so much fun. career mode ate up about 6 hours of my evening yesterday.
create your own player, then you get drafted and play out the season in your assigned role. including getting benched when your playing badly (you can then simulate the game until you're back in). you have to enjoy basketball but that's true of any sports based game.
am the rookie point guard for the bulls which means i'm the sub for derrick rose (their best player) so until i step my game up I get the minutes he's resting or i get rotated to shooting guard if coach thinks i'm playing well and want's me playing off of d.rose. so my chances to influence the game are still quite fleeting and as such my career progression (including social media following) reflects that and based on my choices of phrasing in the post game press conferences my approval levels go up or down ultimately triggering changes in sponsorship or even being traded/paid more based on performance. when you have a shit game (still learning the controls and the best plays) you feel shit when you check your twitter between games and there some fan calling you a cunt for missing all your freethrows. in a way it is pretty much how the life of a nba player is these days.
it's amazing how far these games have come, asides from a couple of often repeated phrases about the teams past performances the commentary is actually spot on for the plays they're talking about to within crazy accurate precision. i gather if you have the xbone it can pick up if you swear while you're playing and it'll give you a technical foul (as the ref would in real life)
