This has to change as well. I hate that there's no create a team or player. My player doesn't feel the same if you can't get him to look like yourself. Also I do like the fact we can overlap some of the accessories now, just not enough of them. Full leg sleeves but no socks. And what happened to the headband option it's gone (I think this was a glitch and will be patched). Again I love ALL the additions, but why so many subtractions 2K? Maybe after they get all the kinks out they can add these things to 2K15.

Ok so there is post game highlights but just not in quick game mode. But why not 2K? The more I play this game the more I love it. BUT ONLY ON THE COURT.
Also anyone else experience an inbound glitch where the icon is stuck on a front court player and you can't switch off or pass it in, resulting in a 5 second call? This happened to me 4 times in one game. But only that one game. Hope it was an isolated incident.

Btw that technical foul for cursing has been in the game for a few years but only with xbox 360 kinect

Was Harlan's "right between the eyes" on CG? I just heard it on NG...it was amazing!!

I thought it wasn't allowed?

You gave him a new accessory and put it to team color 2, and it didn't change color for home and away?

Has anyone in MyCareer became a starter yet??? I average 39.7ppg and im stuck on 28min per game in the rotation. My rating is an 84 and im the point guard for the Bucks behind Brandon Knight....WTF. I have played 18 games now and im getting bored with this My Career. The coach keeps telling me im getting extra minutes but still stuck on 28!!!!! WTF

Totally agree. The help d settings definitely needs to return.

I really don't know what my options are as far as playing with multiple teams within one season/franchise. BRING BACK 30 TEAM CONTROL!

Totally agree. I have friends come over and we put money on seasons with multiple teams.I wonder why they took this away.

What happened to 2k share? They also need to fix the menu it's to hard to find modes on the game. With that said the game play is great, and so or the graphics.

If you need that fix with old modes, then go back to current gen. This is a showcase for what the ps4 can do. I'm sure time constraints had a bit to do with it too. They focused on a new engine and graphics obviously. Modes will come when they are ready. Probably next year

Exactly . What's the point in complaining when they said they will offer two distinct games. It's your choice pick one.

I don't think it's confusing. Just go through it and you see where everything is.

It does look awful. But 2K has always had awful looking menus.

They need to look at EA (I know...) or even Battlefield or Assassins Creed. Those are clean menus.

But maybe I just need to spend more time to develop a different approach than CG. More than likely, the only online play I'll participate in are some sim games with the friends I got on the PSN from here, and sim leagues from here. My actually enjoying MyGM and MyCareer a lot. Contrary to popular belief, MyGM feels nice and challenging. Its actually gonna be a bit of a grind to build my Sixers up, rather than just signing the best FA in the offseason because I have the money. I'm just having to completely tune out the crazy CPU trade logic, and make my own moves as realistically as possible. The draft was pretty nice and there were some late round sleepers.

That's what gets on my nerves. The trade logic is still awful. You might as well do a fantasy draft for MyGM. They really need to look into this type of stuff for 2K15.

# 393 Mike Lowe @ 11/18/13 11:27 AM

There are a few random bugs, nothing major.

I don't mind the VC, but I do wish we could earn it in simmed games so that I could get through seasons faster.

I'm not sure that's something they'll patch...since this is the only mode I'd play, I'll wait and see on whether I end up selling this or not.

# 394 shegotgame @ 11/18/13 12:13 PM

Honestly, I'm too busy playing to give a solid impression; it's that good! Yes, there are house keeping issues--counterintuitive menus, buggy new features (the patch cometh!)--but the good far outweighs the bad; anyone who suggests that the work they put in isn't evident or that it plays the same is being disingenuous.
I don't even understand a lot of the MY GM complaints: this is year 1 guys. We know 2K implements features gradually (and I applaud this strategy; if you can't get it the way you wanted then, yes, move in a stepwise fashion); do you really think those features you loved are never coming back? Also, I'm curious to know if those people actually play the game or use it like a baseball stimulator. To each his own, but if the latter, how can you complain about endeavors taken to improve the gameplay at the cost of overlooking 30 team control, etc.?

Bah, humbug. Good job Beluba, LD2K, and anyone I forgot. Next Gen's future is bright.

New thing I noticed: the ball is really live. A loose ball was hit and it bounced upward instead of toward the sideline. Lots of charges for people who just put their head down and dive to the basket--they deserve this punishment. Like old school NBA promos, I love this game.

I just had a hard time finding everything at first. Agree with you on EAs menu

# 398 NDAlum @ 11/18/13 01:06 PM

I'm enjoying on the court very much. Off the court needs a major overhaul IMO. I will not put that much time into 2K14 because of the depth issues man. I'm not a big fan of VC at this point. I'd like for Online Association to work properly in 2K15 and then I'll get into that.

Right now it's fun and for the first time I'll mess around with MP because the MyGM just doesn't do it for me at the moment.

Here's to hoping the off the court gets a major boost moving forward!

# 399 troyl @ 11/18/13 01:48 PM

How do you customize your face in My Career?

Can you implement customized rosters into My Career like previous years?

How do you simply create a player?

Someone had to be joking with having no audio/sound on Facebook uploads, not to mention the quality of the uploads are unwatchable pixelated blurs, it runs in 1080 but uploads are likely below 480.

The My Career feels less personal and more like a scripted reality show. That was my favorite part of the game and now it feels less customizable. The gameplay and graphics are obviously improved but at the expense of customizing your experience. The potential is there.... I'm ready to return my entire system if a patch doesn't drop fixing these issues.

It doesn't happen all the time but definitely enough to notice it.

Ditto! I play good defense and get like 2 tough blocks just to have the ball gracefully drop into the person i blocked twice hands or a teammate hands for an easy score. They need to fix this
