Earlier today, 2K Sports released the first official MyCAREER trailer for their upcoming NBA 2K19 video game. The brief video is titled The Way Back and includes performances by well-known actors Anthony Mackie, Haley Joel Osment, Michael Rapaport, Aldis Hodge, Ron Huebel, and others. The trailer is embedded above for all of you to check out while a more in-depth description of the mode is included below.
The Way Back focuses on your journey from starting out as a basketball player in the Chinese Basketball League and transitioning over towards the NBA after a roster spot opens up on a competitive team. The trailer above highlights a few obstacles that you’ll have to overcome on your rise to stardom and heavily implies that the journey won’t be easy.
After watching this video, I’m definitely intrigued by this new direction for MyCAREER and I’ll be curious to see what the overall reaction will be from fans of the series after they’ve had a chance to further explore this mode. The NBA 2K19 Prelude demo drops on August 31st for PS4 and Xbox One and includes the first chapter of The Way Back. I definitely would encourage fans of the series to check that out to get a general idea of what the final product will be like.
NBA 2K19 launches on September 11th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch. Players who pre-order the game can start playing on September 7th. Are any of you planning on picking up NBA 2K19 next month? Please feel free to let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
