MyCAREER

Embark on your own personal, cinematic basketball journey to reach your ultimate destination: the National Basketball Association. Build up your custom MyPLAYER and take him to the heights of their career and stardom, and make a name for yourself in the global basketball universe.

In NBA 2K21, your custom MyPLAYER’s hoop dreams start in high school, continue in college, and culminate in the NBA. Then hit up the brand-new beachside Neighborhood, where you can chill with your crew, jump in on casual or competitive games, and shop for the latest gear.

MyPLAYER Builder – Create your ideal baller from the ground up, with unique customisations that put you in control of your path to basketball stardom.
High School to College – Ascend from high school ball to one of 10 officially-licensed college programs like UCLA, Michigan State, and UCONN.
College to the NBA – The better you play in college, the better your offers in the NBA will be. But just making it to the draft doesn’t mean the end of the journey. Take your MyPLAYER to the top by making the big moves on the court and even bigger moves off of it.
