NBA 2K21 2K Beach: New Neighborhood Explained

NBA 2K21 2K Beach is this year's reimagining of MyCareer's Neighborhood.

2K has finally released a trailer for NBA 2K21's new MyCareer mode. As predicted, it doesn't appear that much has changed with the mode itself. Your player will have to grind his way from college into the NBA and, yet again, is assigned a random nickname (this time it's "Junior"). NBA 2K21's MyCareer will again feature some acclaimed actors, this time with performances by Michael Kenneth Williams (The Wire, The Night Of) and Djimon Hounsou (Captain Marvel, Blood Diamond).

Despite these MyCareer mainstays, 2K has reinvented The Neighborhood into 2K Beach.

Don't get too excited, it seems like 2K Beach is mostly just a reskin of the tried-and-true Neighborhood formula. The Park returns but this time on the sand. It appears that all the familiar stores are back, including Wheels, where players can spend exorbitant amounts of VC on vehicles to ride around 2K Beach.

There are a few new additions shown in the trailer. For one, it appears that Pro-Am games now take place on a rooftop. Jeff's 2K Arcade is a new venue, where players are shown shooting arcade hoops.

NBA 2K21 launches for PS4 and Xbox One on Sept. 4.
