Here's what to do to make this mode as best as it can be for 2k15
1. More options for creating a player. Things like the ability to choose a personality, a voice, things that make us individuals. Give us more than just a stereotypical sounding NBA guy that have swag. Some of us don't want swag, some of us want to be able to keep it quiet and just play. I'm not one of those guys that has swag, whenever that became the new word for cool. If you have it, good for you, enjoy it. I'm someone that like that. I aim to just get the job done without as much fanfare as possible and go about my day. Not everyone in the NBA acts like that, they just play the game. I think 2k has overdone this now.
2. Give us a choice of what we want from cutscenes. We can have them or we don't have to. Personally, when it's scripted like this and you don't get to choose any of the options that we probably would in real life, it's annoying. Or at least allow us to skip cutscenes. And get rid of the rivalry crap or at least make it a better way. If I outperform Jackson Ellis, why is he going first before me in the draft? Or why do I have a rival in the first place? If I met him in the tunnel, and he started going off I would have said "I'll let my game do the talking." Give us THAT option. And the after the game conservation "Guess running your mouth gets you no where" and kept on walking. Give us more than just a few options otherwise, get rid of the cutscenes and rivalry crap.
3. Give....The Goals.....LOGIC. I've had this happen way too many times in anything related to MyPlayer or now MyCareer. Ok, I played as an Athletic SF, got 25 points, 8 assists, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal. Pretty damn good game. But wait, I only got a B+ as a teammate grade. Hey, I only had 2 turnovers but because of "Bad pass attempts" or "Allowing an Offensive Rebound" when both were complete b.s. and other things I get an B+ when I'm out playing EVERYONE? Same with the Dynamic Goals. He's spot on with the Ball-Hogging goals. Sorry I don't play Hog-ball, I play LeBron, Magic Johnson ball. I facilitate the play and play defense. I can score at will, but defense and assists are easier for me to do to get the teammates involved. It doesn't make any freaking sense. Or better yet, when I'm scoring those same numbers off the bench and I'm out performing the guy who's starting, yeah, I'm going to be the starter. Another good spotting by the writer.
4. Give The TEAMS Logic. This has happened too. As that same SF, I perform fantastic at the Showcase, I have interviews with two teams that interest. By the way, why am I only interview by TWO teams? Yeah, that makes perfect sense there too. Here's a better way to do this, give me five teams that are interested in me, have them send me questions without the cutscenes and I answer each one, kind of like that personality test you get. If they like my answers, they stay interested, they don't, oh well. Anyways, I was interviewed by the Suns (YAY!) and the Pistons (WHAT?). Here's where the first part of logic is needed. Why would the Pistons, who JUST signed Josh Smith want to interview me? They just filled out that position and yet want me as well? Ok, so I'll be coming off the bench for 4 years? Uh, no, in real life that might fly (barely) but in this mode, you want to start. So basically, you want me to take Josh Smith's spot and COMPLETELY cause internal team problems? No, that doesn't make sense here, they should not be interviewing me. That's where the "we need more interviews" argument comes in here. Teams like the Cavs, Wizards, Bobcats, Suns, Timberwolves should be interviewing me because they have a need at SF. Then when I get the Suns saying they'll draft me, what do they do? Draft Ellis (figures) and the PELICANS draft me. The PELICANS? What? They already have most of the starter roles filled and never even interviewed me. Basically, logic gets thrown out the door for everything here. Fix that.
If those things could be fixed, this game mode would be ten times better than what it is. It's still fun, but it just makes you go WTF?
