G Training Facility

Where is it?: Right beside the Team Training Facility.

What is it?: The G Training Facility is where you can increase your MyPLAYER’s level cap. Inside, you’ll find various exercises to help improve your stats, such as:

• Leg Press
• Squats
• Battle Ropes
• Treadmill
• Dumbbell
• And more!

If you don’t feel like working out, head to the Gatorade Fuel Bar to buy consumables that give you Turbo boosts.

Team Training Facility

Where is it?: Behind a statue at the end of the street.

What is it?: The Team Training Facility lets you work on your MyPLAYER’s badges. You’ll complete drills to earn points that help you unlock or improve badges. You can also practice your shooting, but it doesn’t seem to offer any special benefits besides helping with shot release.

MyCOURT High – Rise

Where is it?: Across from the Team Training Facility, next to the theater.

What is it?: The MyCOURT High-Rise is your personal space. Inside, you’ll find a full-size court, a closet for changing clothes, and a large TV where you can watch NBA 2K18 TV.

The Venue

Where is it?: Directly across from your MyCOURT.

What is it?: The Venue is where you will find different themed game modes (depending on the week). Sometimes there will be wager modes while other times House Rules and so on.

Dunk Off Court

Where is it?: Right next to The Venue.

What is it?: The Dunk Off Court is where you can show off your dunking skills. You’ll have 30 seconds to make as many dunks as possible. The highest scores of the day get posted on the scoreboard.

VC Sports Management

Where is it?: Across from the Dunk Off Court.

What is it?: This is where your agent handles sponsorships and endorsements. After your first NBA game, your agent will offer you deals, but the office is only open when your agent messages you.

T Shirt Kiosk

Where is it?: Near the Dunk Off Court and Pro-Am Team Arena.

What is it?: At the T-shirt Kiosk, you can create and vote on custom t-shirts for your MyPLAYER. You need to be at least level 80 to create and purchase t-shirts.

Pro – Am Team Arena

Where is it?: Across from the NBA Store.

What is it?: The Pro-Am Team Arena lets you start or join a Pro-Am Team and play against other teams.

King of The Court

Where is it?: Head past the Pro-Am Arena and look for the court at the end of the street.
