PCGamer - Story of the worst basketball player in 2K17's MyCareer mode

Hilarious read. Here's a couple quotes.
I’ve got to take good shots, make good passes, and demonstrate what some basketball writers call ‘basketball IQ,’ which translates to, ‘being good at basketball.’ I don’t know how to do any of that.
...
I’m the center and as the center I stood in the center.
...
The hardest thing for me is basic movement. I’m used to games where when you let go of the analog stick, your character stops.
...
Back in Loovulle, my game isn't getting much better, though I manage one B- performance by accidentally grabbing a few rebounds.

A fun read, though even in jest it definitely makes some good points about MyCAREER as well.

Also, terrifying:

Tightly scripted storylines in sports game career modes have always been a problem.


There need to be more options, Bomb in college?, Have fun playing for peanuts in Europe for a few years.

Still can't get good?, Well, I guess you never make it to the NBA, Good luck on the next character.

Yup, actions have to have consequences. I've been averaging 2 ppg, 3 assists, 4 turnovers per game and 25% FG shooting, 60% FT, and social media still touts me as the next big thing. Ridiculous. Every player I go up against owns me. I wouldn't belong at the local YMCA. Seriously, either let us start at 80 rating as a first round draft pick or let us fail and get signed by some Chinese team for peanuts.
