If it's time to hit the courts, you might want to know about the different game modes featured in NBA 2K23! For more details on any mode, be sure to check out the Courtside Report - but here we have a brief look at each one for you:
Jordan Challenge
Michael Jordan's career has always been legendary, and now you can relive the legend in the Jordan Challenge. Originally available in NBA 2K11, the Jordan Challenge is back and better than ever on both New Gen and Current Gen platforms. 15 unique game experiences strive to give you an authentic moment in time with one of basketball's greatest.
Seasons
Each 6 weeks, starting on game launch, we will introduce a new Season! Free for all NBA 2K23 gamers in MyTEAM, MyCAREER, and The W modes you can explore the fresh content, earn more rewards, and indulge in new ways to play. Just like last year Seasons has ways to level up your MyPLAYER in the City for New Gen or the Neighborhood for Current Gen gamers, with special MyPLAYER prizes!
MyTEAM
This year MyTEAM is introducing new experiences with more freedom to play the way you want - including breaking out from contracts! That's right, permanent player cards are now yours to use as you please throughout MyTEAM without needing to fill up their contracts.
The new ways to play include Triple Threat Online: Co-Op, a single-player variant of Clutch Time. From the more classic options we will have Challenges, Unlimited, single-player Triple Threat, and of course Domination.
MyCAREER
If you want to create your own player to join your favorite NBA team, this is where you do it, with a chance to explore the story of your NBA career in quests and so much more!
City & Neighborhood on the G.O.A.T. Boat
For NBA 2K23 on current gen platforms (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC) everyone's favorite cruise ship has been upgraded to the G.O.A.T. Boat!
If you're a New Gen player you're going to explore the City in new ways, including fast travel between key points to save you some time!
MyNBA/MyWNBA
MyNBA is exploring the endless possibilities of "What if?" in NBA 2K23 from different Eras. The previous MyNBA experience is now dubbed the “Modern Era” where you can play as you always have, but keep in mind there are a total of four Eras for you to explore in total.
- The Magic vs Bird Era
- The Jordan Era
- The Kobe Era
- The Modern Era
Each era is accurately depicted based on game footage and can transport you back in time to the courts, graphics, and commentary of that period.
But we haven't forgotten MyWNBA with an updated Playoff Bracket and the WNBA Commissioner's Cup, too. The W is seeing a lot of action on New Gen consoles with a focus on the community with The W Online, some great content and epic rewards, and Contact Challenges.
MyGM & MyLEAGUE
MyGM is the way you get to be the owner of your own NBA team - or teams! Build your roster, draft classes, and tweak the settings for things like contracts, progression, trades, and more.
Okay, so MyGM isn't enough, you want to run the whole League? Then MyLEAGUE is your speed. Access the current NBA teams, start in regular or off-season, and be in charge of it all. Or maybe you're looking for historic and custom teams, too? Then you will have a Custom League option just for that.
