i have to say im impressed...if somehow 2k managed to deal with mods, these improvements should make CREW games beautiful....they'll allow players to play different instead of everybody having the same exact abilities.

no way it's realistic to just have one game to determine that.

what if someone has one bad game? so he doesn't deserves to be a 1st rounder?

think about it, if real life draft stock all depend on one game....

lets say John Wall played a bad game in this one rookie showcase game, he is gonna be a 2nd rounder?? no, so it's not realistic to have one game to have so much impact on where u go in the draft.

Neither is draft combine, but it is more realistic than one game.

also not sure why people don't like Summer league, that's what real rookies go through in real NBA. Also good way to warm you up.
Your myplayer is not in relation to John Wall tho. You are a 60-something overall, so really you are slotted as a 2nd round pick and have a chance at moving up.

I fell out when I read that.

Yeah, I might be spending ample time on MP this year. Last year it was just sort of a way to try something different when I didn't really wanna play a regular game. Color me excited.

I find it interesting to see that you have (get) to buy signature shots. I wonder if to start you just get to chose from the ones like Waves, Textbook, etc, and if Kobe's shot cost more than say.....Caron Butler's. I wonder....

I also think that the Creating a Legend mode will be pretty sick. Probably similar to myplayer, but getting to start out with a player like Durant or anybody. Awesome!

Good read. Seems like this mode will great again this year. Makes me wonder how much better they made association mode this year? Does anyone know when they will do the insight for association mode??

I'm not buying 2k now...forget that...all that my player talk (bull crap) and he failed to tell me if I put ankle braces on my player, can I put socks on over top of em....I was waiting to see if I could adjust the length of my freaking shorts....or if I could get the Amare shades or Rip's facemask....eff 2k, they aren't getting my money.....SYKE... I can't wait til October gets here...I'm ready to play my player mode right now....Great Insight BTW....NBA 2k12 = Game of the Year....and it ain't even close....

Very good read, but I sure hope you can adjust sliders in My Player!

I concur that was one of the funniest things I read this year. And there are some real comedians in here.

NBA 2k12 is going to make 2k11 look like NBA Elite 11.
 
# 76 CelticPride101 @ 09/09/11 05:47 PM
looking forward to this

I'm not a my player fan... I'm all about the sim online community .. But just from an admiration stand point this insight speaks to what makes 2k basketball special. They know they have a good game, they know they have no comp, they know they have a diverse audience to appeal to, and yet they keep making several, impactful changes to improve an already stellar experience! Big ups 2k... U have EARNED my 60 this year again. Got my ear glued to the floor waiting for information on online association!

bummer, no mention of custom sliders. I would trade all of that new stuff in for only sliders being added.

what good is a great new playcalling system in My Player if Ray Allen continues to shoot 13% from wide open 3's every time you run a play for him? or if everytime I penetrate as a PG and kick it to a wide open Pierce or Allen they ignore the disgustingly open look to instead drive into the clogged up lane I just collapsed to put up a ******** contested brick?

any 2k12 gameplay improvements will get old soon if we can not tweak them to our individual liking. some people love scoring 40 pts a game and dominating the action, I don't want to have to do that to get wins. that to me is boring. I can limit my own attributes which is fine, but I can't tweak my teammates.

if My Player had sliders last year, I'd still be playing that mode no doubt. hopefully they are in, but I'm starting to get a bad feeling..I love this mode, but have to quit every year for the same reason...

The whole AI got an increase in overall skill thing is a moot point I guess. Why don't people realize that Custom Sliders would make the MyPlayer experience beyond super easy? I don't care what anyone says you know there are going to be people that pretty much set everything at 100 for exponential growth in short time stretches. It takes away from the whole earn it mentality and you might as well just edit a player instead.
