When my teammates played like NBA 2K22 MT steaming garbage in an 80-point defeat to Brooklyn - and MyCareer has been known to contrive terrible games to create narratives and that's what happened. I played my way into The Sacramento Kings. They were the place I believed my player would be a better fit all along, but because I had such a good performance in the pre-draft section on MyCareer (which has the lowest difficulty) I was chosen as No. 1. by Detroit.

Single-player career styles in other sports titles provide ways to stand independently or entirely according to your own interests. They're just a lot blander with regard to it. More importantly the very few narrative arcs simply don't present an incentive to make radical decisions. Madden NFL's "Face of the Franchise" background is much less revealing than last year's holes-filled, cheesy setup. The player character never develops a personality, as the dialogue choices either/or lead to the same positive effect for the player or team.

MLB The Show 21's Road to the Show has discarded the perk tree it's two predecessors had, and with it the game was stripped of its dialog interaction. Before, answering questions based on a character kind ("Maverick," for example, or "Heart & Soul") would progress the player to gain certain benefits and unlocks, thereby improving and developing the character. Even then the idea of a beef with rival teams was very anodyne, if not good-natured.

In the past, the career suite of nba myteam mt Codemasters' F1 series experimented with giving the driver a personality, giving participants the option to answer questions in the press by presenting themselves as a "Showman" or a "Sportsman." Teams in racing were supposed to have one of the two options which you had to comply with that in order to either receive a new contract or maintain the current one.
