The new NBA 2K11 Developer Insight is online. This one talks about My Player mode.
Quote:
"This is Erick Boenisch again, Producer for NBA 2K11 although many of you may know me by my forum name, SimBaller. I spoke a few weeks back about MJ: Creating a Legend. I’m here today to talk to you about the My Player mode and some of the exciting changes we have made to it this year. NBA 2K10 saw the birth of My Player, the first true career mode experience ever for the NBA 2K series. With one year of this mode under our belts, we’ve learned quite a bit; things like what works, what doesn’t work, and what you all want to see in the mode this year. Enough chatter, let’s dive into what NBA 2K11’s My Player is all about…"
What was the point of blurring Kobe, Phil and the other guy faces if we saw them in a pic. :P
EDIT: I guess that it will give us options to select our player type of voices right?
can you change your players voice? I surely hope so...get insight and nice video, would have been nice to have contracts as they didn't mention it but it also says there is one thing that wasn't talked about in the blog that will be a FB tidbit so jury is still out on that. Seems the whole sig shoe thing is jordan brand only, I can live with that.
Overall it was a pretty good read, I'm liking what I am hearing

Cool insight. I was hoping for things like battling for playing time in practice and such. No training camp this year it seems... don't like that too much if true.
"Attribute Caps: In an effort to make each Playstyle mean more, we are enforcing attribute caps on players this year. An example of what this means is a Defensive PG might have a max stealing attribute of 99 while a Shoot First PG might have a max stealing attribute of 80. This is going to pay off when you you’re playing My Player Pick-Up games. In 2K10, without attribute caps, this would mean that you might be playing against a 7’2 center that had a ballhandling rating of 99. That’s not realistic and not an experience we want you to encounter."

This year I am more excited to play My Player than last year. Everything sounds phenomenal loving the overall immersion and upgrade in polish and presentation. Also hoping for a realistic practice mode ("We talking about practice. Not a game not a game. Practice. What are we talking about? practice") during your carreer. Where how well you do in practice and scrimmages determines playing time. Hopefully that ends up being the case. The post game press conference is a thing of beauty though.
