I think it gives the game a lot more longevity.

I think my favorite thing that I've heard is that in MyCareer your player gets his contracted paid in Virtual Currency, very cool. Makes the mode worth playing for that reason alone.

I'm praying that it's on HOF and Sim Sliders!

Can plays be assigned, for example. This is a huge addition IMO, AGAIN great stuff Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

If you can import your MyPLAYER into this mode, GAME OVER!! That would be sweet, so i bet it won't happen (although they did say that all MyPLAYER's would be stored on servers, so it could happen).

Exhibition against friends would be amazing, I'm assuming you will go 10-15 deep on rosters (just like the NBA), and you can specify game lengths in exhibition but it's locked to 8min quarters (or something like that) for road to the playoffs games.

This mode looks beyond sick!! I have some questions but I'm going to read through this thread first to see what's been asked/answered already.

In a moment of ignorance, I saw a quick screenshot of a player in a uniform that said "Royals" and I thought for a second "My Team" was going to include a new "Create-a-Team" feature where we could customize our own uniforms with team or city names across the chest. Alas, as I watched the video, I saw it was just a retro Kings jersey.

With that said, I'm not a big fan of fantasy rosters or online gaming, so a lot of this mode doesn't seem to be for me. What I did appreciate was 2K's willingness to provide something for offline gamers (the exhibition mode). I may not like fantasy rosters too much, but I do like unlocking things (or virtual buying things) so I could see myself giving this mode a shot. Though, I still think it would have been awesome if gamers could have created their own realistic-looking teams and uniforms.

This sounds like a great mode but I think cheesers will ruin. I would rather have sim communities with sim rules, but I like the love for online 2K. Good job.

Same here. I would love to create my own jerseys, stadiums, etc.
