NBA 2K: Fixing The Flaws With MyCareer

[threattonature]

I would like to see coaching styles play a bigger part. Have coaches who are sticklers for running the offense and are quicker to penalize you if you don't run the plays or if you take too many mid-range jumpers for instance. And on defense I'd like more options. For instance, when going against the pick and rolls some coaches want you to switch, some want you to hedge if you're the big man or maybe do an aggressive double team. I would love to see that incorporated and if you aren't following the scheme you get penalized.

Also accounting for defensive rotations has always been bad. If the defense gets into the lane then I think my defensive assignment should switch to the open guy closest to the ball instead of necessarily sticking on my man. I would like to see making smart defensive rotations accounted for and to be a positive towards grade level.

Also things such as if we run a fast break offense I should be penalized if the coach wants us leaking out and I'm a PG running inside to get defensive rebounds.

Basically I just want each team you play for to feel completely different and play a factor in if you ever switch teams.

I most definitely agree with this. Those things are a huge part of what makes an NBA season interesting. However, in 2K, the reward for these accomplishments (or attention given, regarding trades) feels wholly underwhelming. I always thought a realtime on-court presentation of an award you win would be pretty cool. Perhaps your player could even accept it in first person.

The presentation could be as simple as this:



With that in mind, I think a trophy case to hold all your honors and awards would make sense. I thought NFL 2K5's Crib was perfect for this. It was there for the people who wanted to use it, but it wasn't forced upon anyone, it didn't really restrict non-Crib gamers from any aspects, and was pretty much just a cool optional bonus:

Something I like the sound of MLB The Show 14 is this:

• There are no longer any restrictions as far as how far up or down you can move when you are promoted or demoted. It is possible to go straight from Double-A to the Majors if the situation is right, although this will be pretty rare.
• Advancement Periods are no longer set to a certain number of games or series. Promotions and Demotions can happen at any time during the regular season. Essentially, your organization is always evaluating you and getting called-up or sent down will come as a surprise, just as it would in real life.


We could have the same thing in MyCareer with the use and re-implementation of the D-League.

Would make much more sense than starting over an all-star just because you've played a set amount of games.

i just hope they can allow you to choose other brands not just Nike or Jordan!!!! why have other brands if you cannot wear them once you pick another brand anyway?

I put thoughts down on this a long time ago, now finally decided put it in video form. Really I wish they spend time ironing the mode out. The potential is there.

Another vote for the skip feature. I don't like skipping with the cross button. I press it rapidly out of anxiety and when going into an unexpected cut scene, I miss it. Instead, we should use the options button or the touchpad click to skip.

Ok so I'm checking out my player card in the MyCareer menus and guess what I stumble across... My freaking fouls tendency is set at 100! Why in god's name would 2k set my players tendencies for me? Shouldn't I be required to customize my own tendencies while creating my player from the beginning? I always wondered why the refs would call a damn foul on my player every time down the court. I can barely play the ball because the refs are so quick to blow the whistle when I go for steals. I don't spam the steal button but the fact that I can't go for a clean steal even when I time it perfectly really gets under my skin!

I signed with Adidas bro, you have to fire the friend agent and choose the sports agency as your representation...
