A lot have the mindset of, "It's a video game", so anything goes in trying to win. Of course 5 on 5 play will mask many of the A.I. flaws, and given how the game keeps growing sales wise, most seem not to really care about the nonsensical basketball play styles. For the first time in the history of the series, I'm not optimistic about the gameplay/A.I. in the upcoming game.

I must be getting old. I just remembered that one of the major cable companies (TNT?) had announced an eSports show. I guess I can't wrap my head around watching other people play a game.

To be fair, back when Video Arcades were common, I used to watch other people play Street Fighter and Mortal Combat for hours. Times are changing, and I guess I'm acting like a stubborn old man, lol.

Nah. It's so many legit players in the pro-am community it won't be that easy for youtubers. Good ole Scott Gallagher knows this.

5 myplayers and a bench of real players? I read something not here that they will follow the real nba schedule. I think this would be much better if all the teams are comprised of real NBA players. Basically have a Draft so that the teams are somewhat balanced. I also think think they would be wise to have all of this local basically the gamers should travel and have home and away games like real NBA. This should not be left up to 2 k Servers

So you think anyone who "makes" a team should consider this a full time job? Everyone needs to pull back on the reigns a bit LOL.

That's the part that's confusing me. However, the Korean "stars" treat their gaming status like a professional. I would imagine the drafted people are not going to be your Average Joe's. Whomever they draft would have to be dedicated to this which brings up another question. Are players getting paid for this?

[NYCDaFuture]

Players are getting paid for this once you get drafted.. What I want to know is how do we qualify to be in the draft? Is it through playing regular head to head games like Play Now Online? Then whoever is ranked the best then they draft us? If so I like that a whole lot better cuz it relies on your own skills to get that far..

They should use real nba rosters and have 1 player from every city play as that team. Let the real Nba team pick theuser.

Make the user go to the arena to play the game.
