NBA 2K15 MyCAREER Opening Scene Video, Face Scan and More

[swac07]

Lol you guys think 2k made this stuff about what goes in the NBA like stupid bets, clown noses, and etc..?

It happens in real life behind closed doors in the NBA and especially Nfl...as kooky as it may seem in game im sure they talked to players to receive insight on what goes on (well the G rated versions) behind closed doors on a team. I have a homie in the NFL now and the rookie stories he"s told me are not too far fetched from some of the stuff that was in 2k14...just 2k took the "mild" approach about it

Unless there is actual data to back it up, it really doesn't make any sense to say what was in demand and what wasn't...all we do know, which has come directly from the devs mouth, is that MyPlayer was once again the most played mode in the game...and that people responded to the changes last year...

COD still sells out and breaks sales records man. But that's besides the point.

The story actually does effect the core gameplay when it forces scripted sequences like making you hit have to hit a buzzer beater, scripted injuries, missed free throws for the sake of story. Etc. It also does encourage a hero ball "be the next michael jordan already" style of gameplay. It forces you to play around to the story in some cases.

You don't have to believe me, personally to me your just some dude on the other side of a cpu monitor, what you believe or don't believe isn't of any concern to me, but its something that was said.

Call of Duty was fun for a few years when it kept doing the same thing..but they never changed anything. And none of the dudes I used to play it with play anymore. And now they're trying hard as you know to try and do something different and now (to me) it seems like too much.

2K actually understands that at a certain point people want something different.
There's not much you can do with a grinding style career mode with no story.
Remember Madden's before connected careers? Boring as heck.

2K could try connected careers for people who don't want a story style career, but it's harder in basketball.

But seriously, do you not think people wouldn't get bored of playing the same career over and over with no story at all? Who's to say this year there's not different paths you can take?
The casuals are the reason the mode is played the most, and they love the story. They're the one's who'd stop playing after a while if there wasn't a story and it was just the same thing year after year.

The debate on this is very interesting and fun. I think I might make a thread on it and see what everyone thinks about my approach. Hmmm

This is hog-wash.

Maybe it is because I have professional-level sport people in my family but "pretending" to be a super-star is something that is pure fantastical to me. No matter how hard I try, there is no way I can imitate being Kobe with any hope of sim-head realism. My being "transported" somehow into the NBA experience and having the talent others have is something I can get immersed into.

It is far from realistic to presume anyone can pretend to be another actual star in 2k, as realistic as it is. Hell, even Stephan Curry couldn't figure out 2k's Stephan Curry's jump-shot!
