how to get my nickname back?

Hello Mugen Gum,



Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



It appears that you are trying to reuse your Java profile name that was used before. Let us check and see on what we can do to help resolve your concern in a timely manner.

As per the game developer support team, how you log in depends on your account type, either with a Minecraft account, a Mojang account, or a Microsoft account.

• Legacy Minecraft accounts that have not yet been migrated – login with a Java profile name.
  
• Any account created after late 2012, or one that has been migrated from the old account format, is a Mojang account - login with an email address.
  
• Purchased Minecraft: Java Edition after December 1, 2020 - login with a Microsoft account.
  

For legacy Minecraft accounts, you log in with your Java profile name instead of an email. If you have a legacy account and forgot your username, contact Minecraft Support. 

• For a Mojang account, your Minecraft Java profile name will be shown in-game, on your Mojang account page or on the launcher itself. 
  
• For Microsoft account, your Minecraft Java profile name will be shown in-game, on your account page or on the launcher itself. Microsoft account page
  

If we may ask, are you using Microsoft account when playing Minecraft Java Edition before? Is your game played not in demo mode? Let us know so we can move forward.

Respectfully,

How do I change my nickname from A.I. on this game?

To change your nickname on NBA2K19, follow this video tutorial:

I am really not seeing how my GT was offensive, much like one of the large YouTube gamers: 'zzirGrizz' his chosen nickname is Grizz, my chosen nickname was Snoop: '[Mod Removed]'. I am honestly not seeing where the offense is coming from...

Yes, basically what I said in my previous response.
