i think part of that comes from the attachment of mycareer to park, a lot of people just want to use mycareer for badge grinding and dont wanna deal with kyle kuzma missing and costing them an assist.
Yeah, like what is the sense of a career if you can just select the most overpowered team and win all the first season? They got rid of the "before draft" part,while on nba 2k 16 i believe, you had to play highschool and college game, and getting drafted according to your performances in those games.... 2k is slowly becoming the basketball version of EA
@@damn_jaz9895 EA actually had great ideas in terms of going to the streets and playing but I felt as tho they could have expanded and used the new engine but I know if EA comes out they gonna bring some heat cause EA had some great graphics especially the courts
2K10 to 2K13 were peak basketball gaming. They introduced the "RPG elements" of modern sport sims while still teaching/allowing you to utilize real basketball concepts and strategies. No VC, no ads, no bloat. Just ball and a great soundtrack.
Right on the head. It burns me how much things usually get bogged down by corporate greed. Espn nfl 2k3-2k5 and ncaa March madness 07-10 are other examples. Take me back man.
I think the downfall is also due to the community. Back then, we just had fun playing whatever we want, however we want. Nowadays, people take games way too seriously and always trying to play the meta.
EA is also guilty of this. Since NHL 21, you can no longer be sent down to the AHL. The draft is laughable at best, with the same 3 damn teams able to draft you and no matter how bad you play or if you sim to the draft, you’ll more than likely go #1 overall. What if I wanted to be an AHL journeyman who has to fight and scrap his way into the major leagues?
The fundamental misunderstanding of the studios is that the best stories in sports games are the ones you made yourself and not in the cheesy cutscenes
This era of gaming is peak. 2k10, Red Dead 1, Mw2 and Fallout 3 were staples of this period. The mycareer with Tom from the boondocks headahh as your tutorial mentor was the best man.
Park and MyCareer should be separated, or there should be an offline only MyCareer with no limits and as much or as little of a grind as the player wants. The game starts at $70, that should get us more than starting as a 60 in the flagship mode!
The arc of the grind is what made 2k10 era MyCareer fun - not having the crutch of VC to artificially boost your stats meant that they had to actually design the XP system to provide a sense of progression and fun. I remember doing builds around this time that would be totally nonviable online - stuff like a Tayshaun Prince build where all I did was try to get triple doubles without points, or the John Stockton PG with no dribble moves.
Don't forget that today's 2K carreer only last like 2 years and after that they shut down the server, and your save game goes to the trash. That's why I only playing like creating a player, put him in a roster and playing franchise mode. You can set it up that you play only with that player. -> Free MyCarreer, like in 2009
Ngl I feel like nba live 19 is a great modern example of this. Start as a 70, decent but not crazy, and grind your way to an elite player. I enjoy how they’ve handled career mode in their last few entries.
I have said for so long that 2k10 is my favorite 2k. There was also no cap to your player. You could become a TRUE 99 overall. A 7'4" demigod with handles, a 3, blocking every shot, and could hang in the post.
I swear shooting attributes in this era of 2k were broken. The sweet spot was 82-85 and when you got around 90 I swear the percentages always went down. Even in play now you could spam with a guy like Gerald green and never miss and only go 4/10 as Steph
Maaan this was my first next-gen 2k at the time. I remember being, like 12-13 ish, and being absolutely blown away by the myplayer mode. Couldn’t fathom how advanced the future could be at the time. To say it’s been a disappointment now that we’re here is an understatement lol. But at least we’ve got the old gems from a time when they cared!
did you ever play the 24/7 mode from 2k5 with ben wallace on the cover?? i feel like that created the framework for future my career modes, much like how ncaa06 road to glory (? i think that’s what it was called, [sidebar big OOF to the feature where if you played better your virtual gf got hotter >.
The algorithm is a scary thing. I just bought 2k10 again for 3 bucks on ebay lol. I'm having so much fun with my center. This was the first "modern" 2k I ever played
Y’all remember in My Career you could do the Legends camps? Like if you did Larry Birds camp it boosted your 3pt and midrange by like 5, if you did Magics it boosted you passing and IQ. You paid 500 skill points did the drills and gave you like a permanent +3-5 in like 3 different attributes
I played the shit out of this game. My MyCareer player was named Carlos Cannon and averaged a quadruple double with steals. There was a glitch if you guarded the PG on the inbounds pass they would throw it to the other player who passed it back to the PG every time so it was really easy to steal.
I Remember Thinking About The *Draft* All Day At Work, I Was *Geeked* Getting Selected *Randomly* By The *Thunder* That *Grind* Will *Never Be The Same* 💯
One thing that screwed me over with this era of mycareer; if you upgrade attributes it will take forever to get a high overall but if you upgrade the awareness attributes it will shoot up.
I don't know about the last few years, but 2K in the previous gen leaned heavy into narrative storytelling for MyCareer, which was bad IMO since it basically generalized the entire experience for everybody. The best part about old 2K mycareer was that it was a custom player and RPG style progression, so you basically filled in the narrative details yourself. I always liked to see what the CPU did with the other teams in the league and some of the other CPU-generated star players.
I really appreciate you for this video. This was my favorite. Crew was competitive, cheesy, legit, and illegitimate all at the same time. No one remembers the 7ft Pgs been around. Cheesy drifters. You name it.
What I noticed about the builds was is if you choose all around you have the best chance of being able to do most things even dunk but if you choose athtltic you where buns but also if you chose scoring you where not athletic at all the highest I ever got in 2k11 was 85 ovr
You know what I miss? I miss being able to watch my team play without having to actually play the game. It gave that GM "look at what I built" type of feeling. I stopped playing 2k for a while and the last one I picked up (don't remember) was so disappointing. I miss being able to do that across all the sports games
I never thought I would say it but I miss the old 2K10-2K12 grind. MyPlayer just seemed so much more fun and innocent then..At least until people figured out how to use mods on the game and brought these big 8 foot 5 PGs out to crew. 2K did nothing to patch it for all 2K10 and 2K11 and just took out MyPlayer online altogether on 2K12. Then when they brought it back on 2K13 you had to be on the servers to use certain features and instead of modding, you could just buy your way to 99 everything. 2K13 was really the beginning of the end when you think about it.
We need that ESPN NFL 2K5 deep dive asap!!! First person pov football is STILL ahead of its time, your house with all your achievements and favorite team memorabilia, etc. the game just did too much to not be talked about
The only thing was the glitch at the end of the season. You could be playing for the lakers and in the offseason the game will give you 4 options Sign with magic Sign with nuggets Sign with Celtics STAY with Cavs???! I got it and ik Chris Smoove got the glitch too. Also if you went to the D league you couldn’t leave the D league lol you would get 2 10 day contracts but back to the s league my cousin 3 peat in the d league before he restarted 💀💀😂
16:42 BRO! that C.Butler/T.Evans jumpshot was MONEY in this 2K! Loved using that animation! Took 14 years, but glad to know someone appreciated it too 😆
I really likedthese early mycareer modes that didnt have a lot of story but a lot of room to develop and create your player in any direction. You werent just treated like the next big star.
I love this game but everyone has accidentally hit a pull-up jumper from 1 foot and missed because the game didn't use the layup animation for some reason
You ever done anything on College Hoops 2k8? That recruiting system was next level in terms of depth. The basketball video game world has a huge hole in it since that franchise ceased to be made.
2k10 was sooo difficult but amazing when u learned it. This was my first ever 2k. Was a Live kid. I remember the first guy I ever made i literally couldn’t make it to the league I was in the G league the whole time. Had to make another guy. Great times! S/o ROOTS by Flo Rida. Used to love tht song on here.
I’d love a deep dive into The Bigs (1&2), that game was so much fun on the Wii and the home run derby was legit one of the most fun sports game experiences outside of Mario Sluggers. I’d love to know what the max score possible on that mode was
Just make two different ratings. One that uses SP and only levels up the MyCareer attributes, and one that uses VC and levels up the online attributes. Sucks that offline players have to be roped into their shitty P2W system.
Well, in 6:40 you got lucky that someone did catch the pass, because it got either blocked, or it was just so far off, that the not intended guy catched it
Yo Kofie, my best memories of nba2k came from 2k12. The career mode in that game made me actually love basketball, idk how to describe how it happened other than it was so fun it had me watched every game I could for a couple years. Got suspended from school for a week & ended up maxing out my player, Mo Green. Went on to play for the Kings my entire career and win them 2 championships with Isaiah Thomas and Cousins. It was a wild time and definitely my favorite 2k game to date. Most the new ones aren't any fun and kinda cringe lol If you ever get a chance, I'd love a nba2k12 mycareer review!!
As someone who does not enjoy the online aspects of mycareer and only plays the NBA games without buying VC, I feel like the game still has a lot of the traits you talked about with progression, having to learn some go-to moves and grind your OVR up slowly. I really enjoy adjusting the coach settings to auto call plays and show them on the floor so I can play within the system and fulfill a certain role. I also feel like it forces you to play the game proper to score consistently, although that might just be because I am TERRIBLE at hitting greens on my shots lmaoooooo
Aye I agree wit you but at the same time the fact that you can’t change quarter length and the lag in certain arenas when you make it to the league killed me. I just played it recently
The fact that they just let you pick whatever team you want from the jump is what has mainly killed my career in modern games. Half the fun of MyCareer is grinding and seeing what team ended up taking you!
Kofie, do you remember the 2k myplayer-ish combine demo with Derrick rose on the cover? Downloadable only I think. I brought my Xbox to a friend’s house to download it. Took 3 hours
An offline mycareer where we actually have the the stats of a real 99 overall instead of some inflated rating dictated by some weird modifiers would be nice. A proper mode, not do it yourself in my league. But that doesn’t print money
Something underrated about NBA 2k10 in particular, the player ratings were WAY more dynamic. What I mean is that the lower and upper reaches of the ratings chart were more meaningful - your created player in this video is a 42 Kofie, and he's airballing layups but more importantly some of his shots still go in. Meanwhile, across all of 2k10, there are only 4 players above a 90 (Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Chris Paul). This makes for a lot more possible variation between the greats and the mediocre, but makes mediocre players still workable. In current gen 2k, unless your player and specific attributes within a lot of categories are above 75, literally do not even bother. You'll brick everything and get the ball stolen from you constantly. It flattens out the differences between players and makes the game more boring.
Solid video ! ay I been saying it once GTA 6 drop all that RPG City focus for 2k going out the window as they won’t be able to compete with Rockstar Games at all so it will hopefully all prosperity towards MyCareer comeback. We miss that realism !
2K11 was my favorite. Also, you were shooting too soon after your dribbling with your mid range gaurd, so your shoot off the dribble stat was taken into account, making you miss.
I forget which 2k it was, but you could essentially put Michael Jordan as a roomie on a modern team, and do a MyCareer with him instead of the 54 overall they give you for a starting player in MC.
I'm not going to lie, I got stuck in the D league but still enjoyed it back then. I was really trying to make it to the NBA only to find out I was likely stuck do to a glitch
I think something slept on also what would make the game more fun. On my career if you put players from the past on regular teams it would let you play against them in your career which was super fun but man when you got to the play offs you really had to earn the chip
My first NBA2K is 18 ,but not the next gen one ,is the PS3 edition ,the mycareer mode is almost the same as 2K12's ,and that was why I love the NBA2K ,and I play it for years due to the lag of money ,but when I finally got my PS4 and my second 2k 2k22 ,the career mode just don't feels right, I love the 2K that you don't have to compete with other online player, just play in your own nba universe. I hope that 2K make two type of mycareer mode
I was used to play a tiny point guard like 183 cm and play a long time in denver , Wilson Chandler and Gary Harris was always being let wide open so I had a lot of free assist😂
I think this video encompasses gaming in general tbh... The era before mtx took over and gaming became mainstream.. playing games for the sake of.... Having fun!! omg

@@AkaHoodieVC started in 2k10 but you couldn’t buy it
Battle passes ruined gaming as a whole
Also, they got rid of Summer League on 2k12 because ppl complained about the grind.
They need to bring back offline MyCareer.

I literally just created a player, made him how I wanted , and put him on a roster and been playing like that since. Having fun so much lol

One thing that screwed me over with this era of mycareer; if you upgrade attributes it will take forever to get a high overall but if you upgrade the awareness attributes it will shoot up.
I miss these 2ks 2k10-14 hold a very very special place in my heart

Peak Chris Smoove era
What could be a cool idea is a Jordan Challenge video. That's what got me into 2k with 2k11 and then they did a new expanded version in 2k23.
What I noticed about the builds was is if you choose all around you have the best chance of being able to do most things even dunk but if you choose athtltic you where buns but also if you chose scoring you where not athletic at all the highest I ever got in 2k11 was 85 ovr

2k10-14 my career was beautiful even 15 for when it first came out
What about the Madden Camps on the Gamecube/ps2 Madden games
Rushing attack was goated and just isn’t the same in today’s game

Sign with magic
Sign with nuggets
Sign with Celtics
STAY with Cavs???!

Get that guy a MANUAL
I remember that too
Man the VIBES! Just load up and hoop. Earning that spot for starter when you finally cracked the line up, just awesome.
Hey kofie, great video! You should make a video on the differences between early nba live and 2k, and why most people used to prefer nba live
I didn’t have 2k10 but I know from 2k8-13 was just perfection
Shout out to NBA Live 2005 too though
16:42 BRO! that C.Butler/T.Evans jumpshot was MONEY in this 2K! Loved using that animation! Took 14 years, but glad to know someone appreciated it too 😆
I was a freshman in HS & this was the first game I pre-ordered with my own money. It really changed my life
have you made a video about madden 12? it was my first madden and i’d play it religiously i would love to see about the career mode
I really likedthese early mycareer modes that didnt have a lot of story but a lot of room to develop and create your player in any direction.
You werent just treated like the next big star.
2k10 is so underrated
The way old games worked was: If you want to succeed and have fun, GET GOOD. Now it’s if you want to succeed and have fun, open your wallet.
I love this game but everyone has accidentally hit a pull-up jumper from 1 foot and missed because the game didn't use the layup animation for some reason
I'm happy you made this because almost nobody believes me when I tell them my player in 2k10 started off 39 overall playing in the D League.
I loved this game. It was my first 2K game. I ended up in G-League, played a lot, called up to the Warriors & got a contract with them.
2k's mycareer used to be very challenging and that's why it was fun
This is what the career mode should be. Skill points and offline career mode without cringy cutscenes need to be brought back.
1:05 Yugoslavia still being an option is wild
You ever done anything on College Hoops 2k8? That recruiting system was next level in terms of depth. The basketball video game world has a huge hole in it since that franchise ceased to be made.
Man I remember picking up a bootleg copy of this in China. There was a bug that fixed quarters to 5 mins and it tanked my teammate grade so bad.
Would be intrigued for you to talk about NHL 2K, or MLB PowerPros.
2k10 was sooo difficult but amazing when u learned it. This was my first ever 2k. Was a Live kid.

Back when your myplayer had realistic attributes miss ps3 days
An offline mycareer where we actually have the the stats of a real 99 overall instead of some inflated rating dictated by some weird modifiers would be nice. A proper mode, not do it yourself in my league. But that doesn’t print money
Great vid bro 💪🏼
So many times in 2k10 my career, i was sent down to the D-League and spent the rest of my career there. 😂
Something underrated about NBA 2k10 in particular, the player ratings were WAY more dynamic. What I mean is that the lower and upper reaches of the ratings chart were more meaningful - your created player in this video is a 42 Kofie, and he's airballing layups but more importantly some of his shots still go in. Meanwhile, across all of 2k10, there are only 4 players above a 90 (Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Chris Paul). This makes for a lot more possible variation between the greats and the mediocre, but makes mediocre players still workable. In current gen 2k, unless your player and specific attributes within a lot of categories are above 75, literally do not even bother. You'll brick everything and get the ball stolen from you constantly. It flattens out the differences between players and makes the game more boring.
Solid video ! ay I been saying it once GTA 6 drop all that RPG City focus for 2k going out the window as they won’t be able to compete with Rockstar Games at all so it will hopefully all prosperity towards MyCareer comeback. We miss that realism !
2K11 was my favorite. Also, you were shooting too soon after your dribbling with your mid range gaurd, so your shoot off the dribble stat was taken into account, making you miss.
Love listening to you talk yapping videos are the best very relaxing
I forget which 2k it was, but you could essentially put Michael Jordan as a roomie on a modern team, and do a MyCareer with him instead of the 54 overall they give you for a starting player in MC.
I didn’t know 2k10 had a career mode I thought it started on 2k11. My first modern 2k was 2k12, played 8 full Years on that thing so worth it,
I'm not going to lie, I got stuck in the D league but still enjoyed it back then. I was really trying to make it to the NBA only to find out I was likely stuck do to a glitch
It only gave you 2 ten-day contracts and if you didn’t make it after that you were a G-Leaguer for life 💀
I think something slept on also what would make the game more fun. On my career if you put players from the past on regular teams it would let you play against them in your career which was super fun but man when you got to the play offs you really had to earn the chip
My first NBA2K is 18 ,but not the next gen one ,is the PS3 edition ,the mycareer mode is almost the same as 2K12's ,and that was why I love the NBA2K ,and I play it for years due to the lag of money ,but when I finally got my PS4 and my second 2k 2k22 ,the career mode just don't feels right, I love the 2K that you don't have to compete with other online player, just play in your own nba universe. I hope that 2K make two type of mycareer mode
I was used to play a tiny point guard like 183 cm and play a long time in denver , Wilson Chandler and Gary Harris was always being let wide open so I had a lot of free assist😂
It’s depressing because the game will probably never be this good again
I think this video encompasses gaming in general tbh... The era before mtx took over and gaming became mainstream.. playing games for the sake of.... Having fun!! omg
Pablo Sanchez was a kid in backyard sports game!!!!
i think 2k11 is the best one. I got drafted 2nd round to the kings and started because the team was super ass. Very challenging very fun
6'7, 350lbs pg is an insane build
Luka Doncic if he did the Shaq off-season routine 😂
NEED HELP PLEASE!!!! I’m playing it now on Xbox 360. Does anyone know how to change the quarter length in my career??!!!! Thank you 🙏🏾.
2k10 made me fall in love with 2k fr
NBA2k12 playing as a big man was elite
Is there anyway to play this past the first season now on ps3? It’s a shame it stops after the first season
i loved that summer league dlc with drose
MC hit the point of no return when it became monetized in the modern format we see now.
I’m liking the vid cuz the thumbnail. Pablo Sánchez is the GOAT.
2k10 had me hating the Maine Red Claws for keeping me in the g league for way too long.
Crazy to see all the accessories free right when you’re making your myplayer.. money hungry devs is what’s finished the 2k franchise sadly
