How to Change Your MyCareer Nickname in NBA 2k23

You will not be referred to as MP any more!

NBA 2K23 has a range of customization options that players can explore while playing the popular MyCareer Mode. While creating the MyPlayer you can customize various elements and add a unique name to your character. You can select the player’s height, weight, position, attributes, and other details. However, you will find that the created MyPlayer is simply referred to as MP by commentators and others.

To change your MyPlayer Nickname in NBA 2K23, you will need to play through the Summer League quest and reach the NBA. Visit the MyCity Menu, navigate to the Options/Quit section, and choose the Settings tab. Scroll down, and you will see various elements like Game Difficulty, Quarter Length, Social Media Handle, and Secondary Nickname. Under Secondary Nickname, you will find awesome names like Mr. Clutch, Mr. Perfect, P, Mr. Fundamentals, Mr. Incredible, Mr. Moves, Prime Time, Red Hot, Shake n’ Bake, and more. 

Select a preferable name from the Secondary Nickname section, and this will be your new nickname in the game. Players can also type in a unique name for their MyPlayer Social Media Handle. Your MyPlayer’s Social Media Handle also allows you to customize the character’s presence on the internet. NBA 2K23 fans love this new feature as it replaces the generic MP name and lets commenters call your MyPlayer by the Secondary name.
