Re: Things to make MyCareer Better in 2k15
MyCareer Wishlist
1. No More Buying Attributes: This is not only boring but completely un-realistic. We should have a sense of accomplishment when we walk out on the court/park and our player is good. We should have to train and put in some work to get that dribbling attribute up, or to make 3s, or any other aspect of our MyPlayer's game. The training doesn't have to be tedious, they could be fun, competitive drills that we would look forward to doing. If our free-throws aren't falling, we could hit the gym and practice, this should then be reflected in an improvement after the workout (I realize this is in the game but we don't get more freethrow attributes when its over, we still have to buy them, it doesn't make any sense). To help with the workload we could be given better rookies so we aren't killing ourselves to be respectable in the league.
2. Different Player Stories/Backgrounds: Enough of the "unknown player who comes out of nowhere to surprise the scouts" storyline. We've had some variation of this since the mode began back in 11. I want to be the phenom, or college star with all the added pressure that comes with it. No more underdog, we've been there, let's move on.
3. Improving a Player's Body: I want to earn that "ripped" physique or train for the bigger muscles. Again I don't want to purchase quickness, speed, strength or vertical leap. I want to train for it (or come into the league with it). If I don't stay in shape my player could start to look soft and that would reflect itself in how he actually looks and plays. Maybe I want to put in some muscle for my post game. I'd hit the gym, lift the weights and come out looking stronger and being stronger, muscling smaller guys out of the way. This might in turn hurt my outside quickness but perhaps it's a trade off I'd be willing to make. Just like with ability, we should have pride in how our MyPlayers look. They look that way because I worked for it.
4. Offseason Mode: In past years my absolute favorite thing to do in MyCareer was to start saving up VC with about a month or so left in the season. After the play-offs I'd take that VC and put it into various attributes I wanted to improve on and come into the new season with an added weapon (post game, 3pt shot, better handle). This way I could simulate off-season improvement. I'd love to see this put in the game for real with various camps or trainers that we could hire to improve our skills or body that are specific for the offseason.
5. Cut the Cut-Scenes: If you can't do it right, don't do it at all. This addition is always going to get repetitive, even if the writing and story is good, which it isn't. This was also a sneaky way of taking out the various practice modes within MyCareer by only allowing us to do them once in awhile. I should be able to hit the practice court whenever I want, not when 2k wants me to, same for GM meetings.
6. More Customization: I'm talking about the face and body here. I love the addition of wingspan this year, I'd like to see that extended to other places like hands. Jordan was artistic because his hands were huge! I want to palm the ball or fake-pass with one hand like he did. Bigger hands could open up their own animation trees.
7. Signature Style: I've seen this brought up in other threads and I love the idea. Right now we get to choose how a player looks, dribbles, and shoots. Why not let us choose how they run, jump, back peddle, how they carry themselves? Do they chew gum? How do they trash talk to the other players? What's their overall feel or aura? I know this can be done because they did it with the Jordan Challenge. It was the little things that made it feel like I was Jordan in that mode. The addition of emotion this year was a good start but I'd like to see it pulled back into a more subtle representation. My guy screams at everything, literally every play he is screaming at stuff. They should save it for the big moments, not every time he makes a freethrow.
