Re: MyCAREER Has a Realism Problem
I honestly don't care about VC. I don't do online myCareer stuff so it's whatever. I just play the story. I will say that I wasn't able to get into this years story. The practice and stuff on your calendar is tedious. I don't want to play against Jimmy Butler on my court. Just let me play the NBA games and see the story unfold. I wasnt the biggest fan of Living the Dream but I finished it and it was entertaining. This year I haven't made it to the meeting with the shoe company person. I don't really play for "realism". I have MyLeague for that. But I do want an engaging, fun and unique experience. I don't feel like MyCareer hit it this year for me.

Re: MyCareer Has a Realism Problem
I had a play last night where I was bringing the ball up the court, and Justice was wide open at the elbow. I tried to pass the ball from half court to the elbow, and threw it out of bounds. There were no defenders anywhere near myself or Justice, I didn't try a flashy pass, it was just a normal pass to an open teammate. I could make that pass 100/100 times in real life, and I am nowhere near the skill level or athleticism of an NBA player. But in the game, where I'm supposed to be a top 3 overall draft pick and the next big thing, I threw it out of bounds because as a playmaking PG, my passing ratings are too low to make that pass. Yes, I can cheese my way to a triple double, but I would rather play realistic basketball and not have to be the facilitator for every single possession while I'm on the court. I would also like to be able to take advantage of a mismatch on the perimeter if the defense puts a slow big man on me without relying on screens or glitches.

Re: MyCareer Has a Realism Problem
In all seriousness... 2k put out a game they envisioned. A 20 year career mode (if you play ONLINE, yes, they should separate the 2). Which is basketball's version of a 20 year campaign mode. If you would like to immerse yourself in what the developers envisioned, please do. Live the life of a "tedious practice filled NBA career (or you know, don't because you can skip those, and yes, you won't get better, ergo the reason for practicing in life). BUT, if you would like to skip ahead into the career, OR you don't have TIME to play this all out, the option to spend $10 extra here or there (AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION, they don't just rip $60 more out of your wallets, you don't have to go ALL IN) the option is there. Kobe Bryant being the cover is probably the perfect example for this years story. Drafted just after lottery in the 1st round. Still came off the bench for 15 minutes a game only (yeah the first round near-lotto pick from High School with great upside). Scored 7 ppg. 2nd year, huge minutes jump just under 30minpergame, still got 16ppg. 3rd year, now playing a whopping 38 minutes a game! Still has yet to score 20ppg average. Wasn't until his 4th year that he popped the 22+ clip. And we know how hard of a worker Kobe is. So don't say all of this is unrealistic, 2K created a long story instead of years past of being a 99 overall after your rookie season. You can grind like an NBA player who excelled at the High School and College level, and now has to work to be good in NBA. Hell, Matt Leinart was probably an 85 overall coming out of college into the NFL, but he was probably close to a 60 Last edited by MoodMuzik; 10-04-2016 at 03:41 PM. |

Re: MyCareer Has a Realism Problem
In any case, I wasn't even referring to online play. I start the game at a severe disadvantage compared to every single opposing player I might come up against. In all aspects: speed, strength, quickness, dribbling, shooting, passing, stamina, etc. Whether I start playing the game on release day or 6 months later, I am not able to keep up with other NBA players, who should possess a similar skillset and athletic ability as myself.
No one wants to be a 99 from the start. I don't understand how anyone thinks that. All we want is to actually have the skillset and athleticism of an NBA player when we, you know, play in the NBA. Last edited by El_Poopador; 10-04-2016 at 04:21 PM. |

It's not the fact that you start out as a 55 rated player that is the big issue people are taking with the story, even though it lessens the fun to have the speed and basketball skills of your average tree log starting out. The issue people are taking with you starting out as a 55 rated tree log is that you are presented all the way through college as someone special and the next big sensation.
- You were the number one high school player in America and your college choice was national news. - The broadcasters during your college games talks about you like you are the next big thing. - During the Midnight Madness you are hailed as a savior of the school and someone who are gonna lead the program to a Championship. - You are recruited to play for Team USA by Coach K before you are even drafted. - When you're drafted people are talking about you as their next Franchise player. - When you are presented on the press conference with the other drafted players you leave afterwards with your agent to talk to shoe companies. These are not things that make you fit with being the lowest skilled player in your draft class. It would be fine to be a nobody coming into the league if the story surrounding you fit the narrative of you being someone who has to fight for everything on your way to the top. If you are presented as a D-League level player who barley made it to the NBA, a 55 rating would be fine. But you still should have the basic athletic abilities to outrun a walking Dick Bavetta carrying Charles Barkley when you're running full speed.

Re: MyCAREER Has a Realism Problem
Why not adjust the difficulty? Why does everyone think they HAVE to play on HOF? Or SS for that matter?
And fact is, at a 70 overall you're already over-powered. Look at Smoove, he jumped into a level 78... 78 only... and it looked like was the quickest, fastest, kyrie irving handled player to ever touch a basketball. Flying around the court with absurd ease, in and out of double teams, easy layups and racking up assists. All done on the hardest difficult^^^ And that's supposed to be an average player.
