All new features in NBA 2K23’s "The W"

This season, NBA 2K23 places a greater emphasis on community challenges. Each season has six weekly goals that can only be achieved as a community. If the community completes four out of the six weekly goals, each player will receive a prize.

Speaking of rewards, The W is getting loads of new ones, such as WNBA jerseys, logos and Coach MyTEAM cards. On new-gen consoles, The W and The City allows players to show off their jerseys, brand-new historic gear, and more.

In addition to community goals, the mode will include individual goals. Players who devote a significant amount of time and effort to the community challenges earn Game Changer status. Game Changers will be granted exclusive access to rewards like Team Takeover Boost. They will also have the ability to grant Player Boosts in The W online.

Players will encounter challenges as they move through the mode and make contacts. These challenges may be tailored to a particular game or long-term statistical objectives. Upon completing these increasingly difficult challenges, players will receive player boosts and historic contacts.

MyPLAYER will have the opportunity to join the All-Star team and take part in the All-Star game for the first time ever in The W. In a prestigious exhibition of top basketball talent, players will be able to showcase their abilities in front of adoring spectators.

Another recent development is the Commissioner's Cup competition, which wraps up in the crucial final Cup game.

Last but not least, The W has given us the chance to grow and develop the league's future. Players can access two expansion team slots once their League Popularity score reaches the maximum level of 10.

With this new feature, players can choose the city, construct the arena, design the logo, and even pick the jerseys for these two new teams.
