POSTED September 02, 2016
New features have been added to NBA 2K17 MyCareer Mode. Player creation, story, endorsements, text messages have been revamped. Check them out here and take a look at latest screenshots.
Player Creation
You’re not just choosing a position anymore. Now you also choose what type of a player you want to be, and this, in turn, dictates your starting attributes. From choosing an archetype, you move on to many of the typical creation decisions, like height, weight, and wingspan. The key to remember in 2K17 is that THESE THINGS MATTER. How you shape yourself from the very beginning has a huge impact on what type of a player you will become.

Story
In 2K17 the way you play the game and the decisions you make off-the-court will change the way you experience the narrative. This a big difference with 2K16. Now if you’re a gym rat like your partner ( read later ), the two of you will form a strong bond right away. If you’re more outspoken in press conferences and when talking with the media, it will have ramifications down the line.

Text Messages
The main form of communication in MyCAREER with the various people you interact with is text messaging. In past years, this type of communication was very primitive, and usually one-way. This year, the conversations are completely interactive. You decide what to say and how each conversation will unfold.
Endorsements
As MyPLAYER and Justice continue to work together off the court, it has a real impact in what happens during games. When the two of you are locked in, you have the opportunity to utilize dual player controls for the first time ever in MyCAREER. Not only can you tell Justice to do things like cut to the basket, take a shot, or isolate, you can also switch over and control him entirely.
