I've only got one thing to say to 2K

I would've liked him to highlight whether the commentary team has more My Player lines this year. I always felt My Player was a little meh in regards to commentary.

So far everything I've asked for they have included, I love these guys who work in 2k. I asked for fastbreak drill, knockout and around the world and its now in the game

Only thing left is the Nets moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn in association mode. I doubt they have this one but if they do I might scream like a little girl after meeting Bieber.

They really went in depth with the player abilities..

instead of having 1 attribute they went more in depth

Imagine how much this will be a factor on the regular players as well. Players like Durant and Melo will have much better pull up game than Lebron. Unlike on 2k11 where everybody was pull-up artists if they had a mid range game.

This also means more than likely the "shot low post" will be seperated into jump shots and hook shots just like I asked. Players like Zach Randolph and Tim Duncan will be more effective with hook shots, while players like Dirk & Carmelo will be better with fadeaways out of the post.


This is easily gonna go down as the best sports game ever.

Roster makers are going to have a field day with this game.

I can confidently say I'll invest more time in My Player this year than I did with 2k11.

so glad the combine and summer league is gone...

all the improvements sound fantastic...

This was a very well written insight. My Player appears much more accessible this year. I always liked the idea of having my own career, I just never had enough time to make my way through numerous 82 game seasons. The ability to simulate from key game to key game is relieving. Further, I am pleased to see new drills, as well as a Buzz reading. I'd often positively affect my team's chemistry last year, but I had trouble finding a section that'd tell me how good my team chemistry actually was.

Overall, I'm surely looking forward to this mode. It looks like a lot of fun. With specific "skills within a skill", as opposed to a general "ballhandling" rating, it seems I'll be able to more accurately create my NBA equivalent cyber-VDusen. I'm also happy to see the monotonous summer activities removed. Just a lot of good things happening here.

If you are disappointed after this, the best option for you would be to probably just stop following the game all together...

Really good insight. I especially like the activities, broken down player abilities, player buzz and I like the fact that they changed the press conference answer method.

Now there is no more "Should I answer [insert type of answer here] on every question to raise so and so" and there is no more clicking on Professional and having something sounding more indifferent or loyal come up.

Summer league/Combine were indeed pretty monotonous, happy to see them leave.

My Player has improved ALOT more from last year than 2k10 to 2k11. Good job 2k.

I think the CAPs look much better than last year. It may be only two, but they seem more believable to me.

I guess adding Legends did not affect 2k from making the best sports game ever.
