NBA 2K18 looks like it’s going to be one of the better 2K games in years. With improvements made to most game modes, most notably the MyGM and MyTEAM modes. Another change to the game will be the bringing in of recently retired players Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant – in a non-player role (they’ll be in there as players too). EB Games of Australia has learned that Garnett and Bryant will be rotating guest broadcasters:

The biggest roster of broadcasting talent in sports videogame history gets even bigger. Legends Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett join the booth on a rotating basis to lend their expertise to the broadcast.

This news will likely be announced during 2K’s “Run the Neighborhood” event, which will be globally broadcast via Facebook on Aug. 31 at 3:30 ET.

EB Games also added in a few more nuggets about other more game modes:

MyPLAYER. Build your career in NBA games, hit the courts in the Playground or join the Pro-Am circuit. Featuring new MyPLAYER upgrade and endorsement systems and so much more.

MyTEAM. Collect and compete with player cards featuring NBA legends from yesterday and today. Construct a salary-capped team for the all-new Super Max season mode, or draft cards for a 5v5 tournament in the new Pack & Playoffs mode.

ELITE GAMEPLAY. The new motion system engine brings player control to a new level of realism. Now, dribbling and off the ball movement are no longer driven by animations. This groundbreaking technology dynamically creates animations to deliver the best gameplay experience possible. You are now in complete control.
