The game this year for my career is so bad that i'm not buying the next year. Your player seems it can't progress trough the games. If you try to infiltrate or cut to the basket, in the moment you try to advance to a open side of the defender, the defender forces a pick up on you everytime without question. The shooting this year is so bad too. Almost all shots you try to take don't fall. The badge system was to be good but it isn't. You've play so many frustating matches trying to get some points to your badges and you can't. Because the game is so cheap against you that you can't do anything. Anyway, this was my last year buying your games. I hope one day you guys can see and hear your players like you should

Career mode is horrible, considering that they require you to use Gold Coins in order to build up your character..

If you create the wrong character at the start you're going to have a really bad time..

With the Legend or Deluxe edition or whatever it's called, I got 100k gold coins.. Used to create my Center and he's absolutely garbage, considering the game is kind of cheap in terms of offensive rebounds, steals, and blocks..

So now he's there, as a almost non existent scoring threat, and to get back that 100k points I'd need to play 100 games..

Should have a different pool of points that are refreshed everytime you create a new character so that people who have spent nearly 90 bucks aren't cheated by making a player they don't like and being forced into playing a hundred or move games to make up the Coins to create a different character more to their liking..

Nobody plays mycareer to be a total non threat.. It's not fun having your player be totally and complete useless in terms of offense... Also seems like shooting is somehow even worse then last year.. Even with decently moderate points,, my player can't even hit the broad side of a barn.. Atleast it got a little better with putting some badge levels into the one for helping with bad shots..

NOt even sure why all my shots are bad when the meter is nearly to the top.. sure it's not green but with my players moderate stats he should atleast be able to sink a few basket when the meter is nearly full.. but no.. almost all of them bounce away..

I mean I get the microtransaction stuff.. 2k you do you, but in all honesty no reason exist to have it tied up into Career mode as well.. seems like a poor design choice created to just force gamers to either quit or spend cash..

Yeah so.. there's a game breaking glitch in My Player at the moment that takes place once you're in the NBA. When you try to 'sim to next appearance' the game continues to play gradually getting slower and it could take as long as 20 mins before it finally fixes itself. Yes I know about the whole 'Alt-Tab' fix but after paying $60 for a game that take 70+ gigs of space this is ridiculous.

[dperez]

Same thing with me, but not even the Alt Tab thing works with me, what can i do??

[jni0529]

no player name in mycareer mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mazi7]

For Career and My Player should I throw 40e for 2k20 or 8e for 2k19 ?

Gameplay wise, is there anything improved in 2k20 which would be worth ? I didn't follow NBA for couple years so transfers wouldn't really be something most important tbh..

After this World Cup, I have some desire to play basketball game and since there is nothing except NBA.. kinda forced here :(

[blazemegatron]

Every f'n year, this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game is an unfinished atrocity.
The gameplay in 2k19 eventually was just about spot on, they honestly would have been better off slapping less lipstick on the 2K19 pig, but instead the game is totally different. Dribbling different, shooting woefully different. Can anyone hit a shot? I get the skills gap, but if Agent 00 can't hit a jumper, well then you know the shooting is all f'd up.

Oof. This is the first time since 10 years I am doing mycareer/myplayer an the cutscenes are way too much, lol. I am 4 hours in and only played some 3on3's and some scrimages. 3 hours of cutscenes, 1 hour of gameplay. lol

Getting 1 second freezes when playing park and it makes that game mode unplayable, it runs better in the REC, but still issues there aswell, regular mycareer season games seem to run fine tough.

I wonder why they need to force you to play online against otherplayers just to improve your REP to get rewards as if people play the game solely for PvP. If I wanted to play PvP I'd play an MM0RPG like WoW and not a damn sporting sim.

Pray sister!
Besides, they really don't give a damn about players from countries where they don't have a game server.
It's impossible to play when your server is on another blessed continent! You don't get any shots, even worse if you play against the people on the server continent. It's ridiculous.

Of course it's a method of taking our money, but they did something I would never expect this year. With this new method of creating your player, and still being able to test it completely, it kind of ends with this "I regretted creating this" problem. Just test as much as you want first.

[HighLanderPony]

It sucks, just like the whole thing you dare call a game does.

[Espindola]

I, as an RPG enthusiast, expected some improvements in this regard.
The new method of creating the player is really good. But as for the history part ...
Much less dialogue options than in the previous game, much less interaction. I didn't want a movie where I played a game or another, I wanted interaction with the story! The first one that got me over this was the 2K17. The 2K19 has somewhat regressed, since after joining the NBA there was nothing left but a slight rivalry with the exchange of messages over the phone. And this year, it's even worse. All characters in the story do not even exchange a message with the player. They simply disappear.
By contrast, at least interactions with the press and merchandise have improved.
Keep up the improvements you have made and get back to the idea of ​​2K17 (and 19 in story mode)!

Another problem is career development. After the first year it's just repetition, but it gets worse, as contracts decrease because you have already reached the top.

Other things bother me, like all the teams having the same dancers, and that animation in their hair that makes them bald during the dance ........ It's horrible. Now they added the kids, which was pretty cool, but they have a problem just like the others, one or two songs/dances only.
Improve the attractions in timeouts in a decent way!
Even worse are the players transfers between teams and the creation of 20000000 players for the game itself. After the second year, I bet we'll have teams almost completely made up of players created by the game again.

If they worked on these details, it would make the game much more attractive to me. Since even today they don't bother to put a server on my continent, so I can play online against other players.

This year, reaching a high overall is faster than it used to be. So you don't need to spend money on VC. I'm already 85 overall after a week (ok I was on vacation so I had plenty of time to farm). Normaly it would take me around a 3 weeks to get there.

There is a downside, badges grind is still long anyway so it forces you to farm. VC does not give you any advantage for that so again there is no point of giving extra money to 2k.
