    My Player: Rookie Showcase

    Looks like the rookie showcase is still in my player. The rookie showcase turned me off my player 2k12, for the simple fact it doesn't exist.

    I think 2k should go back to the Draft Combine, Summer League, and Training Camp format.

        Don't exclude the possibility that the combine and summer league aren't in this year's game. We still have to wait and see. Wouldn't it be cool if it went like this? Combine-->Showcase-->Draft-->Summer League-->Preseason-->Season

          In my opinion My Player needs everything a college or international prospect does before they start the season:

          1. Sign a Agents
          2. Hire a Trainer (to prepare for draft)
          3. Open runs (with fellow draftees)
          4. Portsmouth Invitational (for second round and undrafted senior prospects)
          5. NBA Draft Combine (drills and measurements only)
          6. Pre-Draft team and individual teams workouts
          7. Adidas Euro Camp (it's for euros only, every NBA team goes)
          8. Summer League, orlando and vegas
          9. Training Camp( battling for a spot)
          10. Weekly Practices

          All is needed as well as more to add more realism to my player.

            2K should bring back the Draft Combine..... The Rookies Showcase was aight.... BUT 1 game to make or break your career....not cool....
            Memphis Grizzlies.....
            TN Titans....
            UK Wildcats......

              Brskins, I completely agree that one game should not dictate the My Players future. I also agree with Lanc that the overall pre draft process is tedious and crucial to real life draftees, and should be to My Players.

                Draft Combine and Summer League was better it was more life like. The rookie game is fine but I mean 1 game to determine your carer is one of them WTF 2K moments. I think 2K only focuses on it more than what they did in 2K11 is because the Rookie Showcase gets you to the NBA quicker than going through the Draft Combine and Summer League.

                  A Rookie Showcase does not exist and I never liked this idea from the beginning. Subtract Rookie Showcase and add Training Camp and it would be cool.

                    OMG those were so freaking boring. I have to play 5 stupid games with a bunch of scrubs infront of a dead crowd with a horrible 2k soundtrack playing ? No thanks

                    I love the Rookie showcase.

                      It made my first NBA game meaingful though. Felt more like I earned it rather than an inevitability.

                        I think we should have the real Draft Combine!
                        Every process in it and we shouldn't have scrimmages there should just be those 2-2 drills and then the only time we should scrimmage is when a teams has interest in your player.
                        We should all have a lottery projection in the draft and we can either build it up in the Draft Combine or we could drop ..
                        I know we are having Summer League I think the only reason we didn't have it last year is because of the lockout ..
                        Dk why they didn't patch it in the arena and everything is still in the game

                          Totally agree with this point, and 2k can adhere to this casual mentality by simple making all the events casuals find tedious optional.

                          Most people who posted want back the immersion and realism that came with 2k10 and 11.

                            you guys don't know yet if theres something before the rookie showcase. remember ronnie had a 78 overral when he got drafted. you might have to go through somethings THEN get sent to showcase. im just guessing

                              That's what I was thinking. Cause his stats on 2K12 accumulated a 62 overall, he had slightly better stats and jumped to a 78. I think the Combine is in. I would've said Summer League is in but that's supposed to take place after the draft.
