NBA 2K: MyLIFE tips and tricks straight from the developer

NBA 2K13, the 13th title in developer Visual Concepts’ popular basketball simulator, was released on more platforms than any previous entry in the series. To accompany the console, handheld, PC, and mobile versions, 2K also created the NBA 2K: MyLIFE app on Facebook to further the franchise’s reach and replay value.

Social Games Associated Producer Kelly Wilson shared her own tips on getting the most out of 2K: MyLIFE. “Playing NBA 2K MyLIFE is about personal style and showcasing what it means to be an NBA basketball player,” said Wilson. “Each player can strategize their own goals whether it’s being at the top of the friend leaderboard or having all of the buildings upgraded to the highest level.”

If you are dying to unlock the next skill level dunk, stack your entourage with higher Skill-rated players, and you’ll see an increase in Skill. If you want to unlock more capacity for buildings, raise your Rep by swapping out your skilled players with high Rep VIPs. You can change your entourage as much as you like, so you can use that as a strategy toward accomplishing your goals. Source: 2K Sports
