This phenomenon describes a situation within the NBA 2K video game series, specifically in the MyCareer mode, where a player’s created character, or all created characters, unexpectedly revert to a very low overall rating, typically around 60. This reset effectively undoes any progress made in upgrading the character’s attributes and abilities. For instance, a player might have spent considerable time and virtual currency improving their character to an overall rating of 90, only to find that the character’s rating has been drastically reduced to 60 without any intended action by the user.
The occurrence of this reset can be detrimental to the player experience, as it negates the time and effort invested in character development. It requires players to rebuild their characters from a basic level, repeating the grind for virtual currency and attribute upgrades. Historically, such issues have been linked to game updates, server-side problems, or corrupted save data within the game. The implications extend to reduced player engagement and potential frustration, particularly for dedicated players who have significantly progressed in their MyCareer.
