POSTED July 31, 2017
Erick Boenisch, Senior Producer on NBA 2K18, revealed many of the changes added to MyGM Mode. MyGMÂ Next Chapter is a completely new take on franchise modes with its story-driven narrative. As the GM of your favorite team, the decisions you make and the paths you choose will ultimately determine the fate of the franchise. Check out details and screeenshots.
As well as MyCareer now My GM Mode will have a story-driven narrative. While MyCAREER focuses on your life as an NBA player out to achieve superstardom, MyGM: The Next Chapter aims to view the NBA world from the complete opposite perspective. Centered around you, the GM, you will need to navigate backroom scenarios while dealing with expectations from your owner, your staff, the press, other GMs, and of course, your players.
How your MyGM experience turns out is completely up to you. Your path will be determined by the choices you make and the answers you provide at the many key points in the narrative. Understand, I’m intentionally being a little vague regarding the main plot of the story, as I want you to experience it firsthand rather than through thinly veiled spoilers.
