Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

I believe this has more to do with cheesers. Not wanting them to see attributes off rip. Although we are still getting million of videos about "OMG BEST ARCHETYPE TO MAKE [emoji33][emoji33][emoji87][emoji87]". I feel like this was to stop everyone from making same myplayer

Maybe so, but that means this is a them problem and that the system they've created is flawed, not a consumer problem.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

It actually favors the cheesers , because some more casual people won't bother carefully checking attribute/badge distribution and more likely to make non optimal player build . And its not like 2k could pull it off so perfectly with ALL combinations equally good, it just not gonna happen.

Yea it can favor the cheesers, I'm not too sure they thought it all the way through. We should be able to check our attributes as we upgrade.

Yea you are right we shouldn't have to suffer for their mess ups.

Let's be real a good portion of us are gonna spend the money on VC to upgrade our players anyway, there's literally no reason not to show us the potential attributes.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

The fact is that this adds to the 2k tradition of pretending that I spend time (and eventually money) in the game for upgrading MyPlayer without knowing which the reward will be.


For istance, do you think it's normal that I'm supposed to grind for upgrading badges without knowing the differences between a silver dimer and a gold dimer?


it's like the witcher 3 asking me to buy weapons or spend slots for upgrading skills without seeing their stats and effects.


pure nonsense, if you ask me.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

Again, it's not just the change, it's the lack of communication that always feels shady. Gotta please those shareholders, right though 2K?

I'm bracing myself to see what hidden scams they have added to MyTeam that haven't been documented yet as well... Sigh.

2K's stock put in a nice return for me over the last few months. Seriously.

I think it's deeper than stock prices for me. I've always thought 2K's crew had more integrity than this.

Perhaps they are still trying to find the right words.

You guys are smart enough to know that whatever reason they changed it there is a bigger reason why the explanation isn't as simple as Beluba coming on the forums and saying "Hey guys, we changed it because of x...."

I'm also sure there is nothing "sinister" behind why the change was made. I also have faith that that development team thought of these scenarios when making that change being that spending VC is a huge reason why people play MyCareer.

And truthfully I never even noticed the issue until this thread was brought up.

Can you think of a plausible reason to hide that information that you think we should find acceptable? Like I mentioned in my first post, this isn't a change that happened to serve some greater good somewhere else. The only thing it accomplishes is giving the player less information when spending money on their game. You might have "faith" that there's nothing sinister about that, but the rest of us live in the real world.

I'm pretty sure the 'bigger' and 'sinister' reasons are one and the same - greed.

If it was an oversight they wouldn't be saying 'just make your build however you want' and also answering on twitter 'what speed for speed boosting' and if they took it out intentionally with no desire to patch it they are straight up scamming their customers.

I can't understand what grounds they could offer up that would make this sort of action justifiable in anyone's eyes.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

Yeah its stupid an inexcusable to not know the ratings beforehand. If I knew the ratings then I would be able to choose my archetypes more accurately instead of shooting in the dark and hoping I dont grind to earn VC before realizing I picked the wrong archetype combinations.

2k are massive money grubbers.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

replies above explained it perfectly.

hiding attributes has no alternative reasoning except maximizing vc purchases.

I thought myteam was a money grabbing mode but mycareer is catching up fast with all these greedy decisions.

I fear for what will be next in 19 and on.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

Any way you want to slice it, they've been pushing the boundaries more and more with each passing year. You all already know what I speak of so I don't need to list it again. I feel like they're just daring us not to buy the game at this point. Last year was the first time I really felt like a sucker, but I just put up with it because I figured eh, this is all I play, so whatever. I'm just a voiceless cog in the consumer machine.

But man, this year, I reached that point where enough's enough. I feel like whoever is in charge of these micros has completely lost touch with their loyal consumers. And I hope our voices do get heard. I've been buying their games day 1 since 2k6, it would have taken a lot for me to abandon giving them money. But here we are.

At this point I'm just hoping to at least hear something about this from them in the next week or two. Damn it 2k, I want to buy your game. But they just had to take it here.

Exactly where I stand. If there were any good games that fit my needs, I would cancel my preorder. Anyway, I'm making 1 player and if he sucks then f it, ill just stop playing.

and they can manipulate those attribute rates with a stealth patch whenever they want.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

Well, the fact that 2k devs just tweeted a chart of guard builds that "can get to 86/90 ballcontroll rating" (which unlocks speedboosting/elite tier dribbles) basically admiting its a atrocious design choice, that has no explanation.

Except very obvious one $$$.

Does not solves any other builds issues that have caps for dunking etc (or variations based on weight).

Very bad taste, either way it goes from here.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

The chart refers only to guards or forwards too?
