NBA 2K27 will introduce a new MyCAREER feature called MyCAREER Eras,
allowing players to place their created MyPLAYER into some of the
defining periods of NBA history and compete alongside or against
legendary players. The feature was revealed in a new promotional video, which shows players choosing different historical eras and attempting to change outcomes involving some of the league's biggest stars and
dynasties.
🏀 Rewrite NBA history with your MyPLAYER
For the first time in MyCAREER, players can step beyond the modern NBA and build their careers across five iconic historical eras. Built on the foundation of MyNBA Eras, the new feature allows players to insert their MyPLAYER into the exact periods and moments that shaped basketball history.
Each era features its own historically accurate rosters, rules, league structure, gameplay, and presentation. Players can begin their journey in The Magic vs. Bird Era (1984), The Jordan Era (1991), The Kobe Era (2003), The LeBron Era (2010), or The Steph Era (2016).
Rosters are locked to their historical periods, with rookies joining the correct teams and major trades unfolding as they did in real life. Star players also remain with their original teams throughout their careers. For example, players who choose to play alongside Kobe Bryant will find him with the Los Angeles Lakers throughout his era until his retirement.
⭐ Era-Specific Presentation and Moments
Each era also comes with its own visual identity designed to recreate the atmosphere of its respective period. Locker rooms, HUDs, score bugs, stat overlays, and broadcast filters have all been tailored to match the era, with older periods featuring details such as wooden lockers, metal chairs, and CRT televisions.
Progression in MyCAREER Eras is built around Eras Moments, a series of objectives inspired by the defining achievements of each period. Players can chase historic scoring records, produce major winning streaks, and recreate milestones that shaped NBA history.
Completing these objectives advances players through a 40-level reward track featuring exclusive cosmetics, while also providing historical context for the milestones they are attempting to recreate.
