Is it me or does Ellis look kind of big for a 6'4 205 guard?

No way....

IMDB profile (Says Press Conference in NBA 2K11)

Twitter (His description says that he's a voice actor)

Check the top comments on the video.

A tweet and pic from him suggesting his association with 2K:

Re: NBA 2K14: Opening Scene Of Next-Gen MyCAREER

Yet another tweet about 2K strongly suggesting he works with staff there:

The level of #hustle and #workethic I'm seeing from cast and crew at #2KSports is ridiculous #inspired #humbled and #hungry

NBA 2K14: Opening Scene Of Next-Gen MyCAREER

Does anyone know if the commentators will say the player's name (if selected from the list)? As in 2k13 they would only say the nick-name.

It is possible. Actually it was 2K12, but I had them say "David Robinson,"

Looking at the Draft names for PC via Leftos' Audio editor, I've found there's 2187 files ranging from "Coleman" to "White" (very first name to very last) using Sterns and Slivers Voice, 2 per name.

Only thing black about this picture is the black and white effect

That's Chris Mannings face in the game. (LD2K)

I was hoping to see a actual created player that we're going to have options of smh

It would be possible to change the voice by pitch even if its pre recorded. A simple algorithm in the game using sound editing capabilities. Please look into this 2K. In Tiger Woods Pga Tour you could change the pitch of your voice. I think that would please a lot of people.

LOL I like making MyPlayer from overseas! It's even WORSE! I know its next gen if they can't provide different voices I would rather have MyPlayer as mute....I don't mind reading what he says....just as long I don't have to hear him....

Last thing they should do if they did put it as a option

Going especially into next gen subtitles should never be the main thing

So is CAP going to be like madden in that you pick from pre rendered faces? Can't say I'm a big fan of that as many rookies may look the same.

Re: NBA 2K14: Opening Scene Of Next-Gen MyCAREER

In my opinion it looked like one of those really cheesy PG sports movies.

I had the same reaction and regrettably I admit I'm not feeling it. I understand I shall be in the minority and I'm certain I'd still give the mode a shot (and likely enjoy it) if I were to buy the game, but I've never been a fan of the recent fantasy-pre-determined storyline angle MyPlayer has morphed into the past few years.

Again, I understand the movie script feel is right in the wheelhouse of many folks here, but for me I've found a bit of ambiguity can go a long way toward immersing myself in the mode. As in, I think in many respects it was better to imagine what my player was thinking (things I'd be thinking in real life) instead of hearing scripted dialogue by a weird voice in a weird manner saying things I'd never say (ex: "This is my story and I ain't gonna let nobody write it but me").

I just kind of prefer the feel I had in the original MyPlayer modes, where it felt like it was the real NBA with one different variable (yourself). Now, it kind of gives off a soap opera vibe.
