MyCareer VC Gouging, Player is Terrible to Start

[Uncle Magic]

Look, I've been playing 2k basketball since it began. This year's game is the biggest slap in the face to everyone who plays it. A full storyline about how I'm basically Lebron from Harlem except I'm 55 overall. Hours and hours of play into it, every VC earned other than one or two bars into shooting, and I still miss open shots regularly.

It's just not fun. Unless I play on All-Star or below, which makes the game really not fun. Superstar difficulty for MyCareer is really ridiculously difficult because of how bad they make your player. It's all so I buy VC atop the 60 dollar purchase I already spent, right? No, you can't have fun unless you pay us. ♥♥♥♥ing terrible. I can't make open shots from 15 feet. I've missed two shots with perfect shot meters already. I make those shots in real life. I made those shots in high school and college in this very game. Why make us so awful? It doesn't work that way at all in real life, you aren't better in HS than in the pros. Why am I an awful free throw shooter after missing not a single one in HS? It's really, really terrible.

It's disgusting. I'm not gonna support this game series anymore. I keep getting more and more annoyed every year with something they do, last year it was the awful gameplay, this year it's the terrible MyCareer mode. Just an abomination. Of course the reviewers are afraid to criticize this mockery of a story because it's so racially charged. Overall just a disappointment.

Just play the game and get some badges. You cant dominate the way that you use to the past. get your player to a 70 and you'll start to see some changes.

People are complaining for no reason.

its just cause u suck at playing xD just do the little things your obviously not gonna dominate. I agree the mycareer sucks so far but only cause its too much like a movie than MY career. and to touch on that subject of dominating, yes u do dominate in hs if you are already projected to be in the nba THATS WHY THEY THINK YOU'RE GOING TO THE NBA. duh..

not really. it's ridiculous to start us so low, I think it's the lowest they ever have, and it takes longer than ever to get VC. my character moves like he's walking in sludge. and your first season is 8 games long, so yeah no chance of winning rookie of the year or anything really. and we made it to the playoffs and we played a single playoff game, not sure why.

What? I find it easy, I am already at 69 and wasn't very hard to get vc at all.Peopel always complain about this type fo thing but I never spend money on vc and I find it fine on my player

Here's the long and short of it -- OP here wants things to be easy. That said, he does raise a good point. How are the characters talked about as the next big thing, but all 55 overally?
They should be at least 75 overally by the time you end college.

Far as how it isn't fun. Dude, play other modes and get the VC that way to build your guy if you don't want to pay. There are many ways.
Fact is, you want to be a superstar NOW when the game's been out 3 days.

I personally bought VC because I can, and I don't mind supporting 2K. Did they miss with their optimization of this game? yes. Did they miss with Spike Lee? YES! but at least they're trying new things.
and I'd rather give them money than give EA.

Right, so you admit I make good points, yet all I want is for things to be easy. Makes sense, clearly. If that's true, why wouldn't I just lower the difficulty to all star or pro and just blast through it? I don't want to be a superstar now after 3 days, I want it to be somewhat realistic where my player doesn't move like I would in an NBA game.

Like, for example, make open shots when the meter is hit perfectly. I've missed 3 shots already with perfect meters and even getting the "good shot" indicator on the teammate grade. Or missing layups that are basically wide open. It's silly. I'm fine with not being Kobe, just let a pro player make an open shot when the shot meter is perfect and there's little to no defense.

You should make your points in the game, bro, less in arguments ;-)

If you play on the highest AI level you WILL miss shots you may have successfully hit on lower level. You wanna be a NBA Star and a Pro? You wanna make it to a legend player on a high AI level? You gotta work for it make! You gotta play several (ingame) years and stay patient.

Even Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic, Lebron or Kobe have missed open or (easy) shots in the early careers, sveral times. Every game. It just happens.
Be persistent and game on, thats the challenge on the highest AI level. Has been, is now and will ever be in 2K Games.
Never surrender, mate :)
