No fancy court designs for now

NBA 2K24 In-Season Tournamen

NBA 2K24 players can now vie for the first-ever NBA Cup as MyCAREER, MyTEAM, and MyNBA have been updated to include the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament for New Gen consoles.

In the real world, the NBA’s In-Season Tournament is an added dimension to the current 2023-2024 season wherein the 30 teams have randomly been drawn into six groups of five to compete in a separate tourney within the regular season.

In the group play stage, teams go head-to-head in “Tournament Nights” with the results also counting in the regular season team standings. 

The top teams from each of the six groups plus two wildcards advance to the knockout rounds where at stake is the NBA Cup.

For MyCAREER, NBA 2K24 is following the same rules and format as the NBA, giving players a more authentic feel as they try to lead their squad to the first-ever NBA Cup.

Only the Modern Era in MyNBA shall feature the tournament; to participate, simply advance to the next MyNBA season without having to create a new save file.

New Player Cards

Meanwhile, MyTEAM is introducing new NBA Tournament Battles Player Cards to collect to celebrate the In-Season Tournament.

These cards may evolve based on real-world matchups as the actual tournament progresses.

Completing the Western Conference collection leads to an Amethyst Michael Porter Jr. card while an Amethyst Tyler Herro card awaits those who will complete the Eastern Conference collection.

Ultimately, collecting all Emerald Players along with both Amethyst cards will lead to a reigning NBA Finals MVP Diamond Nikola Jokic.

No fancy court designs yet?

Based on the trailer, it seems that there will be no fancy court designs for now on NBA 2K24, unlike in the NBA where the home teams have been using eccentrically-designed home floors for their In-Season Tournament games.

For instance, the Chicago Bulls use a homecourt that is colored mostly in red while the Phoenix Suns have theirs colored in purple.

Perhaps NBA 2K24 will be working on securing the designs of each of the 30 teams and add them onto the game later.

Millennials, prepare to have your nostalgia get hit right in the feels. Nintendo has officially announced that Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to the Switch.

This year, the Pokémon franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Naturally, with Pokémon Day coming up, it’s only right to celebrate the event with something huge. Finally, two of the most prolific titles in the series are coming to a modern console.

Originally released in 2004, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen were remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. At the time, the two titles reimagined the older games for the Game Boy Advance. Additionally, they introduced new post-game content set in the Sevii Islands, where Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys reside in the Kanto region.

Based on the short teaser trailer, the upcoming Switch versions will feature all of both games’ content. It will likely be remastered for the Switch’s larger screen.

To showcase more of the Switch version, Nintendo is hosting a Pokémon Presents on February 27. The brand has not mentioned anything about a potential physical version yet. However, they do promise that both games will be available on the Nintendo eShop as soon as next week’s Pokémon Presents concludes. Each game will cost US$ 19.99.
