My Career Rookie Season is Eight Games

[Rockie_Fresh88]

I rather just go along with the story and have some wow factor TBH

Hopefully this is the last time they do something like this.
At least it stops and we get more freedom in season 2
Really hope one day they can get this mode right
It's only eight games though not a big deal what really sucks is all the NBA stars might retire by season 2 I just want to play along with Kobe or KG, Vince Carter, Tim Duncan and co...

[WTF]

Was really hoping to be able to just play an entire rookie season, ear the RotY honors, earn an endorsement deal... move on. These story modes kill me.

yeah, this has effects beyond your just not competing for awards or having control of all the stats you put up. I wanna go up against the currently drafted rookies my own rookie season too, potentially play with them in the rookie game, etc

I thought they would have learned their lesson with all the backlash from having to start your rookie season halfway in last year's game, thereby disqualifying you for everything. somehow they went one worse

I'll give this a chance. Truth be told, I don't mind getting only 8 games my rookie year -- maybe it's just the 8 games I, as a player, start and the rest of the time I'm glued to the bench. Whatever the case, I'll trust Spike with the story here and give him a chance; I don't always like his movies or his characters (or the Knicks he cares so much for) but I respect the man as a fellow basketball fan.

After playing this and only getting to play in the 8 games is your ability to improve your player with VC. You don't get compensated a few thousand VC to help develop your player as a rookie as I think they should probably give you. If I didn't get the pre order bonus my player basically would have been the same skill in his 2nd year as he was a Senior in high school. which is totally unrealistic

Here's the thing that didn't make sense with the rookie season-- we're obviously a role player, glued to the bench, but in between games our agent is talking about us getting our own signature shoe and how we're an all-star number one option who carries the team or something? That's totally different from the in-game experience of coming off the bench and scoring 5 points per game

Just started this mode after being lost in MyLeague for the last day or so ... I'm gonna give it a chance, but I'm not taken with it so far.
