Re: 2k20: Can we finally separate MyCareer from the online modes? And improve online

Firstly, we need to separate MyCareer from Park/ProAM.

For online guys, we are stuck mindlessly playing against AI because we start off at such a low overall, no one wants to use that trash character online and no one online wants to play with you. It makes you feel miserable to HAVE to play against CPU and do mindless dumb actions like put up 100 every game or turn the ball over 50 times for a stupid badge. This makes it feel torturous. I get that it is part of the VC addiction and 2K wants you to feel miserable but still it's worth voicing an opinion.

For the offline guys, they are limited in so many ways. They have the archetypes, can't use custom rosters, control the rosters, custom sliders, and I'm sure there are a bunch of other features that could be implemented if it weren't for online balance.

It is forcing together modes that should not be combined anymore. Everyone is losing something with these modes being merged. We should push to have no relation between the two in 2k20.

Separating Arcade and Sim online MyCareer game modes

It can go a couple routes here. But looking at different responses to the recent tuners has shown me that compromise really doesn't make sense. The only issue may be splitting up the player base but I don't think this would be too drastic of an effect.

I think we should have Park and JRC/ProAM for the arcade crowd who want greens to be 100%, zig zags, limitless range and all that mumbo jumbo.

Then have another "Park" with sim settings, no greens, no boosts, and realistic balance. Open 3s drop closer to 50% than 100%. And have ProAM with the same settings as well.

Then balance these modes with the desires of the target players in mind. Arcade players can dunk like there's no gravity and sim players can enjoy more realistic gameplay. Everybody wins.

Offline, sim online, and arcade online all get to experience the game how they like it. The grind may need to be adjusted, some kinks will need to be worked out, but the game should improve by allowing different modes instead of trying to balance the offline aspects with online, and of the different online players' agendas.


I've been asking for separate modes since 2k17 i only play the actual career part of MYCAREER the vc,exp and even buying vc should be a separate grind from park/pro am
