So I can't make a Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Kevin Durant in MyCareer

[Jhawkfootball06]

These attribute caps need to go. Nobody wants to make a mediocre player. The whole purpose of MyCareer is to become the greatest ever.

Why can't I make a 6'6" balanced shooting guard (Kobe/MJ) with great speed, tremendous finishing, and the ability to light people up from mid range?

Why can't I make a 6'10" SF (KD) that can drill the three and still surprise people with his speed and athleticism.

Why can't I make a 6'8" SF (LBJ) with tremendous speed, inside scoring ability, and be able to hit the mid-range and the open three?

A 6'1" PG speed is capped at 87!
A 6'5" PG speed is capped at 82!
A 6'6" SG speed is capped at 80!
A 6'8" SF speed is capped at 77!

I can't even make a player like Russell Westbrook. Can't even make a player like Dominique Wilkins. Can't even make a player like Julius Erving. Can't even make a player like Magic Johnson. Can't even make a player like Clyde Drexler. Can't even make a player like James Worthy.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I think the post is a bit dramatic but I definitely agree with your sentiment. I only play career (&park), but I haven't played a career game for a while, and I don't really have any motivation to do so.

After all was said and done with 2k15, I got through loads of careers - some I maxed my dude out, others I dropped or got bored with, but I'm not sure I'll get to the end of my first full season on one career before 2k17 arrives.

I know people love to say how amazing this game is, although most of those get to tweak sliders to their own liking, but career for me is not that enjoyable this year. I think my dude is of a good enough level now that I can cope in park without any further upgrade bars, especially ones that take 5 practices (so at least 10 games played) for each one earned.

I'm hoping I'll get back into it again, but not sure I will.

Lol my 6'6 balanced SG is a 89 overall role player. I was expecting a balanced SG to get 82-83 standing 3, 80-85 ball control and 85-94 speed.

My 6'5 balanced PG feels like Westbrook, but I agree that SG and SF are too weak.

I get what you're saying but, your comments couldn't be more wrong for me. I would actually hate being a superstar like Kobe or Michael.

I'm not mediocre but I will be a career, average 10-17 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists a game. I enjoy this a lot more.

The easy answer is because of the Park. Last year, if you weren't a 7' SF or a glitched 7' point guard, you were doing it wrong. This year, there is no real demigod position or build, though centers and point guards are a little ahead of the other three positions right now. They had to put in caps in park to keep the demigods away.

I would be highly in favor of normalizing attributes/height in the park by position to put players on even footing and making the MyCareer mode entirely offline, but that doesn't drive VC purchases.

FWIW, with practice sessions and boosts, you can get gaudy attributes from game to game in MyCareer. As a balanced SF, I just broke the single-game three point record going 13 of 16 from downtown with a 15 point practice boost and a 5 point VC boost. I can get my speed up into the mid-80s (Lebron range.) The key is to play to your practice strengths from game to game.

Exactly. I want to average, as a PG, 17-5-7 throughout my career, which I hope lasts until I'm 40, but I also hope to peak at 24-8-11 on 54/31/90 shooting percentages considering I'm inside scoring PG.

I think the real flaw is that there are caps on individual stats.

Instead, cap the overall total numbers of boosts, with boosting some stats costing more 'boosts' from the pool.

So for example a 3 point shooting center (like Myles Leonard) should be possible, but his corresponding 'center' stats like defense and rebounding won't be nearly as good, and his overall attribute balance won't be as efficient.

Can't agree with this post, for mycareer I only upgraded to a 78 ovr yet I can still manage to play like a superstar on HOF. Its all about your skills in the game, you dont need 90+ ratings in all areas to play like a superstar.

For Mypark and Pro-am wise it was terrible last year when everyone was a demigod. It allows the online portion of your player more competitive and balanced.

Offline wise like i said, you can dominate the cpu no matter what your ratings are. Asking to have high speed with dunking and 3pt abilities just sounds like a cheeser imo.

When everyone was all these players in one last year the park was horrible

Re: So I can't make a Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Kevin Durant in MyCa

You can, just go to practice regularly and you'll be able to play most games with high stats using the free boosts. My 6'3 balanced PG avarages 99 speed 99 on three 90 dunk 90+ layup and best of all 90+ offensive consistancy. Last year your offensive consistancy was 50 max

There really needs to be separate progressions for online & offline

You can't average 30, 5, and 5 or 26, 8, and 8 in MyCareer without 99 ratings? Against the CPU?

OS is almost becoming unbearable with all these kids complaining about MyPlayer caps...

Most haven't even maxed out their player & actually Played at their cap to see how he plays like.

Everyone just wants superstar players without having to have superstar skills... smh.

Kids? So just because somebody doesn't agree with you on a forum they are now considered childish?

The stats don't matter. I never mentioned stats in my original post. You can be a 75 overall and get those stats. The play styles matter.
