7. You're Railroaded Through High School And College
Some choices do exist for you (sorry, "Freq"), but they're largely meaningless. You choose - from a fairly limited set of options - which high school and college you attend, but the storyline remains pretty much identical regardless. Even more frustratingly, your performances in this handful of pre-NBA games has no bearing on your status as an NBA prospect. You begin college as one of the hottest draft prospects in the entire nation, and your stock will drop after your first game, regardless of how well you perform.
