LeBron: Path to Greatness is a new game mode in which users get to play out the future of LeBron James all the way up until his retirement. In the first, less controversial path, James stays with the Heat, creating a dynasty to match any in league history. In the other, James bolts for the New York Knicks this summer in free agency, teams with various stars along the way, and finds himself in an eerily familiar yet absolutely fantastical iteration of the NBA. It's basketball science fiction.
You don’t play each full season, but rather individual games that define LeBron’s journey in some way. For example, the Heat Dynasty path starts out with the 2013/2014 finals, in which Miami tries to secure itself a championship three-peat. The seven subsequent games in this path cycle head through successive seasons and future championships. In the final game, the Dallas Mavericks lure a now-retired Kobe Bryant out of retirement to join three dynamite up-and-comers in an effort to shut down LeBron’s quests.
