Re: Just Noticed the MyPlayer Skill Caps...Trading this game in today

Except 2K decides the caps, not you. You don't get to choose. And these caps make little sense. My small forward is limited to 80 quickness. That's barely above league average for the position. Yet my limit for post fadeaway and hook is 95, which is the same as on back to basket PF/C. Why?

Not to mention there's a clear indication that the caps have been tweaked so that people would buy training boosts. Almost every skill is capped lower than it was before they were introduced.

I love how people go the extreme to defend an answer saying we want 7'5 centers with 99 speed and quickness. Not at all. The problem is exactly what you said here. The caps don't make sense in a lot of areas. I PG speed and quickness should have a 99 cap or at least a 95. If I want a speedy PG that should be an option even if it means being limited in other areas.

Double-Double, some blocks, steals, boards and A+...That's an easy 1,200-1,600 VC without multiplier. And if you add in the social media challenge and milestones

What position are you playing with? I've had a game putting up a triple double with 40 points, 15 assists, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 steals on all star and only ended up with 890 VC on all-star difficulty.

I like the idea of caps. I don't want to see a 7 footer doing cross overs and hitting fade away threes all day... I would like there to be a specialty attribute. Where you can pick one to cap at 99

Re: Just Noticed the MyPlayer Skill Caps...Trading this game in today

More user control doesn't have to equate to ridiculous experiences. Whether its within a league or online match I'm all for caps. However there's nothing inherently wrong with allowing a commish to dictate what's allowed and what isn't. I certainly have no issue with caps put in place for a level playing field online either.

But if some guy wants to go nuts with his offline MyRPG let him. That is if he has a connection and the servers are up and he wishes to play by himself.

The fact that you can cap a player may ruin the immersive experience for some. I know it would for me.

What's the point in creating a slashing SG if you can cap every attribute or 3pt caps are the same as a layup cap? Online or offline, I still think it's a bad idea.

You can't just look at a design as a flaw just because you feel like you should be able to do what you want "offline". That is like saying you should be able to choose what team you are drafted to.

The caps are by design and a smart one at that.

I respect your opinion and understand your argument, I just don't agree.

Not like you will actually notice any speed difference in this game

True since every simi athletic PG has at least a 90. Speed ratings globally overrate guards while offering little distinction between guards.

oh I see what you are saying, yes that is stupid. I thought you meant your overall is capped at 92 not an individual stat. I agree with you every individual stat should go to 99 but just cap the overall at 92

If they are going to cap a stat they should take the best player at your position, and what ever his rating is at that stat, cap it there.

So for example, the best PF in the league speed is 90 then cap the PF speed at 90

Bingo The fastest SFs probably run 4'4 40s thats at least a 90 speed and an 85 in quickness yet I cant name a SF with both a top tier hook and fade.

Re: Just Noticed the MyPlayer Skill Caps...Trading this game in today

Let me just say this now, because a lot of people don't have reading comprehension skills and are calling me stupid for wanting all positions to have 99 level attributes in every aspect.


That's not what I'm ****ing saying. I know there are supposed to be caps to prevent Centers from being super speedy and keep PG's from having super strength. What I'm SAYING is, the guys at 2K have made some questionable reductions to the stat caps, making it to where you can't get a SINGLE STAT to 99 anymore, ultimately forcing you to continually buy training boosts which last a few games every couple of weeks (you can only wear so many accessories). The fact of the matter is that 2K is trying to suck every penny out of us, and the gullible Chris Smoove watching fools are going to buy it in drones to make sure they have enough VC to buy training boosts and keep their stats at 99 every couple of weeks. That's that **** I don't like.


Traded it in, btw. Not only because of the stats, but everything this game has done wrong. That was just the nail in the coffin for me. Hopefully they have their problems sorted out next go-round

I feel u. Its garbage. If i have a pg i should be able to max out one of the following: speed,quickness,close or mid range jumper. For each position there should be a few categories u can max and its up to u as the player to pick which one and only one u can max out.

I agree. I have now gotten further into MyCareer and now see the lowered individual caps that there are in game.

2k Sports intentionally reduced the individual caps this year that you can achieve for your MyPlayer so that were now forced to spend even more VC money on training boosts and clothing boosts to make up for the reductions. Rather than just admit thats what they did, Erick Boenisch "SimBaller" tried to turn this into a uncapped vs capped discussion.

The greed in all of the game modes this year on next gen are shameful. Whether its MyCareer, Park, MyTeam, MyGM, or even regular Blacktop mode its all about trying to suck more money out of us through micro-transactions.

I don't blame you for trading in the game. What they've done this year has turned off a lot of people and if they don't change their tune for next year their just going to completely ruin their brand and reputation.

Re: Just Noticed the MyPlayer Skill Caps...Trading this game in today

Just remove the VC and for a player to progress, there must be "mini-games" to advance specific skills. In the past 2k Topspin, players will progress if they pass some mini-games/test. Why not in NBA? UNLESS OF COURSE 2K's intention is to drain their customers with $$$$$.

Why would anyone wanna return such an amazing game because of a cap?

Re: Just Noticed the MyPlayer Skill Caps...Trading this game in today

Would you rather have 7'5 Centers doing crossovers like Iverson in his prime? Pretty sure you, and most others, don't want that.

The reality is, there never has been, nor will there ever be a player that is perfect in every attribute.

Totally agree but I think it should be up to the players to decide which attributes get the max cap instead of pigeon holing us into a pre-determined player category. They could give us a set number of 95's 90's 85's etc. and we get to decide which attributes get those caps. I want to create original players without strict boundaries. Just because LeBron is athletic doesn't mean he can't pass at an elite level? Those two styles shouldn't be at odds, we should be able to combine them! This way we can choose our player's faults as well so that we can mold a player to our own personal and desired playing style.

Re: Just Noticed the MyPlayer Skill Caps...Trading this game in today

Before I express my thoughts, I will also need to state that I just bought nba2k14 for the first time for my ps4. In the past I used to play nba live and before that nba jump

I must say, I am well impressed by the graphics, the story line in mycareer and the whole VC progression system. Yes, they try to push for micro transactions and DLC, but as long as servers are running, should not be a big issue. All DLC games keep me entertained much longer than the rest.

My only hope is that they do not shut down those side farming activities so we can progress faster in the game.
