NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

2k11 was basically the peak of my player

this, 2k mc went downhill when instead of moving forward, they kept taking crap out.Why? who knows. i woulda perferred they just added on to mc each year, instead of literally going backwards with it every year until they just revamped the mode instead of just adding on to what made it good.

Guys, you really gotta understand this is an NBA game....NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION...it's rated E for Everyone. Just because we're all late teens or adults doesn't mean it is going to be marketed to us.

Everything in the game has to be okayed by the NBA, they can't have a non "corny" story with drugs and curses because Adam Silver's not gonna allow that. Same reason players aren't getting booed and no techs for fights and all that.

Personally I think this route is more believable, we're creating guys that have no college background compared to people like Wiggins and Parker so why should we be drafted?

I'm only disappointed in the hair, it's really not that hard to get just one simple fade or lineup.

If the story was less corny that would be ok but right now i can guess that the story will still be as corny as 2k14 was….. only good for 12 years old who enjoy wearing a red clown nose lol.

You do know stuff like that goes on in the real Nba behind closed doors hazi...i mean err rookie rituals....so they werent far off actually from reality...
Cheers!

Yeah. There's just no pleasing some people.

the problem i have with this line is that it makes it sound like nobody knew what they wanted for this mode. When in fact everyone stated year in and year out what needed fixing. instead of doing that stuff, 2k went in a totally opposite direction, and did something no one asked for. so yeah there is pleasing people, but what reaction do you really expect when you ask for one thing and get something completely different. Its like going to a resturaunt, asking for a sandwich, and getting spaghetti instead, then the resturaunt goes, well be happy we made you something at all.

Who said anything about having drugs and cursing making a story non corny? lmao. I don't play sports games for story modes, i play a lot of plot heavy games(metal gear or last of us for example) for story. Sports games are the last type of game i play for story, and frankly the story was very corny and cliche, with or without cussing(cussing and drugs wouldn't change anything). The writing was just, not that great IMO.

Franklly i don't need a story mode for my career, hell if i want to i can make one up in my head and play out, instead of being forced to follow a storyline i don't care about. but i think making it so you have to follow some kind of storyline isn't the way to go, makes it seem unrealistic. Or at least why not have an option to do my career story mode, or just regular my career? Seems like a good compromise.

I'm just saying that a story mode in an official sports game can't be anything other than cheesy. The NBA isn't going to allow fighting or going out to clubs, dating cheerleaders nothing at all like that.

People are making it seem like 2K14 was developed by Disney, it wasn't that bad. Obviously it could be better but they have limits applied by the NBA themselves.

And remember, we on the forum are a minority. The casual fans and even a lot of the youtube guys love the story in 14, and 2K hears more feedback on Twitter and Facebook from casuals that love it so they decided to keep the story in.

That's the thing though, there disney movies with better story. I'm not saying it has to be violent or crazy to be good. But yeah, the story also suffered from trying to hard at times to make things over dramatic, i dunno it was just too over the top and corny at times. And even you said a sports game story has no choice but to be cheesy. Which is why the last thing a sports game needs is story. Hell, fight night champion did the same thing back in the day, and a lot of people were irritated by it because they felt they wasted resources doing something nobody asked for.

I just feel like it's a waste of time and resources to waste, writing a cheesy story mode nobody asked for, it's weird. And yeah casuals will eat anything up, but honestly that's more reason that a story mode wouldn't matter,with or without it casuals will play, all they gotta do is show an epic trailer and they're sold you know?

Lol the problem i have is the story was THAT bad. Almost like it was created by disney. I think the story would be less controversial if it a. Could be skipped and b. When the scenes are skipped they dont negatively effect your gameplay. That stuff along with no more scripted "missed free throws" and catching "the flu". If they implement this stuff for the guys who dont like cutscenes, then you wont hear another word out of me. And thats a promise. Because i do understand that some like cutscenes, but can we get something for the guys who dont?

Have you watched Disney sports movies before? For every Invincible you get a dozen cheesefests.

As for no-one asking for a story mode, no-one on OS maybe, the land of Crew and 'online gaming is king' but I myself wanted a story mode big-time and I bet so does the millions who don't frequent OS. The arrogance of some OS posters astounds me, just because you do not want something does not mean the rest of us agree with you.

Not to mention MyCareer was the most played mode on next-gen, so clearly their cheesy story was popular. It seems Mr. Springs, you're in the very small minority when it comes to MyCareer.

that face scan looks nothing like smoove. 2k needs more hairstyles. that line up is bad

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

Yeah, OkayC that's another problem the story had. It forces you to do things for the story for "drama" or whatever, rather than having the story adjust for things you do. Nobody likes a scripted, less controlled experience. Especially sim heads.

Like I said though, I'm not disagreeing, I'm only saying we're in the small minority that couldn't care less if there wasn't a story. All the Youtubers and people on social media talking about the story being cool, give a reason for 2K to add on and make new situations in the game.

It could be a good thing, because it means they'll pay more attention to the mode itself...fixing gameplay and glitches. So it's not all bad.

mc was the most played mode since its existence, not just on next gen. spring has a point, casuals are casuals, they'll be playing the game whether the cutscenes were here or not. Heck update graphics and give a cool trailer, and casuals wouldve drooled all over this game like they do every year. So i fail to see why 2k needed to go out of their way to appease a crowd they already own. And as someone who had followed other forums, youtube posts, etc i can't recall very many people if ever actually verbally stating they want cutscenes in this mode. And guess what even if they did say it, casuals would still be playin it. so no offense but your point is somewhat moot.

^Yeah, that's another problem the story had. It forces you to do things for the story for "drama" or whatever, rather than having the story adjust for things you do. Nobody likes a scripted, less controlled experience. Especially sim heads.

MyCareer is a distinctly non-simhead experience. It's a wish fulfillment mode, a proper simhead would never touch it, because it's not completely realistic.

Also, and I'm not sure if you know this, but 2ksports makes much more money from casuals than they do sim heads. For every poster who moans about a logo/jersey/court being wrong there's 100,000 casuals who couldn't give two craps as long as the game is fun.
