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
online vendors worldwide. One of the most dominant entertainment
franchises of the past decade, NBA 2K18 is reinventing sports
gaming yet again with the introduction of the Neighborhood, the
first live world inside NBA 2K18.
“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
franchise year after year, and we can’t wait for our community to
experience it for themselves.”
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.
