Season 3 trailer:

The City: Sunset Beach rotates in

The Park moves from City Heights to Sunset Beach, a remaster of the NBA 2K16 locale. The coastal map features signature set dressing – a towering volcano, a massive aquarium, and a lazy river – framing the courts. All Park matchups in Season 3 provide a 25% REP boost, and squads can mark their momentum by establishing themselves as a Streak Setter through win streaks.

Note – The City is available on New Gen platforms only.
