2017 – 2K today announced that NBA® 2K18, the next
iteration of the top-selling and top-rated NBA video game
simulation series*, is now available for purchase at retail and

“Our commitment to authenticity has always been top priority,
and we’re truly changing the game with the new features in NBA
2K18,” said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts. “It’s
exciting to be at the forefront of sports gaming by evolving the

NBA 2K18 on PlayStation® 4, Xbox One, Windows PC and Nintendo
Switch delivers dynamic new features including:
RUN THE ALL-NEW NEIGHBORHOOD: The future of sports career modes
has arrived, allowing you to play the game the way you like
while living in an immersive basketball themed environment.
Build your career in NBA games, hit the courts in The Playground
Park, join the Pro-Am circuit, or explore the shops and venues
in an all-new open neighborhood setting.
THE ROAD TO 99: The overarching meta-game that rewards users for
improving their MyPLAYER’s overall rating, regardless of which
MyCAREER modes they choose to play. Featuring a unified badge
system across Pro-Am, Playground Park and your NBA journey in
MyCAREER, your attributes, animations and badges all combine to
define your play style on your road to a 99 overall rating.
NEW MOTION SYSTEM: The new motion system brings player control
to a new level of realism. Now, dribbling and off the ball
movement are no longer driven by animations. This groundbreaking
technology dynamically creates animations to deliver the best
gameplay experience possible. You are now in complete control.
MyTEAM: Collect cards featuring NBA legends from yesterday and
today, and compete in a variety of online & offline modes
including the all-new Super Max and Pack & Playoffs.
UPDATED CREATE A PLAYER: Create the MyPLAYER you want, whether
scanning your face with the MyNBA2K18 mobile app or building
something custom using preset options. Hairstyles have been
updated with numerous new options to choose from, and body
weight and height are more accurately represented to ensure the
unique look you want for your MyPLAYER.
ALL-TIME TEAMS: The greatest players in NBA history from all 30
teams, together on All-Time franchise rosters for the very first
time. Compete in Play Now to find out which franchise’s All-Time
Team reigns supreme, or challenge all 30 All-Time Teams in
MyTEAM’s All-Time Domination mode.
CLASSIC TEAMS: Play with 62 of the NBA’s greatest teams from the
past, including 17 new additions. Pit your favorite classic
roster against current NBA teams, replay epic Finals matchups,
find out if Shaq & Kobe can compete with the great Lakers teams
of the past, or matchup the ’97-98 Bulls against the ’15-16
Warriors to settle the argument once and for all. The
possibilities are endless.
