Boulevard of Stars
Centrally located in The City is the Boulevard of Stars, an upscale street that provides easy access to all game modes and shops featuring iconic global brands. This area also includes a Walk of Fame, showcasing every NBA championship team, with spots left open for players to fill with their own MyCAREER championships.
Proving Grounds
Proving Grounds is the new competitive hub in The City, designed for ranked play. This colosseum-inspired arena hosts intense 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 games with comp-level difficulty sliders and Shot Meters turned off for everyone. Players can earn the best REP in The City and move up through five tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.
Return of MyCOURT and MyPARK
Fan-favorite features like MyCOURT and MyPARK are making a comeback. MyCOURT offers a private hub for players to practice and invite friends for various games like 1v1 and HORSE. MyPARK, along with new parks for the ELITE vs. RISE rivalry, provides a nostalgic yet refreshed experience.
