Legacy mode introduces redesigned menus, full-season recruiting through assistant coaches, high school scouting visits, and a new trophy room. Rival mode focuses on quick games built around classic school rivalries, while Slam Dunk Challenge includes five competitions: Beat the Clock, Style, Horse, Dunk-O-War, and an all-modes Championship.
