Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in! You wanna know about that NBA 2K23 thing, huh? That game with all them fellas runnin’ around, bouncin’ that orange ball. My grandson, bless his heart, he plays it all the time. Drives me up the wall with all that yellin’ and screamin’ at the TV.
So, you’re askin’ when them NBA 2K23 servers gonna shut down? Sounds like somethin’ important, like when Farmer Johnson’s well went dry last summer. From what I hear, them fancy computer folks sayin’ it’s gonna be December 31st, 2024. That’s the day they pull the plug, like takin’ the batteries outta my old radio.

Now, I ain’t no computer whiz, but I reckon that means you can’t play with other folks online no more after that. Like when they closed down the old bingo hall. No more shoutin’ “Bingo!” across the room. Just you and that game, all alone.
And get this, they say you won’t even be able to buy the darn thing after November 30, 2024. Like when they stopped sellin’ them good ol’ fashioned candy bars at the general store. If you already got it, you can still play some of it, I reckon. Like, uh, practice by yourself, I suppose. They call that “offline.”
- December 31st, 2024 – that’s the big day. Mark it on your calendar, if you got one.
- November 30, 2024 – last call for buyin’ it.
- No more playin’ with others online after the shut down.
- You can still play some parts, like by yourself if you already have the game.
They say it’s like all the other NBA 2K games. They just shut ’em down after a while. That’s what those developers do, they just decide. One day you’re playin’, next day, poof! It’s gone. Like when my old rooster, Clucky, just up and disappeared one mornin’. Never saw him again.
I heard somethin’ about some “locker room” and “discontinued.” Sounds mighty official, don’t it? Like when the mayor made that big announcement about the new traffic light. Big whoop, I say. It don’t change the fact the cows still gotta cross the road. These words are from those 2K support people, whatever that means.
So, if you’re one of them NBA 2K23 players, you better get your fill now. It’s like when the pie lady at the county fair says she’s only got one blueberry pie left. You better grab a slice before it’s gone!
I remember when my Jimmy, that’s my grandson, was all excited about this NBA 2K23 game. Said it was the best thing since sliced bread. He’d spend hours in front of that screen, yellin’ at them little men runnin’ around. Drove me nuts, but he sure did love it.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ it’s a bad thing, this whole NBA 2K23 business. Just sayin’, things change. Nothin’ lasts forever. Like my old garden. One year it’s full of tomatoes and beans, next year, nothin’ but weeds.
These computer games, they’re like that. Here today, gone tomorrow. Remember that other game about shooting? That game shut down too. The NBA 2K23 servers will be like that.
So, you enjoy that game while you can. Have a good time with your friends online, before them servers shut down and it’s all over. It’s like when the carnival comes to town. You ride the Ferris wheel, eat your cotton candy, and then it’s gone. Just a memory.
Well, I reckon that’s about all I know about this NBA 2K23 thing. Hope it makes sense to ya. I ain’t no expert, just tellin’ it like I see it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go shoo the chickens outta my flower bed. They’re worse than them little men in that basketball game, I tell ya!
