Sounds exactly like my experience haha. As odd as it sounds I feel like they should have diversified their cast options a bit based on the player that's created. I felt like I was adopted and that's not even getting into the fact that I had a black twin sister haha. Vic was definitely very annoying. If it actually had given options instead of forcing me into choices I would have dropped his ass immediately. I think the mechanics of the game are actually pretty good but 2k needs to figure out how to make players engaged outside of each individual game. I think they tried to do that but went WAY too heavy handed with it. Even with stupid shit, like why would I use my virtual currency to buy a tattoo when I could get actual attributes? That kind of customizing should just be build in.

Only time I went first overall was with Sharpe and everyone knows how that turned out. Less pressure going further down the board. My usual spot is around 5th I think.

Yeah, I found they didn't adjust the commentary in game and stuff to really flow with how well you actually performed which was kinda annoying. It makes it out like I get a double double every game which is a bit of a stretch. The "cutscenes" also don't really change at all depending what you do. For example, I resigned with the Celtics my 2nd year (since they had the best offer) but the press conference for the decision still worded it as "I'll be taking my talents to the Boston Celtics" or something along those lines that didn't even make it sound like I had always been on that team. It's also annoying that my player looks like some kind of fucked up troll because the actual creation options were pretty terrible; especially compared to say MLB: The Show which would have been the last game I created a player in. Overall it's not a terrible game or mode but I'm glad they gave it to me for free. As a fan of MyCareer modes I found it a little iffy at times. I still think one of the best career modes I've ever played was the first one, it was Madden '08 I think. Nothing overly flashy about it but you could still customize your player and ask for trades and stuff without it feeling like everything was scripted to happen a certain way.

It's relatively normal once you get past the stupid first year Spike Lee garbage.

If I remember correctly 3 of the teams I won with are still yet to be ranked; 2 for sure. I could just check my trophies on the forum but that would be cheating. Edit: Did end up checking, 2 of my cup wins are yet to be ranked, ironically my first and last ones. The one I wasn't sure on was the S17 Bears which was done already.

Need questions for this week boys, hit me up with anything you want and I'll answer it.

Glad you enjoyed it. The last episode is actually in Battlefront instead of CoD because of a huge update but same kind of idea. I find I do rate a decent amount with CoD but not really much more than what was in his video unless something drastic is happening. Overall it's mostly a venting outlet for me. If I've had a shitty day it feels nice to shoot some virtual people. Problem with that is if I play shitty it just puts me in a worse mood haha.

As with the last episode it is still processing as of the time of posting. I estimate it’ll be ready in about an hour. Got my microphone sounding better but decided against the facecam. Let me know if you guys would like to see it in the future or if you like this. Answered questions from @boom, @DollarAndADream, @ADwyer87, @Phil, @Knight, and @Shaka. Overall had a good time, enjoy.

Let me know how you like it. I've never played Assassin's Creed or the Batman games but apparently the combat style feels like a cross between the two. Whatever it was I know I liked it. Got it for Christmas a couple of years ago when the PSN servers were hit and down so I got Platinum in like 2 weeks. Absolutely amazing game.

Last call for questions, recording this tonight!

Who said anything about appropriate? Personal questions, VHL questions, I don't care. Just ask and I'll answer.

Well now, this is embarrassing. Not quite sure you're my type there boom

Not sure how it plays on PC but it's 75% off on steam right now so might be worth a pick up. http://store.steampowered.com/app/241930/

Anyone else? Will be recording this tomorrow. I feel like @Shaka might have some fun questions.

Just for fun as well, here's my secondary VHL location aka my suite at work.

If I can keep up with putting these together maybe I'll get around to having people in to chat with me. Would probably be pretty easy to set up a Discord chat for people to join.

Come on guys, need some stuff to talk about. Hoping to record this Wednesday night. @McNeil you and I had this idea years ago so I want some questions from you! Also, @Phil @DollarAndADream @Ahma @Molholt @boom @ADwyer87

Man that photo from mine is out of date, wasn't even at my apartment in NB yet and left that months ago. Here's an updated one: Added 2 more hard drives (5 total now) and upgrades my keyboard to a full size one. Also added an Elgato and Astro A40's. Most importantly though I got a big enough desk haha

McNeil: Ales Blasek - 1 TPE

Oh I'm plenty terrible haha. The stream is archived if you want to check it out. CoD 4 was the first chunk but CS:GO was after that.

Going to go live sometime within the next hour I believe with my first ever CS:GO experience if you want to laugh at how terrible I am. I believe @Phil would enjoy it. Actually going to do CoD 4 on PC first but CS: GO will be later. Going live soon.

I sent him the link this morning, he seemed impressed that we’re coming up on 50 seasons. *fingers crossed*

In the short team, a pretty big hit to their economy I would imagine as people are hesitant without quite knowing how the new trade rules will work out. If you believe the propaganda it will save them 350 million pounds a week in fees but that number is actually far lower and they'll likely end up spending it to get the benefits they had before anyway. Also according to the propaganda they'll be able to govern their own immigration and borders but it's been said before that that might also not be the case and immigration might stay exactly the same. John Oliver actually went over a good amount of the issues with it before the vote, not that people listened apparently. Worth a watch if you are interested:

Everyone move to Canada. Saves you from Trump and from the incoming economic crash of Britain. What's funny is one of my British CoD friends seems to think it won't affect him at all. Says that because he doesn't deal with anything internationally a declining British Pound means nothing. I'm biting my tongue and not wanting to tell him that the companies he buys things from sure as hell deal internationally and their rates are about to go up since their money became 12% less useful overnight. It's why Canadians are paying $20 more for games, $5-$10 per month more for cell / ISP and a pile more for groceries than we were 2 years ago... On second thought to my original point, maybe coming to Canada isn't for everyone.

I'm just glad I don't have stock in the British Pound. Took the Canadian dollar a year to fall as much as the pound did overnight.
