Through YouTube personality Chris Smoove, 2K Sports has released the opening sequence and some news on MyCareer mode in NBA 2K15.

This year the mode will start users as undrafted free agents and they must work their way up the ranks in the NBA. The opening storyline focuses on your player being upset with his agent who projected he would be drafted, only to see his name not called on draft night. Players will begin their career in January (not October) with a series of 10-day contracts and playing time/results helping them to progress. There will also be no Rookie Showcase to help determine your player's initial ratings. The user will also get to experience free agency, though no exact details on the methodology were disclosed. There will also be a second voice option for your MyCareer player.

Among other changes/improvements: 'Coaching 101' will help you learn what the coach and team expect from you, Pharrell will interact with your player in at least one scene.
