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

The problem I think a lot of gus are having is understanding this won't be an rpg with multiple paths unless they work on it for years, although now people want a new story every year with mycareer so it's not feasible. This is a basketball and I understand people not wanting linear paths, but it'll probably never be THAT detailed to have so many multiple paths.

Now what I think they can and should do is in a sense remove the story. What I mean by that is basically the story becomes non intrusive and is only used for certain occasions(like when you first start out) and from there it can branch out from a certain choice,(yes this is kind of what you guys are saying but less intricate because it's not micro managing or manufacturing drama for the hell of it) case in point what marketing deal you sign).
Because of that it needs to remove the meaningless day-to-day cutscenes "playing 2k at the crib" and have them mostly deal with behind the scenes NBA player stuff. ACTUALLY handling your endorsements vs. just having a picture etc.

Earned, not given. And balance.

This is just the beginning of your journey with your MyPLAYER.

good!

I can't stand playing for fake teams and d-league teams where the stats don't count anyway.

MyPlayer or MyCareer is such a huge grind anyway as it is, that I'd rather not. In 2k14 I put in well over 80 hours, probably more like 100 and a) didn't have my player at all the skills I wanted until I stopped playing
b) only just barely finished a season and started a couple of games in the next one.

Since this is an annual title I would actually like to finish a career and retire with 10+ seasons. The way to do this is to cut the crap at the start with all the non-nba grinding and to allow us to not play every game (that was crazy in 2k14).

Not only that but as I have said and many others, we need to regulate our minutes. The essential feature as a band-aid is to allow us to sub off or tell the coach we're tired (which I was often and couldn't get out). The other component would be to give us SOME lee-way. So for example if Coach/GM wants me playing 41min/game, I should be able to choose between say 20-41min. So in this scenario as a STARTER maybe I have a minimum, and a maximum and I put it where I want. - is that like the real NBA? no, but it will raise my enjoyment of the game and most importantly maximize MY TIME when enjoying my hobby.

I love 2k, but if I'm stuck playing all 82 games in a season and am forced to play 41 minutes a game again, I won't be playing the mode and will skip 2k16 all-together if they do that.

That's the biggest problem I have is last year's effort didn't respect my time

Is it as constrained as the 2k14 iteration? Or will we find all this out later in the week? Cos I'm jonesing for some MyCareer details.

No it doesn't apply to me? I am merely saying you aren't getting the game so why are you here? at this point 2k15 has nothing to do for you. You aren't getting the game correct? so why post in a thread that you aren't getting, it would be one thing if you was on the ropes of considering to get it but you said you aren't getting 2k15. you've already made your point but to keep going on about it is pointless and filling these threads up with your inconsequential statements.

This is short sighted. Yes barring something else I'm passing on 2K15, but what about 2K16, 17, 18. 19, 20 etc? This is a yearly title. If I me and enough likeminded posters here can explain to them why we don't like the mode why is it a problem so long as it's done in a constructive way? Is that not why these forums even exist? If MyCareer starts to see some slippage in usage 2K can come to these threads and have a better chance of pinpointing what it is that may be going wrong.

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

Good point. It's interesting that you go from being a virtual you that some of your real yous could probably beat physically-- to this generational athletic specimen overnight.

A generational...

• 3 point shooter with max 92 3 point rating
• Pass First PG with 92 max pass
• Insert Specialization Here with 92 max specialization rating

But on the bright side, everyone can have an insane 95 post fadeaway and post hook...

Hope this is one of the things they "fixed" in 2k15. I'm sure I don't speak for everyone here, but while I understand the need for caps on certain stats, I find a lot of them don't really make sense (like above). Even if we're not supposed to be a generational specimen, at least have the max stats make sense... A 3 point specialist PG has a 2 stat points higher max on 3 pointers than a defensive PG?

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

it would be nice to have the option to NOT go undrafted and get drafted by a team as well though, but i dont mind something new for once. It's not like 2k builds up the lead to the draft correctly anyway.. the combine is not just about a scrimmage. Theirs measurements, and series of physical drills players participate in... maybe next year 2k adds that to the game. But that aint none of my buisness

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

What really irks me about the lack of combine and summer league is the fact they act like it can't be optional. That excuse of people saying it took too long was nothing but a cop out.

As for the story its not needed it adds nothing new. The stuff that needs to be added keeps getting ignored

Agreed. It literally seems as simple as giving the option of "Play game 1 of combine" or "Sim to draft." NCAA Football implemented something exactly like this with high school games before signing with a school. I think road to the show does something like this too with prospect showcase games. I don't see where the excuse is there

Kind of like 2K's MyCareer storylines.

Heh, maybe if the scene with player whining about not being drafted lasted 45 more mins...then they'd be on par.

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

And after browsing through this thread a bit more, i STILL believe the best way to go would be to have a my career story mode, and a standard my player mode with no story involved. Fight night champion did that, they had champion mode(the story) and legacy mode where you make your own guy and improve with no story. Hell, they did it with mygm(gave people an alternative with more control, with myleague) so i don't see why not do it with my player. I think everyone can agree, more options and more customization is a good thing.

Everyone wins.

I'm going to name my myplayer Jeremy Brown, and make him from Oklahoma. Boom, Mr. Irrelevant.
