NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #4: MyCareer

[morningstar777]

I personally prefer developing my player in the D-League/Summer league as opposed to just the rookie showcase. It added more layers into the game that I appreciated.

My Career looks absolutely amazing to me. The only thing I would've wanted them to make sure they got in was Olympic integration. I swear Smallz said something about it before but maybe i read wrong?

The gameplay/graphics look really fresh compared to 2K12. Can't really say what it is, but it definitely looks updated.


How do we upgrade our skills from now of on, because you earn coins now instead of XP's? I hope that system hasn't changed. Or is it going to be "10 coins for +1XP" ?




I like that you get a reponse from the coach but I hope it doesn't appear 100 times a game, once or twice is enough. And the "+1 coin" for making a FT or +2 for a dunk is kinda annoying, not really needed. In the end I can still see how many coins I made, right...

Pretty sure most of the footage we've seen from the dev's insights are from the PC version wich has better resolution than console version.

Does MyPlayer lose any immersion, because Draft Combine, Pre-Draft Workouts, Summer League, Training Camp, as well as the D-League, were removed. I ask because these elements aided the development of your player, opposed to the Showcase, etc.

I remember people complaining that it too way too long and was too boring to get to the NBA when those were a part of the mode. It is probably why they were removed.

IMO, yes it does. The draw back to the Combine, Summer League etc. is it's a longer process for those that want create multiple players or start their My player over.

I didn't mind the process at all and it brought a sense of realism to the mode.

Yup, all you saw was it's too much of a hassle to go through the Draft Combine and Summer League, and people were complaining about getting sent to the D-League with a sub-60 rating, like they were supposed to get a spot on an NBA roster because they were a 1st round pick.

People always hate alot of things until they don't have it anymore.
