Today, 2K has revealed the upcoming enhancements and modifications for MyNBA* and The W* in NBA 2K24, specifically tailored for PlayStation® 5 (PS5™) and Xbox Series X|S. MyNBA invites fans to immerse themselves in the LeBron MyNBA Era, accompanied by an efficient way to jump into the game swiftly through MyNBA Lite. Furthermore, The W will see fresh updates, granting players greater autonomy as they chart their course to achieving WNBA stardom.
MyNBA Welcomes a New Era
In the previous year, MyNBA introduced the concept of “Eras,” allowing players to relive some of the most iconic moments in basketball history. This year, a fresh opportunity awaits as players can rewrite the annals of history by stepping onto the court during the LeBron Era. Here, they have the chance to immerse themselves in the basketball prowess of the 2010s and align themselves with none other than LeBron James, the all-time leading scorer in NBA history.
Erick Boenisch, Vice President of NBA Development at 2K and Visual Concepts, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re thrilled for MyNBA fans to delve into the exciting new experiences this game has in store this year. MyNBA Eras continues to empower players to shape the future and relive the past of the NBA, now featuring a pivotal chapter in NBA history with the LeBron Era. Additionally, we’ve made the mode more accessible with MyNBA Lite, streamlining the process of diving into MyNBA for a faster and more seamless experience.”
- MyNBA Lite: Empowering new players to get in the game faster, MyNBA Lite delivers a pick-up-and-play approach to the beloved franchise mode. Casual players will find the streamlined experience more approachable and intuitive, providing the perfect entry point for those looking to explore MyNBA. MyNBA Lite gives players the freedom and flexibility to quickly make the moves they need to win a title, such as making trades without CBA restrictions, extending contracts, having visibility on upcoming draft classes and more.
- The LeBron Era: Players can relive or rewrite the 2010s basketball era that saw LeBron James join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to create the ‘Heatles’ superteam. As fans progress from the 2010s into the Modern Era, select players will undergo an automatic aging transformation, a new feature that is present in all of the historic Eras.
- 2023 Collective Bargaining Agreement: To account for the new CBA that the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association agreed on this past year, NBA 2K24 is implementing new features like a luxury tax brackets scale with the salary cap, cap smoothing, increased value from the Mid-Level Exceptions (MLEs) and more
MyLEAGUE makes its triumphant return in NBA 2K24, available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. This mode empowers players to take on the role of a General Manager, making strategic decisions to guide their franchise towards championship triumph or, should they choose, rise to the esteemed position of the NBA Commissioner, with the ability to shape the league’s destiny.
Pursue Greatness in The W
The W makes a highly anticipated return in NBA 2K24 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. In this edition, The W offers players fresh avenues to shape the course of their WNBA journey. They can engage in casual 3v3 street games, pursue exciting new rewards, and explore a host of other enhancements.
Felicia Steenhouse, Senior Producer at Visual Concepts, shared her enthusiasm, stating, “Enhancing The W experience in NBA 2K is consistently an exhilarating aspect of our annual endeavors. We eagerly anticipate witnessing how players opt to craft their careers within The W while striving for excellence on the basketball court.”
The W will also add a variety of new features for the women’s game, including:

- In Pursuit of Greatness: An all-new feature – “In Pursuit of Greatness” – will be added to The W this year, where players can be pitted against some of the WNBA’s most gifted stars to see how they compare to their rival;
- Pick-Up Games: Instead of last year’s Contact Challenges, this year, players can earn exciting badge perks by competing against a veteran from their own team, a star player they’re in a position battle with, and historic legends;
- The W Rewards: New rewards and content will be available in The W and The W Online, earned by winning games and completing challenges to unlock updated 2K Breakthrough Skins, MyTEAM Jersey Cards, and player-enhancing MyTEAM Shoe Cards and more exciting rewards.
