Sigh. See, this is the mycareer stuff I think they could/should avoid. It's cool and what not, but this is what makes it cheesy as hell because it's beyond forced.
They could've just had the commentary team mention he's at the game prior to tip off like they do irl and had a shot of you going over to him OR he could've been met OFF THE COURT while you were doing some endorsement like a basketball commercial(cough*TNT playoffs commercial*cough)

I didn't want to be the one to say it this time around so I appreciate you taking the lead here. His presence could have been cool for me if it were done in a more realistic manner. If I saw a high resolution Pharrell on the sidelines during the game, simply watching, or shown during a celebrity camera pan shortly after a time-out, or numerous other legitimate means, I actually think it could be pretty darn neat.

Instead, at risk of sounding repetitive, the current implementation makes me cringe due to corniness. Add to that, my MyPlayer being required to talk to Pharrell in that fashion is yet another portion that breaks the immersion.

That said, I understand many folks enjoy this aspect and I respect that. I'll say, I'm at least thankful this type of approach has not necessarily continued in other portions of the game. Thank goodness MyLeague, for instance, does not feature this stuff. Still, I wish MyPlayer were going the realistic route of its origin in 2K10 and 2K11.
