Yeah, not very insightful and quite minimalistic.
On the bright side, the post game insight is tomorrow. YAY

We're getting a post game insight tomorrow. I'll be looking forward to reading that one. As for this mode, I'm not feeling too hot about it, but of course, I don't want to spoil the fun for those who are.

idk about ratings really as long as players played like themselves. 2k did that pretty well from top to bottom last year and I dont have a problem with it this year. Kobe is 94 and I can already hear people going crazy over that. He cant jump anymore and his defense has taken a step backward(regardless of the def 1st team).

Lebron 98, Wade 96, Kobe 94....pathetic 2k.

well lebron did have slightly better stats than wade last season.

ON topic I have absolutely no interest in this game mode at all. This was probably the worst insight since the art insight IMO.

Next insights we have the meat and potatoes of the game such as POST GAME, CONTROLS,and DEFENSE,

cant wait!

# 7 Pezell04x @ 09/14/11 02:33 PM

pathetic??u can disagree friend but pathetic????

Bron 98: 26.7 pts. 7'5 reb. 7 asis.
wade 96: 25.5 pts. 8.4 reb. 4.6 asis.
Kobe 94: 25.3 pts. 5.3 reb. 4.7 asis.

watching those numbers I guess they should be rated 70-something...LOL!who diserves those ratings then?

# 9 OGKing @ 09/14/11 02:34 PM

Kobe should at least be a 96, no way wade is rated higher than him.

You're right. Kobe is at best an 82 at this stage.

# 11 skillz7854 @ 09/14/11 02:36 PM

So Durant should be a 93

and Rose 92

# 12 Btank314 @ 09/14/11 02:39 PM

Dang!!! 2k looks like you started another kobe vs lebron thread....Darn It!!! 2k...you had to show the ratings....Thanks Alot 2k

# 13 HakeemOlajuwon @ 09/14/11 02:40 PM

So,this mode doesn't interest me

werd this will now turn into an argument thread just because of the ratings they should of atleast censored the ratings.

Uh oh, looks like you're one of the few that watched the league the past few years.

scalabrine for mvp + hall of fame

# 17 rbillan @ 09/14/11 02:42 PM

ya was looking forward to using Penny in this mode

# 18 ShindoHikaru @ 09/14/11 02:44 PM

I think this mode seriously has a lot of potential that even 2K Sports hasn't tapped into yet. If this mode was included last year, I probably would've gotten Dirk his first championship too.

And by potential meaning additional commentary on how for example Darko Milicic turned out to be a future Hall of Famer or Steve Nash getting his first championship etc.

# 19 Yeah...THAT Guy @ 09/14/11 02:46 PM

Tracy McGrady or Brandon Roy about to get their careers back on track?! lol

# 20 dukedude24 @ 09/14/11 02:47 PM

Last season Kobe was 5th in PER, season before he was 15th.

but people thought he lost a step last yr, not the yr before. lol

Only difference last yr was Kobe's mins were down, so his PPG weren't as big, but his efficiency didn't drop.

Mins down were due to injuries....he didn't practice all yr long and still 5th in PER. lol

that's why he went to Germany and got treatment, he will be back to shut the dumb doubters once again, like he did many times in his career.

just for a reminder, here is what Kobe and Lebron been doing in this offseason.
