Definitely some nice looking improvements.

+Seems like much tougher to improve your player, which is a good thing.

+More post-interview questions and better answers!

+New drills and dynamic goals should be interesting.

+New player abilities mean players can be more unique.

+Very good to hear they have improve AI, last yr's AI was completely BS. Opponents won't miss while our teammate can't make open shots and only take stupid shots.

Sounds like this mode would be more my type of hype. I seem to be amidst the minority who is not happy about the elimination of the Draft Combine, Summer League and Training Camp in My Player mode. I am more curious about that mode than anything else at this point. Funny how so many from a Sim community wanted many of the Sim aspects removed from My Player. It seems like the goal this year was to focus on experience as opposed to simulation in some ways. What I am excited about however is the create a legend mode. Probably gonna run with Kemba Walker on that one.

I feel the same way, although mine is in meme form:

With the ability to sim through a good chunk of seasons now I hope we can't take our single-player My Players online. I hope they have created two versions, one online and the other offline. I want to play as many offline games of My Player as possible while also staying competitive in crew games. I could see a lot of players just simming through as many seasons as possible to get their players really dominant and then taking them online. That would ruin Crew games, in my opinion. Since Crew games weren't mentioned, I'm holding out hope this is what they're planning to do.

I like that Skill Points are harder to get and the fact that you have to pay for them. With the ability to buy other stuff, it makes choosing which thing is more important. Should I improve my ratings or abilities. Should I make donations or bowl with teammates to raise buzz? Should I buy Dunk/Layup packages?

Have to disagree on that.

Don't really like the idea of ONE game and interview determine where u go in the draft, a bit unrealistic.

Draft combine and Summer league were realistic stuffs, so probably shouldn't take them away. They should have just combine those with pre-draft interview.
