In the end I'm not NBA material so MyPlayer just doesn't suspend the disbelief like playing as Georges Niang, Deyonta Davis, or Demetrius Jackson does.

Exactly and another good part imo was that the mode wasn't tied to the servers. So whenever (too often) they were down you could still play it, whereas with myplayer your file would basically be lost (no more online) if you played it offline. Anyway, i had three files and i enjoyed all of them a lot:

- jimmer fredette who i pretty much turned into current steph curry
- travis leslie (who?) into d-wade lite
- and kyrylo fesenko iirc into shaq lite

I didn't necessarily get their ratings on that level but just enough to have them be able to perform like that. Good times.

I had a few.

Kendall Marshall
Sam Young
Draymond Green (He was a 64 in 2K13)
Jared Jeffries (My fav, I'm a hoosier homer)
Miles Plumlee (But I totally suck @ center)

As I think about it: While I agree that players should be somewhat capped online, I think that builds should be good at about two things as opposed to one, at least offensively. Like, what happens when you have, say, a sharpshooter build, and 2K decides it's going to turn your jumper off (like it loved to do almost randomly this year)? Same thing with a slasher. You go up against an insanely good rim protector, now you're just dead weight out there, and your defender can now harass other players because your player can't make wide open warm-up jumpers.

Yeah, you'll say 'well, move the ball around.' While I agree with that, it leaves too little room to correct your rhythm because you won't be able to really drive, and that leaves room for your defender to step back a bit, and even double team other players. You really can't do much of anything else now except play defense, because you're nothing more than a body out there, and the sometimes harsh caps severely limit what you're able to do.

thank you thank you thank you. finally someone speaking my language. this is what i can't stand about mycareer. they turn your jumper completely off. brick fest for wide open 3's and mid range shots. so if you're a slasher or just not a bona fide 3pt shooter. you will be worthless on offense.
