Why is [MyCAREER player] such a douche?

[Turbojugend]

First let me say that I actually love the story-based slant on NBA 2K's Career Mode. Last year it was my favorite mode in the game, I developed an attachment to the character I created, which propelled me to keep playing. But this year I find myself at odds with a lot of my player's reactions and responses, he acts like he's got the whole world coming to him. Look, I'm happy about a 10-day contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, I just want my player to react accordingly.

Maybe it's too early too judge, maybe the character matures throughout the course of the game and I just need to stick with it. But for now I almost want to skip through the cutscenes and flesh out my own story, which was definitely not the case last year.

I actually had to look for the "#" on my keyboard, i'm getting old...

I couldn't agree more. I mean, maybe it was because I was in the Army for 7 years, but I've always been taught to respect people in general, ESPECIALLY if it's a coach or owner of your team. These guys decide your fate, and your future in the league and/or organization. But it KILLS me when my player walks into the owner/coaches office and says 'Hey Dude/Bro/Guy you wanted to talk to me?"

I personally would NEVER call the owner of my organization "Bro, Dude, or Guy"

That's just one of my pet peeves.

I haven't gotten that far into the Mycareer yet, (just got signed to the year deal) but I don't mind the voice or the script. I just sort of look at everything like a caricature of life. The GM is always a complete douche, you're agent is an ***, and the coach is always looking out for the team. Why not give your player some attitude? I also think there's some decent options that don't make you seem as disrespectful.

Don't get me wrong, I do completely agree that the options are nice, and yeah, the agent is kind a douchey dude. I just feel like the MyPlayer dude is kind of a cocky pr**k. (can I say pr**k?) I mean, given that he's a young kid fresh out of college, and now part of an NBA organization, I guess that would probably go to my head too. I see both sides.

Either way, I love the game, and MyCareer is hands down the greatest mode in a sports game ever IMO.

I honestly feel that this game is amazing, but it has some drawbacks for me as a player. This is definitely one of them. I was playing the other day with my girlfriend in earshot and she couldn't help but laugh at how much it was NOT like me. The point of face scanning and customization is to feel immersed in the MyPlayer and unfortunately the voice and dialog alienate me from it.

On the other hand, I think the level of customization I want might be unrealistic to develop at this point, so it's not like I'm sour on the game overall because of it.

If you're looking to play a "realistic" NBA career in this mode, that's not what you're going to find here. It's complete and utter fantasy, and if you don't go in expecting that, you're going to be very disappointed.

I haven't really experienced this. I used the alternate voice and that guy seems to come off as a nice, easy going guy so far. I even unlocked that Friendly player badge.

To be fair, I've only just now begun to start so I'm not that far in.
