What are leadership skills in NBA 2K23 next-gen?

In NBA 2K23 MyCAREER, Leadership Skills are perks and benefits that enhance the player’s skills and attributes. Inside the leadership skills tab, several skills look like badges and can be unlocked with the available skill points.

In simple terms, Leadership skills are badges that cannot be unlocked with the regular game currency but with the available skill points.

Leadership skills differ from regular badges in another way. These skills can also boost the skills and attributes of your teammates in the MyCAREER mode.

In the last steps of configuring the MyCAREER mode, you will get a prompt when you save your progress. In this prompt, you will initially get a choice to choose from the two available leadership skills: Trailblazer and General.

There are three Leadership skills in total, but initially, you can only access two of the skills mentioned above. Once you progress through the MyCAREER storyline, you will unlock the third College Skill after completing the College Flashback Sequence.

How to unlock the second skill slot in NBA 2K23 MyCareer?

To complete leadership skills 2k23, you must unlock the second skill slot. You will need 30 skill points to unlock the second skill slot for Leadership Skills.

If you are short on skill points, note that you must complete around 10 matches/games to earn around 30 skill points.

That sounds pretty straightforward. However, for some players, there appears to be a bug in NBA 2K23 that does not count skill points. So, you might not get any skill points after completing a match.

Did You Know

Leadership Skills are not available in the Current-Gen version of the game.

It remains unknown why and how this bug is occurring. You are highly advised to keep an eye on your skill points because there is no point in wasting precious time completing 10 matches when you are not even getting their rewards.

If you notice that your matches are not giving you skill points, contact 2K Sports’ support team immediately. NBA 2K23 was just recently released and there are bound to be a few glitches and bugs that the developer would want to iron out in upcoming patches.

Can you pick both Leadership Skills?

NBA 2K23 will force you to pick one of two available Leadership Skills during every College flashback. The skill you choose will be available for use in future games, while the skill you abandon or do not choose will be gone forever.

You cannot go back and change your choices or unlock all of the Leadership Skills in MyCareer that you previously ignored. Hence, choose wisely.

If you know how to get drafted in round 1, use that to join your dream team and start unlocking your Leadership skills.
