Nothing crazy for me there, but as every year I'll give the mode a chance.

Damn you, Duke.

So...does this mean we have Gold, Silver and Bronze? Because if so...

...OK, so not quite actually predicting it, but let me bask in my fake glory, would ya?

LOL at the backflip from the scorer's table. I'm sure Ronnie2K was suspended after that.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #4: MyCareer

Liked a lot of what I saw. Glad to hear they focused on the AI. LOVE that signature skills have 3 different levels and they don't all cost the same.

My biggest complaint/concern is that all the upgrades you can get for your MyPlayer seem to be too affordable. 500-1000 VC for most sig skills seems way too easy, given that Ronnie2K got over 400 VC in the game they showed. It seems that you can afford a sig skill after just a couple games, when I would rather it take you nearly the entire first year to afford 1 or 2 signature skils. I want to feel like I'm really earning my upgrades, but it seems like you may be able to grab whatever attribute, skill or accessory you want- to a point.

All told, I'm loving the options we have to differentiate our players, and I'll still be checking out the mode.

The mention of upgraded teammate ai and to see it in motion, even if just a few glances, was all I really needed. Being able to get drafted #1 overall is great, but I will play just good enough to get to the #2 spot in the draft.

That's probably why there are tiers on the skills. A Level 1 Brick Wall probably can't put people on the floor as often as a Level 3.

The Level 1 tiered Sig Skills were 1000 VC who knows how much of an increase the next level(s) will cost. He got 400 in a key game, hence the 2x multiplier. It'll be easy but not that easy.

There was only 1 level for brick wall. Not every Sig Skill has 3 Levels.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #4: MyCareer

my main concern with this mode is improving the off-ball control. because My Career requires you to play so much off-ball, being able to freely move around the court is crucial...but in 2k12 there was so much suction and bumping when trying to move around off-ball that i eventually just got tired of it and gave up on the mode. just simply moving around the court was a chore. Rob Jones mentioned in a previous interview that they worked on improving this area, so hopefully it's much better this year. also, the off-ball movement by your teammates was worse in 2k12, which was another big turnoff. i would be trying to set my teammates up, but they would just refuse to cut to the hoop or make proper off-ball movements.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #4: MyCareer

HOLY. ****.

They have different levels for the Signature Skills. Skip to 3:55

Roster Editors rejoice!

That one segment was more important to me than the rest of the video.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #4: MyCareer

Hey 2K, make sure you play through at least one season of this game mode before you release it with some dumb sh*t like the 76ers always getting 1st pick in the draft.

Christ I thought I was the only one that had that happen.

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #4: MyCareer

Looks amazing!!! Not really a big deal but I really hope you can choose what Jersey's you wear before the game this year. I also hope they give us a larger list of call names (first and last names) for our players.
