Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

I think 2k took away the ability to see your attributes in response to people re-creating their players outside of mycareer and realizing that their overalls were misrepresented lol.

A maxed out myplayer was really an 80 something overall outside of mycareer.

That is the only explanation that I have.

I know this was my first reaction, ever since 2k16. Remember when your rating would read one thing in MyCareer, but once you went to play Pro-Am, it'd display a completely different rating? Yeah, I was one of the first to figure out that Pro-Am was displaying your player's REAL rating, before 2k patched it.

Then came '17, but people were already hip to it. At that point, most people with common sense knew that our MyRolePlayers were nowhere near 99.

This just reeks of trying to hide it a third time.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

Why are people making up excuses for 2k? I find this tactic completely unacceptable especially when those stats will be available AFTER you spend the VC. They are taking advantage of addicts such as myself who just want to ball up with friends...

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

People are definitely overreacting, making out as if 2K are acting maliciously. They're probably just trying to encourage more organic & less numbersy sorta experience.

If you want to see your player attributes, why can't you just go look at your player profile? Or is there something i'm missing here? (I don't really play MyPlayer)

This is a poor excuse when certain ratings unlock different Signature Styles. Imagine making a Slasher and realizing AFTER spending VC that you're unable to unlock a certain dunk package due to the fact that your rating isn't high enough. You've just wasted VC and now have to start completely over to make the right build. UNACCEPTABLE


This whole road to 99 idea is a terrible one IMO...but I'll save that for another thread if/when the time come.

I like the road to 99 concept but there is one problem. The only people who will get there are the no lifers who play 2k all day everyday. This is all assuming that 99 = legend in 17. I will be lucky to get to 95 if all things work out and i dont have to create another players due to game patches/cheese that will come out.

this is so pathetic.

Mark my words, 2k will nerf the most popular archetype so people will be forced to create new ones and spend more money.

Shot Creators I'm looking at you guys.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

this is all i was trying to say a few weeks ago. personally ive hit the "nah 2k you tripping.." wall

the ONLY way this BS stops is if we dont buy the game new AND DONT BUY VC! if youre frustrated that is. if youre happy with the way the game is there is no need to reply or comment about those of us that are frustrated

more and more i see folks on here expressing the SAME EXACT things ph33 and I have been saying for about a month or so.

its HARD, but if youre really frustrated with how 2k is treating us, you have to say it with your dollar!

If youre that frustrated with 2k..

DONT BUY 2K NEW, DONT BUY VC

its the only way we'll be heard, otherwise - we're just venting

2k17 was the series I didn't spend any money on VC.

2k18 was going to be the series I holdout and buy after Christmas.

Now it's looking like I might just not buy the game at all let alone play it even if it's offered for free.

I'm with you here. I understand the situation is bigger than simply buying or kit buying: it's triggering what you actually stand for as an individual.

Do you support this company's business practices? Do you want to continue to see this business model prosper?

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

Not being able to see attributes while spending VC is honestly ridicolous no matter what

Word. My main gripe is patches that could ruin archetypes. Grinding your player to a 93-95 and a patch completely nerfs or ruins the build is going to suck if it happens. You pretty much gotta start from scratch. I know 2k devs have stated that they aren't making many changes this year but I have to see it to believe it. They tend to give in at some point smh.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

When they were working on the game, not one person bothered to point out "Hey...something's off here. Shouldn't our users see what it is they're upgrading to before they hit submit? Like they have every single year?" I'm sure someone pointed it out, but perhaps it was someone else's decision to omit. Either way, I don't think their intention was "More organic and less numbers".

People want to see what their player can get to with attributes, and this all becomes a big guessing game this year. For example, some dunks require 80 driving dunk. What happens if you create a guy hoping you can get that animation, but your max dunk is 79 and you don't find out till the end, after you spent all your VC? You are SOL in that situation.

It's incredulous.

How do we know the intended effect?

I couldn't imagine paying for a new PC but not knowing the specs until after my purchase [emoji44] but hey the package looked nice [emoji20]

Each level that unlocks a new ability should already be reveal that given ability during the purchase process and prior to confirming your purchase. These levels should atleast reveal what you are entitled to in animations. Example, "You will have access to contact dunks. You will have access to the highest level of speed-boosting. You will be able to hit greens from 3. You will be able to hit greens from limitless."

This would be good customer service. This is how you build trust and confidence in your customer. With so much on the line with these builds: we need to know exactly what we are investing our time and money into.

As De5m0n put it: it's become a lottery ticket purchase. You paying for a scratch and win reveal. It's got to change for any reasonable productivity and satisfaction to be yielded from this current MyCareer building process.

As it stand now: there is a much higher probability for failure and disappointment in the creation process than there has ever been.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

They're not gonna reply because they don't care and it was done on purpose lol.

Like. Wang is literally answering ppl on selective/specific builds down to height and weight but he won't say anything about this lol. Shameful.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

I'm reading this thread and I'm all...

Spoiler

Meanwhile, I, the guy who's literally autistic, is wondering why people don't just relax and have some fun.

It's not like this is the only mode in the game.

My rating in one stat caps at 79 instead of 94? Yay, more challenge for me!

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

It's not like this is the only mode in the game.

People in this thread are trying to make improvements to this mode, not other modes.

I don't know why you felt the need to bring other modes up.

Re: Inability to see attribute numbers on upgrade screen

Seems that everybody at 2k is conveniently ignoring the subject, as there's no doubt they would have seen the complaints about it by now. Sadly, that means that this is no accidental oversight. It is a deliberate big middle finger to their customers that says that they don't care about us in the slightest as long as they can milk as much money from us as possible. I get the fact that this is a business who is ultimately trying to make as much money as they can, but to go to this extreme with such a blatant disregard for their customers is insulting.

The fact that they want to turn 2k into an e-sport without telling players their attributes or max level on several badges is also quite humorous.
