Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More
This is hog-wash.
Maybe it is because I have professional-level sport people in my family but "pretending" to be a super-star is something that is pure fantastical to me. No matter how hard I try, there is no way I can imitate being Kobe with any hope of sim-head realism. My being "transported" somehow into the NBA experience and having the talent others have is something I can get immersed into.
It is far from realistic to presume anyone can pretend to be another actual star in 2k, as realistic as it is. Hell, even Stephan Curry couldn't figure out 2k's Stephan Curry's jump-shot!
Some of us wanna be superstars, some want to be a 6th man (no idea why), some wanna be journeymen, some want to play for their team and lead them to the promised land. The devs have to write a story that will enjoyed by the most people, invariably that means become a superstar, unless they throw more resources at it, that'll be the general path a story takes.Comment

What you mean is it changes how you have to approach games. And I agree, it shouldn't give you crazy goals in game that you have to meet or else they take your minutes away.
It should be based more around your teammate grade if anything, I don't think it would be as frustrating and play less like an arcade cheese fest where you gotta jack up 40 shots in a game.I don't wanna be Jordan, I don't wanna be Bird or Isiah, I don't wanna be any of those guys.
I want to look in the mirror and say I did it my way.

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. My point was that a player being transported into the NBA to play his career is not a sim head type deal, as you pointed out. My idea of a proper sim-head is someone who wants every single facet of the game to be 100% realistic, playing a wish fulfillment mode is anathema to that.

I don't doubt plenty of crazy stuff goes down in the locker room, but there's a line of plausibility to be drawn. Maybe an NBA player would show up at a team meeting with a clown nose, but not an official postgame press conference, and the idea of a rookie totally going against a coach's gameplan to ballhog because of a bet isn't that realistic either, as that rookie would get benched quick
Oh and this blows apart anyone saying a red nose would never happen.Comment

As long as there's a story it will probably be a cheesy (as Drake said) "started from the bottom now we here" kinda story. Because everyone wants to be Lebron/Kobe kinda guy.
It actually defeats the purpose when you create your player as a Defensive player, and have to score 10 points in the showcase in the first quarter. If they make it more specific and say get 2 steals/blocks it would be a lot better.
Maybe if they added player type specific goals it would help...I don't wanna be Jordan, I don't wanna be Bird or Isiah, I don't wanna be any of those guys.

If this is the definition of a "sim head", I want absolutely no part of it.Comment

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More
I think this is where some of us disagree. mycareer can be for simheads. Because its SIMULATING, what you would want to do as a basketball player. just because the CONCEPT sounds fake, doesn't mean it can't have a real approach to it. And i think thats the point your missing
Just another My Career issue I hope they fixed before the story.I don't wanna be Jordan, I don't wanna be Bird or Isiah, I don't wanna be any of those guys.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More
This i agree with. stuff like take over the game, or score 10 points straight for your team, and whatever the other goals are do make it a challenge at times. I always hated dynamic goals in general tho.Lakers

Playing 2K itself in any mode is wish fulfillment. This is not unique to MyCareer. Wanting sim-head gameplay, team development, proper positional drafting and everything else we love on this forum is the core of being a sim-head, not if you desire to play yourself instead of fantasitically pretending to be a person you are not.Comment
