Do cutscenes and storyline in MyCareer = repetitive mode?

[CRIP4LIFE]

i mean year over year... will 2k produce a new story every year? won't that be cost/time prohibitive? doesn't this mean, by default we'll be asked to wear a clown nose in 2k15? and bob from maintenance will continue to have 10 birthdays per season in 2k16?

i believe storyline cutscenes and coded story have no place in a sports game because of this reason alone. ultimately i believe this punishes the loyal year-over-year players.

what say you? do you think this means repetition in next years, and subsequent years, MyCareer/MyGM modes versus this version 2k14? do you want cutscenes and story in your sports games?

I personally love the storylines in My player modes i hate the boring game after game like in previous NBA 2k games after you win the title not much to even play for

I haven't seen anybody ask this yet but I've been thinking about it as well. Personally, I really like the addition of cutscenes and storylines, even though some of them were not executed well. I think the cutscenes add more depth and interest rather than just game after game. I would actually like to see them expand on cutscenes and make various different storylines. The choices you make now don't really change much and I would like to see different paths for your NBA career, which would add replay value.

2k might have dug themselves a hole with the cutscenes. If they keep the same scenes it will become dull very quickly but if they keep making new ones then they might lose time to improve/test the gameplay, which is most important.

While I would like more cutscenes, the gameplay still needs refining all over. Also they haven't updated most ratings and tendencies since 2k13 so I would like to see that fixed.

Chauncey billups and Caron butler are still rated in the 80s. Lolwut.

I really enjoy the story too, but I can definitely understand what you're getting at. Ideally there'd be a "new" story every year, one that's more based on how you play and handle yourself off the court. I would love to pick from a couple of presets, i.e. the generational talent and predicted number 1 draft pick, the journeyman, the international etc.

I mean, let's be real. Sports development is more or less copy/paste. There's not a huge amount of work that goes into developing something new every year. There's only so much enjoyment we as customers can get out of gameplay tweaks and updated jerseys/courts. In my mind they took a step in the right direction this year in trying to flesh out the experience of what was previously a bunch of quick games in sequence.

Nope, i didn't ask for a cliche storyline that causes scripted outcomes in certain scenarios. Don't make a story or cutscenes and use those resources on something more important. The story and dialogue is kinda cheesy anyway.

I don't care what they do as long as they get rid of the scripted outcomes and scripted dynamic goals for games. I don't ever want to feel like I've lost control and am playing out some stupid cheesy RPG plot instead of my own NBA story

Im currently in my second season and so far there has been a decent amount of cutscenes, also bob has alot less bithdays now so its a bit less repetitive.


by the way once you hit 90 overall you will get you signature shoe, I get asked this alot

i can see it being ok if they allowed you to carry your player over from year to year. then they can just add more cutscenes and stuff for later in your career. but if you have to start over every year and you keep seeing the same scenes it is definitely an issue.
