Becoming a starter for your MyCAREER team in NBA 2K23 is a straight-forward process of completing Quests, but will take some time to get through, i.e. skipping through cutscenes, playing in NBA games putting up stats, and traveling back and forth between key locations in The City. Once a starter, it becomes easier and faster to grind your MyPLAYER, earn badges, etc.
The way how to become a starter in NBA 2K23 is to complete the ‘Welcome to the League’ Quest (which contains two Quests within it – ‘Handle Your Business’ and “Control the Narrative’). Below, we outline all the steps in these Quests to go through in order to earn a spot in the starting lineup. Also one of the cool rewards of completing the “‘Welcome to League’ Quest is you get a +4 Badge Points upgrade towards any badge category for your MyPLAYER.
