Tracking national TV games and dunking on LeBron in the 4th of a close game mattering more than dunking on Austin Rivers in a blow out? Me likey.

You would upgrade your player as you went along in each mode. Why should a character in a single player mode do anything with a character in a multiplayer mode. also why have upgrades in mp outside of badges. you should choose an archetype and thats what you got. you could then earn badges to support that archetype. thats easier to balance online, and allows newcomers to jump in without all the grind.

This isn't a bad idea in theory, kind of like FIFA did it. The sad part is that you still wouldn't really have balance for those newcomers because people would be grinding badges almost instantly, especially if the Park allowed it.

Ranked Pro-Am isn't so bad because the matchmaking is a little more random but last year before it was fixed, people were playing 1 v 1's in MyCourt for hours just padding stats so they could be at the top of the leaderboards. Could you imagine the amount of 100 point games that would go on at a Park of two groups of friends purposely padding their stats to get badges? It'd be crazy and even easier than those. I mean I played a 1 v 1 v 1 game on The Stage for just 500 VC and both players ended up double teaming me the entire game while making it so one of them won. The lengths that people will go through for this stuff for even the smallest of things is ridiculous, I can only imagine that.

TL;dr:

Cheesers gonna cheese, and like always ruin it for everyone else.

An option asking to use your MyCareer with your ProAM/Park player would be the best option I think. That way if you don't want these annoying restrictions in MyCareer you can be free of them.

Why not both? When you create your player, just have a switch to choose whther it will be Park/ProAM compat. If you don't select it remove the anti-cheese restrictions.

I just hope they fix rotations in MyCareer. I'm tired of playing 48 minutes a game.
