So is he going to keep following u if you ask for a trade because after I win yr 1 I like to be traded and try to win with a new team...

I personally didn't really enjoy the Jackson Ellis story whatsoever. I just put up with it because I like the MyCareer experience.

My main issue with these story modes is that it has next to zero replay value. With the news that looks like you're shoe horned into not getting drafted and Doc Rivers ALWAYS joining your team in the 2nd season, it has really turned into a "play it once to enjoy the story then never play it again" kind of thing. To me, that is very disappointing.

However, I'm very excited about this part which I think a lot of people are overlooking:

The new MyCareer mode lets you skip games if you prefer to move more quickly through seasons.

Not having to sit and play 50 games a season a because they're all "Rivalry" games is huge to me.

If i join the GSW, i'm expecting them to fire Steve Kerr for Doc Rivers? I don't think Doc would join GS in real life after the whole Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut incident.

Is the pre-game show with Ernie and Shaq before every game? If it is, I think it would be better to have it on 1 or 2 days a week so that people don't get sick of it so soon.

If you really want things to be realistic, start a 30-team MyLeague and place your created self in the draft pool (or straight on a team if you'd like to choose your destination), come draft time see what team selects you and then just start your career that way. When you play a game set your preferred position to whatever you are when you're on the court and then control the team when you're off, you can realistically progress your skills as well if you have the discipline and then have a hand in all transactions involving you. It's a lot of work, but if you really want the barebones non-story driven MyCareer, it's what you're going to have to do to get the most realism out of it.

I will do this and have done this since 2K11.

That being said, it's frustrating that 2K hasn't been able to produce a realistic career mode experience and that I've been forced to create my own via Association/MyLeague for so long. The fact that you cannot sim to your next appearance is a bit of a bear as well (I usually create a player in the mid to high 70s so I don't sit too much, but imagine how tough it would be for guys who want to go late or undrafted, or even want to be career role players/sixth men.)

I get that MyCareer as it exists now is probably here to say. While I don't quite understand the appeal I recognize that a lot of people like, so I won't bash the mode or the people that enjoy it. Just hope people who want a more 'simulation' (? the use of the word is becoming weird on these boards) experience can look forward to a Connected MyLeague or something of that nature moving forward.
