Sounds like I'm one of the only people here that thinks the Doc Rivers thing is kinda cool... ?

I can see both sides of the argument. I can see how it would take away from the realism, but it isn't going to discourage me from playing the mode.

It's neat, but again, it feels force because I know there is no way in hell he'd coach a team like the Kings or Hawks. Since we start in January and will get FA couldn't they have just had him try to recruit us to the Clippers HARD and he gives us certain things over going to another team(kind of like if you chose to stay with your friend or go with another agent in 2k14).

You have limited control over what happens in the mode other than the games you play and choices the mode allows you to make.

I agree completely.

My issue is not just the realism, but rather how it can go against gameplay. If you take advantage of the new coaching mechanic and form a bond with your coach and go deep into the playoffs or win the championship, having that coach fired for Doc would totally dismiss all of your good decision making and gameplay. Particularly on a system team like the Knicks. If you and Fisher run Jackson's triangle and have a good thing going into year 2, how can bringing in Doc enhance the player's experience?

This was a weird decision, because it goes against some of the other changes they put in, like simming games and having a relationship with your coach.

you can look at MyCareer as more of the Story mode of the game. and everything else is more open ended

Guess I'm gonna lean towards creating SF and trying to make that Clippers roster. Bring some European discipline and fundamentals.
