Every year, the NBA 2K franchise tries to churn out new content to keep fans engaged and wanting more in upcoming editions, and NBA 2K23 is no different. The push for development has led to advancements in the popular MyCareer mode, where players get the chance to embark on their quest to become the simulated Greatest of All Time. For the past few years though, some less popular modes have seen very little attention from 2K Sports, leaving fans wondering why these modes were even being added to the game anymore. In the latest edition of the franchise, NBA 2K23, the franchise is out to change that. Fans are now being treated to exciting improvements to the MyNBA mode.

NBA 2K, like most sports games, has largely only been interested in the future of sports. The game's main attraction has always been to try to simulate the career paths of young NBA prospects. In this new edition, 2K Sports has introduced something new. For the first time, players can go back in time and play out different scenarios. Fans can directly influence the game's history by altering some of the biggest «What-Ifs» in basketball, along with reliving the glory days of NBA legends. And this is not just in the form of classic teams like the 1996 Bulls or 2008 Redeem Team that fans are already used to, either. This mode allows players to use every franchise available in the game to create their simulated history.
