First time posting but I had a thought, how would people feel about My Career being integrated online (more than it is currently) so you and a number of friends could play together. I mean you all get drafted and go through an entire season as individual players but in the same league so you would play against each other. Maybe even force a trade and make a big 3 with 2 other human players
this actually sounds cool, however.. (and this is slightly un-related, but to the same point)
2k will never allow users to form leagues or have any control whatsoever over the "matchup" aspect because it relinquishes too much control (which equals $)
for example, the aforementioned premier 2k league, MPBA, has literally been doing what the 2k league is doing for 4 years now.
They have prize pools and a buy in. they pay out to the champions, the league MVP and rookie of the year.
participation (and dominance) this league is directly what got people drafted. period.
NBA and 2k LITERALLY came up with the great idea to monopolize this phenomena.
they literally just made an official MPBA
which is a double-edged sword for MPBA
cause that's the point, but at the same time, they literally took their talent and structure and "gentrified" it
now, all that said
to play games in the MPBA league, you have to literally be elite 4 (that's like 100 wins- less than 20 losses)
and then you have to party up with the other team and all press "search" at the same time and PRAY YOU MATCH UP AGAINST EACH OTHER....if not? simply dashboard and try again...and again....and again....and again.
2k could have added matchmaking ....or even online pro am leagues....
they don't want to because it would give way too much control to already-established leagues.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 2k league issues C&Ds out for all these "un-official" leagues once their season actually pops off
especially any league that collects and pays out money.
2k is literally the only "esport" that doesn't allow private matchmaking.
so, back to the original point, yeah, that'd be kinda cool.....but at the same time, you CAN play with your friends....just not against lebron. (unless it's like 2 on 2 via mycourt or something) and i don't see this ever changing.
