This is all a strategy to gain new consumers who never played 2k basketball games now they get to try a demo of it for free.

Lol. I think that's what marketing is about in general. Win win though.

They're taking the risk that a wild Jesus Coach K appear and ruin their franchise forever though.

If 2k was smart they would separate college from NBA 2k and sell it as a standalone so they can sell more, investing in more collegiate team's. I would so buy it if it released during the summer, like everyone says there's only a limited amount of space to put on one disc. Heck even a legends standalone game would sell well during the dead summer months, imagine a whole dev team dedicated to legends unlike now, it wont compete with NBA 2k since it will be released during the summer.

I don't even play MyCareer.

What I will do though, if this actually helps them bring us back a College Hoops game, I'll buy up that DLC to support for sure.

I'd pay for more legend teams if 2K would do it. That's worthwhile DLC to me IMO

I just remembered something else that would make this game more enjoyable.
The return of the Draft combine! this was by far one of the best features for 2k10 because it was released a month before the game came out that year and you got to build your Myplayer up and play him in the summer leagues to see where he could get drafted at in mycareer. How awesome would that be if they allowed you to do that again? Do you remember how the OTHER game allowed us to play their version of Pro Am and get his overral to an 80?
Well i believe if 2k worked their magic and somehow could get us to be able to work on our myplayers in summer leagues and AAU tournaments, that some how someway based on how well you perform, you can determine how well you do in the draft.

What would be even better is if we could play against each other in the Park & jordan rec center/pro am/crew mode with the players that we've made. none of the wins would count once the game officially came out, but we could all get a feel of how the game is played and what we need to improve on once that game is out.

Speaking of which....

Why can't we go back to focusing on playstyles to differentiate between players? It seems everyone is the same out here. My thing is this, Every players goal is to get as well rounded as possible in every area of basketball as possible. 2k should not cap myplayers ceilings on how the final product of the myplayer turns out to be.

for example...
Kawhi Leonard starts of as a lockdown defender. After a few years working on his game he turns into a an efficient 3 point shooter and well rounded basketball player.

i'm not saying this is the norm, nor am i saying every nba player has the drive to better themselves, but it should be reflected in the game that just because you make a play style that you have to stick it and cant be good at more than one thing.

Like take Russell Westbrook for instance, there have been quite a few guards that were pretty good at rebounding before him, and I'm sure there will be more that come after him that will excel in that category as well. But the fact of the matter is that Russy has the athleticism and drive to want to go after rebounds, so that if you create a myplayer and focus your attribute points on rebounds, you should be able to snag a few boards a game amongst the trees to make your player stand out from the pack.

"purchase and download playable “all-time great” teams for each of the playable colleges as well as special collegiate MyTeam cards representing legendary players."

Classic college teams in 2k? That's crazy. Never expected this. I wonder if it's the same colleges as last year or if they added more.

One thing that I really liked about the trailer was the my player voice. He sounded like an average guy. Last year the voice sounded like someone from the hood or something.

Holy crap!
I didnt even know about this after I watched the trailer. I guess I need to start reading everyting huh?
This is awesome. I actually like making alltime school teams over alltime NBA teams. It'll be weird without having a chance to play as some of the collegiate greats from programs like Kentucky, UNC and Duke.

Re: Get a Head Start on Your NBA 2K17 MyCAREER on September 9 with The Prelude

I remember last year people asking for playstyles well 2k granted that wish it shows they actually read the wishlist thread.

Hope they have something mic drop worthy for MyLeague......

Re: Get a Head Start on Your NBA 2K17 MyCAREER on September 9 with The Prelude

I'm curious to see what gameplay additions they added because 2k usually reveals the best for last.

Re: Get a Head Start on Your NBA 2K17 MyCAREER on September 9 with The Prelude

So, noticed one thing though, small forward with "Glass cleaner" has 25 in strength and rebounding, max height seems to be 6'10" and I'd assume he'd be faster than the Centers, so there's really no point in making a center as a glass cleaner, right?

I hope we can murder our college coach's family

What's makes this even funnier is I *think* that ref is the same actor thats in the trailer. Matt Walsh from VEEP.

Wingspan has advantages and disadvantages this year, wow.

This is great, I hope I can make my Lamar Odom prototype. Have to see what the speed rating is when being a 6'10 Small Forward
