Can I still play MyTEAM 2K23?

Published in NBA 2K23 Online Status 2 mins read

Unfortunately, no, you can no longer play MyTEAM in NBA 2K23.

Understanding the Server Sunset

2K Games typically phases out online support for older titles to focus resources on newer releases. For NBA 2K23, this meant a "server sunset," which permanently disconnected the game's online functionalities. This crucial event directly impacts modes like MyTEAM, which rely heavily on active servers for gameplay, progression, and content updates.

What Game Modes Are Affected?

The server shutdown has a significant impact on the online components of NBA 2K23. Here's a breakdown of what's no longer accessible:

  • MyTEAM: This mode, where players collect cards to build their ultimate fantasy team, is entirely reliant on online servers and is no longer available.
  • MyCAREER: While you might be able to access some offline elements if you already own the game, the online progression and connectivity aspects of MyCAREER are discontinued.
  • Multiplayer Games: Any mode that requires connecting with other players online, such as head-to-head matches or online tournaments, is no longer supported.
  • Virtual Currency (VC): Earning or spending Virtual Currency, which is essential for many in-game purchases and progression in online modes, is no longer possible.

What Can You Still Play?

For those who already own NBA 2K23, some content remains accessible, primarily the offline modes. If the game is already installed, or if you redownload it, you can typically still enjoy:

  • Offline Modes: This includes modes like Play Now (offline exhibition matches), MyNBA (offline franchise mode), and possibly some aspects of MyCAREER that do not require an internet connection for progression.
  • Local Play: You can still play local multiplayer games with friends on the same console.

To clarify the availability of modes, consider the following table:

Game Mode / Feature Availability Post-Server Sunset
MyTEAM Unavailable
MyCAREER (online) Unavailable
Multiplayer Games Unavailable
Earning/Spending VC Unavailable
Offline Modes Available
Local Play Available

This server sunset is a standard practice for many sports titles and signifies the end of online support for that particular game iteration.
