    I agree. They make almost every endorsement available to be achieved within rookie year. After you've gotten all those and can dominate the league in every fashion there's not much to play for.

    There needs to be something more to keep you engaged for 8-10 seasons besides just the hall of fame progress. There's a lot of little things that can be done to extend playability, such as letting us sim the calendar to whichever games we want, letting us use alternate and throwback jerseys, a lot more with endorsements, having endorsement contracts, and real contracts, making it harder to improve your players attributes but at the same time starting your career with a little better attributes. Maybe even making attributes in the game purely dynamic, so your attributes are calculated by your stats and game performance. Letting us switch between endorsements, if I'm a Nike guy why can't I switch to Jordan brand after a few seasons, create more shoes such as all star games, playoffs, Christmas day, etc.

    There's a lot they can do to improve the game by just adding a lot of little things.

    Even stuff like making 2 or 3 different broadcast types with a 2k, espn, and TNT. Having a local broadcast team come in and record to have multiple announce teams saving the big team for big games, key games and playoffs. Adding practice, summer training, summer leagues, pre season, adding all of all star weekend, make it so we can actually play in the all star game for more than 8 mins.

    They just simply need to add some new and more features to help longevity to keep the game fresh. Because hall of fame progress and trying to become friends with all the legends and nba players on twitter is not enough. Even let us actually use twitter if it's gonna be in the game, maybe use it to create rivalries and to recruit free agents, let us view the draft and off season transactions so we know what our team is doing. Have teams trade us without our knowledge if the team feels we are not the right fit.

    Just simply make the game more interesting to keep us engaged.

      I enjoy chasing championships and playing with new teammates and sometimes teams. I am going into the playoffs in my second season and I can see doing a few more years. I do agree though, that there could be ways to improve the longevity in the game. Hopefully with the gent generation game systems like the PS4 they can do a lot more.

      MLB - Seattle Mariners

      MLS - Seattle Sounders

        I completely agree it just gets boring when my rookie is allowed to be more dominant then KD and Lebron together

        They should have put certain limits like in our rookie season you should only be able to get stats up to 75-80 not boost everything up to high 90's

          Small issue with Portland in the 2nd season. Took them to the NBA finals last season and for God knows what reason, i've started the year on the bench and their playing LaMarcus at C and Freeland(?!?!) at PF. What gives?

            Just wondering if anyone else noticed this...

            Made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs and noticed that BOTH number 2 seeds in the east and west were eliminated in 7 games

            the thunder was ousted by the timberwolves and the knicks were bounced by the pistons

            just wondering if anyone else has seen the 2 seeds bounced in the first round?

            hoping this aint a glitch and just something that happened...but BOTH 2 seeds outed in the same round with the same number of games?

            questionable

              Hey guys I am about to start a center... I think I am gonna go with Athletic, it has the best starting attributes by far. What do you suggest me do in the early games?

                I agree with the idea of playing for championships and different teammates. That does help a lot. When I played association I would trade half my team every season for this reason lol.

                As for the next gen theory, it won't happen. The first game that comes out will most likely have less features or maybe the same, this happens on every new system because they essentially have recode everything to the new format which doesn't allow much improvement.

                As far as future editions go on the new gen, you have to remember, the only reason the next gen systems are coming out is for money purposes of the system manufacturers. There are no games on the market that even fully use the capabilities of the systems that are currently out, especially the ps3(this is not a stab at Xbox, Xbox fans, I play both systems, it's just fact the ps3 capabilities with the processors and everything that goes into the games the ps3 has more capabilities) Most games don't even come close to using the full capabilities of either system. The fact is, if you put a team on this game for 2 solid years to get all the code figured out and written correctly you could have this game plus every wish that is on the wishlist, even the most complicated ones in this game and all of it free of bugs. Our current systems can pretty much do anything you want them to. The reason the games are made the way they are is because there's only so much they can actually improve year to year, also the sales declare how big the team is assigned to the development. And let's be honest, it comes down to money, if they made the perfect game with everything we wanted there would be no reason for us to buy future editions of the games, all we would need is roster updates.

                I like this idea, how about doing a college tournament (not NCAA just generic due to license requirements) then have combine and if they want, the rookie showcase and your ratings are based on your performance in all that, which then translates along with your teammate grade to your draft spot.

                From there your ratings improve or decrease at the end of each regular season and after summer camp each year and the ratings boosts as well as signature skills are based solely on your play. If you shoot lights out from 3 your 3's go up, if you tend to take over games in the 4th you get closer skill. Essentially sig skills are more of a description of how you play, you lead league in assists you may get dimer and floor general. At the same time if you miss a lot of free throws or layups, those attributes go down essentially making it harder for you to make those shots the next season. And you have caps from year to year like you said above.

                Something more dynamic like this I think would go a long way in giving the game a little different feel and ultimately freshening up the game a little.

                    You are correct. If you go back to 2k10 when this mode was debuted, you'd understand why things like Teammate grades and development of attributes are so accelerated.

                    Crew

                    Originally, MyPlayer was meant as just a gateway to get people to develop their player for Crew - and as such, basic mechanics are being twisted now as 2k attempts to grow the mode beyond the original concept.

                    As I stated 100's of pages before - I really think they need to separate the offline from the online in the game - overlapping concerns and demands just cause grief and conflict.

                    The best way of portraying attributes would be the way they do it for the ai players ... you have set attributes for an entire season, then they go up/down in the offseason and then you have a new set of attributes in the second season.

                    Of course, that would cause problems for blacktop/crew mode importation; yet that is exactly what they should do.

                      Max out Layup and shot inside as soon as possible. You'll probably have a good rebounding stat so learn how to box out (on PS3 press L2 and the direction) and get your timings right to jump on the rebounds.

                      That alone should get you a few double-doubles. As for signature skills, get Brick Wall, Scrapper and Bruiser whenever you can. Then get Finisher and lastly some skill of your choice that's useful for the team.

                        I wish they can give you the option in 2k14 to use the whole team just like in Fifa because sometimes i get bored playing the same player..

                          Thanks a lot! I made him 7 feet tall and 300lbs. Is he too tall? Is it gonna affect my VC earnings?

                            Why is it that you can become friends with almost every other player in the league before you become friends with your teammates in social media? Isn't that a little backwards?

                                This is a well known glitch that has been brought up numerous times in this thread. It is impossible and there is no known fix.
