Full Steam announcements and update articles for this title.
The wait is almost over. Get ready for NBA 2K27 tip-off with a glimpse at what’s ahead.
Community feedback plays an important role in the evolution of NBA 2K and how our team at Visual Concepts continues to push the limits of authenticity, competition, and innovation—both on and off the court. This year, we’ve listened closely to your input, and we’ve made enhancements to several popular features—but you’ll have to tune into the Preseason Breakdown on August 18 for the full reveal.
The NBA 2K community has never been stronger. We are fresh off our biggest year in franchise history, and it's your passion and energy on the court that has helped shape what’s coming next.
To celebrate, we’re doing something we’ve never done before. Because our community has grown together, we want you to experience what's next together.
We’re dropping all NBA 2K27 game news in a single day. Tune in as we breakdown this year’s most anticipated innovations and features, and dive into all things NBA 2K27.
The countdown starts now. See it all during the NBA 2K27 Preseason Breakdown: Game Reveal stream on August 18 at 10:00 AM PT, live on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and X.
Until then, we’re excited to give the community an early scouting report with details about gameplay, the MyPLAYER Builder, The City, and more—let’s get into it.
This year, we focused on creating a more balanced, more rewarding gameplay experience with enhancements on both ends of the court. To achieve this fully, we needed to make AI defenders feel more impactful, especially on defense.
AI defenders in 2K27 will now contest shots more effectively, addressing a frequent point of feedback within the community. We recognized that AI defenders could be frustrating teammates in modes like The REC, often surrendering their position easily. Now, they’ll do a better job of contesting shots and won’t be as affected by Triple-Threat Stepovers.
This year, we’re adding a new layer of skill to finishing at the rim: all dunk attempts must now be timed using the Dunk Meter.
In NBA 2K26, the Dunk Meter remained static regardless of what happened mid-air. For NBA 2K27, we've made the meter fully dynamic and created more realistic outcomes in the process. It now continuously evaluates defensive positioning from the moment you take off all the way through the finish.
For example, slashers who beat their defender with a quick first step and attack an open paint will see their green window expand. However, if a defender manages a late closeout after a clean takeoff, that green window will shrink—making the dunk tougher to complete.
Stay tuned for the full gameplay reveal coming on August 18!
NBA 2K27 features 53 total Badges, an increase from the 40 total badges in NBA 2K26. We removed six Badges from last year—but added 19 new Badges and made updates to the returning Badges to ensure a balanced experience. This year, we want to push players toward their strengths and experiment with new Badges to craft builds that are more unique.
Here is a sneak peek at three of the new Badges:
Pace - Increases the overall sprint speed of the ball handler in all offensive situations.
Wall-Up - Decreases the opponent’s shot chance when playing hands-up defense.
Flash - Improves overall movement during transition offense (without the ball) and defense.
Cap Breakers are returning in NBA 2K27, and based on community feedback, players can now see a preview of the attribute boosts directly in the Builder. Gone are the days of creating builds and entering The City repeatedly just to find the most optimized Cap Breaker layout. Enjoy a more streamlined experience and spend more time competing in The City.
We’re eager to see how the community puts these 19 new Badges and Cap Breakers to use—along with a host of other new additions to the MyPLAYER Builder.
For the first time, the Auction House is now unified across PlayStation®5, XBOX Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, representing the largest pool of community-listed cards in MyTEAM history.
This opens the door to more variety in the Auction House and a higher chance of finding cards you’re looking for at more consistent prices.
We’ve also made transactions faster when purchasing cards in the Auction House. In 2K27, there will no longer be a verification delay when you win an auction on PlayStation®5, XBOX Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch 2. This means, when you buy a card it will be available immediately—so you can test your new-look lineup right away.
For NBA 2K27, one of our goals for MyNBA was improving the core franchise experience by taking a grassroots approach. We prioritized community requests, such as including the effects of the second apron in the new CBA and adding the ability to offer No-Trade Clauses to free agents, among many other feature requests and new additions. We strive for authenticity in every facet of NBA 2K, which is why it was important to create a MyNBA experience that reflects today’s league.
We heard from the community that The City’s accessible and centralized layout from NBA 2K26 connected players to games faster, so we’ve decided to run it back—but with a new nighttime, neon aesthetic.
Our team focused its attention on key points of interest around The City, where players will notice multiple attention-grabbing new designs in The REC, Street Kings, Park, and more, each with its own distinct look.
The mecca of street basketball is coming to NBA 2K27. Rucker Park, the legendary New York City court has been recreated in-game, bringing the iconic culture, history, and swagger to Street Kings and this year’s packed MyCAREER prelude story: “Fire & Concrete.” Become a neighborhood hero and knock off Street Kings bosses on this special proving ground.
These exciting updates will be on full display—along with more, important additions—when we take the community on a full tour of The City during the Preseason Breakdown on August 18.
Tune in to our Game Reveal on August 18 to learn more about the most anticipated innovations and features in NBA 2K27. Grab your Crew and hit the courts in The City early by pre-ordering NBA 2K27 Deluxe Edition or Ultra Edition to receive up to 7 days of Early Access*, starting August 28.

The quest to become an NBA champion doesn’t start in the regular season—it starts in the offseason.
The early mornings in the weight room, long nights in the gym, and sleepless nights thinking about the Larry O’Brien trophy separate the greats from the best. With a new champion crowned, teams look to retool and regroup for next year’s title run. Superstars are on the move, and the basketball landscape is bracing for total transformation.
As the competition grows stronger, master your skills and become a dominant force like Season 8 hero Shaquille O’Neal, so you can impose your will when it matters most in The City*, MyCAREER, and MyTEAM.
Shaquille O’Neal announced his arrival to the NBA in a big way, commanding the Orlando Magic and the paint with an unprecedented combination of power and athleticism. In four years with the Magic, O’Neal shattered backboards and expectations, despite already being a highly-touted No. 1 overall pick. His punishing playstyle on the court and decorated resume cemented him as one of the best big men of all time.
During Season 8, make an immediate impact like O’Neal and overpower the competition in MyCAREER, as you continue your pursuit of GOAT status. Flex all-new rewards with your Crew and put in the work to reach Level 40.
Grab your friends and defend your title as the Park MVP at the Old Town courts from NBA 2K15.

Take control from inside the arc with Season 8’s mid-range specialist Community Builds. Attack the paint and use your playmaking to set up teammates, pick defenses apart as a Rim-Reaping Mid-Paint Creator, or use your size to cut through defenders as a sneaky athletic big man.

The first WNBA player to star on a cover of NBA 2K is Season 8’s Level 1 reward. Celebrate Parker’s historic career with the Level 1 G.O.A.T. Candace Parker card, scoring buckets with her wealth of experience as a two-time MVP and three-time WNBA Champion. Parker is also a former Defensive Player of the Year and averaged 1.5 blocks during her career. Make the most of Parker’s two-way skills as a rim protector and a pick-and-roll mismatch.
The No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft has established himself as the most tenacious defender on the gritty Orlando Magic, one of the NBA's elite defensive teams.

Hammon’s deployed a winning strategy to lead the Aces to a remarkable three WNBA championships in five years. Reach Level 28 and earn the Dark Matter Becky Hammon coach card.
‘J Crossover’ was a smooth assassin with the ball in his hands. The three-time Sixth Man of the Year made mid-range jumpshots look effortless, and he was a master at the art of separation. Capable of being a complementary piece or getting a bucket at will, Level 30 Invincible Jamal Crawford is an offensive weapon in any MyTEAM lineup
‘The Point God’ led the Los Angeles Clippers to new heights during his first six-year stint with the team. Paul completely changed the culture of the franchise with his winning mindset, Hall of Fame court vision, and defensive pride. Widely regarded as one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game, the Level 35 G.O.A.T. Chris Paul card is more than a difference maker on the court.
Shaquille O’Neal set the standard for Orlando Magic rookies during the 1992-1993 season, earning the first Rookie of the Year award in franchise history. Thirty years later, Paolo Banchero followed in O’Neal’s footsteps and took home the prestigious award after averaging 20 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. Banchero’s revived the Magic franchise, and Orlando’s young core looks to threaten the East’s royalty every year. Celebrate two Magic superstars during Season 8 and take the court with the Level 40 G.O.A.T. Paolo Banchero card.
Unlock 40 additional levels of NBA 2K26 rewards with the Season 8 Pro Pass and Hall of Fame Pass. These seasonal add-on passes are available for individual purchase and feature Automatic and Premium Rewards.

During the early 2000s, if a player was brave enough to drive the lane against the Detroit Pistons, they knew they were going to find four-time Defensive Player of the Year Ben Wallace waiting for them.

A legitimate candidate for this year’s Most Improved Player award, Dillon Brooks has stepped up as a scorer in the wake of Devin Booker’s injuries this season. Brooks’ tenacious, pesky defense is his calling card, but his development as a playmaker and shot creator for the Phoenix Suns has been noteworthy. Give your squad an edge and a chip on its shoulder with the Level 10 Galaxy Opal Dillon Brooks card.
Richard Jefferson carved out a successful 17-year NBA career as a versatile, athletic wing.

Complement your stars with the Level 20 Dark Matter Richard Jefferson card and add a veteran presence to your group.
Head Coach Mike D’Antoni helped revolutionize basketball into what it is today: fast-paced offense and a lot of three-point attempts. Over the years, D’Antoni’s high pick-and-roll scheme turned the Phoenix Suns, with Steve Nash and A’mare Stoudemire, and the New York Knicks, led by Carmelo Anthony, into some of the best offensive juggernauts we’ve seen in the past 20 years. Insert the Level 28 Dark Matter Mike D’Antoni card into your lineup and assemble a roster of shooters to execute his system to perfection.
Add one of the best rebounders in NBA history and a two-time, back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year winner to your lineup with the Level 30 Dark Matter Dennis Rodman card. Rodman’s size and physical brand of basketball help him cover any position on the court; blanket smaller guards with overpowering pressure or anchor the paint with lockdown defense in the post.
When you think of players who deserve to be on the WNBA Mount Rushmore, Lisa Leslie is a lock for one of the four spots.

Give your squad a championship pedigree and plenty of rim protection with the Level 35 100 OVR Lisa Leslie card.

This Season, we’re celebrating college basketball in NBA 2K26. While 2K is building the definitive basketball universe—uniting the NBA, WNBA, and soon the collegiate ranks under one banner—we’re bringing the campus energy to The City and MyTEAM by featuring 16 iconic universities and some of their biggest stars.
Season 5 features all-new content from UCLA, Duke, Arizona, Kansas, Texas, Michigan, Michigan State, Louisville, Purdue, Kentucky, Florida, UNC, Baylor, Houston, Ohio State, and UConn. Celebrate the next generation of players, starring Cameron Boozer and Lauren Betts, ready to carry the torch, while paying homage to the collegiate roots of superstars like Kevin Durant and Paige Bueckers, with a host of college-themed cosmetics and rewards.
Authentically representing the scale of college hoops is an ambitious project that begins with our foundational college basketball experience available in early 2027. We’ll have more details to share on that in the future, but for now, it’s time to get in the spirit and dive into everything Season 5 has to offer.
The NBA, WNBA, and 16 of college basketball’s most esteemed schools joining forces in MyTEAM is a historic moment. Season 5 will include select players from each school’s Men’s and Women’s team, all-new challenges, and special alumni-themed rewards.
The addition of current college stars to MyTEAM calls for celebration. To kickstart your MyTEAM experience during Season 5, we’re gifting players a College Celebration Box with 5 Free Agent Option Packs, allowing you to quickly collect and play with the sport’s leading playmakers. To access your College Celebration Box, visit the Market and it will be available for redemption.
Each pack in the College Celebration Box will contain a selection of current college players, allowing you to choose one card from each pack to build a starting 5. Each player card from the College Celebration Box will be eligible to use for five games, so choose wisely and get started creating one-of-a-kind lineups.
From Season 5’s tipoff through March 30, current college players will be spotlighted daily via Challenge Games. NBA 2K players will be tasked with defeating an all-time version of the reward players’ college team, and upon completion will be rewarded an Evolution 94 OVR Diamond version of the featured college player. Playing 5 games with the player will evolve them to a 96 OVR Pink Diamond, and completing the final stat-based requirements will unlock their 98 OVR Galaxy Opal version!
There are 41 evolution rewards for these current college stars available to earn, starting with Cam Boozer and Lauren Betts, providing plenty of incentive to keep your eye on the prize all Season long. The challenges will rotate through various MyTEAM formats, 3v3 Triple Threat, 5v5 Clutch Time, and Full Lineup games which will use collegiate-inspired rulesets.
This Season, we’re leaning into nostalgia with some blasts from the past, rolling out alumni-themed NBA and WNBA player cards from their college years. Starting with the launch of Season 5, you can collect players from all 16 featured schools, including former Blue Devils, Wildcats, Gators, Buckeyes, and more.
Jumpstart Season 5 with the Level 1 Diamond V.J. Edgecombe Evo card, and showcase the former Baylor product’s explosive athleticism in MyTEAM. Before he launched himself into NBA Rookie of the Year conversations, Edgecombe was a human highlight reel in college, where he put his high-flying skills and defensive prowess on display. Evolve this card into a Pink Diamond by completing Edgecombe’s college career-highs: 30 points in a game, 6 3-pointers in a game, and 7 assists in a game.
Bagley’s lone season as a Duke Blue Devil was a historic one. The versatile stretch forward became the third player in conference history to lead the league in scoring (21 ppg), rebounding (11.1 rpg), and field goal percentage (61.4%). Bagley’s exceptional rebounding and soft touch in the paint made him a walking double-double. Use the Level 10 Pink Diamond Marvin Bagley III card to roll to the basket or fade to the elbow for an easy pick-and-pop.
In 1997-1998, the college basketball world got its first taste of Jason Williams, aka ‘White Chocolate.’ At the University of Florida, Williams put on a show with creative no-look passes and one-handed dimes through the lane. His relentless pace and calculated decision-making often looked like controlled chaos, which made him a nightmare for opposing teams to defend. Add the Level 20 Galaxy Opal Jason Williams card to your lineup and dissect defenses with pinpoint passing and playmaking.
A true teacher of the game, Larry Brown taught his players to be masters of the fundamentals, instilling a dedication to the details. It’s because of this philosophy that Brown earned a championship pedigree, becoming the only coach in history to win a college championship and an NBA championship. Help your MyTEAM play the right way with the Level 28 Dark Matter Larry Brown Coach card.
An iconic member of UConn’s first national title, Richard ‘Rip’ Hamilton was a mid-range maestro whose smooth scoring led the Huskies offensively. ‘Rip’ antagonized defenses with his slippery off-ball movement, slithering through screens before catching a pass and knocking down an open mid-range shot. Use the Level 30 Dark Matter Richard Hamilton card in the half-court game to excel along the perimeter.
Historic, dominant, unstoppable. Breanna Stewart’s four years as a UConn Husky were the greatest stretch for any college basketball player in the history of the sport. She became the only player to win four consecutive championships and be named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player four times. Every facet of her game was undeniably great and translated to more success at the WNBA level.
Draymond Green has always been the Golden State Warriors’ x-factor. His high basketball IQ, vocal leadership, and position versatility were key in helping head coach Steve Kerr’s squad build a dynasty and raise the Larry O’Brien trophy four times. Give your MyTEAM a veteran presence with the Level 40 100 OVR Draymond Green card and put on a playmaking clinic with point guard and power forward eligibility at both ends of the floor.
In addition, reaching Level 2 of the Season rewards ladder will bolster your MyTEAM collection with more than 100 cards, consisting of Court cards, Uniform cards, with women’s versions, and logos from all 16 schools featured in Season 5.
Level up and earn XP to start claiming all-new content, and add MyCAREER rewards in the process.
The height of the college basketball season is around the corner, and you can show your fandom with throwback jerseys, gamerplates, and more. See how you can further personalize your MyPLAYER with content from 16 prestigious schools around the country.
Throwback jerseys are an essential piece in every wardrobe. They’re more than a symbol of your fandom. They’re a statement. They show you’re more than a ‘casual’ and flex your ball knowledge.
This Season, put The City on game with wearable college jerseys for your MyPLAYER, featuring UConn stars Paige Bueckers, Ray Allen and Kemba Walker, Arizona standouts Aaron Gordon and Richard Jefferson, Kentucky icons Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Anthony Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns, and many more. Other available jerseys feature current college stars, like Azzi Fudd, Jordan Pope, Caleb Foster, Grace VanSlooten, and more, actively chasing championship dreams across the country.
Show your colors and support these decorated programs on and off the court.
Give your MyCOURT a makeover with murals featuring UCLA, Duke, Arizona, Kansas, Texas, Michigan, Michigan State, Louisville, Purdue, Kentucky, Florida, UNC, Baylor, Houston, Ohio State, and UConn (one for every school in Season 5).
Each MyCOURT mural displays school branding, with colors and logos, to represent your team allegiance. Collect them all and earn more branded rewards by climbing the Season rewards ladder.
Get ready for game day with a bevy of MyCAREER rewards, including officially licensed mascot outfits to wear around The City. This Season gives you all of the essential gear to rep your squad. Season 5’s rewards ladder also includes Emote packages, 2XP coins, Badge Perks, and more.
Put the clamps on opposing MyPLAYERs with NBA builds that draw inspiration from some of the best defenders over the last 20 years. We’re talking about elite two-way players, capable of locking down franchise stars and prolific scorers at will, and getting buckets. From Jrue Holiday and Jalen Williams to Mikal Bridges and Ben Wallace, use these player templates, or experiment with one of the new Season 5 community builds.
Physicality meets precision in Season 5’s all-new batch of community builds. These builds are game-changers on the offensive end of the floor, featuring high-flying rim-runners with exceptional Driving Dunk attributes and lights-out 3-point shooting. These builds are difficult to stop when they have a full head of steam and will put anyone who stands in their way on a poster.

From stat-sheet stuffers to lockdown defenders, Season 4 of NBA 2K26 boasts a bevy of formidable MyTEAM cards to bolster your lineup. Collect a series of players from the modern era and leverage their various skills to dominate MyTEAM’s single-player and multiplayer modes.
Tyrese Maxey has evolved from a late first-round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft to the 2024 Most Improved Player of the Year, and now a legitimate All-Star. The 25-year-old guard is third in points per game with 31.5, trailing only Luka Dončić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Get buckets during Season 4 of NBA 2K26 with the Level 1 Amethyst Tyrese Maxey Evo card, and increase the card’s rating to a 94 OVR.
If Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were the Oklahoma City Thunder’s electrifying offense, Thabo Sefolosha was the booming defense. The early 2010s featured several great defenders at the guard position; Sefolosha was one of the many imposing defenders who could blanket a team’s primary scorer and render them a nonfactor. Add the Level 10 Diamond Thabo Sefolosha card to your MyTEAM and put the clamps on your competition.
A founding member of ‘Lob City,’ DeAndre Jordan was more than just a human highlight reel in his prime. During his glory days with the Los Angeles Clippers, Jordan could throw down top-10 worthy dunks, while protecting the rim, crashing the glass and out-rebounding the league’s most prominent bigs at the time. The Level 20 Pink Diamond DeAndre Jordan card can serve as your MyTEAM’s last line of defense and put your rivals on an unforgettable poster.
Tyronn Lue’s introduction to the NBA was learning from the great Phil Jackson as a member of the early 2000s Los Angeles Lakers dynasty, featuring Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. Lue went on to play 11 seasons in the NBA, before trading in his jersey for a clipboard. For the last 10 years, Lue has been a head coach and he’s responsible for leading the Cleveland Cavaliers’ to a historic 3-1 comeback in the 2016 NBA Finals. Lue’s championship experience as a player and as a coach make him an ideal candidate to lead your MyTEAM.
A three-time All-Star with two 30-point season averages to his name, Bradley Beal is a walking bucket. Whether he’s the focal point of your MyTEAM or in a complementary off-ball role, Beal is a three-level scorer who can get hot in a hurry. Add the Level 30 Galaxy Opal Bradley Beal card to your lineup and unleash prime Beal.
Reese is a double-double machine, posting back-to-back seasons with at least 13 points and 12 rebounds per game to start her WNBA career. The two-time All-Star isn’t afraid to get physical in the paint, which could make for a dominant one-two punch next to Level 20 Pink Diamond DeAndre Jordan. With these two anchoring your squad, opposing teams will struggle to grab a rebound.
The all-time leader in triple-doubles, Russell Westbrook excels in all facets of the game. Over the course of his 18 years in the NBA, Westbrook’s MVP-caliber play, jaw-dropping athleticism, and relentless effort continued to make him must-see TV. He is, without question, one of the greatest guards to ever play basketball, and with the Level 40 Dark Matter Russell Westbrook (99 OVR) card on your MyTEAM you’d give your lineup Hall of Fame prestige.
Here are some other available rewards during Season 4:
Level 7: ‘Cheater’ Game Changer Card x3
Level 15: 92+ OVR Pack Level 22: 'Gimme More' & ‘Chicken Dinner’ Game Changers x3 of each

The 2016 NBA Dunk Contest featured two of the greatest high-flyers in recent memory, Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine.

The 15-year veteran also thrived in the pick-and-roll, with the ability to hurt defenses from behind the arc or in the paint. Coupled with a rangy power forward, Dragić can shred even the best MyTEAM lineups.
The longest tenured player in Miami Heat history, Udonis Haslem earned a wealth of experience and displayed a high basketball IQ during his 20 seasons in the league. In his prime, the 6’8”, 235-pound forward was a menace on defense and on the glass. Haslem played with force and stayed rooted against his assignments in the post.

Let Level 35 Pink Diamond Courtney Vandersloot run the point for your MyTEAM squad and set your teammates up for success.
Eleven consecutive All-Star selections, two NBA championships, and more than 17,000 career points, Chris Bosh retired as one of the most prolific power forwards in the modern era. Bosh possessed a rare combination of speed, explosiveness, and finesse for a power forward.
