player creator is much more fun and in depth. There's a much larger selection of body types rather than Madden's, basically, 3 types. Player creation allows for move/play styles. Reminds me of the WWE games that allow you to design wrestlers, pick their moves, fight styles, entrances, gear etc.
And don't even get me started on the controls.....the controls in NBA 2K23 kinda reminded me of a fighting game, in that you have dozens of moves you can execute. You can preset your character to cross over like Allen Iverson, or post up like Jokic.
The game just shits all over Madden in every conceivable way. It's a Franchise Mode lover's wet dream.
If you were like me, and all you ever played was Madden and you finally dipped into other Sport game franchises, you'd feel duped by Madden. Madden feels low effort AF compared to 2K23
