This might be a long post but it has so much potential but it’s a lot of things that’s ruining it for me. I had ALOT of fun and competitive games on HOF in 2K19.

Spoiler

So far, it’s very very easy to beat the CPU this year. I am beating almost every team by at least 20. For some reason they cannot defend the roll man on P&Rs. Almost 90% of the time, it’s a easy bucket. It’s very easy to get by the cpu for a easy layup or dunk. This one is something I really wouldn’t want touched much because it’s almost perfect where it is. I just wish whoever is in control of the defense would reference back to 2K19 AI defense on some things. Mainly if I am averaging like 30+ at PG. Instead of putting Curry or Lou Williams on me which would be a mismatch and very very easy to get by, they’d used to put the best defender on you like a Klay or PG. Back on 2K19, they’d mix up how they played the P&Rs and how they doubled you. The CPU on offense was also a lot deadlier. If those things was improved, this would probably be the best mycareer.

This next part I don’t know if could be patched or anything this year but one thing I hate about MYCareer this year is we’re missing out on a lot of presentation just to hear your MyPlayer chat and talk smack. The camera angles and etc during FTs is cool but it shouldn’t cut off the announcers. We do not get a pregame show. The presentation of the start of a game is skipped. For example if it’s the NBA Playoffs, we used to get “Welcome to the 1st round of the NBA Playoffs” or team starting lineup introductions and etc. All that is gone just to have your player in a huddle and to walk to the court.

There is no longer a Player of the Game at the end of the games anymore. No commentary after you’ve won a game. How it’s looking, I am pretty sure when you win the NBA Finals, you probably won’t hear the announcers say “____ is the 2021 NBA Champions!” I could list more but it’s just bad decision making imo to have and pay for Shaq, Kenny and Ernie and not use them in the most played mode. No halftime show. You add all this presentation just to sell it short for us to have a up close and personal view of our myplayer. Makes 0 sense to me.

This might have already been answered. Sorry but I’m always late to the party lol. But is anyone else stuck at 20 minutes per game? I’m in my second year. I’ve played every game and every practice. I have maxed out badges. I can even edit the lineup. But as soon as I leave that scene it automatically sets me back as a non-starter and back at 20 mins? And no matter how good I play it doesn't ever changes? On Xbox Series S by the way.

Is there a practice Facility in next gen version? If so where is it? Not seeing it on the Legend either.

It isn't in the city you can only access it through the MyCareer schedule.

I haven't started a mycareer yet, but I'm ready to start. I got a good enough Face Scan and might have to tinker a little with build, but I'm good to start. I'm just waiting on the next major Roster Update and Patch.

Thanks I actually like it better this way, at my fist practice and I'm curious about something, first I know I need to get better at shooting but I'm playing with aim off and I've put up probably 40 shots right now and they literally aren't going in unless I hit a green. Before shots would go in if it the timing was close and I've had a lot of close ones as far as where it need to be on the meter but they aren't falling at all. Is this happening to anybody else? Shots only going in during team practice just shooting around if it's green?

I'm asking because in shootaround before the game and during the game shots go in even if not green

I just got this game. I usually just play my career. I wish I would have known they cut the presentation. I would have never bought it. It makes this game so bland. No cut scenes, endorsements, player of the game..... much more. Ps5 is the only version that matters now.

Why is PS5 version the only one that matters?
