i wonder what other unique warm-ups they'll have.

I hope assoc gets the same drip feed facebook attention My Career is getting.

This hand stand ritual isn't too bad, I'm happy we can purchase our own rituals. That's a plus, imo.

I dont know how I feel about this so I'm not going to comment on it...

# 4 MrBigShot1 @ 09/06/12 08:09 PM

Meh...I don't care much for this, a bit gimmicky. That's alright though, they're going to get to the good stuff soon according to Ronnie's twitter.

We should be able to use Kinect and create our own rituals. That'd be an announcement! Doubt it happens tho.

I like the idea of pre-game rituals, I hope they have some cool ones (don't know about that handstand).

Yeah, I think Friday if not tomorrow then next week.

I like it! I'm hoping they included some of the ones real NBA guys do as well as creating some more of their own.

Now I see why there are over 4000 animations.
I hope those 4000 animations are just for gameplay.

# 11 MP.Trey @ 09/06/12 08:22 PM

Meh. Nothing too appealing. They've clearly put work into the presentation, let's hope the gameplay improves as well.

I love that 2K is giving us so many options in MyCareer.

Although I was never big on MyPlayer, this may be something I'll give a go; especially now having the ability to possibly do this as my pregame ritual at the scorer's table:

I like this idea along with allowing us to use it to add our own jumpshots in the game if thats possible.

# 15 Zach_Novak @ 09/06/12 08:28 PM

We knew this from the achievements list that dropped early... i don't care about pre-game rituals most of the players who do them a f-wits anyway. Except KG, that man is a serious guy.

Let's hope there's good info tomorrow.

Can you imagine how many injuries would occur?

Breaking news, "A man tore his ACL and his labrum trying to create his own pre-game ritual on kinect. No timetable on when he is expected to have surgery and start his recovery process for next years game."

All these little additions can add up to help the overall experience, but unless they address player progression and teammate/computer AI, the mode will seem a let down.

# 19 2k10Fonzarelli @ 09/06/12 08:41 PM

A good question to ask LD2K or anyone in the know for that matter would be;

Are pre-game rituals something that are unique to My Career or can I make Hasheem Thabeet do handsprings and cartwheels if i should choose to do so?

# 20 jayman504 @ 09/06/12 08:46 PM

How about they get Arena Intro music to work...thats all I need to come out too...
