Game Description

It's all about The Life. Play through the lives of three different up-and-coming ballers: a point guard, a small forward, and a big man. You'll start out in the NBA Development League and work your way up to an NBA squad. Each story is different, with different details and mini-games, all the while teaching you what you need to know to head out to the court. Not up for a detailed story? Quickplay and Franchise are both available, as are a bunch of mini-games like Own the Court, Three-Point Shootout, and the Skills Challenge. Take on your friends online in one-on-one, two-on-two, or full squad matches.
