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

    Everyone sits there and claims to have this beautiful vision of this unique player they'll build and they promise if they could have 90 speed 90 inside stats and 90 outside stats they would choose not to do that. They would pick 90 3pt and 90 speed but not 90 dunk. They'll balance themselves! Well in 2k11 we were able to do that. Build the player exactly as you wanted them. But what really happened was everybody went far beyond the system and made 7'11 players and 8'5 players with all 99s. People then made 6'8 SFs with all 99s. Everyone was all 99. Without limitations we always go to the maximum.

    History shows when given freedom to make a basketball identity the majority of people will make an overall player who can do everything. They won't specialize. This is an MMO RPG now. If you choose a Mage you shoot spells. You're not allowed to have heavy armor and use an axe. If you want that you have to make a warrior,. This is the only way to achieve balance in a competitive digital environment. In real life these restrictions are in place by physical limitations and ability. On a video game the developer has to limit it. These are now classes we play. Player who excel are able to play around their limits. But regardless a warrior cannot cast a spell. A center the warrior in this example is not allowed to shoot 3s as a Mage would.

    Many people have the desire to make Lebron like players but that character class is not available and that's strictly in place for balance.

    Why do people want to actively break the more balanced system? They haven't perfected the cap system yet and maybe they can tweak it through patchwork or something more dynamic this year but they've designed 15 classes with multiple caps around several different heights.

    If they adjust the gameplay some I think the system online is mostly solid. There's probably less complaining about 70 ball control cap on SF if it didn't equal a turnover for some immediately.
    We could argue maybe those turnovers are due to lack of skill. Who knows?

    We should mostly be discussing gameplay. Not caps. The caps don't really seem to stop a player or even really determine how a person plays.

    I have a SF on my team with 84 or something rebounding but he's never in position to get a rebound. He doesn't go into the paint to try for them. Does this mean I should raise his rebounding cap to 94? That won't suddenly make him get more rebounds.

    The cap system has to coincide with player skill. So try to remember if your not able to do something it may be a WILL issue and not a skill issue.

      My favorite thing about these threads is that there weren't too many of these when the glitch still worked. This used to be a sim community but it's looking more and more like the cheesers found our hang out.

        I don't play in the park so I can't say what it was like. I mainly play My Career and over the last few years I've replicated players like MJ, Penny and T-Mac, both in name and abilities. I've got a MJ clone waiting on my other account. Made him to look as close to MJ as I could but have not played him yet because his attributes will not be as good as the real MJ. I just scrapped the idea of making a superstar right now and just made the best possible player I could with what we have.

          That has nothing to do with the game being sim.

          If you haven't noticed 2K gives us far more customisation in other modes.

            The attributes can be as good if you use your off-days for practice. The temporary boosts from practice (+15 to up to six different attributes and +3 to another three to six depending on the alternate drills) are meant to cover the lower static overalls in the game.

            My all-around SF is a middling three point shooter with a 75 max three point shot. A +5 VC boost and 15 to standing threes from practice and I had a 95 standing three, and I could see the difference in-game.

            Ideally, the two modes would be separate. The practice boosts seem like a decent bandaid fix. It makes me play to my practice strengths for the game (driving, threes, mid-range jumpers.)

              I don't wanna be lebron, i wanna beat lebron. So what's lebrons Achilles heel? Kahwi. I can be kahwi, that's good enough for me.

                So players who want to have customization when it comes to playstyles
                OFFLINE are cheesers who are mad because they can't cheese anymore?

                Man these Park players igonoring the fact that myCareer players
                who want more freedom DON'T CARE about the park and using the
                Park Cheese from recent years as an argument to defend the caps
                are driving me crazy

                How about cutting the cheese online and add customization to
                offline myCareers to make sure EVERY player can play the way
                they want? Must be horrible for you guys to see people ask for
                options that are NOT EVEN SUPPOSED to affect you.

                    I'm really happy that the park is playable, enjoyable now but speaking of those sg/sf caps, you can't even make a Gordon Hayward in this mode.

                      Amen!

                      I hate MyPark because many people have low ball IQ and play it like a one on one match.

                      I love MyCareer because it's a team game. Don't punish me for a mode I don't play.

                        This is my 3rd time saying this. The only thing i agree with is speed. Speed should be adjusted. But every point i have made already still applies to the other caps. NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA HAS BEEN THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE AT EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME SIMULTANEOUSLY. lebron isn't even the most freakishly talented player anymore. Anthony Davis is widely viewed as the most dominant player in the league, and if not just yet, will be this year or next. He's about as good as lebron at everything except shooting. But he's also almost 6 inches taller with a freakish wingspan.

                        So guess what? You can't make lebron because his speed, but a balanced Anthony Davis type is extremely possible.

                          Why can't I make a young Kobe? Or a Dominique Wilkins? Or even a Russell Westbrook? I can't even make a freaking Carmelo Anthony for that matter.

                            we get incredible, ridiculous customization for these MyLeague modes, the same should be extended to the single-player portion of MyCareer.

                            If, in MyCareer I want to be Jordan, LeBron, Dominique, Spud Webb, whoever, caps that are focused for online shouldn't prevent me from doing so.

                              YES YOU F-ING CAN!

                              Young kobe didn't have lebrons speed, he was QUICK not FAST. Wilkins was athletic, never a great shooter, westbrook is faster than me by 12 points bit I'm the same height and dominate him on allstar cuz i know he can't shoot. Melo is probably the EASIEST to recreate on your list. An inside scorer at 6'7 when max jumper, inside scoring, and halfway on anything else.



                              Name any player in the nba I'll tell you how to recreate his production, maybe not his stats.

                                what if I want to create a 7'3" center who shoots threes like ray allen? Impossible with caps

                                and there's zero argument against it since we've been saying (from the beginning) that this should only apply to the single player portion of MyCareer. When you go on the park or pro-am or whatever, sure, let the caps apply. But not in my own NBA universe where I should have 100% unlimited customization
