    Anybody miss the 1st iteration of the MyPlayer Mode?

    Remember when 2k first introduced myPlayer? It was really cool, since you really had to WORK your way up the Career ladder. I think i got sent down to the D-League twice, and that meant making an NBA roster was such a great feeling!

    I hate how things are too easy right now... I wish they'd give us the option for a slower MyPlayer mode as well, i really loved playing with nobodies and only getting 5 mpg once i made it to the League.

    Anybody else here want that back? Can we start a petition?

        Yeah, i remember i got sent to the Mad Ants, which was awesome. Haha. Those were really fun. Now, its like "play well a couple games, overtake a stud veteran for starter duties"... Really ruins d mode for me...

          No I really don't miss the game breaking clone glitch. And then there were terrible substitution patterns and the fact that you had to play EVERY game.

            I loved this! It was a bit tedious playing summer league games and practices but you really had to fight to get into the nba. If you didn't play well you'd have to play in the d league. When you made it to the nba it made it feel like you had achieved something.

                Yeah the entire process was awesome. Playing 4-5 games in Summer Circuit just to try and get drafted by a team, then the draft, and then Trainin Camp, the 3-4 full game scrimmage practices. Those were the 40 Overall days hahaha. The one thing I will always dislike about myplayer is how fast it takes to become a great player, the progression rate is absolutely terrible, 2K11 it seemed like it took me about a season to go from 66 to 93.... not even Jeremy Lin got that kind I love during his breakout last season.

                  It felt more like an NBA experience back than .. I loved the D-league games , it was a way to get better and show everyone how you improved to get back to the NBA .. 2k should make the next myplayer like that .

                      Should give you the option to start on different career paths, high draft, mid draft, undrated. Madden actually got that right

                        good times i remember when i tried to take every single shot i could lol. i learned the hard way and got sent to the dleague. what i dont understand is why in 2k10 if you were sent there any team that wanted you would have while in 2k11 whoever sent you there would get you back. but so far 2k10 still the best because of how you got there

                          I just mentioned this in another thread, but I definitely miss the first iteration in terms of its scope. It was hardly perfect though, as the requirement of playing every single game and Training Camp, Summer League, and the Combine basically being the same thing over and over but with different jerseys made things a bit monotonous. However, if 2K had continued expanding those portions of the mode, I really feel like they could have had something even more special than they do now.

                            Yes, I loved it. Training camp was in there too. Now the Dleague is not even in the game, much less in MyCareer mode. Is summer league still in the game??? I haven't played that mode as of yet.
