    They wanted that changed, no one paid attention at first tho lol

      Look alright......none of this matters if the coaching logic is still God awful and I'm being subbed in the game with 2.4 seconds left in a blow out

        Of course there's a set path. How would you prefer it? You're an average high school player who can't make it as a starter at a low college team and doesn't even get considered for professional basketball?

        This looks like being one of the most immersive and deep 'be a player' modes in a sports title. We can choose our endorsements, we have to make personal connections with people, and through them, connections with other people. We have to practise to become better players, we have to balance our contractual obligations with our playing ones. I really don't know what people want from a game. It's essentially two games, you have basketball in one half and some kind of Sims style thing in the other.

          By choosing your endorsements you mean simply just doing all of them as they unlock in order as displayed by the video. You're fooling yourself if you think you won't be able to have everything unlocked by your 4th or 5th season like in 2k15.

          The facade of choice is enticing but in the end it's just that. A facade.

          Now granted, everything we've seen is an objective improvement over last year but let's not get carried away here thinking this is some incredible journey filled with meaningful choices because you will certainly let yourself down.

            I have a unique name (not in database), so in-game I get called by my nickname. If I need to be "Frequency Vibrations" for the purpose of story dialogue, I can certainly live with that, but I 100% agree with those who hate the nickname. Not a deal breaker by any stretch (for me, at least), but hopefully there's an option to "re-brand" or something when I reach the NBA, so I can go back to being boring ol' "P" in-game...lol.

            In any case, we knew about the goofy nickname from the jump, so I am already past that. The rest looks awesome and I'm excited to check it out. I'm MyLeague first and foremost, but 2K continues to impress me with the depth they go for with all these modes.

              Wait,

              So what happens after we make the league will there be cut scenes still or what?

              90 minutes of cutscenes prior to even making it to the NBA damn thats like a whole game right there.

              Hopefully we get some info this week on it. These cliffhangers are killing me.

                But, if they want to go the story-route than actually having a good story that's not like a Disney film than I'm okay with it. I was interested in the whole trailer and I wanna see what it's about. For the most part I play just to get my overall and badges for Pro-Am but if there's a cool backstory as well than it only makes grinding more fun...

                Sad I can't bring back Mo "Money" Banks but hey I'll think of something lol
                I have a couple names so far,
                O. "Freq" Mebaby
                Greek "Freq" Spanoulis

                    Spike Lee always has crazy names for people in his stuff.

                    He actually had a character named Doo-Doo Breath in School Daze.

                    Doo-Doo Breath!

                    If you guys think Frequency Vibrations is bad, here is a quick list of names Spike has used for people in his movies:

                    Doo-Doo Breath(!!)
                    Sweet Dick Willie
                    Big Time Willie
                    Geronimo Armstrong
                    Radio Raheem
                    Sahara Paysinger


                    And last, but not least: Seneschal Higginbottom

                    Be happy they're calling you "Freq" or "Freak" in this and not running around proclaiming you "Doo-Doo".
                    To be fair Doo Doo Breath was the nickname they called one of the dudes trying to be in the frat and Radio Raheem isn't a bad nickname. But yea I agree with you seeing this comment made me look at this new nickname a little more positively.

                      If this plays like a movie I expect an ending. Either career ending, prison or retire happily. Either way it should yield 200,000 vc in the end.

                        Questions I have still:

                        1. Can we customize our players bodies or do we still select a "body type?"
                        2. Do the improvements to the AI in other modes translate to our coach? (Sub patterns, match ups, etc.)
                        3. What role does VC still have?

                          You won't distribute points like normal my player but you will get better more organically from how effective you are on the court.
                          I would suggest playing that way if you are interested in the improvement of gameplay but don't want the story. That is what I will do in addition to my only playing Anthony Davis only Pelicans franchise.

                          P.S. I know you from Pelicansreport i'm jruedat there.
                          This actually sounds like a solid solution. Honestly I prefer the more organic approach to player development and have been calling for it in MYPlayer for some time now.

                            I don't like how everyone is pretty much gonna end up having the same storyline.
                            Not really liking the whole getting forced to be a star storyline what If I want to be a sixth man role player? or a 2nd rounder?
                            I'm not really a big fan of all this story stuff I liked the simple answer questions at the press conference stuff like in 2k11-2k13 if they could have expanded that it would have been awesome(Locker room interviews, free agency interview,etc..)

                            If you're gonna have a story great but at least give us some options and stuff I don't want the same linear path like everyone else.

                            We still don't know much about this mode though so I can't really say much about it lets wait until they give us more information and clear it all up.

                              Not only being different, but a mode with forced storylines really have no replay value.

                              Not sure why so many people are upset at other people opinions. If somebody don't want to play a game called "Freq" or whatever why is it your job to tell them it's not a big deal? The reason you play BAP modes is likely completely different than the next person. Personally it looks like I'll pass on MYPlayer not necessarily because of the nickname. However why would I want to make a player in my image (with my actual image) to have him referred to by a name I would never identify by?
