2K revealed brand new features coming to NBA 2K23's MyTEAM mode as anticipation for the upcoming basketball video game.
“We’ve implemented a number of highly requested changes to MyTEAM this year that were top of mind for our community, including the removal of contracts, along with the addition of Triple Threat Online: Co-Op that allows players to team up with friends for the first time ever to test their skills in Co-Op 3v3 online gameplay”, Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at 2K and Visual Concepts, said in a press release.
At the top of the Courtside Report, one change that will excite players is that Contracts are being removed from the game. "Contracts have been removed from MyTEAM! Permanent player cards are now yours to use as you please throughout MyTEAM without needing to fill up their contracts. Nothing has replaced contracts, they are simply gone."
