NBA 2K23 ‘Reinforcements’ Explained

Reinforcements is a fun new 3v3 mode in the Theater that lets users choose 2 CPU teammates and face off against another player and their 2 CPU teammates to go along with their MyPLAYERS.

NBA 2K23 ‘Reinforcements’ Tips

Choose a roster that complements your MyPLAYER. For example, if you have a paint beast MyPLAYER like Shaq, you could surround him with knock-down three-point shooters in case the opponent double teams in the paint, and so on.
Don’t forget about defense, choose 2-way CPU players where possible
Call a screen to force switches
Try to have good spacing
Look for favorable matchups
Trust the CPU teammates – depending on the teammate, their strengths, and how well they’re doing in the game
This mode is great for grinding for badges because you get to dictate the gameplay more since it’s CPU teammates
