	So it will be up to you to decide how you want to live out your career. Each decision will have consequences. Good or bad.

Yes. I like this one the most.

Also, we get to play HS ball, College ball and THEN NBA? Wooooooooooooooooot. I LOVE this

Omg the front page is overload!! Im in the hospital typing this, all this information gave me a heart attack!!

It sounds more realistic and better acting. I wasn't planning on touching MyCareer this year, but just maybe...

I'm excited to play this mode for the story. I'm left a bit confused, though. Is this basically going to be a straight forward campaign mode but with basketball as a side mission?

Nice...

# 7 Papesowish @ 09/14/15 12:07 PM

# 9 eltyboogie @ 09/14/15 12:24 PM

so can we customize our hs uniforms/ court?

Looks great....Although I'm beginning to worry that you won't be able to "create" your player. Might be a case of who/what you see is what you get. Sort of like Fight Night Champion

Was confirmed that you can change your player completely, even his name, Freq seems to be a nickname you cannot change though.

i was also wondering about this ...
but the way they said the pro am is integrated i believe you will be able to, read the off day article

# 13 King_B_Mack @ 09/14/15 12:33 PM

I still can't believe Spike went with Frequency Vibrations. Like...come on Spike lol. Other than that, love the MyCareer news today. Still have questions that need answering though, like the designing your high school unis question. Also I assume those high school flashbacks mentioned in the write up will be playable? Stuff like that needs to be made clear in these write ups.

# 14 crazy_87 @ 09/14/15 12:38 PM

Im am stoked about live practice,hs ball etc all sounds great

BUT there is the line about that Spike's story ends right when you enter the NBA

now the huge question comes to my mind: What does this mean? that after our NBA draft Mycareer will only consist of Menus and Games and no more Cutszenes at all or just that Spikes Involvment after we enter the NBA ends and our NBA story is 2k made?

Yea, this confused me but then I watched the 'Livin Da' Dream' trailer and it had NBA specific cutscenes and lines.

# 16 MontanaMan @ 09/14/15 12:40 PM

Where's that Spike trailer that leaked the other day?

# 17 kadzier @ 09/14/15 12:41 PM

Yeah I'm also wondering what happens after you make it to the NBA

Is the story/dialogue quality going to be a huge drop off since Spike's involvement has ended? Hopefully the NBA players, if they have them, don't turn in such atrocious voice acting performances as last year

# 18 yurithebest @ 09/14/15 01:29 PM

Are we able to scan our faces in my career mode this year guys??
I'm a little bit confused!

Dustin said on Twitter we play a few high school and college games.

I think the difference is, EA used their storyline to basically teach you the basics of how to play the game. With each fighter you faced you had to learn how to use different controls. The storyline was the exact same all the way through no matter what.

My hope is that the storylines are deep enough to where careers don't always turn out the same.
