MyCAREER in NBA 2K15 gives you the opportunity to develop your MyPLAYER from the ground up into an NBA superstar. From starting out as an unknown just trying to make the team, to working your way up the depth chart and becoming a starter, your destiny is completely in your hands. But the action isn’t just on the court. Interact directly with your coach, teammates, agent, GM, the media, and other NBA players as you shape the way your career unfolds.
Along the way, you can upgrade your MyPLAYER in a variety of ways, including abilities, signature animations, accessories, off-the-court clothing, and much more.
Will you become the next great player in the NBA, or will you fail to live up to expectations and wash out without making an impact? In MyCAREER, the choice is yours.
MyGM is a completely re-imagined franchise experience. In NBA 2K15, the immersion and depth of the experience have been elevated to new heights with the addition of entertaining and thought provoking new features.
As the GM of your favorite team, you will need to satisfy the demands of your owner, all while fostering relationships with other GMs, your staff, and of course, your players. How you interact with these personas will determine the story of how your career as a GM plays out. When it comes to getting what you want, sometimes it may take a little persuading to achieve the desired result. But at what cost?
As you gain experience by making smart moves, you will earn upgrades and perks as your GM levels up. To further aid your endeavor, you will have complete control over your team's finances, right down to setting the prices of game tickets, hot dogs, and sodas.

Welcome to MyPARK, the next revolution in pick-up basketball! In NBA 2K15, the world has grown from a single Park to an entire region of players battling for hoop supremacy.
3 cities, 3 Parks, 3 unique brands of basketball. The Old Town Flyers are notorious for their up-tempo, flashy play. The Rivet City Roughriders are aggressive and relentless, with physical play dictating the action above all else. The Sunset Beach Ballers are calm and relaxed which translates to ruthless precision shooting.
Bring the rivalry to the hardwood! The players of Old Town, Rivet City and Sunset Beach face off in the Jordan Rec Center to lay claim as the best ballers around. This venue features four full-sized courts, 5v5 matches with NBA rules.
Where does your allegiance lie? What Park will you call home? Choose wisely. And get ready to ball.
An all-new experience for NBA 2K15, MyLEAGUE offers up an incredibly robust franchise experience that allows for complete and total customization.
MyLEAGUE allows you to custom build the league you want. Play a single season, or set up an 80-year franchise. Don’t have time to play a full season? Set the season length to 14 games. Or 29 games. Or 58 games. Not interested in the salary cap and all the rules that come with it? Turn it off. Do you want to be the commissioner and approve every trade made in the league? You have that option. Winning too many games when simulating? Crank up the difficulty slider to suit your fancy.
Every detail of how your league plays out is in your complete control with NBA 2K15’s MyLEAGUE mode.

- Unable to play online?
Online features require MyPLAYER account (13+ to register in-game, www.nba2k.com for details).
- "The 2KSports Server is unavailable at this time. Please try again later."
This message is generally displayed when the servers are brought down for maintanance. You are advised to try again a short time later.
- "A problem has been encountered that prevents gameplay from continuing. This game will not be counted."
If you see this error during Xbox Live play, this means your console and your opponent's console could not agree on the state of the game. We advise that you restart NBA 2K15 to resolve the issue.
- Why can't I load my MyCAREER save file?
MyCAREER game saves that were created when connected to the 2K Sports server require an active internet connection on subsequent loads.
