Only one character in The Prelude. In NBA 2K17 you can probably have like 5 characters like last year.

ahhhh okay. so you can switch between your different saves. i thought they meant you could switch between multiple characters within the same save.

They should create a generator where you insert

Position- Small Forward
Height- 6'8
Weight- 225
Archetype- Point Forward
Wingspan- 82.7"

and then it gives you the maximum for each attribute, that way before selecting everything you know what you're limited to.

Yes. You can take control of your fictional team mates who are part of the story.

It says you can only do the free version of the prelude once? I assume that means the prelude is also including in NBA 2k17 and I can redo it as many times as I want?

Will it be more like 2k15 where they called specific plays, more variety of plays, calling plays for the hot man, etc.?? Please say yes If it incorporates the changes they made to MyGM and MyLeague, absolutely. It's incredibly deep. 2) The wear and tear/fatigue system that Mike mentioned in gameplay, does that apply to MyCareer as well? If so, do certain attributes like weight and strength or certain badges influence that? Can you get hurt in game? Does your coach not play you for the full game now? I would hope so, but again speculating. The fact that you can lift weights etc. seems to think this would be fully integrated or at least improved. I also wasn't aware of your guy never getting hurt last year as admittedly I didn't make it too far in that mode. 3) I see you said we can get to a 99. Does that mean we can potentially exceed some of the caps in the archetype we pick? If so this is huge because I feel the archetypes looked to restrictive but I feel you should be able to exceed them if you really put in the work. It shouldn't be easy of course. And your development should depend on all things you do in practice and in game like how consistent are your shot releases, drills, etc. Based on what you said Mike it sounds like this is in the game. Yes, you can exceed. This is the concept of "Doin' Work." 4) Will it be easier to sim through seasons without missing off days? Last year if we simmed the game before an off day we couldn't participate in the off day immediately following the game that we simmed. So it was either play the game or miss a practice. I thought this was unnecessarily penalizing people that want to get through their career fast. I want to actually finish a full 15-20 year career this year but things like that made it difficult. Please tell me that's changed. This was not discussed one way or another.

When you say exceed the caps can I feasibly have a 99 rating in every attribute? Seems extreme.

You can. When you're in the NBA and on the team w/ the Michael B. Jordan character, they mentioned you can switch to him. They also said you can choose not to and just play as yourself the whole time.
