It would be nice to have the option of how you want to begin your career instead of going through another rags to riches storyline that they've been working for the last three years. It was cute the first time when Spike Lee did it but now we should get the option to choose our own path to the hall of fame.
Really it's not even realistic right now. Guys that play in high school and college, then go undrafted and don't really dominate overseas(you really can't because your rating is so damn low) NORMALLY don't becomes hall of fame superstars when they get pulled in for a workout and try to make a team. I mean it's happened with guys that started playing overseas and made it to the league. But rarely when a US born guy doesn't really do much in high school/college, doesn't get drafted and barely does anything overseas too.
Let's go back to the real ****. Be able to choose to be a star coming out of college and a high draft pick. But you have to put up star numbers or your fan base will drop. You won't get many endorsement deals. You relationships with other stars will go down. Your team might try to trade you after the first year if you don't produce and you'll be called a bust in interviews. Make your goals for getting into the hof higher if you choose that route because the expectations for what you SHOULD accomplish will be higher.
If you don't want to go that route then by all means choose to go from rags to riches with a story. There are people out there that love the grind to go from a 48 to a 90+ and thats perfectly fine. BUT...make the rewards worth it so that within a decent amount of time, your guy can be a 90+. Don't make it so that unless you buy VC or grind for 3-6 hours a day, you won't reach 90+ till right before the next iteration of the game comes out.
Also...bring back conversations and interactions with the GM once you reach a certain level of influence. Be able to work with your GM to trade for star players to come play with you. Tell them who you think deserves a raise or people that they need to keep in order to keep you happy. That's what most stars do in real life anyway. Why not have that communication to help push your team in a certain way instead of being stuck with whatever situation you fall into.
The neighborhood can always still be a thing. You could still have storylines and meetups with stars in the neighborhood just like they do now. Thats all perfectly fine.
Now I know the issue with having multiple starting points in your MyCareer would have a direct effect on pro am and street. I get that and I really haven't found a remedy to it lol. It would put people that start as a star at a definite advantage. I know there are certain games that have matchmaking scripts that help with pairing opponents that are around the same raiting but I don't know if thats possible with the 2k verse.
Please let me know what you think about something like this.
