2K23 MT needs to go the FIFA route and make team chemistry and player chemistry valuable. The USA lost to Australia as well as Nigeria with their best team. This is due to the fact that they played a lot of men together. Australia as well as Nigeria are home to players who have played together for many years. I think they should eliminate the position lock, but also add serious penalties for players who are out of position just like FIFA does. In the final phase of the year, when each card is swollen up, the penalties won't matter so much, but it will be fine because it would be the end of the road at that point.
These are my thoughts. I believe these changes will bring many more options because chemical boosts could provide a wide range of lineups feasible. Also, no position locks gives people more freedom to emulate real life teams. The chemistry system on FIFA is horrible. It takes away the possibility of making your "ultimate team", which is why we have less usable players on FIFA compared to 2k, due to the fact that you can't fit good players outside of top nations and leagues with a myriad of elite icons. The 2nd most secure position lock is.
I'd like to see something like NHL had/has where each player has their own specific role that they play and how these roles influence chemistry or something. I can think of a team like the 2004 Pistons in which their talents and roles just fit so seamlessly that they played more effectively than the totality of their components. If there were five main scorers, the team wouldn't have the same level of chemistry as a team that has great defense and scoring, playmaking or any other combination. They already have ratings for how a player fits a system therefore would it be crazy for a similar rating for every role?
What do you think? Anything other than making the majority of players unusable due to imaginary relationship issues in the court. In the end, this game mode is about making your ideal team. Edit: IMO, they should concentrate on resolving the numerous issues first before adding something similar to this. This game would be a lot better if the bugs were fixed and multiplayer wasn't reliant on input lag learning.
It's not a chemistry thing that makes players ineffective, it's a boost. In fact, playing out of position will decrease their Ovr. This is an upgrade from what the Duos perform and NBA2king. So maybe for like every player on the same team or university or even the country, it could boost certain stats, and maybe the entire team's starting five could earn badges. Imagine if I had an Sixers starting five and ran Simmons out of his position at the point. The remaining players would remain in their normal position. Simmons would get a serious penalty, and could possibly be upgraded some of his badges.
