NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #5 - My Player

[NoTiCe_O]

Alot if GREAT info, i like what they did with press conferences, it'd be cool if they put in "on court post game press conferences" too with the sideline reporters, with a lil timer so u have to think fast.

Also does any of this translate online, i'd love to play around the world and knockout against other online myplayers

Because I'm an achievement whore I will try ridiculously hard to be a lottery pick, then I will begin my real one after I get the achievement. I want to go to the Nets so I need to play like a bum to be the 27th pick in the draft.

SMH...it's a damn shame how good this game is sounding. God 2k basketball games are just, amazing.

For the most part im very happy about this. Couple thoughts...
1. I really really really hope AI is improved in this mode-hopefully are teammates are competent and the other team is more realistic (ie no more doing a post fadeaway 15 possessions in a row with players like ben wallace)
2. I am very glad they raised the starting skill level to 60 or so... starting at 40 sucked, at least now ur guy can have some sort of basketball ability
3. I hope online pick up games are still there, that is what motivates me to improve my player
4. I sincerely hope that modded players are done for. That garbage ruined 2k10 and 2k11 for me.
5. I agree with whoever said they want defensive ability improvements-I like making big guys, and I want to swat stuff like D12, Russel, etc.

Just a few things that came to my mind after reading this

2K is doing it big with all the MP news i glad we get all the new features but i still hope the ai on my team wont just come down in jack up 20 3's a game

Ya very good insight! I think the most importing thing that will make my player great this year is the improved A.I. I always hated my centers standing at the 3pt line for no reason! Let's just hope that good shooters will actually make most of their open jumpers this year cuz on 2K11 you could have a teammate who was a great 3pt shooter and they would miss the majority of their shots. It was the worst in crew games as your A.I. teammates would practically miss every 3pt shot.

Agreed! How smart the A.I. is will either make or break My Player's gameplay. Oh ya and hopefully people won't be able to hack and get a 99 OVR my player this year. There would be no point of playing Crew if everyone has a modded 7'5 99 OVR player.
