    because: You don't get subbed when ur playing 32 minutes/game - this is in myC with SS/SIM, 10 mins qtr. Either being blownout or having a big lead late in the 4th.

But I've always tried to mix it where I sound clear and concise but not a total tool. Kevin Love, he'll, even Farrell(which you meet in game and I've heard in real life) sound more put together.

      There should be a voice option for sounding urban and one for sounding like someone not trying to earn street cred with the most ebonics used in one sentence.
      I couldn't agree more. I'm a white guy from Norway, so when my guy sounds like a black guy who has grown up in the hood it feels very contrived. I realize that you will never get my kind of accent right in the game, but that has never been an issue. I'm perfectly happy with an American accent on my guy as long as he speak in a way I might do.

      As for the ethnicity of the voice actor, it don't matter one way or another in this case. It could be a Chinese midget for all I care. If the script is written in the tone of someone from the hood, you are going to sound like someone from the hood. Cleveland on Family Guy is done by a white voice actor. It doesn't make a difference as long as you has the quality in your voice to make you sound authentic.

      And the MyPlayer is such a douche, which is baffling considering they want you to scan your own face on this guy. From chasing the agent around the apartment when you didn't get drafted, scolding him when a comes to you with offer sheets for try outs and kind of picking fights with his other clients. My dream of playing in the NBA doesn't include being a jackass. When your guy doesn't act like a total dick, he acts like an overeager 12-yearold. "I won't disappoint you, I will make you sooooooooooooo proud of me!". Seriously? Who talks like this guy anyway? His level of emotion is all over the place in general. Like before the first game where he says he's fired up with a level of emotion that could make most people fall asleep. There seems to be no balance.

        Not to derail the thread, but I agree. I grew up in inner city Chicago, and I'm white. I catch myself using some hood slang sometimes (Triffiling, bustdown, etc) but I'm educated. I have a large vocabulary, and I'd rather speak like I'm educated so people don't assume I'm just a thug from the hood.
        So everybody from the "hood" speaks like that? You guys make racist statements subconciously without even recognizing them..... That's mindblowing to me. I wish 2k would have more voices to cater to people of all backgrounds but just because you don't understand Black culture don't mean you have to label them as thug sounding. I know some Europeans who will rob you with a smile on their face, while speaking the Queen's english. Those are the real thugs to me. People who will pass laws to protect their interest while disregarding others.

          I couldn't agree more with you on this statement.

            I didn't once state anything about race in the post that was quoted.
