DisRespect to deliver some of the coolest rewards I’ve seen in a 2K game to date. 2k has also partnered with Mountain Dew and popular streamer Dr. Completing all 40 levels will unlock a hoverboard for your MyPLAYER to ride around on. Competing in rec, park, or pro-am games will give you XP towards exclusive rewards. Season rewards have returned to the park. There are several separate sections of the “Neighborhood” with different game modes that we’ve seen in the past, such as Pro-Am and Rec. The “Neighborhood” looks the same as in NBA 2K22, with different NPCs scattered throughout, giving you side quests. I was selected by the Raptors (which I assume is the default) and then was given the option to start the summer league. You get the option to choose a college but are taken right into the draft. Initially, you will choose what your stats are capped at to determine how many badges you can earn. For example, if you obtain all 15 Chicago Bulls trophy case collectibles, you are rewarded with a 96 overall diamond Derrick Rose.īuilding out your M圜AREER player is reminiscent of last year’s NBA 2K experience. Collecting all the required trophy case collectibles will unlock an exclusive diamond card for the corresponding team. ![]() Players are given an MVP trophy collectible when completing modern collections in MyTEAM instead of points or a token reward. Generally, 2K will launch with a set of packs that contains base cards and then a set of promo packs. Something interesting I noticed was that there was only one pack to buy in the store. There are five different dominations to play through, with an Amethyst Julius Randle as the reward for completing the current domination. This is a fast-paced 5v5 experience with a 14-second shot clock-legacy game modes like Domination, Challenges, and Triple Threat. When you first launch it, you're quickly tasked with playing through a game of the newly added "Clutch Time" mode in MyTEAM. This is the same content rollout we saw in last year's 2K, and I think it does a great job at giving MyTEAM plenty of longevity. MyTEAM in this year's 2K will be updated with a new season every 40 or so days with new challenges and rewards. The popular MyTEAM game mode is back in NBA 2K23 with a few new additions, but the game mode looks eerily similar to that of NBA 2K22. Each challenge is a full-length game in itself, so even though there isn’t much to do after beating all the challenges, it won’t be a quick endeavor. This mode makes sure to make your on-court players move slowly, but that’s just because the pace and tempo in that era were slower. They’ve also made Michael Jordan somewhat overpowered, making the game more enjoyable. The difficulty isn’t all that challenging. Gameplay-wise, there is nothing much new here. Watching Georgetown desperately try to feed Ewing in an attempt to come back was something I haven’t really noticed in a 2K game before. The AI would take its time each possession, but near the end game, as I was winning, I noticed the AI start to up the tempo and run their offense through Ewing. Georgetown consistently worked the ball around the perimeter, not settling for shots. This game genuinely felt like a college game from the 80s. In the first challenge, you play with Michael Jordan’s 1982 UNC squad against Patrick Ewing and Georgetown in the NCAA championship. Before each game, there is a live interview from one of Jordan’s rivals, teammates, or sometimes friends. ![]() ![]() When this game mode was first announced, 2K had promised that they “scouted, studied, and made key gameplay changes to fit the feel of each era to make each game feel like time traveling through NBA history.” This unique game mode adopts a retro visual filter by giving you the feel of watching a basketball game on a fuzzy TV, which is a refreshing experience. With specific in-game goals, such as winning the game by 15 points or getting nine rebounds with Michael Jordan. Immediately once my game finished installing, I went directly to the “Jordan Challenges,” a new game mode that allows you to play through some of Michael Jordan’s most iconic moments.
