Seasons

A big hit of last year's edition were the excursions you could take all over the world. Well, in NBA 2K23, they're bringing it back and with an extra flair and plenty of all-new locations over international waters. While the destinations have not yet been revealed, fans can expect a new excursion and event on deck for each season.

In addition, NBA 2K23 introduces numerous new cosmetic updates and new themed track designs and logos for 5v5, 3v3, and 2v2.

Quests

Quests return to NBA 2K23 and with a new twist. In NBA 2K22's Cancha Del Mar, you could start different missions with certain NPCs around the cruise ship, something that would appear in your mission journal.

This year, however, you'll need to interact with the NPC to begin the quests, and to add to their previous collection of quest options (daily, weekly, and seasonal), NBA 2K23 introduces Rival Quests. Just like it sounds, each rival quest has its own storyline that gives you the chance to take on the NCP rival and enjoy an authentic dialogue experience.

Much has been introduced in the online neighborhood of cruise ships from last year. But to get a better idea of ​​what NBA 2K23 is built on, let's take a look at the key features added to last year's installment of the franchise.

MyCOURT

MyCOURT was a really cool feature that gave fans the chance to build and customize their own court. From colorful murals, different court styles, and a ton of scoreboards to choose from, MyCOURT was a great way to build your own personal court that could be a place for you to improve while still being creative.

Season excursions

Arguably the coolest new feature of last year's Cancha Del Mar was the ability to travel to different places around the world and visit scenic courts for a field trip. By taking these excursions, you had the chance to earn special rewards and unique experiences that enhanced your MyPLAYER progression.

Well, lo and behold, NBA 2K23 brings that back in their new G.O.A.T. Boat neighborhood function with just so much more.

Game modes and rewards

A nice part of the neighborhood in NBA 2K22 was the layout of the game modes and the rewards you could get for doing simple things. Each game mode was on a particular deck of the boat whether it was 3v3s, 2v2s or ProAm. This allowed for a plethora of different games for players to try out and explore. And to the delight of many, NBA 2K23 will once again do the same.

Plus, the rewards you could earn provided a nice boost to your experience. Aside from the Daily Spin or Daily Pick Em rewards, you can also win prizes twice per season by visiting onboard restaurants. The two-for-one advantage of feeding your player while getting a reward made for a simple but fun way to progress your player.
