NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #4: MyCareer

[ultima86]

loved the GM talks. Social Media stuff, and DEF the AI improvement

I want the game NOW....where is 2K HQs located lol

[RayDog253]

The gameplay last year really frustrated me at times. Team AI being the main culprit. So I'm glad to hear they spent so much time on improving that aspect of it.

It has happened in the past and will happen again. Let us look at Kwame Brown... The Washington Wizards decided to use their first overall pick on him. ...

I think most people can agree that Kwame was rated sub-60. In his rookie year, Brown averaged 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

I understand both sides of this "debate" ... some people enjoy the harder road, and others do not. Some people enjoy going through the entire thing once, but on their 3rd time through, it can become very tedious.

To expect every player to be like Shannon Brown or Matt Barnes is as unrealistic as to expect every player to be like Kobe and demand a certain team on draft day and to be put immediately in the rotation ...

The ultimate solution would be to grant both extremes, as others have suggested at the beginning where you start ... maybe one day the devs will be able to figure a way of doing so. I just wish posters here would stop suggesting others are unrealistic for wanting it their way, when both ways are valid.

It sounds like Jay-Z got Ludacris to do the myplayer's voice.

PIT is an 8-team, 12-game tournament held over a four-day period. April 11th to April 14th. Jimmy Butler, Landry Fields, and Jeremy Lin are some alum. (Résumé, seniors 2nd round and undrafted) NBA Draft Combine- in reality it’s the interviews, measurements, and athletic testing. The combine is drill based, there are no scrimmages. June 6th to 8th in Chicago. (Résumé Top 60 best prospects, both international and college) Euro Camp- Three day camp, internationals only, top prospect going through measurements, drills, daily scrimmages, and daily cumulative all star games. (Euros) Pre draft workouts- Every prospect with a shot at the NBA workouts for teams with interest. Doing various drills assigned. Coaching staff, management, and scouts are all there. (Every Résumé) All these events really exist, unlike the showcase thing. Summer League- Not optional, unless injury. (Every Résumé) D-League- If you get assigned, you go. (Every Résumé) Training camp (Every Résumé) *Top picks choose to participate in the combine. Users who have no interest, you'd get measured at the combine, but your agent would say the my player (you) will only participate in team workouts. Just like real top picks and lotteries do.

I like how your thinking and I will propose it but I think with all the previous complaining they may not see the demand for it. That is a lot of work if 90% of their audience will only select top 5 and skip everything else.
