00:08What's up y'all? Tyrese Halliburton here with Eric from NBA2K to guide you through this year's
00:13Citi. The Citi in NBA2K26 is driven by hoops with a more accessible and competitive layout
00:19to keep you on the court more often. Now let's get to it.
00:27In NBA2K26, the Citi is even more accessible and convenient, making it easier to visit
00:32points of interest and, most importantly, get on the court faster. The first thing you'll
00:36notice when entering the Citi is how buttery smooth and fluid the movement and camera panning
00:40feels. For the first time, we are now running at 60 frames per second citywide on the PlayStation
00:455 and Xbox Series S and X consoles. Based entirely on community feedback, the Citi also received
00:52new lighting improvements including a fixed time of day that will reduce harsh shadows
00:56and sunlight when playing games outdoors in places like the park. This year, the Citi features
01:01an open-air plaza with a Gatorade training facility, event center, arena, and other locations all
01:06within walking distance. The theater, rec, proving grounds, swags, and more line the perimeter
01:12of the Citi making it easy to go door-to-door to play in all of the refreshed lobbies, courts,
01:17and arenas. Not only is it easier and faster to get on the court, but with the new swap
01:22build feature, you no longer need to leave the city in order to swap between your MyPlayers.
01:26Seamlessly change to another build best suited to what your squad needs, right on the spot.
01:31NBA 2K26 builds on 2K25's goal of a more intimate and accessible world. You can see just about
01:37every area in the city no matter where you are standing and very quickly go from one place
01:41to another.
01:46Long a defining feature of NBA 2K, parks are back in NBA 2K26 with bold new features,
01:51to make every season and even every day a new experience. Parks in NBA 2K26 have been
01:57designed with a more natural and grounded feel for a more realistic aesthetic. Typical
02:01of what you'd see in a real-life environment. Access the park in 2K26 by entering the giant
02:06rotating basketball that not only serves as the centerpiece of the city, but also as your
02:10gateway to a new location featuring stunning courts. Every six weeks at the start of a new season,
02:15a different park environment will be introduced. Along with a number of new original designs,
02:20you will also find yourself playing in complete HD remasters of all of our iconic NBA 2K16 parks.
02:26Season 1's park is a brand new locale called Skyline Park. Set in a magnificent urban environment,
02:32Skyline Park captures the essence of hooping and competing on your favorite neighborhood courts.
02:36Team up with your friends and visit the park to start competing for bragging rights and big rewards.
02:45To support our complete redesign of parks, we've also added park MVPs, streak setters and streak breakers
02:51to make things a little more interesting and a lot more competitive.
02:54Park MVPs, the top rep player in each park, will be marked with a park MVP icon, visible above their
03:00head
03:00and also in the bird's eye view of the court so that you can easily spot where they are playing.
03:04Playing against the park MVP can be a very rewarding experience.
03:07If you can defeat the park MVP, you'll earn 5x rep and 5x VC for that game.
03:12The park MVP bonus is earnable every three hours, so get out there and chase them down.
03:17Streak Setters, etch your greatness in the park by setting the longest win streak for a court in the current
03:22season.
03:22The players with the longest streak on each court will have their names spotlighted right on the court for all
03:27to see.
03:27On the flip side, the all-new streak breakers feature will reward you with VC for ending another team's active
03:33win streak.
03:33The longer your opponent's streak, the more VC you'll earn for snapping it.
03:37There's no limit to how many streak breaker bonuses you can earn in a day, so get out there and
03:41chase those big streaks.
03:42Lastly, all park games in NBA 2K26 will give you a 25% rep bonus all year long for all
03:49games played.
03:50Come celebrate the revamped park experience with us, and we'll see you out there.
03:57In NBA 2K26, we've replaced affiliations in favor of a more custom, community-driven approach with an all-new feature
04:04called Crews.
04:05Crews is a feature where you can team up with your friends and community members to earn great rewards.
04:10Simply play games or work with your crew to complete weekly goals that help you rise through the ranks of
04:15all 30 crew levels, earning rewards in the process.
04:17You can unlock custom-branded crew clothing featuring your own uploaded crew logo, VC and rep bonuses, unlimited boosts, max
04:25plus one badge perks, and yes, even cap breakers.
04:28Crews can be exclusive to you and your friends if you want, or you can grow your crew to a
04:32maximum of 50 players.
04:34Crews offer flexibility and a creative outlet for everyone.
04:37Your gamer plate will allow others to see which crew you are representing, your crew logo, and your crew level
04:41to show off your progress.
04:42Gather your crew and keep an eye on the crew leaderboard to see who is truly running the city.
04:51Challenges are a new feature in NBA 2K26 that offer a great way to both learn what the city has
04:56to offer as well as, well, challenge you to see what heights you can reach.
05:00Complete beginner, daily, seasonal, and lifetime challenges to earn VC, rep bonuses, exclusive cosmetics you can't get anywhere else, and
05:07yes, cap breakers.
05:09All you have to do is play, and the rewards will start flowing your way as you rack up stats
05:13and wins.
05:18Keeping the competitive theme going, we've added leaderboards all around the city so everyone can keep an eye on where
05:23they rank.
05:24In 2K26, there are new types of leaderboards to track your accomplishments.
05:28These include modes, geo-rank, and crews.
05:31Mode leaderboards focus on the players with the most wins in the park, theater, the rec, proving grounds, starting five,
05:37and ante-up.
05:38You can also view your own rank on these leaderboards to see how well you measure up against the competition.
05:43These leaderboards are updated daily, and the number one ranked player in each mode will have a giant 12-foot
05:48statue of their MyPlayer built right outside of that mode's building.
05:51Geo-rank leaderboards celebrate the most victorious players across the globe and allow you to filter by different geographical regions,
05:58including all 50 U.S. states.
05:59If you are one of the top players in any region of the world, you will get a custom show
06:03-off flair shown during your pre-game intros.
06:05If you are the number 23 player in California or the number 7 player in France, everyone is going to
06:11know your name.
06:11So get out there and rep your home.
