Set to offer up some brand new ways to play, NBA 2K23 will stock 3 on 3, online co-op, a single player version of Clutch Time, and lots more.
It’s a whole new ballgame
Maybe NBA 2K23 isn’t a whole new ballgame, but there’s a heck of a lot of new stuff in this latest basketball title from 2K Sports. And most of that starts with MyTEAM.
Clutch Time expands this year, into the single player arena, plus Triple Threat Online will deliver 3v3 action with Party Mode, Co-Op, and Competitive play. There’s more too, and did I mention that chance to once again win yourself $250k? Well, I did now.
“We’ve implemented a number of highly requested changes to MyTEAM this year that were top of mind for our community, including the removal of contracts, along with the addition of Triple Threat Online: Co-Op that allows players to team up with friends for the first time ever to test their skills in Co-Op 3v3 online gameplay”, said Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at 2K and Visual Concepts. “We expect to see some exciting match-ups with the return of our annual $250,000 MyTEAM Unlimited Tournament as the best NBA 2K players go head-to-head to prove their skills on the virtual court!”
