Re: NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game

Btw, 23, Its safe to assume the shot meter is completely tied and synced to the shot animation...

Yes I know but I was referring to it not being an automatic make every time

Wait so can you only scan your face in MyPlayer? or can you scan your face in regular create-a-player?

Some really good info here. THe rivers thing 1 not a huge deal. 2 not as unrealistic as the board making it out to be. 3 years is along time in the basketball world. Alot can happen look at the league 3 years ago. i think the thing to focous on is the DIRECTION they are going and the potential it has. More dynamic/branching story lines are clearly the most logical progression for this. But we should be aplauding them for the coach interaction and the level of realism this presents.Ive been hoping for this for years and 2k made a major step in the right direction in my opinion .

I think someone confirmed it to only be on the MP creation menu.

I don't think anyone is saying they aren't striving to do amazing things and that we don't appreciate that. We do and it's nice to see. The problem is they are going about it the wrong way (case in point the Doc thing). While you can say it doesn't seem far fetched, it actually is when you really think about it:

1. Doc is coaching the Clipps because of CP3 and Blake Griffin
2. It's LA
3. He comes to coach you in your 2nd season

In any logical world how does that make sense? Especially if you are in Detroit or Sacramento. And since you can choose what team you want to tryout and play for what if I want to make the Spurs, would the Spurs really fire Greg Poppovich for Doc Rivers? It's heavy handed and unnecessary just because Doc recorded some audio(how does this even fit the "story" everyone alludes to). I get they want you to closely follow what the coach wants, but that'd be fine without having to force this upon you.

I know there are players out there that like this and think it's cool, but there is going to be a vocal contingent out there that doesn't because it's not the essence of what they came to love in the mode years ago. Do I want the barebones 2k11 mode? Hell no, do I want the Doc Rivers stalker version either? Nope. There is a middle ground, but for now it seems like they are going for the "cool" and "this is awesome." Improving upon the new with elements of its roots should be the goal and not complete unbelievable fantasy mode.

(btw by going completely linear they are boxing themselves into a corner of extra work each year because now the story has to be different every cycle. Also, there is no reason for more than one playthrough because you've seen the cutscenes)

Again I reiterate I don't hate myplayer/mycareer and it is/was one of my fav modes. I also think them doing this stuff to liven up the mode is great, but they are going about it wrong in some aspects.

Re: NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game

I can't hate on that post. Especially the last statement. I want to believe that Rivers is coaching yoU OUTSIDE of the normal season. Like, at some sort of workout/camp sort of thing.

Hopefully....

2K is absolutely ruining My Career. My excitement for this game is in serious decline.

ehh that kinda sucks only cause i usually only play MyGM, oh well i guess!

This is what I'd hope for too, it makes a lot more sense in this scenario as well.

[QUOTE] You can used your scanned player model across all the modes your MyPlayer appears in, including MyCareer and online QUOTE]

That quote is from the article. Not sure if it's a fact.

In MyGM, that scanned player is your MP and is the GM. Why would you want a player that looks like the MyGM?

Re: NBA 2K15 - 44 More Details About the Game

"The new MyCareer mode lets you skip games if you prefer to move more quickly through seasons. You can choose which games you want to play, and certain games against good teams or rivals will yield more VC than when you match up with a creampuff team like the Timberwolves or Pistons."

I'm definitely looking forward to this. I didn't like that we couldn't skip any game in the past. After I got my player established, I didn't want to play every game and there were some key games I didn't want to play. There were some matchups I wanted to play but couldn't without playing certain games I didn't want too

1 players get injured 2 teams can under achive (im sure in 95 people said no way george karl would leave peyton and kemp) 3 pop said hed retire when tim does 1 year 2? Those teams you mentiond could have completly diferent rosters by the time he get there not to mention your myplayer being a 90 overal. Rivers has alot of connections to other teams as well, played for the hawks, knicks coached the magic, celtics.My point is the landscape of the nba can chance so drastically over time and there are soooo many variables. Its not as unrealistic as people claim. coaches moving to teams that have great young superstar tallent is pretty common. Phill jackson x3, mike brown,doc rivers(remeber how he got to L.a bet boston fans a year before said hed never leave us) Larry brown,george karl. Ithink our mental model of a coach is based on pop in this age,and we fail to realize how truly rare it is to have a guy like that, in that situation, with those types of players. 1 more thing unless i missread the artical it said he comes AFTER your second season thats 3 year from now correct? =)

Immersion killer is the new made up buzzword.

You guys are going to complain yourselves out of any enjoyment by release.


at least tell them what they are doing right add well so that doesn't change. All guys do now is day what's wrong or what they don't like over and over.

This is likely the best bball game we've ever had potentially but seems like it doesn't matter nowadays

It's tough to tell of whom this post may be referring, for I've noticed that many of the folks who do not favor the direction of MyCareer (myself included) have actually seemed awfully willing to praise many of the other moves 2K's made this year (MyLeague, for starters, looks incredible).

Perhaps when there's an unpopular aspect introduced (seemingly the Doc Rivers angle), the disagreeable folks staying on topic and voicing their displeasure (and discussing it further as the thread & conversation may invite) drowns out the manner with which other aspects of the game that were previously praised in numerous other threads. But it does not mean that praise does not exist.

There's a lot of great alterations made by 2K this year. But that does not mean people must force positivity in other aspects they may not necessarily support (which I would not assume is what you are suggesting anyhow). Regarding the buzz phrase "immersion killer", I think it's popping up because immersion issues themselves are popping up in the MyCareer mode, a feature whose former implementation seemed to suggest that immersion was the absolute name of the game. If 3 Ninjas dialogue negatively affects one's immersion, then I'd say "immersion killer" or "implementation detrimental to the realistic portrayal of a simulation product and subsequent enjoyment derived from a mode largely hinged upon immersion" should both be acceptable labels.
