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

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 can understand wanting a completely offline MyCareer experience where you never have to venture out into the neighborhood and you do everything in menus (like we had last gen). That'd be great. But requesting they make essentially two separate Neighborhoods for the 5% of people who want a "sim" MyCareer experience AND have them balance each mode separately is something that'll never happen. There just isn't enough of a demand for it.


I think the most you could ever expect is to get one court, called "Sim Court" where you have to play actual basketball with your stuff from the NBA side you unlock. But that's probably it and I doubt it'd be very populated.
