NBA 2K15 Ships on October 7th, Pre-Order and Get the KD MVP Bonus Pack

[Clappington]

Their bread and butter right now is MyCareer and MyTeam, thats what the mass majority of 2k users play (not all so dont get on me) from a company stand point why wouldn't 2k give pre order bonus that caters to those two game modes? It's what most user play so in all honestly did they a pretty good job on that, if some of yall are mad at 2k for this, should take it up with other 2k users because they are the reason. The moment 2k made MyCareer/MyPlayer it became their #1 mode. Plus in this generation gaming is moving forward to multiplayer modes, so honestly I understand why 2k isn't putting forth a lot of effort in single player mode, when the mass majority plays online multiplayer. I know some of yall are loyal fans and I am also but from a company stand point you have to cater to the needs of the majority.

MyCareer focus? Awesome.

Presenting leg sleeves like its some sort of premium reward? Not so awesome.

Makes me think it's going to be like this year where you choose between making your player good or buying ridiculously overpriced gear so he doesn't look like every single other generic player out there.

I understand vc as a priority to make money . So having it as a focus in myteam or the park is understandable .


But who wants this crap in their association mode ?

Not true.

The "MyPlayer" mode has been in the game since 2K5 dropped in 2004.
10 years ago, the mode was called "24/7".

It has just been upgraded in different ways over the years.
And has morphed (little by little) into what we see today.

Look, the entire game has shifted away from it's core roots of providing deep player customization tools that allows you to create your very own 'likeness' and step on the court to compete with other NBA players.

This is what PUTS PEOPLE IN THE GAME.
Fundamentally speaking, this is WHY people play sports in the first place.... TO PARTICIPATE.

TO GET IN THE GAME AND SEE WHAT WE GOT. AGAINST THE BEST. (OR AGAINST OUR PEERS.)

It's not about multiplayer, or single-player, because you can still 'team-up' & play with friends.

It's really about the fact that the ENTIRE focus of this 2K series has shifted toward 'collecting NBA Pokemon Cards'... while spending VC on every other menu screen.

For some people.... Sports & Pokemon do not mix. At all.

Especially when the 'participation' & 'unique' aspects of the game are being stripped away at the same time.

Thus, everyone gets forced to play the same way and/or use the exact same characters.

So 2K is basically saying.... Wanna play a few NBA games?

OK... Pick Lebron, or pick Melo, or pick KD, or pick Westbrook, (or pick whoever is hot right now)...
Or enter this code to open this Pokemon Pack and see who you get...
Or use one of our 23 (ready-made) guys off the shelf...

But whatever you do....YOU CANNOT BE YOURSELF.
You cannot create your very own 'likeness' and 'participate' in order to get a 'unique' gaming experience.

Not anymore. No Way.
That's not what the 'majority' wants.

You MUST use Lebron (like everyone else), if you want to play our game.
If you want to create a player that resembles yourself... Go play a different NBA game.

2K got some of us fooled into thinking it's about what the 'majority of gamers want'...
Instead of questioning what the majority of 2K Accountants want.

Because this is what happens when 2K lets their 'business managers' dictate to their 'game developers' HOW a video game should be built, and what features are MOST important and gets built FIRST.

As a result, when you have a 'limited amount of time' to write code...

VC-bought Pokemon cards WILL take priority over CAP tools. Or anything else.

They are already pushing VC on us as a pre-order bonus, LOL.
