I know this is petty, but why do I have to grind to wear a hat?

MyCAREER

Like this game gets more and more extra each year. I’m a scrub, I don’t want to play MyPark or anything online, I just want to play MyCareer and look fresh in the comfort of my own home. But each year more gets locked behind some wall, and this year half the decent cosmetics require grinding online. Why? Come on guys, I gave you the money, you won, I’ll give you more, why do I have to earn the right to wear a hat or sunglasses? Just separate MyCareer and MyPark if this is what it’s coming to.

Most people play park, therefore they make you play to look cool, makes sense

Doesn’t really make sense tbh if most people play it great but if there’s a million people playing and 1% of those don’t play park and only play career that’s still 10,000 people. There should be an option for those who don’t want to play online. Hats and neck tats both need online which is whack imo

At least when shit was locked to overall you could grind whichever mode you liked because both mycareer and park players want high overalls. I have never played a single game of park in 5 years of playing 2k because I don’t want to play against cheese and I don’t want to rely on teammates I know are going to ball hog, and on top of that it takes forever waiting between games because they don’t just have an actual matchmaking system. Why would I want to spend more time standing in a glowing dot than I’m actually getting to play basketball if I don’t have all day to be playing 2k?

Can you read? I don’t play park. I only play mycareer and so I have no way to acquire a huge chunk of the cosmetics to keep my player from looking like a bum in cutscenes, and there are NBA pre game rituals and tattoos, things that do directly interact with mycareer, that are also locked behind rep.
