So I was wondering what everyone thought about on this idea. I love both offline and online NBA gaming. Keep in mind if this idea was implemented, it should not be the only way the game can be played, just an option to turn on. For those familiar with Forza 5, they use "Drivatar" to play against real opponents even when they are offline. What about implementing 2k-Avatar?
The hardest part for me with playing against he CPU, is a lot of the teams don't have that much of a different style. So say when you are playing an 82 game season, use someone elses "2k Avatar" as an opponent. The CPU will have their tendencies. It wont feel like you are playing a computer, as much.
To give an example, when you play against OKC CPU, yes Westbrook and Durant will drive or take their shots, but not aggressively. In real life, Westbrook can and will be selfish with trying to take over, or force up shots. Durant will sometimes just pull up from 3 dribbling up court. We as 2k players, do this when we use such teams. We are aggressive with our stars, but make the right play when we have nothing else. If we use someone elses "game style" for the CPU, it will be different each game.
The problem that his causes is, "Well I don't want to get someone who chucks up 40 threes a game or doesn't pass once". Agreed! But 2k can filter out the ridiculous Avatars. But sometimes a team will shoot 20-30 threes. Sometimes Carmelo will put up 50, taking 35 shots. It does and will continue happening in real life. Peoples Avatars will give a new "spark" to playing the CPU. My idea is obviously rough around the edges, but its the idea, if implemented and filtered properly, that can change the excitement we have.
I don't know about everyone else, but after a 5 hour session of Association, I just need to get online because its more difficult and there is actually USER ERRORS you can exploit. It feels more real. The CPU can have slow reactions, but they rarely make true user mistakes like in real life.
Thoughts? Something to add on to it?
