1 | MyNBA is exclusive to the PlayStation 5/Xbox Series X/S version of NBA 2K23. |
2 | MyNBA Eras allow franchise gamers to begin their game in the past, playing through NBA history. |
3 | “What If” scenarios played a large role in designing the concept of MyNBA Eras. |
4 | The first era is the Magic vs. Bird Era. This starting point is set in 1983, ahead of a Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals and the legendary 1984 NBA Draft. |
5 | The second era is the Jordan Era, beginning in 1991 and representing the Chicago Bulls’ ascension to the league’s top. |
6 | The third era is the Kobe Era, which begins in 2002 with the titular Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal together on the Los Angeles Lakers. |
7 | The fourth and final era is the Modern Era, essentially the traditional franchise experience with current rosters and familiar features. |
8 | Each historical Era will have its official roster and Draft Classes. Roster and Draft Class customization is also available to add missing players. |
9 | Team branding is accurate to each Era and, by default, will change through the years to reflect reality. Over 100 new floors have been added this year. |
10 | Comprehensive year-to-year changes and complete accuracy with team branding remain a long-term goal with MyNBA Eras. |
11 | The era-specific video filters and presentation from the revamped Jordan Challenge will also be utilized during their Eras in MyNBA. |
12 | From 1983-2002, the commentary team will consist of Kevin Harlan, Clark Kellogg, and Mike Fratello. |
13 | From 2002-2020, Greg Anthony replaces Mike Fratello. |
14 | From 2021 onwards (including the Modern Era), the usual rotation of commentators returns. |
15 | Expansion teams will automatically join the NBA for the same season they did in real life. Manual expansion and re-branding are also still available. |
16 | Historical rules and subsequent rule changes are also accounted for. They can likewise be customized as in past iterations of MyNBA. Branding changes can also be accepted or overwritten. |
17 | Each Era has its unique frontend presentation to feel different. |
18 | As in the Jordan Challenge, gameplay for each Era is designed to be historically accurate regarding playstyle and performance. This includes authentic historical playbooks. |
19 | Finances change over time, with larger salaries and an expanding salary cap. |
20 | Division alignment and realignment are historically accurate and automatic. |
21 | The G League and social media will not appear before they are around in reality. |
22 | Shorts lengths are dynamic and era-appropriate. |
23 | There will be authentic All-Star jerseys, and players will wear their original team jerseys in All-Star Games during the years that concept was used. |
24 | Two referees will be on the sidelines, to begin with, and a third will eventually join them in the late 1980s. |
25 | The WNBA Playoff bracket has been updated to reflect the proper/current format, with the previous approach still being available as an option. |
26 | The Commissioner’s Cup has also been added to MyWNBA. |
27 | Team rivalry logic has been revamped for more intense gameplay when rivals meet, including more physicality and aggressiveness. |
28 | The calendar is now bigger and includes more relevant information at a glance. |
29 | The new Eastern and Western Conference Most Valuable Player award, introduced in 2022, is also in the game. |
