2K have announced another new mode for NBA 2K23, called MyNBA Era and with it players will be able to reshape events from the history of the NBA, at least if you have the PC, Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5 version of the game.

Either on your own, or with a mate, you can take over a career in progress, the catch is that the career is that of a legend of the game, during iconic moments of their career and then you can relieve the victory or rewrite history.

“This is a banner year for MyNBA, and our team is incredibly excited for fans of the game mode to explore the changes that have been in the making for over a decade,” said Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at 2K and Visual Concepts. “MyNBA Eras takes the in-depth MyNBA experience of years past and plugs it into some of the most iconic periods of the NBA, allowing players to explore endless ‘what if?’ scenarios in the most authentic way possible.”

There are multiple Era’s to playthrough, with each having received a variety of updates to recreate the atmosphere of the times. Every team has at least one unique court along with unique uniforms.

The same filter system that is used in the Jordan Challenge series, has been included here as well, so you can get the authentic look of the broadcast of the game, during that time. Plus every expansion team and franchise relocation is accounted for in-game. Here are some of the Era’s that you can experience: 

• The Magic Vs Bird Era: Starting in 1983, players will find themselves in the heat of the Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird rivalry that took over the league. Fans can rewrite 1980’s NBA history while they compete to draft the likes of Michael Jordan, Akeem Olajuwon, or any of the other NBA legends who were drafted in that legendary decade;

• The Jordan Era: Beginning in 1991, The Jordan Era puts players right at the beginning of Jordan’s dominant run with the Chicago Bulls. They will battle with Isiah Thomas’ “Bad Boys” Detroit Pistons, John Stockton and Karl Malone, Olajuwon’s Houston Rockets, and Patrick Ewing’s New York Knicks for a chance to claim 1990’s basketball supremacy;

• The Kobe Era: The Kobe Bryant era takes fans back to 2002, where a new generation of talent had emerged in the West, including Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs, Kevin Garnett and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks, and of course, the Black Mamba himself, Kobe Bryant. In addition to competing against the legends of this era, players will also be fighting for draft position in anticipation of the legendary 2003 draft class;

• The Modern Era: The previous MyNBA experience is now dubbed the Modern Era. Longtime fans of the mode can continue to start with the most up-to-date rosters available and enjoy the traditional MyNBA experience.
