If 2K really wants to live up to the Sports RPG title, then archetype is just the starting point. Like, RPG games start with Tanks, DPS, Support, etc. but with the right allocation of attribute points, you can be a unique character that can solo enemies. But that is just extremely wishful thinking from a dev to make in just one year.

This stuff is all good for the online players I suppose. But for someone like me who plays My Career single-player only it seems a bit disappointing.

If I have no intentions of playing online whatsoever, I don't want to be capped by my players height, wingspan or "archetype".

That just limits the type of experiences I can have in this mode.

Guess we'll soon find out if there is different options for guys like me this time, or just how severe these caps will be.

Hopefully the release the rest of the Archetypes. Im sure these wont be the same for ever positions since all the showed was a Small Forward.

For instance Im sure the PS will have a pure point, pass first, etc

What worries me is all the stat caps, I know it's for online but why not tone down skills for online, nobody wants to make a sub par player for my career. Seen on the achievements you can buy and equip signature skills wonder if that means we have set badges and can equip others?

I know having to earn badges last year made me play a lot longer

Still looking forward to this new mycareer path

They really need to separate online MyPark/ProAM from MyCareer. I don't care about single player, let us create multiplayer characters.

You'd probably need to make him a shot creator to make him more like curry. Then you get handles, and inside scoring

Are the players really subpar? It seems pretty easy to have a player average a triple double...
