The next-gen version of NBA 2K21 is launching a slew of new features. The big one: the return of Affiliations in the next-gen version and it’s been among the more requested features of the NBA 2K community. In this article, we will introduce you to the return of affiliations, how to join and change the Next-Gen of NBA 2K21.

Affiliations make their official return on Next-Gen

2K fans will be quite excited by the return of Affiliations for NBA 2K21 Next-Gen’s The City. The four affiliations will be the North Side Knights, South City Vipers, Beasts of the East, and Western Wildcats. Each Affiliation will have its own borough with unique court locations.

Affiliations will come to Player Rep where ballers can level up and strengthen their MyPlayers through playing on their home courts. There will also be a new addition with Mayors- individuals elected by vote to organize, rally, and lead each Affiliation. Some of their duties will include creating in-game videos, curating custom music playlists for the borough, and choosing court design along with uniform selection.

Affiliations will also participate in Rival Day Conquest and Rival Day Championship events. The Conquest allows Affiliations to invade other boroughs and try to take over the courts. At the end of the Rival Day Conquest, the four Affiliations are ranked based on their scores. Those scores will determine seeds for the Rival Day Championship, where all four Affiliations compete to become crowned best of The City.

How to join an Affiliation in NBA 2K21?

Affiliation

Before you join an Affiliation in NBA 2K21, players need to start in Rookieville. Located in the southern part of The City, this is where MyPLAYER characters will start their journey.

When you start out in The City, you will be limited in terms of where you can play games. However, as you gain Player Rep, more areas will be unlocked. In order to leave Rookieville and join an Affiliation, you will have to move your Player Rep to Pro 1.

Once this is completed, you will be inserted into one of four Affiliations at random. Those Affiliations are as followed:

• North Side Knights
• South City Vipers
• Beasts of the East
• Western Wildcats

How to change Affiliations in NBA 2K21?

What if you are not happy with the Affiliation that you were given? You will have the option to change it, but to do so, you will have to go to the desired Affiliation’s City Hall and file for a request transfer.

However, there is a penalty for switching Affiliations. If you do decide to change your Affiliation, your Player Rep level will drop to Pro 1. Keep this penalty in mind before deciding to change your Affiliation.

For some years now, one of the most requested features from the NBA 2K community has been Affiliation-based gameplay. The power of the Next Gen consoles has given 2K the opportunity to execute on this fully. Stay tuned!
