"MyTeam this is a feature where you build a team based on players," producer Erick Boenisch said. "You can go to the store and purchase booster packs of players and you are basically just trying to build the best team you can. But we aren't limiting you to just NBA players this year. You can actually go out and get classic players in the booster packs as well."
Within the MyTeam mode is another mode called Road To the Playoffs this mode starts gamers three games out of the eighth playoff seed with 12 games remaining. Gamer will have to just win those three games to make the playoffs but the more games they win the more rewards earned.
"Once you move up start getting free rewards," Boenisch said. " We start giving you free players. We start giving you free virtual currency. We start giving you free booster packs and the whole goal of this mode is to rise all the way up to the one seed."
