NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #5: MyTeam

Re: NBA 2K13 Video - Developer Insight #5: MyTeam

You're more than welcome to give Dwight Howard those Signature Skills, but don't complain when you utilize players the wrong way and cannot WIN against other teams online. It's strategic, and gives you flexibility on how you want your teams to look.

God, don't tell people that. I want to play against people who throw Sig Skills like that on Dwight Howard. Easy VC.

Looking at the great scope of things the addition of this mode is a welcomed feature, I like be given options ... and this surely increases the replayability of 2k13, be it by little or by much.

Interested to see on how the restrictions to make it strategical where implemented and if they ultimately and realisticaly meet their intention ...

Now, looking forward to the prospect of having an association written insight.

I'm not THAT interested in this mode, I mean, I'll probably give it a try for a little bit, but I'll probably stick with Association and MyPlayer. By the way, has anything been done to Association or are we going on a 3rd or 4th straight year of it getting absolutely nothing done to it?

I think you need to read back up on the Sig Skills. Corner Specialist doesn't give you a 30% boost, it gives you a 5% boost if you satisfy the prerequisites.

if u read the post correctly i said im not sure what type of boost it gives you, i was being hypothetical......but im chillin tho.

I've had a few vague answers about whether or not you can play your MyTEAM against your friends' MyTEAM. If you can, this blows away Online Association. Love the fantasy basketball aspects and the tweaking you'll need to do to get the team you want. Unless you want to play an Online Association with a specific team, i can see this being a really popular mode.

Between this and the new MyCAREER, my social life is on hold for the next 4 months...

Another great mode added! I am not sure how much time I will give this but it looks pretty good!

This mode looks incredible. Can't wait to put together a complementary team and add on to it. Going to be amazingly fun. Literally can't wait much longer, that demo Tuesday is going to get played more than any demo I've ever downloaded.

The VC salary situation is great so long as it keeps things balanced long term. Also, actual salaries and the salary structure would add another layer but this will do just fine. Will likely play this if I ever want to play 2k online. Great, great stuff.

Definitely more to the mode than I thought. Will definitely try it out.

I think I'm starting to like this Virtual Currency thing. Since it's involved with almost everything in the game, it makes playing everything more rewarding as not only do you gain enjoyment out of playing the game, but you also get rewarded with something you can use to make another mode better. I think it gives the game a lot more longevity.

Not really feeling this mode. I would have rather they spent the amount of time they did on this (which seems rather extensive) on Association Mode which has sorely been needing improvements and touch-ups. There's much longer sustainability with Association Mode than smaller modes like this which may seem fun at first but likely won't keep the gamer interested through the long-haul.

I also wasn't a fan of being able to add signature skills to players. Isn't the point of a basketball game authenticity? Why would I want to face someone who made Dwight Howard a spot-up shooter?

Not trying to be a downer. I'm sure a lot of people will have fun with this mode and more power to them. I just wish their resources were allocated differently.

sorry bro this will keep me more interested than association mode. that becomes redunant real quick after the 1st season. This mode uses ONLINE and OFFLINE mode as well as user vs user strategy. I usually stick to leagues and ranked but i may give this a try

Haha, my bad. I just saw Corner Specialist then 30% and I was like, "What?".

30% would be ridiculous, anybody who is a decent 3pt shooter would never miss.

A few questions immediately though.

- How long are the games?
- How many players per roster? Are we going 5 deep, 10 deep, in building teams?
- Can you play exhition my team games against friends?
- I thought I read that you could put myplayers in this mode, how does that work?
- How customizable is the team itself. Can plays be assigned, for example.

This is a huge addition IMO, AGAIN great stuff

I think my favorite thing that I've heard is that in MyCareer your player gets his contracted paid in Virtual Currency, very cool. Makes the mode worth playing for that reason alone.

I'm praying that it's on HOF and Sim Sliders!

If you can import your MyPLAYER into this mode, GAME OVER!! That would be sweet, so i bet it won't happen (although they did say that all MyPLAYER's would be stored on servers, so it could happen).

Exhibition against friends would be amazing, I'm assuming you will go 10-15 deep on rosters (just like the NBA), and you can specify game lengths in exhibition but it's locked to 8min quarters (or something like that) for road to the playoffs games.
