Where to change your nickname for MyCareer in NBA 2K23

We should note right off the bat that you are able to change the secondary nickname of your MyPlayer character in NBA 2K23. While this may not affect the name that shows up on your jersey or screen, it will affect how the announcers reference you in-game.

Now to do this, you will have needed to make it past the Summer League portion and be in the NBA. After that, you will want to do the following:

• Step 1: In The City main menu, pause and scroll to the Options/Quit section.
• Step 2: Select the Settings tab.
• Step 3: Scroll down to change the Secondary Nickname. This affects what the play-by-play commentators call you. You can also change your social media handle here as well.

If you want more of a name change than this, you will need to create a new player build and change the name. That will change the name of your new build, and all other ones. However, if this change helps, it can be a quick fix for those who are either sick of hearing MP all the time, or want to hear a specific nickname.
