MyCareer Ethnicity

[MrSerendipity]

Does anyone know if your ethnicity will alter your family in the game? Or will we still have an african american family even if we're a caucasian character? Given the emphasis put on your family (especially sister and mother), it may ruin a little bit of the immersion. May be better to just create a fake character for the sake of not losing the immersion in each cut scene.

Re: MyCareer Ethnicity

I was wondering this too. Maybe we're adopted.

I remember the SP game even changed your family's skin tone based on the character you made. I'm sure 2K is capable of it.

Re: MyCareer Ethnicity

I'm not sure yet but also I watched some of the MyCareer gameplay and its very very urban. I know I won't have a problem with that but I know some people will.

Also, I'm pretty new how exactly do you Quick Reply?

Re: MyCareer Ethnicity

To add on to this, does anyone know if there's still just two voices to choose from and both of them are black like 2k15?

I am thinking they will have family match the player. That only makes sense.

However, if the family is only one ethnicity no matter the player, just imagine the player was adopted as a baby. [emoji3] [emoji12] Just kidding. Lol!

Putting this in spoiler tags for those who don't want to know. It's about your relation with the family and your nickname, so only click the spoiler if you want to know.

Unfortunately, we can't be adopted. You get your nickname from your mother when your father puts headphones on your mother's stomach and you start dancing around in the womb. This is how you get your nickname Frequency Vibrations. You also have a twin sister who is your manager.

Come on Johnny. One of these voice was a white actor trying way hard to sound like a black dude.


I hate the low key racism by 2k in this mode. Surprised nobody really called them out on it yet.

It's hard to yell racism. It does shock me however that they don't really pay attention to their full fan base. At the end of the day, I'll just create a fake character and move on. But it does suck not getting the same level of immersion as other.

Yeah I feel you on that, its an extremely urban background and not everyone is from a place like that.

But srs, how do you quick reply?
Where's the button?

Re: MyCareer Ethnicity

personally I always find it funny when people complain about your character always having to sound black in 2K. Like every other game out there where you create a character with voice acting it's always a white guy voice... yet you never see threads complaining about that. lol

Next to where you see the Quote button, look the right. You'll see three buttons that assist in replying. If you quick the middle button that says quick reply upon hover, you can scroll down to the quick reply box and reply that way.
