"My Player" concerns

Re: "My Player" concerns

We know there are no user trade demands, but are there trades at all? can you be traded midseason?

I guess you can't, as it could mess the whole league with having only one year contracts. Let's say you are traded from team A to B in exchange of a player with 3 years remaining, while your contract is always one year. The team getting you for only one year is the losing part in most of those possible trades.

If we're looking at things realistically, a player could be included in a trade as a filler since we'll likely have small contracts at first. Or if you have a larger 1 year contract the other team could just be salary dumping a player for you. Then again, I'm not sure this kind of cap management is in the franchise mode to begin with.

I have to agree with other posters though. No multi-year contracts, not being traded (possibly?), or hiring agents to get you that big contract is a let down. A huge part of the NBA is knowing you could have a new home at any time so that should be reflected here as well.

Besides, how am I supposed to get my Jerome James on with only 1 year deals?

Re: "My Player" concerns

I understand the concern but if your playing good enough you can just easily resign with ur last team no biggie no need for multiple years and to start negotiating for imaginary money

Re: "My Player" concerns

options

2k should have put in th option to play this mode more realistically. 1 yr conttracts kinda lame, imo.maybe next yr

Re: "My Player" concerns

Nope, only one year deals. Basically you'll just be a free agent after each year and can go decide which team you want to play for, based of the offers you get.

IMO I think it could hurt the mode pretty badly. Part of making it to the NBA is signing the big contract. Them not having multi-year deals completely goes against everything they're saying the mode is.

Okay, so you want the person to be able to play for his favorite team? Maybe you should make the mode have multi-year deals and also be able to request a trade. This is a mode that's suppose to resemble the 'real NBA experience', maybe that person should just wait until their contract is up to try and sign with their favorite team.

I hope they seriously look into changing this for 2k11, although I haven't even played the game, I already know it'd be better with contracts, agents, ect.

And before someone says maybe the NBA didn't allow them to having players demand trades (I might of read this somewhere). Load of BS, in 2k9 the team chemistry feature had players demanding trades if they were unhappy. Should be the same in the My Player mode.

Yea...I downloaded the combine, played through the game, and then stumbled upon this info a few days ago.

Needless to say I was thoroughly pissed about there being no multi-year deals, agents, etc.

I really don't know how much of this mode I'll play now...Probably just enough to unlock the achievements for it, and move on to my association.

If the intent/design choice is to keep this mode like this than you can bet I'll likely never play it. Seriously...who decides it's a good design choice to recieve one year contracts every season, and no agents/trades/etc.

Re: "My Player" concerns

I don't see how the mode could be put together like this, without long-term contracts.

Re: "My Player" concerns

I think it's bad that they allow us to control all 30 teams this year in Dynasty mode and you can make all sorts of deals. And i'm sure you can do multi-year deals. But when it comes to their Grand feature they can't add that in and allow this? that's bogus man

You just don't understand. I will leave it at that

Re: "My Player" concerns

So in real life every person screams that if a good player gets drafted by a bad team, "can't wait for him to get outta there" but in the videogame we want to stay on the bad team for years.

Sidenote: why wouldn't you believe them if they said the nba didn't want players demanding trades?

Explain to me then. I am not saying that it's a bad thing to control 30 teams because i think it's awesome that they have this feature. But if you can control all thirty teams i'm sure we are allowed to resign people right? isn't the whole dynasty thing about dealing with the finanaces and players in order to build a dynasty? so why not add the ability to resign people for multi-year deals? I'm not talking about controlling all 30 teams in the My Player mode.

If there is something i am missing then tell me and don't beat around. We are having a conversation, not a game where i have to guess what you are saying. You will have to explain yourself. 2K should have thought about everything when it came to this mode and they didn't.

But i don't think you can decide to resign, that's their decision whether they decide to ask or not. If you don't get asked, even with incredible numbers that would suck. I can see this situation happen already. Only because things like this exist in games. For example, not getting an MVP award when you were clearly the most valuable and had the best stats and team record.

That seems to be thinking here.

You know how you avoid this? You give the user an option for long-term contracts. If you get stuck on the Bobcats, then you deal with it.

Problem solved.

Re: "My Player" concerns

Or just give us a button to "become FA at the end of season".

I would like to have real NBA rules contracts, even if ti sucks to be a crap team after the draft, that is what i call realism, to play the best you can to become the star of that bad team and who knows, maybe at the end of the year you can help them to become better and to attract better FA's. Else once your contract is over, you can decide where to go like in real life.

I like how they make you to start being just a 2nd rounder instead of like other games where you start as the top player, so you need to work your way up, but then they break the realism with allowing you to become FA after every season.

Again i think it could mess with the team finances in the long term if you are the only player in the league who do not follow the NBA contract rules that the rest of players and teams do.

Re: "My Player" concerns

They have to have something to fix for next year, otherwise nobody will buy 2K11.

Re: "My Player" concerns

^^ Wut? Not everyone is concerned with this! So its ridicoulous to even say that nobody will buy 2k11 because of this lol
