2K Sports has dropped the official trailer for MyCAREER in NBA 2K19. Titled “The Way Back”, the trailer provides us with a glimpse of this year’s story, as well as some of the actors who will be playing key characters.
From the looks of things, this year’s MyPLAYER character – referred to in cutscenes as “AI” – ends up playing in China after being drafted. The story then appears to revolve around efforts to make it back to the United States and the NBA, including a stint in the G-League. These efforts to finally make it in the NBA appear to tie in with the “They Will Know Your Name” tagline that was revealed in early previews. Exact details about the story and features of the mode are yet to be revealed, but should no doubt be coming soon in a detailed developer blog.
Actors that will be playing roles in this year’s MyCAREER include Anthony Mackie, Haley Joel Osment, Michael Rapaport, Aldis Hodge, Rob Huebel, Blake Jenner, Ricky Whittle, Mo McRae, and Ginger Gonzaga. Check out the trailer below!
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gamers will be able to begin playing through the early stages of MyCAREER with this year’s Prelude, which comes out August 31st. What are your thoughts? Have your say in the comments section below, and join in the discussion here in the NBA 2K19 section of the NLSC Forum.
Not another *MyPlayer* storyline…
I’m afraid so. This one looks a lot better than last year, but the overall approach still has the same drawbacks.
This shit getting too realistic; when I was younger I dreamed of this level of immersion, but not anymore.
I always thought overseas play would be cool, but not if it’s a scripted part of the story; I think everyone would just rather have a unique experience instead of cutscenes.
That’s my issue with the story-driven approach. Everyone ends up playing the same story without any branching or variation.
