NBA 2K18 Neighborhood Guide – Everything to Know
NBA 2K18 is finally out and that means it is time to dive into MyCAREER. One of the new changes to MyCAREER is the new social space called Neighborhood. In the Neighborhood you will find other MyPLAYERS, NBA players, shops, and a lot more. In order to help you better navigate the Neighborhood, I have put together this post. Check out NBA 2K18 Neighborhood guide below.
Check out our guide to NBA 2K19 Neighborhood.
G Training Facility
Where is it?: Directly beside the Team Training Facility
What is it?: Like the name suggests, the G Training facility is the place to come in order to increase your level cap. Like the training gym in NBA 2K17, you will find a number of exercises inside the center:
- Leg Press
- Clean Weight
- Squats
- Ladders
- Agility Hurdles
- Battle Ropes
- Bench Press
- Box Jump
- Sprint
- Treadmill
- Dumbbell
- Medicine Ball
- Gatorade Reaction
If you are not interested in working out, you can head to the the Gatorade Fuel Bar where you can use VC to buy consumables that give you increased Turbo.
Team Training Facility
Where is it?: Behind a statue at the end of the street
What is it?: The Team Practice Facility works a little different then it did last year, as you can now work directly on the badges you are interested in earning. Select certain drills nets you points which are then applied to badges you wish to unlock or make better.
Besides doing drills, you can also free shoot, but there appears to be no benefits to doing this besides practicing shot release.
MyCOURT High – Rise
Where is it?: When leaving the Team Practice Facility it is on your right (across from the theatre)
What is it?: The MyCOURT High – Rise acts very similar to the warehouse in NBA 2K17. Inside the MyCOURT you will find a full size court, a closet (for changing clothing), and a large TV to watch NBA 2K18 TV on. That’s about all there is inside the MyCOURT High – Rise.
The Venue
Where is it?: Directly across from your MyCOURT
What is it?: The Venue is where you will find different themed game modes (depending on the week). Sometimes there will be wager modes while other times House Rules and so on.
Dunk Off Court
Where is it?: Neighbors the right side of The Venue (when facing it)
What is it?: Throughout the Neighborhood there are a collection of mini game courts. The one closest to your apartment is the dunk off court. Here you have 30 seconds to make as many crazy dunks as you possibly can. If you get a high score of the day, it goes up on the scoreboard.
VC Sports Management
Where is it?: Across from the dunk off court (right as soon as you leave MyCOURT High – Rise)
What is it?: This is the office of your agent. Your agent manages things like endorsements. After you play your first NBA game, your agent will start offering you sponsorship deals. The office is only visitable when your agents messages you to come see him. Besides these events, it remains closed.
T Shirt Kiosk
Where is it?: Near the Dunk Off Court you will see the T Shirt Kiosk (in front of the Pro – Am Team Arena)
What is it?: The T-shirt Kiosk allows you to create and vote on custom t-shirts. To create and buy T – Shirts, you must be at least overall 80.
Pro – Am Team Arena
Where is it?: Across from the NBA Store (Beige brick building)
What is it?: This is the Pro – Am Team Arena. Here you can start a Pro – Am Team as well as play other teams.
King of The Court
Where is it?: Head past the Pro – Am arena and make your way to the streets dead end. On the right you will see the court.
What is it?: Another mini – game. This time you play one on one to see who can reign as The King of The Court.

You must be online I had the same issue and when I connected to WiFi it was perfect
If you are not connected to PlayStation plus or Xbox live, the Neighborhood isn’t available. I had the same problem until I got PlayStation plus
That means you don’t have PS Plus or online equivalent. You need to get that
How do I play my first game
Thank you for this guide. I got dizzy running around the neighborhood trying to find mycourt to change my shirt objective. Can’t believe they didn’t include a navigation or map and just expect us to know where everything is. Mycareer mode’s neighborhood is trash in 2k18. What a waste of time running around and around. This is a basketball game yet they are pushing it to be an RPG.
Thanks for reading! I wouldn’t mind the mode if it felt like it was more than just a reimagined menu 🙁
How do you get access to the recording studio
Not sure yet. I’ve seen people saying it triggers after like 15 games, but I haven’t received an invitation yet and I’m like 20+ games in.
After like 50 games
The recording studio is hidden in an alley by Foot locker
Where do I get the t-shirts with Gatorade or Mountain Dew on them for my endorsments?
All clothing items end up in your closet in your MyCOURT
i cant find the gatorade and mountain dew shirts too, they are not in the closet in MYCOURT
Thanks for setting it straight. Thought it worked like shoes.
you can find them in swags under premium clothes
Thanks for the reply!
Aston- u go to Swags- go to premium clothes- T-shirt’s- and its at the very bottom
what about the recording studio? where is that?
The Recording Studio is located in the alley on the right of the Foot Locker. Look for a door in the alley which leads to the Recording Studio. Guide has been update!
I had no idea that NBA2k has been making such a push to provide so many other things to do in the game… that and encourage microtransactions.
