NBA LIVE 19

The new Icon Progression Paths are a fun thing to go after. You could do this with any player, but I earned it after creating my own player in “The One” and starting a new career and playing the League. The achievement popped shortly into my third season (29 game seasons).

Each icon has a sort of “nickname” associated with the player. I choose to max out Ray Allen also known in-game as “The Sniper”. To upgrade your icon, you need to earn XP from playing actual games and achieving goals set out for you for each game. There are three tiers to progress through – Bronze, Silver and Gold. As you progress through the tiers you will gain abilities making the game much easier. At the very end of each tier, you will be forced to choose between two special abilities – the choice you make is a permanent one and CANNOT be reversed! Choose carefully.

As you progress you will also earn things like cool jerseys, nifty shoes, and neat player animations you can tack onto your player. As soon as you Max out the Icon through the three tiers your achievement will pop! I found it a fun way to advance my created player – in this case mimicking the career progression of Ray Allen.
Like every other achievement, you can play with sliders and difficulty. If you want, you can change the skill to “Rookie” although this makes the game incredibly easy. You can also max out quarter time – this gives you more time to earn the goals set out for you. There are other options for you to exploit too if you wish. You really can't help to earn this if you play a few seasons. Good luck!
