NBA 2K24 is right around the corner and we’re getting more updates on what to expect. Today, we are treated two game modes getting notable additions: MyNBA and The W.

MyNBA gets new era, more

For the unfamiliar, MyNBA is NBA 2K’s franchise mode. Here you can customize your league and run a team to your liking. Draft rookies, make trades, sign free agents, and the whole shebang. In NBA 2K23, 2K introduced eras that let you start a league at different key moments of the NBA. And the latest addition is all about that new era.

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 players progress into the Modern Era, select players will undergo an automatic aging transformation. That’s also a new feature present in all of the historic Eras.

Side note: Steph Curry is notably missing in these artworks.

2023 Collective Bargaining Agreement

Fancy yourself as a General Manager or GM? Well, you can put your management skills to the test against the new CBA that the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association agreed on this past year. NBA 2K24 a luxury tax brackets scale with the salary cap, cap smoothing, increased value from the Mid-Level Exceptions (MLEs) and more.

MyNBA Lite

If that’s too much for you and you just want to wheel and deal your way to a Championship, 2K has you covered.

MyNBA Lite gives a pick-up-and-play approach to the franchise mode. It gives players the freedom and flexibility to quickly make the moves they need to win a title. These include making trades without CBA restrictions, extending contracts, having visibility on upcoming draft classes and more. It’s the perfect entry point for those looking to explore MyNBA.

The W gets shades of MyCareer gameplay

If you feel shortchanged by how your W player progresses, then fret not. It has improved in NBA 2K24.

Choose Your Path

Here, players can enter the league as a college hoops sensation or an up-and-coming player with valuable international experience. You decide how your WNBA career ultimately unfolds.

In Pursuit of Greatness

To be great, you gotta face the greats. Here, players can go up against some of the WNBA’s most gifted stars to see how they measure up.

Pick-up Games

Instead of 2K23’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. These can be earned by winning games and completing challenges. Emerging the victor unlocks updated 2K Breakthrough Skins, MyTEAM Jersey Cards, and player-enhancing MyTEAM Shoe Cards and more exciting rewards.

PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.

Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.

By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.

(The driver can be downloaded here.)

The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.

Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.

Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.

Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.

if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
