NBA 2K23 introduced various eras in the MyNBA mode. All of those eras return with the addition of the "LeBron era" which begins in the 2010-11 NBA season when LeBron James teamed up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. The presentation graphics in this era are based on the ones from NBA 2K10, albeit with the score bug being placed in the bottom right instead of the top. In addition Mamba Moments are the equivalent to the Jordan Challenge in 2K23, but now players can play and recreate some of Kobe Bryant's most memorable and exciting moments of his career.[5] Furthermore, the song "Roundball Rock" by John Tesh was featured in the 1990s (Jordan era), as well as scenarios in the 1990s in Mamba Moments, and is featured in the game's 2K Beats soundtrack in the current gen version.
ProPLAY
[edit]
ProPlay is a new type of technology that translates NBA footage into 2k24 gameplay as opposed to solely using motion capture like in the past games of the franchise. NBA players worked with 2K to replicate the moves they use on the court over a season. With Proplay, jumpshots, dunks, layups, dribble moves, pass animations, signature movements, inbound passes, and other minor details will all be upgraded.[5] Game director Mike Wang said one of the benefits is to increase to animation accuracy of retired or deceased players, which was tougher to do with motion capture.[6]
Additional changes
[edit]
For the first time in NBA 2K history, 2K24 allows for cross-platform play, although it is only available on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game.[7] Over 100 new dribble moves were added which can be done by flicking the stick and gets rid of the need for complex inputs. Takeovers also received a change by allowing the player to boost stats such as shooting or finishing when triggering takeover.[6]
The 25th Anniversary Edition included 12 months of NBA League Pass in supported regions until September 13, 2023, with redemptions expiring on December 1, 2023, and codes expiring on December 31, 2023.
