NBA 2K18 Standard Edition - PlayStation 4

The future of sports career modes has arrived, allowing you to play the game the way you like. Featuring new MyPLAYER upgrade and endorsement systems, our biggest cast of characters to date including NBA players, and so much more, players can build their 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 overarching meta-game that rewards users for improving their MyPLAYER's overall rating, regardless of which modes they choose to play, is The Road to 99. Featuring a unified badge system across Pro-Am, 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.

Get a free sneak peek at the neighborhood, one week prior to the full release of NBA 2K18, by hitting the Proving Ground streetball courts with your MyPLAYER and showing the world what you have to offer. This Prelude is available September 8 on the PS Store and Xbox Live.

Create the MyPLAYER you want, whether scanning your face with the MyNBA2K18 mobile app or building something custom using our preset options. Updated with numerous new hairstyle options to choose from, and body weight and height more accurately represented to ensure the unique look you want for your MyPLAYER.

Collect player cards featuring NBA legends from yesterday and today, and compete in a variety of online and offline modes in MyTEAM. In a new season mode called Super Max, construct a salary-capped team and compete against other users of similar ability. With a limited salary cap to distribute among 13 players, you'll have to be strategic in selecting your lineup for each round, with prizes awarded based on your performance each round.

An all-new draft mode called Pack & Playoffs challenges you to build the best possible 5-man team from packs you'll open before each round. Compete against other users' drafted teams and advance to earn better prizes, with a new lineup and a new experience every round. Additionally, play through a 30 game schedule for each of the 30 NBA teams in Schedule Challenges, earning MyTEAM points and prizes as you work your way through 900 unique challenges based on the 2017-18 NBA schedule.

The new motion system brings player control to a new level of realism, with dribbling and off the ball movement no longer driven by animations. This groundbreaking technology dynamically creates animations to deliver the best gameplay experience possible, putting the player in complete control. An improved shot meter, featuring multiple feedback points for more precise shot timing, also helps players hit shots more consistently.

Countless hours of work have been put in to make every NBA player look and feel like their real-life counterparts, down to the smallest details including scars, stretch marks, and even faded tattoos. Laser scanned uniforms from all 30 NBA teams accurately depict each design down to the smallest stitch, with True Color Technology making team colors more pure & authentic, and whites popping brighter than ever. Future Hall of Famers and former NBA 2K cover athletes Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett join the booth on a rotating basis to lend their expertise to the broadcast, bringing the total number of in-game broadcasters to 13.
