I probably will be using Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and Eric Gordan( he is so underrated)in this mode. Four young players that can still get better, I don't want to play as someone who basically at their peak.

I think I'll give regular My Player a try first, but when I try this mode out, I'll probably either play as Brandon Roy, Tracy McGrady, Andrew Bogut (I'm a Bucks fan), or perhaps even someone like Chris Bosh where I'll ask to be traded so that I can be at least the #2 guy for a title contender instead of getting hung out to dry all the time. My respect for him went way up in the Finals after listening to all his post-game interviews and stuff. He seemed to take the Finals much more to heart than LeBron and even Wade in my opinion.

This. I'm thinking about playing with a nice young SG. Maybe Nick Young? I want someone athletic and has size, maybe 6'7, can abuse in the post.

I'd go Yao Ming (assuming they go with last year's rosters) with injuries turned off.

The rosters before the lockout began.

oh, that's fine i guess. So the draft trades are still there though right?

For example, felton to portland, miller to denver?

Yeah. You can see Rudy playing for the Mavs in some of the footage and screenshots we've received.

How did I forget Nick young, Evan turner would be good a pick too, for a SG.

Samething I said..

But what happens if you become a older player like Jason Kidd or Steve Nash. You know guys on the brink of retirement. How does that work? I will be playing this mode a lot. I never like the building a My player from 45 rating thing. I got a job with party life. Don't have time for that.

# 72 doublek @ 09/14/11 03:54 PM

C'mon, no one mentioned about the Kings youngsters: Tyreke and Cuz? They'd be fun to use!

First thing I'd do is demand a trade.

I think the my player this year starts at mid 60s now but harder to upgrade now.

Im going to pick someone thats been forgotten. Marcus Williams that played for the Nets behind Kidd. In all my association, he is usually my backup pg and is a good player that needs a little development. He can score with ease from mid-close range and is a good passer.

Or Donte Green from Sacramento 6"11 sf can shoot the 3 and is athletic.

Or Bayless from Toronto and become the next AI

Possibly Jimmer Fredette,but being a Spaniard maybe I'll give Ricky Rubio a shot.

# 76 UnbelievablyRAW @ 09/14/11 04:06 PM

The rating order is correct. Wade has been playing better than Kobe since the 09 season where he was robbed of the MVP. Lebron is proibablygoing to be brought back down to 96 with Wade like last year and Kobe MIGHT be 95. (Last year's rating's) You have to be a rabid Kobe fan to say he is better than both Wade and Lebron.

On another note, it'd suck if we can only start from THIS point in their career. Playing as T-Mac would be crappy because you'd be 32 on your way out of the league and I don't think your potential to get any greater (at least in 2K12 for older players) won't be high enough for him to be a superstar again.
