were you around when myplayer first started? that was the point of it. Live your nba career with the created player not 5 on 5 streetball with them. Crew came afterward

Very impressive video. The differences in speed between bigger players and smaller players has me excited.

which wouldnt bother me so much if it wasnt that in my player i see it happen a lot. I cant use my left to shoot in real life, and maybe its just me, but id like my myplayer counterpart to at least do the same moves as me (but of course be far more effective with everything he does) I want people who watch me use my player say "man that really is u" and if i do a left handed shot with my myplayer....it destroys that illusion..

If every thing works as advertised and the controls are what I'm imagining they will feel and play like, this could be a long awaited game of video basketball I've been looking for.

And just when I thought 2k was getting stale they tweak it nicely so far.

Who cares if it's about having a NBA career when you can't show off your player and all of the work you've put it? It feels good to go out and murder people with the guy you created and poured all of those hours into. FIFA has virtual pro ranked matches and pro clubs and it works wonderfully, why the hell can't the best basketball game get it right?

That would be false. My Player and Crew both were introduced in NBA 2k10.

And most Crew players use My Player just as practice and to get XP. They don't really care about what team they play for, what position they were drafted, trade rumors, press room grades, etc. All of that is just grinding to make your player better for Crew games.
