NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #6 - Training Camp

[Eman5805]

I'm lost. What is this insight that no one cares about that everyone keeps mentioning...but won't say the heck it is?

gameplay vids would have been perfect for this insight. maybe a couple of short videos demonstrating different drills or even just 1 longer video showing off the mode. I like the addition of this mode to the game. Usually the first thing I do when I get the game is go to practice mode and get use to the feel, this will help me learn and master all the new controls a lot quicker.

Not to mention most sports games don't make as many changes and additions as 2k does on a yearly basis. Madden 12 could have summed up all of the changes in 3 insights. I like that 2k takes the time to write an insight about all the new features whether its something minor or major.

I like 2k's methods because it gives us something to look forward to each week. They could have given us one big preview in august but then we have nothing to look forward to except the release date of the game. It's funny because either way people will find ways to complain, yet in the end we will probably all get the game week 1.

For those complaining/wondering I'm sure 2k is saving insights for Gameplay, Association, and Online for closer to release. Going off your boxing analogy 2k is throwing light punches right now and saving its hay-makers for later...not quite sure who they are swinging at though lol. knocking out customers with excitement?

Same here. This looks like a cool mode to learn something.

Kobe with Jordan

perhaps Bird with LeBron

and

Magic with cp3?

I assume they will put the 3 cover legends in there

If any of the legends need subtitles, it's him.

ummm an advanced practice mode i guess. The mentor part is not all that exciting but i do like how they will show you the controller and what motion to use. Might be good for the new comers, and casual 2k players but i dont think those that have been playing 2k for awhile will use this mode very much. Wish it was added to association mode and you could improve players by doing this. This would be much more realistic as players irl go workout with old time greats to improve an area of there game.
