Is the pre-game show with Ernie and Shaq before every game? If it is, I think it would be better to have it on 1 or 2 days a week so that people don't get sick of it so soon.

Re: NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game
If people really have an issue with the story based MyCareer, why don't you use the upgraded create a player and MyLeague to your advatage?
If you really want things to be realistic, start a 30-team MyLeague and place your created self in the draft pool (or straight on a team if you'd like to choose your destination), come draft time see what team selects you and then just start your career that way. When you play a game set your preferred position to whatever you are when you're on the court and then control the team when you're off, you can realistically progress your skills as well if you have the discipline and then have a hand in all transactions involving you. It's a lot of work, but if you really want the barebones non-story driven MyCareer, it's what you're going to have to do to get the most realism out of it.
That being said, it's frustrating that 2K hasn't been able to produce a realistic career mode experience and that I've been forced to create my own via Association/MyLeague for so long. The fact that you cannot sim to your next appearance is a bit of a bear as well (I usually create a player in the mid to high 70s so I don't sit too much, but imagine how tough it would be for guys who want to go late or undrafted, or even want to be career role players/sixth men.)
I get that MyCareer as it exists now is probably here to say. While I don't quite understand the appeal I recognize that a lot of people like, so I won't bash the mode or the people that enjoy it. Just hope people who want a more 'simulation' (? the use of the word is becoming weird on these boards) experience can look forward to a Connected MyLeague or something of that nature moving forward.Comment

Re: NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game
I love how they're working on MyCareer a ton, but I still the the undrafted thing and the Rivers thing is a bit much.
However, I think this year is a bit of a "growing" year for 2K on the next gen consoles. I am making a bold prediction but I think that next year you will have certain options for the storyline (EX undrafted, first rd, second rd, etc) and there will be several changes that will be for the better.PSN: Moss394463Comment

This is all great but I think the way players progress in MyCareer should be similar to that of FIFA's progression system. Instead of earning points you have to complete certain goals to increase your attributes. For example, If you score 20 points in one game that is +2 to your shoot, and if you get 10 assist in one game that's +2 for assist. Just something to keep in mind next year.Comment

"You choose which team to try out for, but you must keep in mind what the depth chart looks like. A handy hub screen gives you a quick glance at the current depth chart as well as the grade you'll need to reach to receive a job offer. If you want to crack the roster of a great team with depth, you will need to have a lights-out performance."

Re: Game Informer: 44 Things We Know about NBA 2K15
I believe Doc is the only coach who did a voice session so thats why.
People need to start thinking of this more as a story mode and not a career simulator. In a story mode, you have to interact with the players and have to be involved in the events the mode has. You have limited control over what happens in the mode other than the games you play and choices the mode allows you to make.
Rivalries, bonds with coaches, feuds with upper management and interactions with the media can all add to the story while affecting what happens on the court without handcuffing the user.
People scoff at the idea of simulation in MyCareer, but it's potentially the most realistic mode. After all, you don't control 5 people when you play ball in real life. You do the best you can and hope that's enough to contribute to a win. The different emotions based on your teammates good/bad performances is unique to MyCareer and shouldn't be so easily replaced with a script.
An NBA Career Simulator is a mode worth fighting for, worth speaking up for. The more 2k takes this mode out of people's hands, the less tolerant customers will be for bad storytelling and directing.
Without being belligerent, insulting or dismissive, I'm frankly stating that I don't like the nature and philosophy that MyCareer is taking. You can still have cutscenes with a branching path that has more(not unlimited) player freedom and relies mostly on gameplay.Comment

Re: NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game
While I'm a diehard offline-MyLEAGUE fan, I'm shocked none of my online-counterparts have brought this up yet. Not knowing how online leagues work at all, what does "regular online league" mean?
MyLeague is not online this year, but 2K hopes to add this functionality in the future You can, however, still play in a regular online league.Comment

Re: NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game
I'm still hyped up, but I had the feeling there would be something in the game that people would have problems with. I hope this Rivers thing was it and not something worse.
I like the undrafted aspect, as well as fighting for a contract, but the Rivers thing is a bit much.Comment

Re: NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game
I can see both sides of the argument. I can see how it would take away from the realism, but it isn't going to discourage me from playing the mode."Do or do not, there is no try."

Re: NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game
It's neat, but again, it feels force because I know there is no way in hell he'd coach a team like the Kings or Hawks. Since we start in January and will get FA couldn't they have just had him try to recruit us to the Clippers HARD and he gives us certain things over going to another team(kind of like if you chose to stay with your friend or go with another agent in 2k14).Comment
