While I still miss some of the more

Depending on the direction you take Nba 2k24 mt , you’ll be able to unlock a wide array of Leadership Skills, with some of the higher tier ones being quite powerful. The Leadership system is a nice addition, as it makes your MyCareer decisions feel consequential and gives you a way to advance your MyPlayer without rote levelling (at least offline, as you can’t use Leadership Skills against human opponents).

The City hub that houses MyCareer and many of NBA 2k24’s multiplayer modes has been redesigned this year, largely for the better. It’s actually been reduced in size, fast travel points have been provided, and certain types of landmarks (cosmetic stores, multiplayer Rec, Pro-Am courts, etc.) are now bunched together for easier access. Best of all, most of your MyCareer moments now happen in a convenient backstage arena area. All these changes are good in theory, but unfortunately, I found performance in The City surprisingly poor on PS5, with my character feeling like he was swimming in molasses at times. Perhaps the servers were just overloaded. Thankfully, the performance issues disappeared once I jumped on a court for a quick game.

Moving away from MyCareer, the MyNBA management mode introduces Eras this year, allowing you to lead your team through specific time periods, like the Magic vs. Bird 80s, The Jordan 90s, or, of course, the modern day. While I still miss some of the more in-depth roleplaying from past NBA 2K GM modes, I have to admit Eras are a great way to spice things up. For those who don’t want to just fiddle with trades and coaching staff, games are given full era-accurate makeovers, with old-school graphics and filters that make the action look like it’s being viewed on cheap 2k24 mt an old 20-inch CRT screen.
