So I can't make a Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Kevin Durant in MyCareer

[kadzier]

As people have already said, we need to have separate attribute caps or progression systems entirely for park and career. People who never play a game of MyPark in their lives are being affected by so-called balancing for a mode they never play.

This... just because I want to be good at lay-ups doesn't mean I want to waste points on post hook as a guard. Maybe I want to be good at driving dunk, but not at standing dunk. Maybe I want to have good ball control but mediocre passing.

? You actually can be Kobe in this game.

-Take horribly contested shots
-Ignore all your teammates on offense
-Earn a teammate grade of "F" (is that possible?)
-Change ur hairstyle
-Change ur # ( I think)

Oh wait, you can't get caught up in a lawsuit involving rape

-Nvm, OP is right that you can't be Kobe!

Grrrr 2k

This is correct - my 90ovr 6'6" Balanced SG is actually an official 81ovr outside of My Career.

The overall boost is artificial and this is salt in the wound on top of the caps and bucket system that already strangles our liberation to freely exercise our ability to "build" the player.

If all a 7ft SF could do at an elite level was shoot exceptionally well (for his position): there would be no exploit with the 7ft SF because an insightful cap system would carefully allow elite ability as well as penalties to other abilities the more you reach your cap in any one ability or ability group such as scoring.

^^The Cap system still serves a purpose so that the above situation is not exploited. Why allow a 7ft big to have the handles of 99? It should be fundamentally difficult to perform dribbles at an elite level with that height based on physics and physical probability alone.

I'm genuinely getting by fine with my G but the Park experience is quite dull and bland compared to the swagger and raw excitement that 2k15 offered.

If I could, I would nerf some of my defense for offense. I would nerf some of my athleticism for playmaking. More specifically, I would shave off some blocking and stealing for inside game and possibly outside game. I would further shave off some strength and possibly stamina in favor of more ball control. I would further reduce my passing ability and give some of that to rebounding (something I love to do as an all around G) and post up, possibly (another area of my game I'm proud of).

I cannot agree that we have unique player distinctions until I can confidently say we are able to distinguish different types of players at a deeper level: high energy guys, tough bruiser guys, slender but slick shooters, tough off ball shooters like Joe Johnson, magical guards like Curry, PNR maestro like Stockton, Relentless finishing G's like Westbrook, Hardened Rebounders, Legit Lockdown Defensive Players who that's what they can noticeably do better than others.

The key is to be able to noticeably see all around players , playmakers, and all types of specialists. If we were given just enough points to build our player within context of Caps but still distribute the points freely: you would see more people ignoring the 99 potential in favor of simply building the player in their vision.

^^True shooters would build "their type" of shooter; All Around players differ and everyone has a different vision of all around talent. Some guys legit want to be known for energy and should be able to Excell with stamina at an elite level more so than those who ignore the benefits of stamina. If all you're focusing on is spot shooting and rolling of screens for catch and shoot then perhaps you can ignore the elite level of stamina but if you try to do too much: you should suffer if you disturb your stamina quota.

This boost system is very gimmicky and shallow in my opinion when you genuinely see it for what it truly advertises.

Btw, my condolences to the OP (banned)

I agree with the premise of what he started here but am unsure of his violations (which I do not support nor endorse).

Let's try to stay on topic with thus subject with out resorting to belittling remarks and rage battles - - this cap system + bucket system is a topic many are growing very sensitive and emotional on.

This!!!!!!!!!!!!! so eloquently put.

I will add, my favorite player in game in official rosters is Damian Lillard - Lillard is an 86? I cannot contextually build Lillard because the bucket system is like a hand holding system for ART and the person holding my hand has already cast the majority of the vision for my art piece.

2k is being too controlling with their power to control how we be able to build our players. They gave me the clay and I should be able to more freely play with my clay based on their stipulation but a whole bucket of multiple attributes all going into one core group - is that really doing justice for creativity purposes and individualism?

We already have the same career nickname and family upbringing... 😔 on top of that our game parents decide that if we boost scoring we should boost everything under scoring. If we boost defense : we must raise every defensive attribute together.

It's 2k who is creating this monster with their overzealous bucket system - it's 2k who harvested this crop of group assets that's restricts the user from individually raising attributes that would best suit him and cut the excess off.

Nope... Lebron is a once in a generation, freak athlete...



I mostly play Park and it feels great not constantly playing teams that were basically Lebron at every position.
