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

[godylla]

Just want to double check on something quick about the face scan; is it the only option, or will we be able to choose/sculpt a face/head like in previous versions? Don't have a PS4 camera, so was wondering if I need to go get one in order to play the MyCareer mode.

Nah you don't have to use a scanned head. It's an option

I guess black males don't matter to 2K anymore. Year in and year out they continue to not put in a normal black hairstyle... They only go with the extreme ish like a high top fade, dreads, or braids (only Kawhi wears this). WHY THE FAWK WE CAN'T GET REGULAR HAIRSTYLES!!?? This ENTIRE game is urban driven, literally.

There is drama and conflict in signing contracts, gaining the confidence of your coach and teammates, making the starting lineup, making friends, losing friends, dealing with the jealousy of aging stars, dealing with the media and many other things. Instead of choosing such a specific story, they need a more modular tale that allows the player to explore all of the general aspects of being an NBA player. MOST people are going to wind up being superstars, so we're really talking about whether someone is a Duncan-type or a Kobe-type. An Iverson-type or a Rose-type, etc. There needs to be more payoff in reaction to player choices and less guidance of those choices. Imagine if someone chose the path of the laid back player, but they were on the same team as an expressive player and management bent to that guy's demands because the squeaky wheel gets the grease. This would put the conflict in the hands of the player and the "director" could hang back and push the drama that is there rather than creating it with a script. PS: EXCELLENT job with the face capture. Since the launch of this generation, 2k has lead the pack in taking advantage of the new technology while other companies bump resolution and add a few particle effects. Kudos.

Great post. To me the myplayer should be the flip side to the mygm. The chemistry issues the GM is dealing with at the macro level, myplayer should explore them at the micro level. Have it so that if your player is shooting too much other players start grumbling. Have personality clashes. Have it so other players get jealous at the rookie getting too much attention. Don't have it scripted but just based on things such as team chemistry.

Not only should it be part of MyGM and MyCareer-- it should be part of the game from the ground up-- what actually happens starts on court from Quick Games to Online, and trickles up all the way to MyGM and MyTeam building. It'd add challenge and fun to super team building balancing egos, playstyles, and the shots they need, and make other teams actually viable.

Now THAT would be an Ecomotion Engine.

Some of you have made it very clear you don't like the story mode and wont buy the game because of that reason, ok thats cool but why keep posting when this thread no longer pertains you, since you " arent going to buy the game".

That you're basing a purchase off one game-mode without knowing how the game feels and plays, and the DETALS of the MODE haven't even been REVEALED. You're an ignorant one. Really foolish.

I think if they add this, plus get rid of skill points/VC in a favor of a natural progression system you are taking about an outstanding mode that's could be unique every single time you play it.


I have said this on so many occasions guys physical mature very little during the season if at all. All growth in season should be skill and experience/awareness. Skill should develop through practice and the specific drills you work on should only impact the specific area said drill is designed to improve. Experience/awareness should only be gained through mins on the court whether real games or team practices.
