No info on customizable D League, a Coaching Carousel like the college game, Draft Combine and The Summer league in Association Mode.

Guess we'll have those next year.

If these issues aren't fixed the only reason I'll play association OS to familiarize myself with my OS Vets Rockets team. I hope these things are fixed, but as excited as I am for My Player, online league and the Jordan stuff, I have to mention that the offline game AI has been on a slolam since 2k8.

Gameplay and AI looks good from the demo and the many vids we've seen thus far

Nobody knew it would be barely playable until the retail dropped for 2k9 and 2k10. Not saying it will be as bad this year. Just that I remember that the draft combine played one way and then the retail version jumped out of the box with a butcher knife and hockey mask and killed our offline sim.

Unbelievable at the additions that have been made. WOW. Possibly the best sports game ever if everything is executed correctly.

- Auto-Generated Portraits: For those of you who play many years into Association, you will recall from last year that all generated players had silhouettes for their portraits. Aside from being unsightly, this really draws you away from the authentic feel of being in the NBA. In NBA 2K11, ALL generated players will have auto-generated portraits that will 100% resemble the physical appearance of the player. No longer will you have a league full of players who have silhouettes as portraits!

now that is what am talking about.......
but question...and anybody feel free to answer if they know.....but can u make 3 team trades?
