I telling you if that was the surprise they are holding back on....I really will break down and beg (even pay) my friend to take me to the release party.

Thats part of the big reason I'm too into My Player lol I don't feel like its actually me.

A super easy way to get 'A+' easily and quickly. You don't even have to shoot the ball. So my goal was to pass the ball around, accompolish the game objectives and not let the player I'm guarding score the ball. I was invited for training camp from all 30 teams. I'm not kidding. The reason I pass the ball so much is I'm a team player. Trying to do everything becomes boring. Also when you start every game, you shouldn't start automatically at 'C'. It should be an 'F'. The reason is you haven't done anything in the game yet. It also makes getting an 'A+' challenging/rewarding which should be the case(getting an 'A+' in real life in the NBA is a rare thing to do). After reading the insight, MyPlayer looks to be more of a challenge which I welcome with open arms.

Difficulty was changeable last year. I played the game on HOF with sliders. You needed to set those things up prior to starting the mode.

Even with those settings I found it too easy from the standpoint of immediately getting minutes over established players. I was a PG on Portland and I was getting 20+ mins per game over guys like Steve Blake, Rudy Fernandez and Jerryd Bayless no more than 10 games into the season. My rating at that time was like in the 50's. MyPlayer will be more fun to me and rewarding when I feel like I actually earned and worked for the minutes. I know most guys who played it last year complained about being stuck in the D-league and want to be rookie superstars in the NBA, and I hope that hasn't caused the 2K team to compromise the mode as far as difficulty and realism.

Do you play any games outside of sports? I would hate it if I couldn't play Mass Effect because my face wasn't in it.

Thats a good question....No I really don't...besides Rock Band (can't wait for Rockband 3!!)...I don't like playing CPU very boring after a while...First person shooters die out after a month for me.

Check my post count...I spend most of my time on Operation Sports.

this is the best info right here, better than anything in the insight!

Simballer, can we edit the Difficulty once our career is already underway? say I'm on allstar-sim, but in my second year its getting too easy and I want to bump the difficulty up, I can change it at any time right?

thanks for this addition, it really could save this mode for me.

I also have to ask, are there custom sliders available in My Player this year?
