Let's talk MyCAREER, and the Road to 99. For those who play the mode and its connected experiences, where are you at? What rating are you up to? Any highlights/big performances you care to share?
After really getting into MyCAREER last year and playing well ahead of the NBA schedule - I believe I was into my second season around March or April - I've slowed down after a quick start this year. For reasons I've mentioned in other topics, I haven't been quite as into MyCAREER this year, but another factor is that progress towards Badges and the like can also be made in The Playground and 2K Pro-Am. I do like that approach, as it means I can still improve my player (and sometimes even earn a decent amount of VC in a session) without having to play through the NBA season.
As such, I'm not that far ahead of the real 2018 season; I'm at December 20th, as of this post. Currently 89 Overall with 17 Badges, nine of them maxed out. Unfortunately, there are no Hall of Fame level Badges for the Sharpshooting Playmaker hybrid Archetype. I'm still slogging through, and even through the rough sessions, I like getting online with the guys to play some Pro-Am, so I'm hoping to at least make it to 90 Overall. Not sure if I can complete the Road to 99, though I'd like to have some of the perks you get in the 90s, so I'm intending to give it a shot. Right now I've maxed out all available ratings, so it's all about grinding for the next Cap Breaker, and stockpiling VC.
