Which NBA 2k My Career was most enjoyable to you and why ?

[GisherJohn24]

VC aside, which my career kept you playing. I'm really enjoying 19. Although if I remember I think I really enjoyed 15 too. I got bored with 17 I think.

2K16 solely because of that Boss Key Yacht scene.

On the current gen systems my favorite is 2k17. I really enjoyed the dynamic duo with Justice Young and playing an entire season was a breeze.

But I still think my favorite career experience was 2k12. For some reason I couldn't get enough of it and I had a dynasty with the Charlotte Bobcats going and an all time rivalry against the OKC Thunder in multiple NBA finals. Tyrus Thomas was my sidekick and all-nba. I'll never forget the heartache after winning our 4th championship together, he decided he wanted his own team and signed with the Chicago Bulls. To this day it is by far the longest mycareer i've ever played and the only one I was able to reach the hall of fame in.

2K12.

Combine, draft, G-league. Basketball related stuff.

Dream scenario is they add the production of current gen MyCareer to the pure "here's hoops" of last gen, and I'm good.

Reality is it'll be all about balancing online competition & getting us to ride tandem bicycles in the Neighborhood with our homies to go buy some more kicks to rock in the Park.

Cuz all of that can't be its own mode. That would somehow, intrinsically, hurt sales & profits. Even tho there's no data showing that online MyPlayers give a damn about the offline offering.

2k10. Being a 39 overall in the nba humbled you. Got sent down to the g-league. Playing all those hours just upgrade my 3PT to 70 felt amazing as a 46 overall. Having that annoying agent in the bottom left corner roasting you after every game felt great. Nothing better than being on the break and bricking a point blank wide open layup with nobody but you past halfcourt

2K11 and 2K13 are still my favorites to date. 2K11 has the most realistic build up to the NBA yet and the gameplay was fun. 2K13 is probably my number 1 overall though. I could run plays effectively, each game felt different (probably due to bedwardsroy19’s roster back then). Had a 6’8 SG on the Bulls and a 6’3 PG on the Knicks, each one were the most fun I’d had in MyCareer.

haha, yea everyone thinks we want good players or whatever, but I miss the harder MC. I liked being benched, yea I don't know if I ever got sent down to the d league but I liked some level of pressure that was more than 'I'll just work on my badges now on rookie."



It's like when your coach would be like RUN THE PICK AND ROLL and you'd take over the game, lead your team back and win vs a great team and he'd be like WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN THE PICK AND ROLL MORE? haha. It was stupid, but it kind of made it interesting, too. That's another of the greater ironies of MC is that in the grind discussion, people seem to believe that they have to have such a mechanic to make the game harder, but really they've made the game way easier (just forced time consumption), and you only need to be like a 70-75 to absolutely dominate on hall of fame. Plus there is no coach ready to yank you if you make a bad decision, no getting demoted, losing your role... I mean maybe you can, but it's not really within the realm of logical possibility. You'd have to try.


now that I'm back into franchise and gm modes I have no real interest in single player lock modes. Divorced from online comp, it's just too easy to find a way to exploit the cpu when you can control only one player.

Re: Which NBA 2k My Career was most enjoyable to you and why ?

I miss and enjoyed the the Summer League, D-League, and training camp stuff. If you sucked you got demoted, like that's awesome. One of my favorite things about Road to the Show is I'll talk to my friends and we all have different experiences. You end up on a mediocre franchise and you do great in the minors you might get called up by the end of the season. I had one year where it took over a year to get called up from the minors and was relegated to being a pinch hitter. My experience was personal and exclusive to me and I loved it.

I don't wanna be Freq (RIP Vic), Prez, don't ever wanna do the fresh squeeze celebration with Michael B Jordan, I'm not AI, a former DJ turned pro player.

I just want MyCareer to be my career and mine only.

Wow I might have to bust out 2k12

I enjoyed 2k13 immensely. That was the only one I played last gen, so I'm going to default to that one. 16-19, I don't know if I've played more than a few games on purpose (excluding 17. I grinded 17 a lot for that "Grand Badge" thing. It just wasn't as enjoyable as 13 was)

Oh i remember 2k17 on hall of fame where the AI literally stands there for 20 seconds on offense and does nothing. 17 had the worst AI ever

yea that and meaningful choices. You'd think they would have gone deeper on that, too. Get the whole personality aspect to it. Get traded because you don't fit in with the fan base... remember stuff like "carry my luggage rook" and you'd be like hmm do I give in and be a punk or do I say naw and ruin chemistry, or dude being like YO WHY ARENT U PASSING ME THE BALL MORE? Stuff like that would really go a long way as well.



Now it's like pick your endorsements haha.



I mean, if they're gonna make it like an RPG, I think adding those sort of aspects are more interesting, but maybe they've done some research that that stuff doesn't interest people on average, to me... it does. Especially because it's like you get traded and you're like I get to go back vs the guy that bullied me as a rookie, oh yeah let's go.

Re: Which NBA 2k My Career was most enjoyable to you and why ?

Nba2k11 or NbaK12 i don't remember the year correctly. But it was rather realistic & native. After games there was a coach/manager who told you how you played or gave infos, also you had pre-draft interviews and meetings with teammates, vidoroom-analysis etc. it felt more immersive.

...I switched since NBA2K17/18 to MYGM mode and don't really play much MyCareer, because i don't like the direction they took with this mode....

Re: Which NBA 2k My Career was most enjoyable to you and why ?

The last gen MyCareers had some solid elements, but the mostly text based nature of them really didn't hold my interest long. I rather do my own little player lock word building in that case.

We are probably to the other extreme now, but I really enjoyed 2K16 as a complete package. The story, the gameplay was all really fun to play through.

Re: Which NBA 2k My Career was most enjoyable to you and why ?

The one with Freak! The story went from beginning to end. Every story since then just stopped out of nowhere and had no closure or explanation.

Also the Orange Juice one was kind of sus and just never went anywhere. Your girl comes over to your airplane hanger and wants to be friends. You break up and call your "boy" and tell him everything is all good now. I needed that to be explained... better yet I'm good.
