NBA The Run Adds 2000s Legends and Practice Mode

Get ready to hit the court because NBA The Run is dropping its biggest update since launch. The Wave One 2000s Legends update arrives on September 29, bringing legends like Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, and Dirk Nowitzki to the game. These icons are the first Hall of Famers to join the roster, and you can add them to your squad either by earning 5,000 CRED in matches or by picking up a 9.99 dollar DLC bundle.

The update is about more than just star power. Players will finally gain access to a Practice Mode and custom matches, making it easier to sharpen skills or play with friends. The game is also adding the famous Dyckman court, new camera options, and fresh cosmetic items like a championship belt for tournament winners. Licensed music tracks are also joining the soundtrack to keep the energy high during games.

Gameplay adjustments are also on the way to keep things competitive. The developers are nerfing goaltending to shake up defensive strategies, while also adding new dunks, layups, and advanced moves. This update kicks off the game's first official season, and the studio is offering discounts on both the standard and deluxe editions of the game across all platforms to celebrate the start of the NBA season.

Since its June debut, NBA The Run has been praised for its fair approach to rewards and its solid streetball gameplay. With this update delivering requested features like practice sessions and legendary players, the game is set to keep its momentum going throughout the fall.
