Y the nick name calling

Re: Y the nick name calling

Ok, I have found out more info on the nickname glitch/bug. This only happens in My Career mode. I made several created players with my My Player name, and a few with stock database names 2k provides. The PA announcer ON ALL OFFLINE GAMEMODES (except my career) says your players 1st and last name. The play-by-play commentators also say your players name. Just like 2k11 &12. This bug seems to be isolated in my career mode only. So far, I have not found any work around. Hopefully, 2k will be able to patch this without us having to start our my players over.

Re: Y the nick name calling

People say their name is in the "database"...how do I go and check to see if HUFF is in there?

Re: Y the nick name calling

Yeah.. was expecting to be called by name again, kind of regret jokingly nicknaming my guy "Black hole" like I always do.. oh well!

At least it wasn't Ash Hole :P HAHAHAHA

Re: Y the nick name calling

Yo Pared, the real funny part is the PA sounds like he says "black hoe". Needless to say, my wife walked by as I was experimenting using different nicknames to see if I can find a workaround for the bug. The PA said "black hole" and she looked at me and said "did your game call me a black hoe". I almost pee'd on myself, I was laughing so hard.

OH ****.. hahaha this is just hilarous

Re: Y the nick name calling

I guess will sound like this. "Black Mamba feeds superman in the post. Superman faces up, striped by flash, outlet pass to king james. King james slams it home. What a play by flash".

This needs to be fixed asap. Im tryin to find a workaround. If I find one, I will post it.

hahahhahah..oh crap.. i just wet my pants.

It doesn't bother me, maybe because i picked money as my nickname and they still call me by my last name sometimes. I just get tired of hearing "money was.... money in the first half" at the halftime show.

it would be easily fixed if they just let you select no nickname if you wanted to.

Re: Y the nick name calling

A no nickname option would help. People will eventually get tired of hearing."at the line for 2, The Prophet". Nicknames are cool on blacktop, but in a NBA arena, the realism goes completely out the door.

That's actually my nickname, & I've been sick of it since the 5th game now smh

Re: Y the nick name calling

Someone else posted this but the workaround is don't change your nickname. They'll still call you by it sometimes but most of the time they call my guy by his first and last or just last name. Even Stern announced me by first and last name during the draft which I'd never heard before this game.

Re: Y the nick name calling

I finally got the game today and I just played the rookie showcase and they didn't use my nickname (which is "Silk", it sounded the most like an actual last name/not a dumb sounding nickname).


The last name I chose is "Powell" and they did use it.

If you changed the nickname they'll start saying it after the Rookie Showcase and not your last name.

Re: Y the nick name calling

The workaround did not work for my "my player". Both his first and last name are in the 2k database. I did not change his nickname when creating him. The rookie showcase went fine. The commentators used his nickname sometimes, but the PA never did. Got drafted 5th to the Kings. Stern did not call my name out in the draft. 1st game of the season, PA called my nickname all game long. Commentators didn't. They used it from time to time. Testing all this out, when I made the same exact player and added him to a roster and played an offline exhibition game, the commentators and PA NEVER used his nickname. So I know for sure that the name is indeed in the database and works for other gamemodes besides my career. Weird to say the least. Hopefully, it's something on the list of fixes 2k is working on for the 1st patch.

That's weird, may I ask what system you're playing on? I'm on PS3, my guy's name is Nathan Scott. Maybe you have to actually select the name in the database instead of just typing it out? Other than that I don't know, but I'm totally serious when I say Stern called out my name and they still use my name in the game sometimes -- PA announcers and the commentators.

I am on ps3 also. My players name is Damon Warner. I selected the 1st 2 letters in both names, hit the triangle button to scroll down to the database and selected the full name from there. I did not change his default nickname. The rookie showcase went fine. Both the commentators and PA said my real name. No probs, there. After the rookie showcase, the commentators 90% of the game use, the nickname. The home arena announcer never says my real name. Weird because the away game arena announcer says just my last name, like it had in years past. Like I said, I made the exact same player, put him on the exact same team I got drafted to. Played an offline exhibition game. The commentators NEVER said his nickname. Neither did the home areaa announcer.

You get them when you're making a MyPlayer.. it's not available on PC though.

Anyway, my surname in the game is Strawberry, and the commentators and announcers do use that name. They seem to use the nickname more often though. The MyCareer specific comments I think will always use the nickname.
