It's not 2K adding stuff that people are complaining about here.

It's 2K removing perhaps one if the most vital and authentic parts of an NBA career to force fit an extremely unrealistic storyline, if you play on to be one of the all time greats. It was one of their better done aspects, though they did chip heavily away at it by removing Summer League and the Draft Combine.

The first year we can actually have our real selves in the game is the first year we can't see ourselves drafted in the NBA. There is a HUGE, HUGE wasted opportunity here.

Um what was fake about the story mode from 2k14?

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

MyCareer was the most played mode in 2k14...I wonder why, going to take a random guess and say because of the Story Mode that everyone wanted to play..yes it had flaws but none the less it was still good and better than any other mycareer. If you don't like the fact that it has this a story by all means don't play the game mode they don't force you to do it, no need to sit here and argue and complain about it on here. Better yet you could even buy the game on last gen where there is no story mode.

This is the last time im gonna say it. Mycareer was the most played mode in the last 3 2ks

OkayC, you've been taking the words out of my mouth. I would see a post and you'd post exactly what I was thinking and was maybe about to say.

MP Mode has been the most played mode since 2K10, I believe. I don't know where this stuff comes from that this just happened in 2K14 NG. They don't force us to play the game mode, but the thing is, people want to play MP Mode. They just don't want the storyline aspect of it. They want it to be setup how it used to be.

Then guys saying go back to last gen is just....smh. Why would someone want to go back and play a game on inferior graphics, modes, gameplay and etc? And also to the people saying, "Player lock in association". While that's an option for some that doesn't care about shoe deals, magazines, being able to play on The Park/Crew and having the CPU make trades and etc and just want to play regular games and control the team, then it will be perfect. But a lot of people do not want that, they want career modes of old, just don't want a linear story.

I personally am willing to give a storyline a try since I skipped on 2K14 and interacting w/ teammates and see if it actually changes the story, but I don't agree w/ having to go undrafted and things like that. I want a more dynamic story as well and not a story everyone will have. I want to talk to a friend and we have completely different cutscenes a lot of times and outcomes.

As stated before if you don't want the story mode don't play the mode or go back to last gen it doesn't get any easier than that. You and whoever else don't like the story mode or says it corny or wack are in a very small minority and are obv outnumbered by the majority, and for the different cutscenes yea that would be nice and all but I mean not every story mode game has different outcomes, but by some of you guys logic basically saying any story mode game that has the same outcome for everyone is bad. which is just simply not true.

Can't wait to see how the scanning works for me

[twogotwingz3]

I think another little thing 2k should let us add in is a snapshot of our face scan so that we have a picture for our player card instead of a blank outline or logo

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

The corny and awful storyline is a killer for me. If that first scene is any indication, it seems it'll be tough to overlook and play through. My initial draw to MyPlayer in 2K10 was the idea of replicating a realistic path to the NBA. Clearly, creating myself was totally fictional (I'm never going to the league). But all of the surrounding aspects of the mode were real, authentic and simulation-based enough to allow me to immerse myself in a world of a young VDusen trying to legitimately reach the National Basketball Association.

In contrast, every single forced & corny cut scene featuring me raging at a terribly voice-acted agent immediately destroys any sense of immersion. I used to love MyPlayer because it felt real. Now, the linear storyline combined with the removal of many of the real aspects of reaching the league (Draft Combine, Summer League, D-League, Training Camp), has eliminated most of my zest for this mode.

A perfect MyCareer for me would pretty much be a game mode that accurately simulates every aspect of the process of trying to make it as an NBA player. That unfortunately includes things that 2K has phased out of the mode, like summer combine and D league, and the ability to be drafted or undrafted based on your performance.

Right on.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

This was the reason I passed on 2K14 and the reason I'll pass this year. This mode should be some much more dynamic as it pertains to paths. This forced narrative kills any replay value. It's the reason I don't buy games anymore I rent because once you beat them they are essential useless to me.


There's no reason why there shouldn't be a true path to the NBA. The college license can't be that much. You should start in March Madness, then go through a combine, individual team workouts in groups and/or alone(which includes a dynamic interview process), then the draft(which should also be dynamic IMO). After you're drafted you should go play in summer league, training camp, and pre season(training camp and pre season should be every year). If they want to give some people the option to skip it and give them the right to select high draft pick, mid draft pick, low draft pick, undrafted that should be an easy short cut to add. However for me the thing that got me hooked on this mode was the emergence of what it was to be pro prospect leaving college. 2K was already making it worse and worse every year IMO now that element appears to be dead and my interest in this game dying with it.


Oh, but the face scanning looks great too bad I won't be using it this year.

Since no game at all has this nor anything close to what 2k has currently. .. I guess you won't be buying any basketball game this year then huh.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

I swear I read/heard somewhere say the storyline wasn't linear this year.

Well I don't know what any other game has or not right now. So I can't say yes or no until I do. With this info all I can say is no to 2K15. I didn't play a basketball game at all last year so it's very likely it may be the same this year. I play videogames for fun not because I feel I'm obligated. It's becoming clearer to me I'm not 2K's target consumer. Hopefully enough people feel the way I do and 2K changes direction, or some other game designer can give me what it is I think is a quality basketball BAP mode. Otherwise I move on with my with the time I invest in basketball videogames. It'll be some what disappointing, but I won't lose any sleep over it.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

I play basketball games to play with NBA players not a created man and then come up with all kinds of scenarios that I think should be or its a no buy ignoring the actual NBA part in the process.

That's your choice but looking at My league I think they had people like me in mind as well as many others here.

I haven't touched this mode since the first one which I had íssues with but it didn't stop me from enjoying the core game. Other modes are just gravy on top.

I'm not sure what audience you claim to belong to but I think some of these claims are wild and over dramatic these days.

Give me the Ncaa or forget the whole thing. OK then enjoy those other games or there.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

I still find it unbelievable this is the mode most people play....I'll never understand that .

+1.

I love sport games because they aren't generally scripted. MyCareer is nothing more than a cheesy story line.
