NBA 2K15 Livestream - MyCAREER & MyPARK, New MyPARK Blog

[Taer]

My biggest take-away from this is that It is time to detach MyCareer MyPlayers from MyPark MyPlayers.

I'm not going to judge the linearity of the MyCareer yet; it does look like the dev team is trying to listen with regards of getting rid of the in-game railroading - That is good!

We'll see if the career railroading is as bad as it looks on the surface... Overall, I am looking forward to MyCareer.

There are still a few questions and concerns I have - things like injuries... are they enabled at the start of the experience (before going in) so that players are injured as they should be or are players out for the season magically made whole as in years past?

I think it is time to experience everything and draw conclusions to the released material now.

Thanks for further clarifying things LD.

I like that you can take your MyCareer accomplishments to MyPark. It adds an endgame after you've won championships and gone on the HoF path. It has to be a one way street though, as far as ability. Applying certain cosmetic rewards to MyCareer from MyPark is ok, but all performance related abilities should be attainable in MyCareer.

This is random but Lance Stephenson did mocap and his sig shot was on the list of animations(Charlotte is gonna be a beast to use)

Having an unified achievements list or summary for both is o.k. Having a shared presentation is also ok but less desirable to me. After all we have real NBA players who perform in things like the Seattle Pro-Am and that is the closest real-life thing I see to MyPark.

What I'm getting at though is from more of a developmental perspective. Both of these modes are very rich in possibilities and their original visions are quite good. It just seems to me that in presentation, the development of one seems to be impeding on the other and it is this I don't like.

Yes. If, for some reason, my Laker dreams are dashed on the deep depth of the Laker Point-Guard bench, I am seriously thinking the Hornets might be a very nice underdog to join this year. Of course, the Spurs are looking nice as well - Parker can't be playing into his 40's.... right?

But the MyPARK rewards are just for MyPARK, right? I don't need them as a MyCAREER only player to improve?

From the video it seems like some basic stuff like put back dunks and alley oops are from rep in MyPARK, will I be unable to do those in a MyCAREER match if I never touch MyPARK?

MyPARK seems really cool for those that like it, but I'm a single player first, and being locked out from maximizing my player because I don't play online would be really disappointing.

Basically you start fresh in mypark. You can do that stuff in single player just fine. However when you go into mypark, you actually have to start basic and work your way up through rep
