To me the fact we have HS and College should more than make-up for whatever negative you feel about a nickname or the story. No 'Sim' mode gives you that, no sim-heavy game has it, The Show? Nope. Madden? Not a chance in hell. NBA Live? No sir. NHL? Ha they wish.

Lol not really, if you can't carve out your own style what's the point of calling it my player we still don't know if it forces us to become the star no matter what

Pass (on MC)

Not a fan of fantasy role playing modes and the story line doesn't appear to be anything I want to be part of. I would prefer a mode with zero story behind the player rather than this made up scenario by Spike Lee. It's never really "yours", it's just like a first person RPG where you go down the narrow path with a few different variations.

Old career modes were alright, but this spike lee story looks bananas, I'm too pumped for this mode, and it might be the first time I finish more than a season

They wanted that changed, no one paid attention at first tho lol

Look alright......none of this matters if the coaching logic is still God awful and I'm being subbed in the game with 2.4 seconds left in a blow out

Of course there's a set path. How would you prefer it? You're an average high school player who can't make it as a starter at a low college team and doesn't even get considered for professional basketball?

This looks like being one of the most immersive and deep 'be a player' modes in a sports title. We can choose our endorsements, we have to make personal connections with people, and through them, connections with other people. We have to practise to become better players, we have to balance our contractual obligations with our playing ones. I really don't know what people want from a game. It's essentially two games, you have basketball in one half and some kind of Sims style thing in the other.

By choosing your endorsements you mean simply just doing all of them as they unlock in order as displayed by the video. You're fooling yourself if you think you won't be able to have everything unlocked by your 4th or 5th season like in 2k15.

The facade of choice is enticing but in the end it's just that. A facade.

Now granted, everything we've seen is an objective improvement over last year but let's not get carried away here thinking this is some incredible journey filled with meaningful choices because you will certainly let yourself down.

I have a unique name (not in database), so in-game I get called by my nickname. If I need to be "Frequency Vibrations" for the purpose of story dialogue, I can certainly live with that, but I 100% agree with those who hate the nickname. Not a deal breaker by any stretch (for me, at least), but hopefully there's an option to "re-brand" or something when I reach the NBA, so I can go back to being boring ol' "P" in-game...lol.

In any case, we knew about the goofy nickname from the jump, so I am already past that. The rest looks awesome and I'm excited to check it out. I'm MyLeague first and foremost, but 2K continues to impress me with the depth they go for with all these modes.

Wait,

So what happens after we make the league will there be cut scenes still or what?

90 minutes of cutscenes prior to even making it to the NBA damn thats like a whole game right there.

Hopefully we get some info this week on it. These cliffhangers are killing me.
