NBA 2k24 next gen park features two new playgrounds namely the Elite and Rise. The Next Gen Park has also introduced a new REP system.

As the game was released early in New Zealand on September 8, 2023, players are already loving these new settings. The Elite Park is situated in a contemporary urban location, while the Rise Park is nestled in a more natural environment.

Besides, there are several other features and a number of other modifications on the 25th installment in the NBA 2K franchise.

It is evident that fans will compare the new version to its successor NBA 2k23, and most of the improvements are positively received. 

However, players have expressed their sentiments regarding the removal of the body types feature in MyPlayer mode that was present in 2k23. This resulted in a loss of customization for gamers.

NBA 2k24 Review Embargo Date

The review embargo for NBA 2K24 was lifted on September 1, 2023, at 8:00 AM Pacific Time. Metacritic, IGN, and Steam all have their say about the game.

The game is scheduled to be released on September 8, 2023, so this gives reviewers about a week to play the game and write their reviews. This is a common practice for major games because it gives reviewers enough time to experience the game and provide an honest opinion.

However, so far only the rating for NBA 2k24 has dropped on Steam and it currently holds a subpar rating of 5/10.

Meanwhile, other popular reviewing websites have yet to give a verdict on the latest 2k NBA installment. Speaking of the fans they are more excited than ever to taste the new bad boy of gaming.
