In career mode, you start the game as an African American boy who comes from a rundown neighborhood and has a twin sister who teaches you how to play basketball. It's a story mode type of game that can be pretty interesting. Spike Lee directs career mode, and you will find yourself thrown into a series of events that you could have never imagined. The basketball simulator could be noted for one other new feature: career mode. Outside the teams, you have next-generation graphics and a host of different modes. Year after year, NBA 2K Sports has continued to bring the fire that has created a realistic basketball experience.
