exciting and most thrilling basketball simulation experience in the world of
video games, and it looks like its latest installment is set to exceed the
expectations of basketball-loving gamers as 2K Games recently announced the
introduction of what is considered to be the first open world inside any sports
video game franchise.
Highly regarded as the next chapter in the series' evolution, developer
Visual Concepts is bringing every NBA 2K game's most-loved elements - MyPARK,
Pro-Am and the popular MyCareer experience - to a different world where players
can experience the life of an NBA player on and off the court. Yes, NBA 2K18 gives
you The Neighborhood.
What can anyone's own customized players expect inside an environment
that is unlike anything in any in-game career mode? Well, imagine yourself having
a good day shavin' inside a barbershop, practicing your own moves and playing
with your friends in the playground, listening to the hottest beats, and looking
at the latest gear while strolling around them all in just one day. This is
what The Neighborhood is all about as player actions can affect the user's
experience as well as its rewards.
Then there is Road To 99 which rewards users for improving the overall
rating of their customized players regardless of which mode they are playing.
It features a unified badge system across Park, Pro-Am and the user's NBA journey
via MyCareer which defines the customized player's play style on the road to an
overall rating of 99.
