I wanna play my career not be forced into situations to play out a story.

Basically this ^^^

I'll never be able to finish any 2k story unless they finally add custom sliders to this mode. otherwise year after year, I love it for the first month or two...and then once the gameplay issues become more and more obvious, and I cannot adjust them or even my player's or AI's shot percentages, I lose all interest as I can not maintain any kind of true realism...

Simballer has not misled me yet, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. With that said, I was told that I'd like the Jay-Z inspired presentation as well ... so I will wait and see.

Or mycareer may force us to play a year in Euroleague. Looks like this has the potential to be the best career mode ever or a complete bust. I am definitely intrigued and cannot wait to hear more information.

Yes, the comedic gold of this thread notwithstanding, those are some very intriguing tidbits, with as you say, the potential to make the mode great.

Hmm, so more scripted events based on the story, and more overdone "drama" i'm guessing? Meh, i'd rather them use their resources on something else more important, there's no way spike lee was cheap. I wanna like my player, the concept is great, but i'm not a fan of the forced storyline and the cheesy theatrics. I'd rather just play out my own career.

The cover looks more like their career path as easily seen by award presentations , college styles, hardens OKC career , etc etc

I have no interest in living a pre-made storyline. I want to have a blank canvas from the very beginning with no forced story. 2K needs to bring back the original style of career mode.
