I don't think people are mad because of what they dont know...I think they're mad because they feel 2k doesn't listen to the fans and for 69.99 or 99.99 they should listen a lil more


me personally I'ma wait and see type of guy and I enjoy MyPlayer but the preset nickname and the increasing amounts of VC you have to spend yearly does bother me a bit.

If the storyline is well written, I can play any single player mode in any genre. Personally, I don't want the cliche high School, college, draft, and play a bunch of NBA games gameplay. That's boring to me.

I need a blog...trailers are cool but I need the meat and potatoes. I don't get hyped for trailers much anymore

We just want to start off as a prospect and work our way to the league and enjoy the payoffs of a reasonable grind. The neighborhood is cool, but it feels like these story lines are getting more and more contrived. I wonder if they'll ever split the mode from the story like MyGM so I can just play through it similar to how 2k10 was.

They really should poll fans to see if fans actually want these story driven modes because they could save a lot of time and money by focusing on a traditional my player/my career type mode. Just looking at this thread alone it doesn't seem like anyone is anxious to play the mode. I could be completely wrong but I don't think 2k would be losing fans or see a drop in sales if the story driven focus of my career was removed.

Cutscenes really need be skippable. On a whim one night, I wanted to start a new MyPlayer (my original character got hit with the glitch shortly after the release and I abandoned the mode)... basically it was almost two hours of unskippable cringeworthy cutscenes I had already seen before I could get to play a game in Park mode [followed by me holding "next" for 8 minutes only to have a full squad run over and bump me out hahaha]

2K could learn from Madden in one aspect... respecting the players time.

Madden lets you breeze through games, whether its the intro/end of plays/timeouts/quarters/game. The amount of button presses you need to get through all that bs in 2K is unreal/unnecessary.

People has been complaining about scripted stories not original!* Yes, in the earlier version but this is something that "possibility" is happening to guys who don't get drafted and force to play overseas in another country.* Props to 2K to give us the other side of the coin.*

I won’t comment on the AI nickname until we get news. History tells us that our name will be forced and it will be AI.

BUT seeing as there’s an NBA legend that goes by AI already. What if AI is just the place holder as in “Artificial Intelligence” and we can actually change that?

Probably wishful thinking tho lol.

If it is a premade name it’s gonna suck. I don’t understand why they just can’t use generic nouns like dude, man, bro instead of an actual name. But whatever.

Here’s to hoping AI is a place holder. Whatever the case may be. Hopefully we can still earn badges in the Park. But knowing 2K they’ll probably take that out because that’s just what they do when they have a good thing lol

Looks like they at least went out and got people who can act. MBJ was really good when he was casted as Justice. That leaves me with some optimism for it to be tolerable.
