Without further ado, here are the top 5 playbooks to use in NBA 2K23 MyTeam;

  1. ´13 Heat Playbook – While this is certainly one of the more popular playbooks in NBA 2K23 MyTeam, it needs to be executed to perfection to be effective. You need to have a strong shooter on the floor and two competent screeners for it to work. As most of the plays will focus on getting the shooter open for easy shots along the three-point line. That being said, this is still one of the better playbooks to score consistently all over the floor
  2. ´03 Mavericks Playbook – This gold playbook offers a variety of options on offense and is one of the more well-rounded playbooks in NBA 2K23 MyTeam. While it’s definitely not cheap, it features plays that are effective with almost any player in the game. You don’t need to have the most talented players either, as this powerful playbook is designed to maximize the potential of every player on the court.
  3. ´08 Rockets Playbook – Next up we have the ´08 Rockets Playbook, which is one of the more simplistic yet affective playbooks in the game. At first glance, it’s easy to scoff at this one as it holds just 17 plays total. However, sometimes large volumes of plays can be overwhelming and unnecessary. If you can find a handful of plays to run in select circumstances, you’ll stand just as much of a chance to win games. This playbook, in particular, relies on strong three-point shooting and effective drives to the paint.
  4. ´96 Bulls Playbook – For those that prefer to run isolation or post-up plays, look no further than the ’96 Bulls Playbook. Some of the highlighted plays here focus heavily on pick-and-roll offenses, as opposed to other scoring opportunities. However, if you’ve got a strong post presence and playmakers along the wing, then this playbook is filled with plays that are nearly impossible to stop. Particularly if you’ve got some Hall-of-Fame Bulls players from that era (Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, etc.).
  5. Warriors Playbook – Lastly, we’ve got the only playbook from the current NBA, the gold Warriors Playbook. Packed with 47 unique and diverse plays, this playbook offers plenty of flexibility depending on play style. Although, as you might expect, it’s geared towards getting your three-point shooter open and knocking down threes at a high clip. This means that if you’ve got an elite shooter like Steph Curry, this is the best playbook to use.

That’s everything you need to know about the top 5 playbooks to use in NBA 2K23 MyTeam.
