How to use it

Choose a mode to match the kind of basketball session you want. In MyCAREER, create a MyPLAYER and follow a legacy-focused story, facing challenges on the way to becoming one of the sport’s greats. It gives you a clear path when you want your play to center on a single created athlete and their place in NBA history.

For a more social approach, take your MyPLAYER into The City, team up with friends as a Crew, and compete at The REC, Park, and other courts. ProPLAY’s lifelike animations draw on real NBA action, while its features support crossovers, shooting mechanics, and different ways to take on a defender. The result is a game built around expressing your style through on-court decisions, rather than only managing a roster from the sidelines.

MyTEAM shifts the focus to collecting NBA and WNBA stars and assembling a fantasy lineup. Build combinations from your collection, then test your squad in single-player or multiplayer modes. If you prefer to jump into a game or play offline, Play Now, MyNBA, and The W are available without an internet connection. Moving between these modes makes it easier to choose a session based on whether you want a career story, team building, social play, or an offline basketball game.

Buying verdict

NBA 2K27 brings career progression, roster building, social courts, and offline modes together in one Xbox Series X basketball game. It suits you if you want choices beyond a single match type: develop a MyPLAYER, compete with friends, collect NBA and WNBA talent, or head into an available offline mode. The combination of ProPLAY animations and distinct ways to play makes it a practical fit for players who want to alternate between individual goals, squad-building, and basketball sessions with others.
