NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

[balldoktor81]

guys i think one of us already asked that question: "what about player improvement?" do we still have to do those training sessions? or do the players improve by playing a regular game.....? would be nice if someone could answer on that

Yes. It was clearly stated in the insight.

do you know if, after this stellar developer's insight, will there be another insight targeting NBA today 2.0 and its implications in association mode?

It all sounds great, but I've fallen for the incredible 2K hype machine before, and they've let me down. Believe me, I hope it plays really well. All the secondary stuff really doesn't matter if the gameplay is horrible. Here's hoping it plays amazing

Just amazing stuff 2K brought to the table! And it's not even out yet! Wow! Thank you!

Oh and I'm new here on the OS! Hello everyone! Go Lakers! 3-peat!

CPU teams will now be making effective use of the NBA D-League this year. They will be sending down young players who aren’t getting enough playing time to ensure they continue to develop. Remember, the more playing time young players get, the better the chance they have of reaching their full potential. If you draft a player and stash him on your bench for a few years, his development will take a significant hit. Give your players every opportunity to develop into all they can be!

This is not nearly getting enough love on here. The D-League actually mattering and not just being a place to stash players so they don't complain about PT is huge. Having player's growth stunted by not getting enough time on the court is genius. A person may have A+ potential, but it's not automatic. We have to make sure their potential is realized. I am going to love the D-League!
