Towards the beginning of Next-Gen players' journeys in NBA 2K23 MyCAREER, there is a very important questline that awards four additional Badge upgrades once completed.

For those on Current Gen, there is a way to get nine extra Badge points through quests.

The Badges are added on top of your build's original total potential and can be equipped right away without any further grinding needed. Here's a breakdown of how to get four extra Badges at the start of NBA 2K23 MyCAREER on Next Gen.

'Welcome to the League' NBA 2K23 Quest Guide: How to Complete

Similar to last year's College vs. G League debacle, NBA 2K23 presents players with an especially important quest early on called "Welcome to the League."

This is given once players complete the NBA Summer League game.

To complete the Welcome to the League quest and earn its valuable rewards, players will need to complete the following Objectives:

1. Handle Your Business

  • Play five NBA Games
  • Get a combined total of 60 Points, Assists, Rebounds, Blocks and Steals in the NBA

2. Control the Narrative

  • Meet with John Luck

After all of this is done, however, what has been confusing a lot of players at this point is that there is still some more work to do. Players will have to play five more NBA games and keep progressing in the main story until MP is informed that he has been promoted to a starter.

Finally, players will then receive the option to add four more Badge points to their builds.


NBA 2K23 is available now for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam).
