Comparing MyPlayer Difficulty: 2k14 vs. 2k11

[dukebeatsuncagain]

This is the difference just a few years makes in MyPlayer. Both were done using All-Star/Sim with 12 minute quarters. PG 3pt Specialist.

2k14: Started Rookie Showcase and just intentionally fouled out with a stat line of 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0. I was drafted late 1st round by the Knicks. Was a 73 ovr, after actually playing drills, and after 5 games of intentionally fouling out as soon as possible, I was notified I was 'On Jordan Brand's radar because of my recent games performance.'

2k11: Averaged 16pts, 6ast, 2reb through 3 games of the Draft combine, got drafted early in the 2nd round to the Trailblazers. Averaged 13pts, 4 ast, 1.5reb in 5 Summer League games...and was cut.

Hey man, all your talking about how good NBA 2K11 is has intrigued me, can you tell me about the game, and some of its features. I mean, I can get it for twenty bucks, so if it would be worth it cool! Can you please describe it for me? Thanks!

It was so much better before. With the current "become a dominant player 12 games into your career" the mode gets insanely old, insanely fast.

There should at least be an option for those who'd prefer a more challenging journey.

Keep in mind there's no online and maybe no patches (not sure). And 2k11 was unplayable before the patches, a lot of freezing in mycareer to the point where you had to start over. Centers shooting threes. That's all i remember, but there was more.

Could I just find patches online? Plus, I'll get it on Steam so it will be legit

You can still get the patches, I have been playing it all weekend and am happy with everything I am seeing.

In my opinion 2k11 MyPlayer gives you the closest thing to a sports RPG as you will find. You have to level up, you have to gain XP, you have to execute or you won't play. If you don't have the skill in a certain area...you straight up can't do it. Big men with low dribbling, ball security ratings fumble the ball trying to move. I'm seeing air balls and AWFUL shots.

Very dynamic and challenging, for me, keeps me immersed so much more than 2k14.

All opinionated, obviously, but for $5 used at Game Stop, this game can't be beat.
