MyCareer is probably the most-played Game Mode in NBA 2K. Here players can live out their hoop dreams, controlling a player that can be in their likeness. The Game Mode has seen many storylines over the years. In NBA 2K24, the focus is on becoming The Greatest Of All Time or simple, The GOAT.

How you build your GOAT MyPlayer is entirely up to you. Full details of which are on this Courtside Report. What we’ll share here instead are the many gameplays you’ll experience in your journey to becoming the very best, like no one ever was.

From GOT NEXT to GOAT

For the first time in a while, your MyCareer will start with plenty of expectations. You’re coming in as the most highly touted prospect in the last 20 years. You’ll have an opportunity to learn from NBPA Player President CJ McCollum and Executive Director Tamika Tremaglio on to get from the GOT NEXT Tier to the GOAT Tier.

Key Games

Making a comeback are Key Games. Previously present in NBA 2K13 and NBA 2K14, My Career in NBA 2K24 encourages you to really play out an entire career. To do that, there will be Key Games throughout an NBA Season that you can skip to. Worried about your stats? NBA 2K promises that they’ve figured out a way to make your general game averages mostly play out the same during simulated games.

Beachfront City

An all-new 2K means an all-new The City. This time, it’ll be set in the beachfront. 2K also said the space is a little bit smaller now making it easier to move around. They also said there will be less sidequests now that might get in the way of the focus-on-the-game mindset players.

Rep your affiliation

The City will bring competitiveness to the forefront with Affiliations. Instead of four from previous games, NBA 2K24 will only have two — RISE and ELITE. Each Season, members of RISE and ELITE will fight to lift their Affiliation to victory, with the winning side reaping new prizes.Naturally, you start unaffiliated, but will choose a side later on. Stay in the Top 10 of your chosen Affiliation and get special rewards.

Starting 5

Want something new? Starting 5 is an online, 1v1, head-to-head mode on New Gen. Players can challenge each other as they choose a team and slot their MyPLAYER into the starting lineup alongside some of the NBA’s biggest names.

Streetball Side Quest

Do you prefer a single player experience? 2K didn’t forget about you. In Streetball Side Quest, there are three courts in The City. Each court presents its own set of challenge bosses and teams. Think of it like challenging a Gym Leader in Pokémon.

Streetball has its own progression system, with the chance to earn a Takeover perk, and offers a unique style of competition.

For full details on the new updates coming to MyCAREER and The City in NBA 2K24 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, check out the latest Courtside Report.

NBA 2K24 is currently scheduled for release on September 8 for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms. For more information, please visit the NBA 2K24 official website.

Project Helix is Xbox’s next console, and it plays PC games

It might be as powerful as a modern PC.

Among all the platforms in today’s generation of consoles, the Xbox has to be biggest loser. Compared to the PlayStation 5 and the Switch 2, the Xbox Series X|S isn’t as memorable. To rectify its position in the rankings, Xbox is heavily teasing its next console codenamed Project Helix.

As was hinted before, Xbox is trying something different with its next-generation console. Rather than just a simple iteration over the current-generation console, the upcoming one will reportedly double as a PC. Today, the company itself has confirmed that this is the case for Project Helix.

Through a post on X, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said that the console will “lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games.”

Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox including Project Helix, the code name for our next generation console.

Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about… pic.twitter.com/Xx5rpVnAZI

There are two things to unpack here. Firstly, Project Helix will aim to bridge the perilous divide between console players and PC players. Unlike the past, there will be a way to play both platforms on both devices… except for games exclusive to the PlayStation and the Switch, that is.

Secondly, a “lead in performance” seems to indicate that this isn’t just a mini-PC. Most recently, Valve announced the Steam Machine. Though it offers a convenient way to play Steam games in one device, it doesn’t have the best specs. Project Helix, if Sharma’s words are to be believed, might be as powerful as a modern PC.

Xbox won’t wait long before revealing more details about the console. Sharma, who only recently started her post as CEO, will be at next week’s Game Developers Conference to explain Project Helix more.

Ubisoft confirms Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake

It’s officially called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced.

If you ask an Assassin’s Creed fan what their favorite game of the series is, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag will likely be one of the top contenders. Because of its reputation, gamers are constantly asking for a remake of the popular pirate simulator. Now, the dream is finally here. Ubisoft has confirmed that a remake, called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, is coming.

Released in 2013, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag saw the journey of Edward Kenway, a vagabond pirate haplessly thrust into life as part of the Assassin Brotherhood against his will. The critically acclaimed game was something that all gamers have been clamoring for since Sid Meier’s Pirates: a true pirate simulator. It was no surprise that the game got as popular as it did.

Today, through an official roadmap shared by the company, Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is real, and it might launch later this year. The company also released the first concept art for the remake.

Currently, there’s no official word as to how Ubisoft is remaking the game. At the very least, we can expect significant graphical upgrades to put it up to par with the modern games. We wouldn’t be opposed to more stories and missions too.

Now, though the Black Flag remake is already a big deal, the same roadmap also emphasizes that Codename Hexe, the next mainline title, is still coming. Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed the actual timeline yet, but the game will depict “a pivotal moment in history.” With post-launch development for the ongoing Shadows winding down, efforts to launch Codename Hexe should be ramping up soon.

PlayStation will stop releasing its games on PC

A new reports suggests that Sony is going back to console exclusives.

PC-only gamers have been eating well for the past few years. The formerly exclusive PlayStation library opened its gates and released worthy ports for PC. Unfortunately, Sony is putting an end to this short-lived era of openness to PC gamers. According to a new report, the company is once again making first-party PlayStation games exclusive to the console.

During the pandemic, Sony started releasing its critically acclaimed first-party games on PC. The new wave saw gamers get the ability to play titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and God of War on another platform. Even now, players are still eagerly awaiting the PC launch of Death Stranding 2, due out later this year.

However, as reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Sony has just had a change of heart and will no longer release any more games on the PC, beyond those already confirmed for future launches.

This will mean that last year’s Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming Saros will remain PlayStation exclusives for the foreseeable future.

It’s a big change to Sony’s direction. However, it’s not without its precedents. For one, Microsoft has started to compete in the non-exclusive market. The company is already set to launch Fable and Forza Horizon 6 on other platforms, including PC and PlayStation, concurrently with the Xbox launch. To compare, PlayStation still waits a long time before launching exclusive games on PC.

Also, now that rumors have begun to speak of a fabled PlayStation 6, Sony might want to keep things close to its chest for now. After all, selling the console might be its top priority for now.
