NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: My Career w/ Video

[infam0us]

Is there an incentive for playing in Sim and a high difficulty, one of the things that I love about MyPlayer is that you can use them in Crew Games but if the majority of users are playing on casual or default on pro or all-star to rank up faster, why make the game harder.

I'll probably still play on Sim and Superstar, but I'm curious on how the skill points will be awarded in 2k11.

lol. This is why I stopped playing crew but the rating caps will really help.

Great point, however there are rating caps, so people may be able to get their ratings up quickly playing on easier levels however they will get capped, plus playing on a easier level just mean they will be less skilled in crew and pickup games.

Interesting point there, bro. I'm also curious about this one. Higher difficulty and gamestyle should produce higher skill points.

They really haven't left no stone unturned, and we've yet to hear about the online, NBA Today, and Association mode which they've said have made huge strides in their own rights? They really are trying to take away every reason not to own this game.

I like this post. It just makes you.... think, I guess. Wonder what 2K will bring with the remaining stuff they have left to announce?

There will always be people w/ no lives who will play as long as it takes on Rookie/Arcade in order to max out their skills.

The small details make the biggest difference and I'm glad they fixed up the ratings problem. I'll probably really give this mode a go because I felt it was too easy last year especially playing vs crappy AI, plus the online not working made me not try this mode after the first few weeks.

I'm hoping the online insight is next week.
