The big question is will it be like a superstar mode, Or an actual career mode for that matter? Will we be able to get things like endorsement deals, do certain objectives/actions off the court, and control our player and him only when playing a game?

I don't want to hear "It's so the fans can preview the game early!", because every year we get a demo and the demo serves that purpose fine. Negative points 2K. Nickle and "dimeing" your fans seems very EA'ish.

It is on the disk. The only difference is that your player with have a special patch on his jersey if he goes through the 'demo' mode.

So yes, it is for the hardcore fans to preview the game early. Or at least the new big feature.

Or just a mini-game to spend time until the release of 2k10 itself.

I dont think this is nickle and dime'ing people at all. What i think this is is, to give people a chance to mess with 2K series before EA's. Say you get it for 5 bucks and you make your guy, you know what? If you like it you are already invested in 2K series.

Its a pretty cool thing to do imo. All for cheaper then a number 4 at my fav fast food joint Carls Jr.

My ? is, how does the My Player mode begin in the retail game? You can't create him and go straight into the draft, bc your rating would be too low. At the same time, how many people would just hold off if they knew for sure the combine is on the game disc if you wait a 2-4 weeks?

You can't sell DLC of stuff in a full version of a game.

Unless this has changed, I don't think there will be all of these mini-games and training and such within the full version. My guess is you go straight to creating your guy, giving him a certain amount of points and go from there.

I'm sure things like the 2k Insider, playing in pick-up games to build up your guy are exclusive to the DLC.

This is just my speculation, however. Please don't quote me and use it as reasoning why "2k is turning their back on their fans" or something similar.

Agreed, I think by purchasing the combine you will be getting "bonus points" to add to your player. What I want to do is since I plan on getting the DLC, I want to create a player with and without using the combine to see the amount of influence that the DLC has on My Career mode.

That's exactly how I see it. I mean, the content is going to be ready for launch in September. So it's not like it's a matter of "it won't be finished in time for the disk". I'll eat my words if this Combine Game ends up being playable on the disk, but it just doesn't sound like that's going to happen.
