MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

[nyccc]

This might be a minor issue and not a big deal to others but it is a realism killer for me. Add that with scripted storylines, but thats another issue.

I am not a MyCareer player at all mostly a Park/ProAM/pVp player. With the addition of earning more awards/VC playing on a high difficulty, I am interested in playing MyCareer. Add that with scripted storylines, but thats another issue.

Anyways,

I remember playing 2k18 around the same time, early September last year. As a Knicks fan, I wanted MyPlayer to play for the Knicks and so I picked them. Then a week after the game was released, MELO was traded to the THUNDER. In MyCareer I had to be around Thanksgiving time already.

I know this is a bad example because its not 2ks fault that a team made the trade.

But there are other slight turn offs because of realism. Another is player progression in the NBA. Yes, you can't predict who has a breakout season but every year the NBA is full of surprises. I am sure those who started their MyCareer on Day 1 had watered down Donovan Mitchell in their MyCareer.

I saw in the other thread that revealed Rosters in 2k19 and saw D Wade not on the Heat. Imagine playing for/against the Heat and IRL D-Wade signs and he isn't there? IDK it may be just me but its very annoying lol.

I know the solution many will say is , "Just start your MyPlayer on Opening Day in NBA IRL" but nah f that, I want to start MyPlayer and put him against people online.

A solution I thought of is

Don't allow users to start their season until they want to but still allow them to play online. Hope this makes sense. And when the user wants to start the season for their MyPlayer, load the Official 2k Roster to their game.

Again not a big deal, but I know I am not the only person that is bothered by this.

Man can you edit the edit of the thread pls?

I found it very misleading, sounds like there some gameplay/mode issues to be fixed with a dayone patch

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

This thread sounds like a personal problem. I could care less if Ben Simmons ends up being a sniper from 3 point land and in my career he still has a 45 rating from three just because I started my season before the real season started. At the end of the day all I want to do is get my guy good enough to play against other people online.

In my opinion There is very few people that will be “annoyed” that their my career mode has watered down players who break out in real life without notice. Nobody wants to wait that long to see that just to start their my career late with appropriate ratings for those break out players

Just cause you don't want it doesn't mean nobody. And in the solution I put, i mentioned how they could give users an OPTION. You're right it is a personal problem that I am wondering if anyone else feels. I clearly state how minor it is and think it would be a nice feature. Ill just take your response as if you didnt understand or read what I said entirely.

This might be a minor issue and not a big deal to others but it is a realism killer for me.

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

You aren't in the real NBA. Your "NBA" is a separate universe. Everyone playing must accept this. As soon as you begin it diverts from the real NBA because you are in it.

Do you also complain that Marvel movies aren't realistic?

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

There are trades happening in the game anyway, so you never have the same rosters with the real NBA.

Re: Early Release Date Causes Minor Realism Issues in MyCareer

Can you do more than one MyCareer? If so, then maybe have the first one for online with little regard paid to the NBA side. Or, do one on another account on your console. Like have the main one you play with online. Then have like the guest account MyPlayer as the more NBA centric one you start around the season opening.

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

So wait, trying to understand your complaint. You don't want the entire world to play MyCareer early because the team you want to start your career with might trade one of their star caliber players before the season starts?

I'm really having a hard time understanding this. Teams trade players throughout the year.

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

not to sound rude but the game haven't drop yet and already im seeing this type of complain/suggestion from online users. like cmon... dont flood this forum with this Myplayer, Career, Pro am or whatever online games with this none sense. somebody already crying about nerfing stuff on other thread and they just played a demo version.

again not to sound rude..but just chill and play the game your playing a fantasy game of yourself. Fantasy and realism is not in the same sentence. that includes VC also. Peace.

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

You dismissed the logical solution; if you want more realism then wait to play the game. That's on you. Don't tell 2K to limit what we other people want to do. It's up to you to get the experience you want.

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

You cant complain about it not being the real NBA since the real NBA doesnt have your player anyway. Do you also complain when teams in the game make trades that they didnt make in real life?

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

I mean I see his point to a certain degree but all you have to do is make one player when the game comes out and one player when the season starts simple fix.

I myself like to play the game as close to the real thing as possible but I also realize it's not the real thing. Me personally I feel for 69.99 or 99.99 I should be able to make every player in the game a 99 if I want to but I love just playing the game to play. just have fun my g

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

That still wouldn't solve your issue. Teams make trades in mycareer. Your rosters will never be accurate. Some players play well others don't. A rookie might break out late in the season, you wouldn't get those ratings unless you started your career at that later date. You have to understand, once you start this mode it's now your own little NBA universe. It's not gonna be accurate to the real NBA. If you want an accurate representation of the NBA then you have to play my league controlling all teams.

Re: MyCareer Issue with Early Release Date

First off everyone RELAX.

I play probably up until november in MyCareer Season and could care less about it. It was just a minor suggestion because I thought it would be a cool feature.

The sass and snarkyness in this thread is crazy!

Im not complaining, its just something I think would be cool to add in MyCareer.

I stated in my possible solution the "OPTION" for users to start their season on OPENING DAY. So IF YOU DONT WANT TO, YOU DONT HAVE TO.

Another thing, side note, if yall speaking this spicy, get your 3 and play against my squad for Stage/VC any day. Im on PSN.

Thats already in the game. However, you have to wait for opening day for it to be available...
