Jordan Challenge and MyNBA updates

For the first time since NBA 2K11, the Jordan Challenge is added.[5]

MyNBA was also updated, allowing the user to begin their MyNBA career during the 1983–84, 1991–92, or 2002–03 NBA seasons. The player can also start in the current 2022–23 NBA season in the games "modern era" selection. The new MyNBA mode includes automatic team relocation's such as the Kansas City Kings moving to Sacramento, the Vancouver Grizzlies move to Memphis and the Seattle SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City, however the user can veto these moves. ^{[citation needed]} The "eras" mode features fully rendered arenas from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, complete historic rosters as well as the draft classes that were previously available in previous NBA 2K games. The mode also includes television filters and broadcast packages that emulate appropriate TV broadcast styles for the specific era the user starts in with the 90s broadcasts package being similar to the NBA on NBC package used early in 90s, and the 2000s broadcast package is similar to ESPN broadcasts used in the early 2000s. The 1980s and 90s broadcast packages are also used in the Jordan Challenge mode.
