Ten buckets fam!

They listened and we now have ten buckets to boost in MyCareer.

Still not the same as individual attributes, sorry.

Re: Ten buckets fam!

Why are you apologizing...

Re: Ten buckets fam!

What if I want a slasher with an awesome jumpshot. It doest look like I will be able to upgrade further than that line.

I'm glad because It already takes several weeks of in game time to upgrade to 99 without VC. Now we can go more in depth without being overwhelmed.

The bucket system is still idiotic and one of the handful of things that discourages me from even sticking with a MyCareer. It does not encourage individually it in fact restricts it.

I'm really not a fan of the bucket system. Dunks and layups should not be upgraded together. I usually want to make a PG that is very good at finishing but doesn't dunk in-game. Instead of getting athletic layups when I get to the rim, I end up going for dunks.

Passing and dribbling shouldn't be lumped together either. You can be a great passer while having average handles and vice versa. And there are so many different aspects on defense that shouldn't go hand in hand either, like playing passing lanes vs shot blocking.

It looks good. The previous bucket system had too few categories. I tend to prefer this over an individual attribute upgrade system because it prevents people from really power gaming and creating really unrealistic and unintuitive characters.

That is kinda like asking, why can't I have a guy that dominates all aspects of the game.

The answer is balance and to increase variety, I believe. You will have to decide if you want a slasher that can shoot jump shots or a jump shooter that can slash. But can't have an awesome slasher that is a lights out jump shooter.

Re: Ten buckets fam!

Re: Ten buckets fam!

I'm super happy about that but I REALLY wish they gave us the opportunity to raise some of the caps by doing certain things with your career. Like making a good connection with 3 point shooters makes you want to get better at shooting so your cap raises from 6 to 7 or something like that. Nothing crazy just small raises

If you release the turbo button before you hit the shoot button you won't dunk it. You have that option

Looks good can't wait to try it out

True, but I shouldn't have to do that, especially on a fast break. I just want my player to not go for dunks. In any case, that was only one example of why I don't like the attribute buckets.

But what you guys are referring to is the cap system not the bucket system. The bucket system does NOT create balance, that's the goal of a strict cap system.

There is no actual point to a bucket system, as other posters have brought up, this prevents you from being able to pass the ball well without great handles, or maybe being a good offensive rebounder but not defensive, etc. THIS DOES NOT ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALITY.

Give me a strict cap system so I cant be a 7'0" Lebron, ok cool. But allow me to assign my limited attribute points where I want. What is everyone not understanding about this?
