NBA 2K16: MyCAREER NBA Details and Off-Day Simulator Video

Re: NBA 2K16: MyCAREER NBA Details and Off-Day Simulator Video

So far this is my understanding:

Part 1: Spike Lee's movie - taking us from High School to first year NBA

Part 2: MyCareer Progression

• Improve MyPlayer by the simulator (ie Dwight Howard commercial = expressive badge)
• Play basketball - Normal, everyday MyCareer as we've seen before.

The Spike Lee part still worries me, the simulator part intrigues me. I'm disappointed with what I know of the first part but am optimistically hopeful about the second part shown.


Gameplay itself is fully enabled for MyCareer: everything talked about by ScottOG and Da_Czar we get!!


In case anyone missed it in SimHangout 51, Da_Czar said that if we want the most Sim experience we need to play with the Auto-Play Calling setting switched to off this year.



This is very important to remember for those who want the most sim experience they can in MyCareer.

I say hang tight. I would imagine there will be a blog for MyCareer, just as there was for the other aspects. It'd make sense, considering a lot of the confusion regarding the ins and outs of this mode thus far.

Confusion is the right word. This is very vague and confusing.

I wonder if you have to actually play those high school football games with Dwight or whoever. And then it controls like NFL 2K. That'd be cool, lol. I think I'll be more interesting in attribute building or building connections instead of the fame-chasing stuff though.

Why turn playcalling off? How does playing freestyle give a more sim experience than running plays?

Free-style this year is tied to the ACE (Adaptive Coaching Engine) as talked about in Scott's developer diary. The difference is that with ACE enabled, the ai will adapt to what is happening in the game.

The auto-play calling will not be adaptive and we will not be able to take advantage of the new ai features enabled this year.

With free-style you can still manually call plays and picks ... so plays will still be important. We just need to manually call them this year to take advantage of everything.

Wonder why they couldn't get auto-play calling to be adaptive? Oh well, just gotta get used to calling plays on my own.

It's gonna suck though for guys who don't play PG in MyCareer and can't call their own plays.

Pretty cool for myteam people, who can now get cards from playing my career through connections.

Dustin from OS confirmed on twitter you'll play high school and college. There's only 10 colleges to choose from. How you play determines where you go in the draft.

Did anyone notice when you make connections and hang out/train with other nba players it unlocks a bunch of stuff.

Things I saw that it could unlock;

- Players/Cards for MyTeam.
- Badges for career.
- Different things for your MyCourt like metal chain nets for the baskets.
- Clothes for your MyPlayer.
- Extra fans.
- Dunk packages.
- Animations.

They got the live practice idea from NBA live 09 and 10. Good stuff man! I've been wanting 2K to steal that idea for the longest.

I actually really like the sound of MyCourt, even though I'm not an online guy (so I'm not sure what purpose it'll really have for me at the end of the day). Still, it vaguely reminds me of NFL 2K's The Crib and I like that. I like knowing my achievements are somewhat tangible, somewhere to be seen, alongside being able to upgrade something I own (I've read chain nets are something that can be added, for instance).

Also. Jersey selection.

One of the biggest things for me.

All this looks amazing. Great decision to give us things to do on our off days. Has me anxious to see what the offseason is like. If everything works right, this has to go down as the best 2K easily. Maybe even sports game. Or even video game period for me since I mostly am into sports.

Ronnie said this is myCareer week basically. I'm sure the developer blog will be release in a couple days.

Mycourt and that Live Practice sound dope. My favorite aspect of the vids today.

Lol @ having to "earn" the right to switch jerseys after asking for this for years.
