Please 2K give us an unrestricted career mode in 2K19!

[Vroman]

Making demigod mycareer player is something that never appealed to me personally, usually i get bored much faster in MC games once my player become very powerful with upgraded badges and ratings.

But some kind addition of "legacy" mycareer version would make sense. Like we have single player MyLeague with all custom settings.

If what I have seen on Twitch is any indication, it seems like this year most players don't even bother with My Career beyond the clothing stores and drills to grind a few specific badges anyway; they pretty much just straight buy their dude with VC then go right to pro am/park and earn their badges online.Really at this point a formal separation of the modes wouldn't be that big of that a step as the community seems to be already moving itself in that direction on its own.

As for Career Mode,I think there should be two options: A fully unrestricted fantasy option, and a sim option focusing completely on realism.

I would also like to see a solid Online Co-Op vs CPU Career/Franchise type mode.

Good Post by OP,

But unfortunately as someone who plays exclusively to create a player build stats, gain attributes, break records, live out the fantasy etc. I think it is sadly coming to a end for us but I hope that I am wrong.

The CAP system in 2k18 it pretty much unusable if you try to recreate yourself and there is no face scan for MyLeague so it's even more obvious about the direction now.
CAP system was not perfect in previous additions just needed some touches of love here and there. But now its completely locked down and useless for creating a representation of yourself in a My League.

Even after months of owning the game and coming back too it in January. Taught me something very simple either they are trying to get the gamers who like this style of play to move away from it or something else entirely.


If other upcoming sports gaming titles continue too follow suit. Expect it too be the last venture into this realm as I will be hanging on to my previous years titles to get the experience myself and many others (check out the 2k CAP thread) want to have.

(NOTE 2k18 Fans as an alternative a PC allows you to have mods so this might be the best way to go to get around the current CAP system. But yeah that's forking out money for a PC to run it and learning how too mod!

In 14 & 15 (current gen) there was a noticeable skill gap, despite the fact that everyone had players that could get all the badges and max their attributes, but archetypes have taken that aspect of the game away. these days, you can get drafted to the e-league and basically have a game that consists of nothing more than grinding badges, standing in the corners, and timing a button press. That's it, nothing more skillful than that. They need to go back to 2k14 or 15, but introduce some height caps; people complained about 7ft SF's so make the max height for a SF 6'8 or 6'9, but max a PG out at 6'5, SG out at 6'7. Archetypes have been the worst introduction into the franchise in my opinion, and despite the fact they were introduced for purely the right reasons, they've provided more imbalance to the game than people were complaining about before. I'd really like to see us have control over our players again in 2k19, go back to gold badges only (or maybe even let us pick 1 HoF badge of our own choosing for each player we create), and go back to having fun with this series rather than a grind. We all started playing video games because they were/are fun. Somewhere along the road (to 99), this important factor seems to have been lost.

They really need to get rid of HOF limitless range badge. Steph Curry has probably the best range of all time, and even he isn't shooting draining five 40 footers a game. Idc who you are, you shouldn't be draining multiple almost half court shots a game. It has a huge impact too, it's what allows 5-out to be played so much, because it creates so much space.

I may not be the majority in this conversation, but i am voice in this community and i cant be the only one who feels the mycareer grind, is ridiculous.

all the 7'5+ uncapped myplayers in crew and pick-up games in 2k11 basically led to all competitive myplayer PvP modes being taken out completely for the next couple of years.

It was an complete atrocity.

I know people hated it, and they were pretty corny, but I actually enjoyed the story in MC in 2K16 and 2K17. I didn't get far in 2K18 MC because of all the running around and stuff. Seems like i remember a lot of people complaining about how tedius and mundane being forced to play through the story and practice and stuff was in 2K17. Like someone else said, most of the hardcore online guys want to skip the story anyway. I'd like there to be a story like before and also the option for the old MC from last gen where they had the 2K Insider and your play determined whether everything without all the fluff that many people don't care for.

I like the caps. If there wasnt any, then every player would be maxed, and every player would end up being the exact same.

Nba players even have a sort of 'cap' on their skill sets. Youll never see cousins practice and practice and practice dribbling moves so he can run point like curry.

Ehh, idk. Having everyone use a 99 with maxed stats, doesnt really give the ability for someone to show that theyre the best of the best.

I think having a cap system and having people pick and choose which stats and attributes to improve, show more of who can be the best.

And being able to buy a 99? Lol
