NBA 2K16 MyCareer Player Creation Improvements

MyCareer in 2K is a game mode full of potential, there’s a reason why so many people have fell in love with it since its introduction in 2k10. However, over the years the mode hasn’t taken that LEAP forward like a lot of us expected. A huge reason why is that the player creation process is too generic and does not have enough checks + balances. Too often we will see everyone create the same type of overpowering player; this really kills the mode for a lot of gamers.

Today Sam Pham is here to offer some help, in the video below you will be able to see a new age Character Creation Take on how we can better create MyCareer Players in 2k16.

Now let’s take a look at what our proposed version of 2K16 MyCareer Player Creation:

 

At the beginning you will select a Player Position and Draft Position:

– Imagine Player Position as a “class” and Draft Position as a “race”.

– Each Class/Race will come with its own specific “perks”

– Perks are either badges, free attribute points, and/or specific attribute boost.

+ Your Story Arc is dependent on your Draft Position (credit on this one goes to LakerFan24).

+ Possible Draft Positions: #1 Pick, Lottery Pick, 1st Round Pick, 2nd Round Pick, Undrafted

Player Positions: PG, SG, SF, PF, C

Character Creation Step 1:

​* Key Notes:

– Yes Height and OVR are locked at the beginning, but don’t worry everything can be changed later.

Specialization and Talent Trees:

– Badges, attribute points, and attribute boosts can be gained by selecting specific perks from the trees.

– Every level gained will let you select one perk. There’s a level cap so select perks carefully.

Specialization Trees Sample:

Talent Trees Sample:

*Key Notes:

– That’s right, you wanna be a 6ft11 SF ? That’s fine, but enjoy you -25 speed perk.

– Wanna be a real 6ft7 man like Draymond Green ? Sam Pham Rewards you with Extra attribute points to SPEND ^_^

Conclusion:

– Overall every player will have 2 Specializations and 6 Talent Trees filled with Perks. All these together will add up what kind of player you have after reaching the level cap. There are also 5 Talent Tress that every player shares and they come with similar perks depending on positions. The 5 shared trees are Offense, Defense, Body + Athleticism, Work Ethic, and Born Talent.- Levels are increased by gaining VC.

Example: Lvl 1 2000 VC,

Lvl 2 3500 VC.- First Re-Spec is FREE, every other one will cost VC, you can also get free Re-Specs by winning end of season awards and the NBA Championship in MyCareer*I will add to this as time goes by, I will definitely refined the

trees and finish making up the other ones. Any new ideas or tree builds are welcomed. I will

also make a video on this soon. Feel free to discuss or help me in this project thanks!
