Looks all Neighborhood/MyCareer, and nothing else. I thought they were going to be doing something different this year like ... real gameplay? Play Now with a few select teams?

Oh well. Only a little over a week left till we can actually sink our teeth into it.

Only 2 days until Prelude?

Meh. I hope there's a 2KU mode in here to keep me occupied after the MyCareer story is done lol

Not to put words in Czars mouth but he seemed to imply we'll be able to see freelances...so I am thinking 5v5 is in the demo in some respect..

You know what the word prelude means, right? Career is the story, the NBA 2k prelude is the prelude to the story. I think the "something completely different" was in reference to the neighborhood that hadn't been revealed yet that we've never seen anything like in a sports game before.

I will be both surprised and disappointed if there is no option to play with real NBA teams. Couldn't they throw in an option for GS vs. Cavs to give us a taste of the all the amazing gameplay improvements they've advertised?
