Achievements and unlocks
Basketball Career has 38 achievements: 32 you can see from the start and 6 secret ones that stay hidden until you earn them. They're saved on your device across careers, and many unlock new jerseys or new starting stories.
How achievements work
- You earn most achievements the moment they happen, with a pop-up during your career. A couple (like Empty Cabinet and One-Team Legend) can only be judged when you retire.
- Every new career sets three career goals picked from achievements you haven't earned yet. Goals are optional.
- Achievements unlock 13 jerseys and three extra starting stories: Can't-miss prodigy, Legacy kid and Second act.
