NBA 2K23 MyCareer preview: Story details, how to pick your team ... (Polygon)

NBA 2K23's MyCareer mode will be "the biggest story that we've ever done," says the game's executive producer. Players can again pick the team that drafts ...

“This is hands down our biggest MyCareer story that we’ve ever done in the past; it’s insanely large,” Boenisch vowed. This somewhat echoes last year’s City Slam missions and storyline, where the player tries out for The City’s four factional teams, overcoming a series of five challenges for each to win everyone over. “And you’ll find that as soon as you go out into The City, the people of The City wanted Shep, too.” “Some people branch out to MyNBA [the franchise mode], some branch out to MyTeam [the ultimate team mode], but, ultimately, everyone plays MyCareer. It’s crazy.” Celebrity cameos this year include the hip-hop singer-songwriter and producer J. Boenisch said players will have several main and side-quest channels to win over the doubting public. NBA 2K20 eschewed collegiate licensing because the developers wanted to tell the story of a college player quitting his program on principle when an injured friend loses his scholarship. It’s taken risks, as in NBA 2K19 sending a washout from China to the G-League to rebuild his career ( So, given this setup, I expect NBA 2K23’s MyCareer to play with equal parts tongue-in-cheek, Better Off Dead-style humor and prove-them-all-wrong motivation. “So instantly, you get on stage, and [NBA Commissioner] Adam Silver’s got to shake your hand and the entire audience is booing. There will be Shep murals on the walls of The City’s buildings; people will be wearing Shep’s clothing labels, too. As if both sports series this year are answering longtime gripes about grinding out tutorial-level games to get drafted by the same terrible team, there’s no college preamble to NBA 2K23, no up-from-nothing tale reaching back to high school.
