I like my Bulls but my reaction is completely the opposite when they pick me

Well, if anything, this proves that the minimum MyCareer rookie contract in this game is 500 VC. Which means I should tank the interviews of anyone I don't want to play for, since it won't make a difference from #6 or so on down anyway.

Then again, everyone's VC/SP salary in this game translates to about 500 per year, even Kobe. All the more reason to pick and choose your teams.

It might also be proof that you cannot slip to the second round--this is probably partly due to Adam Silver, the deputy commish who announces round-2 picks in real drafts, not doing any voice work for this game.

Thanks for the vid, man.

I actually got drafted 30th with my Penny Hardaway recreation. I put up 22/9/5 with a B-...weird thing too, I got interviews with the Raptors, and Golden State who were picking 7th and 8th. Completely botched the interviews, but I didn't expect to fall that far. Has anyone ever got drafted in the second round?

I've tried three times. My worst game: I had a F teammate greade with 6 fouls three turnovers and no points steals or assists in 4 minutes and tanked the interviews and got still got tpicked by GS.

You can also kill the rookie showcase and go late 1st in the draft.
I did one offline my career with those 25 rated rosters just to see how good I can do.Got like 40/15/15 as a Center with A+ grade.
I got interviewed by New Orleans,Washington and Charlotte.I told all of them I didn't want them and dropped all the way to 22 by the Celtics.
Amazing how you can free fall by just telling the teams you don't want to go there.

It's realistic though...imagine irl if rookies were telling teams he just didn't want to player there. I'm sure GMs and scouts would be worried about his attitude coming into the league.

Really? People still don't know this?

Yeah, I didn't know because I went where I wanted to go on the 1st try... after that I didn't think about it! LOL.

Great video man....loved the reaction..

Just a little advice: turn your background music down a little in the beginning segment...

It's amazing how prophetic this system was.

I mean, look what happened with Royce White and his mental illness.

I really wanted to root for that man after my Rockets drafted him #16...but ever since then, he's done nothing but shoot himself in the foot. And the shins. And the kneecaps. And the femurs.

Hopefully he makes it to his balls soon.
