Affiliations return in NBA 2K24 with a very interesting twist. Affiliations are groups you can join in MyPlayer mode that will allow you to access new areas, gear, and events. Affiliations were first introduced in NBA 2K15 and have changed a lot over the years. In NBA 2K24, there are only two Affiliations that can be joined, but each has unique, exclusive benefits and rewards.

The two Affiliations that can be joined in NBA 2K24 are the Elite and the Rise. Much like in previous 2K games, the Affiliation you join will give access to exclusive courts, event progression, and gear. However, NBA 2K24 adds new aspects to Affiliations that make the choice between Elite and Rise much more important.
