Im all for adding to the immersion but it needs to happen organically.

lol what makes you think it has a streetball feel? because he was shooting around on a blacktop? if your a basketball player at some point in your life you've played at a park before.

Like it or not, the opening scene was very much in the theme of "White Men Can't Jump" street ball scripting where the main character is a Woody Harleson type of player - as opposed to a Hoosiers type of feel.

If the opening scene had started with the guy shooting hoops off a backboard nailed to a barn, I'd have thought: "Hoosiers" instead of "White Men Can't Jump".

I don't think anyone is saying this feels like Rutgers ... just that 2k has scripted a "MYCareer" movie that we'll be the central star in. And as of right now, only seeing the screenshot and the opening cut-scene we begin in a certain setting.

The 1st scene is on an outside court, which Im pretty sure most of us dont play on anymore. Then, our only way with playing with other my players is to play in a streetball setting without NBA rules. The game is called NBA 2k, I want to pretend that Im actually in the NBA, taking advantage of their world class facilities. If I want to play on a blacktop ill go down the street and do it right damn now.

I just dont get why any outside courts have to in the game at all. NO ONE PLAYS ON THEM. At least where Im from. Its bad for your knees lol I just dont get it.

Still getting the game, but they need to know that some ppl do want a more realistic approach.

I must be real, I do not care for the early looks I've seen of MyCareer thus far (this video alongside the tidbits in the IGN review paint a pretty corny, overly done, MyCareer movie feel), but I can't agree with you on the statements you're making about playing basketball outside. Stepping out of the 2K realm for a moment, basketball is still played outside virtually everywhere. I understand this may not be the case in your city, but I assure you the street aspect of the sport is alive and well. To state that no one plays basketball outside anymore is extremely misguided.

Do we know what role an outdoor court will play in MyCareer? Not yet. Should it play a role at all? It's debatable. But to make broad and sweeping statements suggesting no one plays basketball outdoors anymore is a little shortsighted.

this ^^^^....where im from you play where ever you can so i can assure you that people still play ball outside. I understand what your saying about that whole blacktop thing in the game but maybe they wanna use a started from nothing type story or something idk we haven't really seen nothing and we most likely wont into Friday.

What's a travesty is that the Park looks really neat-- it actually looks beautifully implemented-- but you can't form Crews. Really?!

Not even the Blacktop 2.0 not-Crews-Crews. Why so much work on a "mind blowing" new mode-- but you can't even arrange to play as a team with your friends? My mind is blown for all the wrong reasons.

So basically we only have one voice to use in MyCareer when we play throughout the season/seasons.
