The “Neighborhood” idea has been on NBA 2KW’s NBA 2K Wishlist for some time, gaining several votes along the way — further proof of the NBA 2K Community’s ideas at work and that 2K listens to their fans, by implementing it in NBA 2K18! Props to the 2K Devs for putting in a new mode that is a 100% GAME CHANGER for sports videogames.
