    Re: NBA 2k Should have Females in Myplayer

    Speaking of what-if basketball sims, I can envision an ensuing battle so aggressive that to claim they are the best basketball sim, the game would be a mix of Sims 4 and NBA2K. That's right folks, "We're so sim, you better do the #2 before you head out on the court or you'll wind up crapping on the floor." Not a pretty picture of a fully simulated My Career.

      The only reason I wouldn't want women is because it's an NBA game. It'd be fine for blacktop but I've never liked the idea of women playing in the NBA. But if we're adding dogs that would be cool. I've always wanted to be like Air-Bud.

        Not sure why you and so many others haven't got it yet, but the NBA doesn't ban women from joining. It's none of your concern if the few female 2K gamers in existence want to use a female character in MyCareer.

          I'm very aware that women aren't banned but has a women ever played in the NBA? Lol I could care less what someone wants do with their character I've just never liked the idea of women playing in the NBA. That's all I'm saying.
          I also really doubt it's gonna happen in 2k anytime soon. May happen at some point but I wouldn't hold my breath.

            Then why even mention it if it's completely irrelevant to the topic?

              Wait a minute...

              A female creating herself in a video game to play in the NBA is bad
              A middle aged and overweight 5-8 unathletic male creates a 6-10 athletic power forward who can jump through the roof and rain 3's and it's good?

              The NBA wouldn't allow anybody on this forum in the NBA for the same reason they won't allow women. It has nothing to do with gender, everything to do with talent.

              I just think the hypocrisy is laughable

                This would be very interesting. I don't think the NBA wants to open this can of worms and would never allow 2K to have women in the game. I could care less, if someone wants a woman on their team, why not? It might bring in women into playing the game.

                  Yea, I'm sure the nba has a vested interest in cutting off a section of their demographic.

                    Well, I gave my opinion on the topic. I wouldn't add females. I gave my reasoning. I've never liked the idea of women playing in the NBA.
                    If you disagree that's fine, I don't expect people to agree with my personal opinions. I just don't see how going from talking about women in nba2k, to talking about women in the nba is an irrelevant topic. But ok.
                    To be clear, I don't hate the idea of adding women, 2k just has more important things to work on than this.

                      I think that is a very valid point. Not adding females to make sure resources at allocated to others areas is something I would agree with.

                        NBA 2k Should have Females in Myplayer

                        My opinion still stands, just add a upper chest depth slider and hip width slider (along with other sliders) with more hairstyles, like improved longer hair, and apply a Gameface-like Create a Player, it's perfectly fine to have women in NBA 2K.

                        Done. Simple solution, one that will improve the game, and one that doesn't make people argue with about a virtual characters gender. Since the game rarely refers your myPlayer as "he" or any other "male" terms.

                          I would also prefer a female voice character over the garbage that they had for the male voice.

                          A female would likely sound less ridiculous.

                            Well, if it was that easy, then I would say go ahead and do it. However, there are a lot of different features between a man and a woman's body. I doubt these women playing 2k would want their my player looking masculine.
                            I mean we don't even have a good CAP system right now, so first they'd need to improve that. Then they would have to take multiple scans of different women's bodies and faces to accurately represent them. Then for the mycareer portion, they would have to hire a voice actor and pay them to record a hundred hours for all the cutscenes and interviews. Unless, you just use the regular voice, which would be a pretty funny sight.
                            I can't speak for girl gamers but if it was me, I would rather have it well done or not done at all. It would be insulting if they just did some cheap way of getting women into the game or portrayed them badly. I would also be more in favor of improving the gameplay than aesthetic aspects.
                            I'm just not sure the women fan base is big enough to justifiably spend the money, time, and resources. Especially for a company that releases an NBA game annually, that also has to be patched multiple times every year.

                              If the game was already great in every other aspect then I would be fine with the feature. Just a lot more to be focused on right now. Like making sure the game works at launch lol or fixing these servers.

                                Well, as a CAP creator, and someone who has messed around variety of creation hubs, I believe this make-shift idea is the best solution for now. They may have to scan a woman, but I'm near sure there's women in the office, so mo-capping will not be a problem.

                                I think it's fine though without it, I just believe you're not seeing the vision in my head, remember, Gameface is an option here, so a women's face will not be difficult, all they would truly need is better hair styles (like a more real ponytail, long hair, braids, etc.) and body sliders that don't adjust themselves in modifications like WWE 2K.

                                Makeshift Voice idea: Pitch, Famine, and Speed.
