Trading yourself mid-season 100% breaks MyCareer story.

[SirGaryColeman]

I left the 76ers while 30-2 to go to LAC.. but the "story" doesn't care. I am still getting Justice Young cutscenes, he still texts me like he's on my team, the Press still talks to me like he's' on my team, it's weird af.

The announcers have no idea what is going on.... they announce me as getting my first NBA start, they talk about how LAC drafted me, etc. etc.

I played the 76s - no mention that I was drafted by them, no mention about Justice now being a rival, etc. etc.

Instead of focusing on a linear (and now broken) story, why not let me drive the story?

If they had focused on in-game drama instead of off-court drama, then this cool stuff could have happened:

- Announcers "know" that I was traded and mention it being my debut on a new team.
- My ex-team's fans boo me every time I touch the ball
- The announcers and TNT people "know" justice and I are ex teammates and they talk about it and build it up.
- Fans react online (screenshot of them burning my jersey would be awesome)

There's a million more things... these are the things I always expected to happen in a Next Gen game. I don't want a girlfriend, a mom, and a dead dad. Why can't my actions and accomplishments in the game drive the "story"?

MyCareer has been terrible for the last 3 years. It's a shame they don't seem to think these things through to create a compelling non linear story which changes based on your decisions. It's just a washed up concept at this point it's time to scrap mycareer because it's boring and the story line is always terrible.

They make it so no matter what kind of player you create you're always gonna be regarded as the franchise player. When I think of mycareer I don't think of be the superstar mode. If you don't run up the court on offense the cpu will literally not do anything until there's 5 seconds on the shot clock. Programming is terrible. Graphicsare washed it's time for something new.

End rant

That's disappointing especially when they touted decision-based stories this year.

Did they not play the game through even 1 time?

I know they have to care on some level, do they just run out of time and say "F it, we gotta release what we got - we'll fix it later or if everyone buys it, we'll just leave it."

Well of course it breaks the story. The story is about you and Michael B. So if you go to another team ???? What did you expect? Its a linear experience. It has always been. I thought that was self explanatory , especially based on the last few stories.

Then they shouldn't give us the option to ask for a trade without Justice tagging along.

This. Requesting a trade was one of the first things I wanted to do because I just didnt like MyDUALCareer. And afaik 2k promised us a branching story where your decisions matter. So like OP I was a little surprised that after my trade to the Lakers the cutscenes story continued as if we both were still on the same team...

Im not expecting a deep roleplaying game from 2k but as already said why even ask if you want to be traded with justice or without if it doesnt matter...

I had a nice record at Denver then one day while grinding during practice my agent shows up and bugs me to stir the pot and ask for a trade. I tried to ignore him but each practice this *** hole would show up and I have to sit through this cut scene.

What's worse after the cut scene practice would be skipped all together. So he halted my grind till I demand for a trade. I was expecting the organization to fight and try to keep me. NOPE....now I play for the Kings who are at the bottom of the barrel.

I really hate unskippable cut scenes...
