The NBA Playoffs currently underway, 2K Games uses NBA 2K23 MT to create a simulation of the teams and determine which teams will take part in the final. In the NBA Playoffs are underway, playing 16 teams against each other in a best of seven competition to determine who will be the 2022 NBA Champion. In the video game world, 2K Games attempts to predict the NBA Final, using NBA 2K23 to model the entire tournament like they did last year with NBA 2K21.

The simulation is constructed by using it's NBA Playoffs mode and entering the teams in their correct positions to accurately recreate the real-world structure. NBA 2K23 runs the games with an automated system and runs each playoff round with the goal of determining the winner each one and moving them to the next round.

The first round had few surprise, as many of the teams with power took on their foes with ease. The matches that included teams further in the rankings were a bit of a slug in particular the Mavericks and Jazz team, who played all seven games, despite an absence from NBA 2K23's cover athlete Luka Doncic in the first game and two.

Perhaps the most exciting surprise is the seventh seed Brooklyn Nets defeating the second-seed Boston Celtics in six games, mostly because the Celtics are on a 2-0 roll in the opening round. The only prediction that's the closest to coming true is the Philadelphia 76ers sweeping in the series against the Toronto Raptors, as the game is currently 3-0 Philadelphia's favor.

The second game of the round saw The Phoenix Suns takedown Doncic and the Mavericks in just six games while the Grizzlies beat the Warriors in just six games. The 76ers continued to establish their dominance in the postseason due to Ja Morant. He is one of the best players in NBA 2K23. They defeated Miami Heat Miami Heat in five games. The Bucks beat the Nets in an intense seven-game set, creating the conditions for an exciting set of Conference Finals.

The first-seed Suns progress onto the NBA Final by eliminating the second-seed Grizzlies in six games, which ended their outstanding season. Devin Booker will have likely contributed to the Suns remarkable playoff run, considering Booker is the second-best shooting guard for NBA 2K23 ranking just behind James Harden.

In a turn around of fortunes they are eliminated by the Bucks after they lost just one game in the tournament's initial two rounds. It's a shocking conclusion to what proved to be a thrilling beginning to Milwaukee and their supporters. The stage is set for a final between the first seed Suns and the third seed Bucks.

The Bucks would come close to winning their 2022 NBA Championship, but their efforts were blocked with the Suns. In a Finals series that lasted all seven rounds, Phoenix is able to knock down Milwaukee, putting an end to Milwaukee's excellent season and exciting post-season run.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, NBA 2K23's best power forward, falls short of his second consecutive trophy but the Greek Freak will not have to wait long to get another shot at winning it all. The Phoenix Suns, congratulations on winning the 2K MT Championship, but now is the time to find out how their virtual representation translates into the real-life game.
