The source blog post offers very in-depth explanations of each of these facets, but the core idea of MyNBA is that it offers an improved experience by mixing the best parts of MyGM and MyLeague together. It allows players to create a hardcore MyLeague management experience with RPG elements or create an RPG experience with added depth in its rules and regulations. Perhaps the best part of all is that almost none of the new content is forced upon players either. Those who prefer the standard gameplay options of either mode can still take advantage of those at any time.
What’s also an added bonus is that MyNBA becomes a simplified offering by letting the mode’s entire online community work together to bring out its best parts. If wading through the sea of menus gets too complicated, just look through the 2K Share options to select rosters and options that sound closest to the experience you want. MyGM and MyLeague will always be a bit dense, but MyNBA lets you tailor experience to see as much or as little of its underpinnings as you desire. For folks who love to crunch the numbers, MyNBA sounds like a strong offering.
NBA 2K21 comes to Xbox Series X/S November 10 and PS5 November 12.
