Perhaps I want to create a 30-year-old rookie whose career span is obviously not going to be quite as long as a one-and-done college prospect, I can do that. Whether it's creating a player from scratch or using an existing player, ala the old Create-A-Legend mode, gamers should be able to experience M圜areer without the cut scenes.Īllowing fans to use created players and even custom rosters in a M圜areer mode is an intriguing concept.

What about the folks who are cool with little to no cut scenes, but they still enjoy playing through a career as one player?Ī separate style of M圜areer should be available for them.

The Gameplay With All The Options And Variables That's what EA did with The Journey, and it works like a charm. Have one of the very talented writers and directors 2K has contracted in the past write a script for NBA 2K18, then cast the actors and actresses for the roles and have fans play through the campaign the same as they would in a non-sports RPG. 2K has been trying to deliver their stories through the eyes of a man with a million faces. Wonder why Alex Hunter's emotions and such put Frequency Vibration and Pres' to shame, it's because Hunter has only one face. The voice acting for a created player will never look as smooth as it does for a real human actor who performed their lines in a full motion capture suit, while being shot with a complete camera rig. While everyone loves to put themselves in the game, in this instance, it limits what the developer can do with the story. The biggest reason EA was able to produce such a slick story is primarily because it doesn't allow you to scan your face or create yourself for the Journey. The voice acting is on point and the visuals are breathtaking.

FIFA 17's The Journey has replaced any version of NBA 2K's M圜areer as the best single-player story mode in a sports video game.
