The new MyNBA mode includes automatic team relocation's such as the Kansas City Kings moving to Sacramento, the Vancouver Grizzlies move to Memphis and the Seattle SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City, however the user can veto these moves. The "eras" mode features fully rendered arenas, logos, and jerseys from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, complete historic rosters as well as the draft classes that were previously available in previous NBA 2K games. The mode also includes television filters and broadcast packages that emulate appropriate TV broadcast styles for the specific era the user starts in with the 90s broadcasts package being similar to the NBA on NBC package used early in 90s, and the 2000s broadcast package is similar to ESPN broadcasts used in the early 2000s. The 1980s and 90s broadcast packages are also used in the Jordan Challenge mode. In addition to the NBA eras, with them came historical rule changes that allows you to change or add new rules impacting gameplay in the NBA eras, you are able to change or add historical rules during the off-season of the simulation.[6]
