With launch just hours away, NBA 2K23 Season 1 details have officially been revealed including rewards, this year's schedule, and more.
NBA 2K23 Season 1 MyCAREER details revealed
We're just hours away from the launch of NBA 2K23 and Season 1 will bring the first major content drop of the year.
Ahead of launch, 2K have revealed tons of details about what Season 1 will bring to the various game modes with their latest Courtside Report.
Kicking things off we have MyCAREER in The City on new gen platforms (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) with a top prize on the agenda.

As you work your way up, the Level 40 reward in The City will be a four-seater Golf Cart that you and your friends can all use while getting around The City.
While the full reward track wasn't unveiled, we know that Skill Boosts, Emote Packs, Banners, and more will be among the rewards on your road to Level 40.
Current Gen Quests & NPC Interactions in MyCAREER
As you head to the GOAT Boat on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, NBA 2K23 has got a new optimized vessel with wider lanes, fast travel Elevators, and "Showers" to change servers.
The Quest system has gotten some upgrades with more varied options, all-new dialogue, and higher authenticity across the board.
You'll need to interact with NPCs in order to receive quests rather than getting them automatically assigned via the Quest Journal, and NPC AI Rival Quests pit you against NPCs with an established storyline.
Rival Quests build up towards an ultimate 1v1 matchup with the NPCs encountered throughout MyCAREER.
If you reach Level 40 on Current Gen in Season 1, you'll earn a Hoverbike to use while speeding around the GOAT Boat.
MyTEAM Season 1 Rewards
Moving away from MyCAREER and onto MyTEAM, things first start with the debut of Triple Threat Online Co-Op allowing players to link up on the same platform for Co-Op 3v3 online games in Party, Co-Op, or Competitive modes.
Players will be able to earn Diamond Shoe Colorways, and there's an exclusive Hall of Fame Option Pack up for grabs if you snag 250 wins in Season 1.
With the MyTEAM card library looking more expansive than ever, things will kickoff with a Giannis Antetokounmpo as the Level 1 reward this season.
Players will work their way towards Level 40 where a Pink Diamond Scottie Pippen (96 OVR - SF/PF) will be up for grabs.
There will be a new Volume of cards every two weeks with "Select" versions of cards included at times, and Season 1 will feature eight collections with Amethyst and Diamond Collection Complete rewards.
Kevin Love and Chris Mullin will be among those first collection rewards, and you'll be able to earn Takeover Diamond Lamar Odom through several different paths.
Working through Domination, you can earn Amethyst Julius Randle, Daimond Mike Bibby, Diamond Bill Walton, Diamond Mitch Richmond, and Pink Diamond John Havlicek.
The Trophy Case will be your path to Galaxy Opal and Dark Matter with tons of rewards along the way to earning a Dark Matter Larry Bird.
There will also be a MyTEAM Signature Challenge focused on cover star Michael Jordan as you go up against Jordan, Magic Johnson, Scottie Pippen, James Worthy, and Hakeem Olajuwon to earn a Daimond Jordan Shoe Colorway, shoe boosts, and a Hall of Fame Badge.
Finally, there are over 75 reward levels for collector rewards as you rise through the ranks, and starting off collecting 30 player cards earns Big Diesel, a Sapphire Shaquille O'Neal for your MyTEAM collection.
