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.
