MyNBA LEGACY GAME GUIDE

MyNBA Legacy is a new way to play in NBA 2K27.

To begin, start in MyNBA and select MyNBA Legacy. Then, choose any NBA player in the Modern Era to be your legend.

There is no restriction on who you can choose, so you’ll be able to pick either a modern superstar or a player at the end of the bench! 

Keep their current rating and Badges, or turn them back into their rookie selves.

Instead of standard rating increases, you earn experience by hitting per-game stat goals, securing season awards (such as MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, or Rookie of the Year), making deep playoff runs, and chasing down all-time career statistical records. Complete statistical milestones by playing, simulating games, or a combination of both.

You control the front office as the GM, but when you play a game, your player locks to your Legend. Earn XP by hitting statistical milestones, winning awards like MVP, making deep playoff runs, and climbing the record books.

Then, use that XP to upgrade your Badge Tiers and unlock Performance Points. 

BADGE TIERS

With each level of Badge Tier, you’ll unlock numerous upgraded badges. As an example, Tier 14 is the Legend tier with 1 Legend, 5 Hall of Fame, 12 Gold, 8 Silver and 8 Bronze badges. Tiering up to 15, G.O.A.T. instead gives you 3 Legend, 7 Hall of Fame, 10 Gold, 10 Silver and 10 Bronze badges. Each of these can be freely swapped, changed, and upgraded—leaving ample room for experimentation.

PERFORMANCE POINTS

XP converts to Performance Points in a ratio of 1:1. Use Performance Points to buy Training Camps, which permanently increase specific attributes like Outside Shooting, Playmaking, or Perimeter Defense. Additionally, Performance Points can also be used to gain special Bonus Abilities that can either improve your play on the court or give additional benefits to your legacy.

When your legend's career eventually comes to an end, the journey doesn't stop. You can choose to pass along your legacy to your player’s child. Through a stacking progression system, future generations inherit a portion of their parent's starting badges, training camp bonuses, and special abilities. 

Whether you play for one franchise or several over the course of your career, if you win championships, your descendants will start their careers with massive permanent bonus points, giving them an unprecedented head start on their own path to basketball immortality.

In NBA 2K27, a player can play for a maximum of 25 years, and the expanded playable franchise length is 100 years. In MyNBA Legacy, players can retire and move on to their son’s career, meaning you can play four 25-year careers, or five 20-year careers. 

The ultimate goal over this period of time is reaching tier 30, Eternal G.O.A.T. Though difficult to attain with just one player, this is when your family name becomes immortal and your player reaches peak performance. Every equipped and unlocked Badge becomes Legend Tier—and you reach the endgame milestone of MyNBA Legacy’s 100-year franchise lineage mode. At this point, all specialized attributes and performance points are passed down the family tree to your legend’s future descendants.

For elite Managers who reach Eternal G.O.A.T. status, NBA 2K27 introduces up to 20 scaling difficulty modifiers all designed to introduce challenging twists that push your MyNBA Legacy skill to the absolute limit.

Step onto the court, build your dynasty, and begin your legacy today!
