My Player NEEDS to be revamped for NBA 2K24

Re: My Player NEEDS to be revamped for NBA 2K24

I wish your AI teammates displayed more urgency, and would run -- not walk -- to their spots, whenever a playcall is being setup.

You could argue that all this off-ball lollygagging is a realistic depiction of the energy-conscious, load-management pace at which the modern NBA is played, but it's a major drain on the gameplay's fun factor, to be repeatedly taking a "hold ball too long" penalty that crushes your teammate grade, just because the darn play won't start until everybody's walked-away the first 12 seconds of the shot clock, and finally settled into their spot.

Then if the play you want to call happens to be an ISO, you might get 2 or 3 seconds with good spacing before it'll reset, and all your teammates'll start crowding you again, with trash spacing that feels like you're a stuffed animal trapped inside a Walmart lobby’s claw machine.

It also sucks how the uncalled-for auto-screens that the CPU likes to come up and set to muck up your personal space can't be disabled, because the transition Point of Emphasis and Freelance settings are locked, and cannot be changed, even for point guard position MyPlayers. The name of the mode is MyCareer, not MyCoach'sCareer, so please let us PGs pull a LeBron and overrule David Blatt's bad playcalls.

Re: My Player NEEDS to be revamped for NBA 2K24

I'm going to need more control over the roster. I know that it's unrealistic but this mode is very unrealistic. I hate that we can only suggest 3 trade targets. I also hate that they removed the suggest Free Agent option and even when that was around we could only suggest 3 Free agents and it would wait until the offseason to sign them. I want to be able to sign free agents during the season. I saw Carmelo unsigned the entire year in the free agent pool I would have loved to have him on the roster he would have helped my team compared to the AI teammates I have now.

We need more control over the roster. Only having 3 trade suggestions a year is lame. I want the LeGM experience.

I agree. Everytime I played MyCareer, I always grinded until I got the ability to influence trades/FAs. I was never the type to trade to form a team full of superstars. I tried to add players who filled a need or fix depth issues. I just wished teammates played true form. I always end up playing My League Player Lock because I have more control of roster and teammates play better.


One minor gripe about MyCareer I always had is the Autosave. So many times, I wished I could turn off Autosave or at least there should be the ability to create individual save files in MyCareer. I don't understand MyCareer is the only sports single player mode that you can't have separate save files. Only thing I think of is people finding a way to farm VC by having separate save files. But, there have been so many times in the past where I wish I was able to go back and change things. Especially in Free agency. There's times when I would want to go back if I didn't like what my team did in Free Agency

Right now how you plays doesn't matter at all. Rookie of the month, Sheps still better. Player of the week, Shep still better. 0 points on 0 for 40 shooting, no big deal. One of the reporters said great win tonight - we lost dude.

I passed on NBA2K23 this year. With PS Plus, I could download it and play it. But, seeing most of the story for MyCareer this year, no thank you lol. Didn't they say before 2k22 that they wanted to go a away from these linear storylines. I'm tried of these made for 90s TV storylines. They are using resources to create a BS story every year instead of actually fixing issues inside the mode. I don't mind seeing cut scenes, but don't force a story. Just try to recreate the life of a rookie NBA player.

If MyCareer is the same next year, I'm likely passing on it as well. They need to overhaul the offline aspect of MyCareer

They got lazy. Same manager as last year, same coaches, fans say the same thing, they somehow couldn't come up with a new name - have to be MP again. And whole bunch more. They say fam a lot. Sill no idea what that means.

I noticed that when I watched the videos. It's not uncommon for them to use the same NPCs in stories in different roles for two straight games. But, they pretty much just recycled the same NPCs in similar roles and just added in the Shep vs MP story.

I always preferred NBA 2k15 story. Outside of the terrible NBA voice acting, that story felt more grounded and realistic. You started out as a 10 Day guy that had to had prove himself and interacted with NBA players. I don't care about the rapping career or the fashion career. Then they're trying too hard to include the Neighborhood/City in the city. I don't play online, so I don't want to play park games. The mode is too online-centriic for me now.

My thing is just fix AI and have AI Teammates play true to self and I'll do with everything else that comes with the mode. They dumb down Teammates in order to force you have to be a phenom to win games. For me, I rather see difficulty only affect Human players and/or add sliders to the mode. MyCareer is the only career mode that doesn't have sliders. I get the VC implications. But, just cut a % of VC or XP gained if you change default sliders. I would love to be able to adjust a AI teammate slider. I would definitely rather sacrifice VC to have AI be more realistic

Fully agree with #2. Starting out at 60 OVR has always been a gripe for me. It's all because they know millions of gamers are willing to pay to get to 85 OVR in order to be competitive in Online play. I'm not an online player, I don't want to be restricted because of that. Actually, I think 80 OVR should be the highest they allow people to upgrade to out of the box.

I'm all for having draft pick slot to determine the OVR you start out at. And also that your physical ratings should be near their max ceiling from the start. It would be more realistic. Just have it where, if you have a high athletic ceiling, that the grind is a little harder.

I rather start at a 75 OVR and feel like I can immediately make a realistic impact, but make it where the grind is a little harder. I rather the grind be harder, but be able to start out as a higher OVR player. I don't think you should be able to get to 90 before the 2nd season.

Re: My Player NEEDS to be revamped for NBA 2K24

I'd just like for my CPU teammates to be capable of making open shots on Hall of Fame difficulty.

I went to play center for the Warriors thinking Klay and Curry would be giving me easy assists, but the Trash Bros only make like 10% to 15% of their wide open shot attempts.

You need the right guys, but dimer does help. haha. It's nonsensical who can hit and who can't, but some guys really go hard. Cpu is really playing nice on HoF though, they are really wetting it up. I mean, they aren't lool, still shooting like 33% but I'm playing outstanding D. They are making some tough shots and not just cheesing when I'm away from the ball, like they are making plays on me. It's getting better, but yeah the artificial boost for D on HoF is stupid and it affects everything imo. All those intangible ratings.


Like they make you play yourself. But yeah, for instance I got Haliburton on my team, and I was trying so hard to get him traded. lol I asked for a trade and they traded for Zach Lavine and KEPT HIM. I was like man I thought yall were gonna at least ship him out. But he can't hit a shot to save his life and I'm pretty sure he's super wet in real life. So you just gotta trade those bummies away. There are worse ones, the guys who can drive in real life but can't on HoF... also sad.

This mode has no longevity after you finish story/quests. Like at least let me customize draft classes so I can role play or something.

Re: My Player NEEDS to be revamped for NBA 2K24

they got skateboards. They know what they are doing. You gotta do tricks. This ain't TONY HAWK. I'm doing basketball on there, tho, and you know what? If you actually understand basketball and don't A. wanna learn or B. want to get over your ego, you should be on my player 5s online.



They need to work on that, too!


The whole interface, endlessly slogging thru the city. GET YOUR SKATEBOARD. I gotta skate. I remember someone had me try once and I couldn't even olley. All I did during the reg **** was do an olley, too. Haha. Tony Hawk was fun, but get that out of here. Stop making it so hard to get a game, the easiest thing in the freaking game should be to join up with your friends. It should be a button on main UI. It's the most popular game, or one of them. Did they take out team up? Why the heck can't you easily start a team up game as well, if you have 10 people down. MAKE SOME FRIENDS. People are different. I am working on a groundbreaking theory that there are TWO TYPES OF BRAINS. I think it makes perfect sense, but I won't expound on it. Yes, Rec is some of my research. I'm not joking lool. Think about it, it makes so much sense!! And people are so mad at each other. The sort of drug addict community really blew my logic out. I have inner peace, for now.



Think about it. Autism isn't a disorder. There are two types of brains. Nobody has published that, tho, so I MIGHT HAVE TO. So, conversation, especially in a heated time devolves quickly when people have 'that brain' and you have 'another brain.' A lot of people who are good at shooting suck at knowing where they are. A lot of people who know how to move suck at shooting (meee.) But I can wet the hell out of stuff in rhythm.


RHYTHM is the key to winning basketball games. The best point guard knows how to run the game. People get in rhythm from different things. I am type B brain so I had to learn so much in order to reach that conclusion haha. I am able to communicate very effectively with type A though. I could never solve, "why are people so different?" I deed et.



So, you have to establish a basic level of communication. Everyone is on edge but emotion is a reaction. A GIF REACTION. It boils down to logic. Put everything on logic and just chalk it up to the game. GET U SOME REC.


Find people like you and have fun. If the other team enjoys flopping and cheesing let them, but to be honest once you practice, if you ever thought of the idea of playing online, you can win regardless. There is a lot of 'system theory.' 2k is getting better because it's merging 'system theory/quantum thinking' with nub stuff. That's why we say they sold out, but their game is of the quality that I can bust anyone... I have off games, sure, whatever, but I can compete with anyone and probably win my match up or protect my area. Remember, you might be a system thinker and thus you prefer scripted stuff etc. That's what looks more real, that's why I say LET THE BOT DO HIS WORK ( when people quit out and won't let the bot put it back haha.)


So just learn the system on rec, put up with the 'bullying' because people don't understand your brain and are too heated to even think.



I feel like 2k is trying to create an environment to harvest information, but they didn't think other people would be IN THE FIELD.



Just remember, it's not any race or anything, it's the logical fact that their brain is different than yours. You gotta work together to achieve something. And then you win by 50 every time and watch the other team melt down. Spread the news kids, be up front. Be like my brain different. You know how many times we've uttered that exact phrase? My brain is different. It's different HOW, but nobody thought it's a DIFFERENT BRAIN. You feel me? Enjoy.


haha

Re: My Player NEEDS to be revamped for NBA 2K24

Next year is the 10yr anniversary of the switch to next gen (PS4 at the time), which was the start of the mycareer story era, and run of games that a lot in the older community still look back on as the golden age of 14, 15, and 16.

Requests to turn the servers back on for these games have been pretty consistent ever since they were turned off. Well how about if 2k remaster them for the PS5 in 10 year anniversary editions?



They could make money on top of their yearly releases - maybe even have them on a subscriber service, sell more VC on top of what they already do. Could be a win for the community and some good vibes with 2k again.



I didn't buy 23. First game I haven't bought since 2k13, and I probably won't buy another 2k again, but I'd throw money at some of these older games if they turned them back on. I hate the way the new games have been monetised to the nth degree, but I'm giving them a chance to make more and more money on top of what they already do.



Sell the games as fairly barebones - no myteam, just MC and parks, and let folks just have fun with 2k again, because it's sorely lacking at the moment.

Re: My Player NEEDS to be revamped for NBA 2K24

Yeah, I know, but that's why a 10yr anniversary would give them the opportunity to re-release the last good myplayer experiences. They don't even have to remaster them - but that was more of a way to remove all the old sponsorships and update the rosters etc, that might cause headaches. It's a way for them to do something they said they don't do (turn servers back on) in a way that saves face and provides some excitement in the community again.
