NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #5: MyTeam

Now, in "Road To The Playoffs" do you actually PLAY in the playoffs and compete for a championship? Like, you get up to that number one seed and start as a #1 seed in an tournament against online players?

Because THAT would be amazing.

It would be like Ultimate Team AND FIFA's H2H seasons combined.

This mode could have been great. 2K is taking what Ultimate Team does for Madden but with some of their own unique twists. But why would anyone in 2K dev team think it was a good idea not to allow you to play your friends with your team. Basically that one omission kills this mode for me. In today's gaming all online modes should have way to play your friends. Imagine a shooting game not allowing you to party up with friends, having to play ranked random games all the time, or being stuck in league with strangers? Why can't they get these things right. Always a glaring ommison.

Exactly. Terrible idea. So you're saying they shouldn't do it then. Wonderful idea.

Exactly. Isn't the playing with friends in the context of the playoff mode?

They didn't sat you can't play your friends. They siad you can't play "Road to the Playoffs" against friends.

They should have made it so that you can play with your friends but you can't gain VC. Either way I'm still going to play it
