Pretty damn stupid that rookies won't be in the game.

Only bad thing is, this will make me miss the NBA that much more.

I went with my friends last night and picked it up at midnight. This game is phenomenal. There are so many improvements to the core gameplay. I'm so glad that 2K actually puts an effort into their game unlike EA's Madden. It's so nice getting something other than updated rosters and lighting effects.

^ Agreed. The gameplay has taken a much better direction this year. The new post play will take time getting use to, but it's so much fun playing games. Did like 4 games on pro, all went down to nearly the last play or overtime (I don't suck). Once lockout ends I expect this game to get even better with the addition of rosters and rookies.

Yeah, rookies are horrible in My Player. You do your Rookie showcase with generated rookies, then you do the draft with generated rookies. Then the generated rookies that were drafted, aren't even put in the rosters. Wound up with all of 3 rookies (including me) for the 2011-2012 NBA season. (it's a damn easy rookie of the year)
On the note of My Player, i think I'll put what's going on in mine here.
Started the game with Marcus Washington. Did the rookie showcase and talked to the Utah Jazz, the New Orleans Hornets, and the Charlotte Bobcats. Wound up getting drafted 9th to the Bobcats. Played in games, yadda yadda. Hit the "play next key game" button and skipped a month ahead, went against the Hornets. We beat them. Next game was against the Nets. I decided that, since my player is a 3pt specialist, I was going to try and break Kobe Bryant's 3pt record during this game. Set the entire game to 12 minute quarters, and ball hogged the crap out of it. Got 20 3pt shots in the end. Kept playing, more things happened.
Wound up being the scoring leader, along with rookie of the year. Bobcats made it to the playoffs and they first had to face the Celtics. Went into the first game and wound up being a very close game. I was leading in scoring on my team. Final 10 seconds I was with the ball and we were behind 3 points. Sank the 3 pointer with 0.9 seconds left to spare, tying up the game. It's now overtime, the idiot coaches decide to bench their top scoring player for the entire overtime, and we lost.
Pretty much the same thing happened on game 2, except it was during the third quarter. Made the final shot of the third quarter, time ran out mid play for the Celtics. We were ahead by 2. 4th quarter, let's bench him again. Lost the game again. I raged and pressed to play the next key game, now we're down 1-3.

Yeah I plan to wait to do My Player once the lockout hopefully ends.

I dislike this game. It feels unfinished and the only fixed the graphics to make it look more polished. Feels the gameplay isn't 100% done and there are a TON of stuff they should of/need to fix.

I love it. I haven't bought an NBA game in a few years, so the shooting is taking me a bit to get used to. I was drafted by the Knicks with the 17th pick in the draft, which is good for me being a Knicks fan.
4 games in, averaging 15 pts a game right now.

Only way is to have the guy come up near the key then back down into the post. Along with that shooting was iffy last year but is even worse this year. You can hit green on the shot feedback, and be well within the range of a player and it will still clank off. Overall not that good imo.

Oh I know, but when on All-Pro (or the equivalent of it) You shoot like 30% and can't get in the paint, it makes it seem ing dumb.

It'll take time to get used to it. Usually when I first start playing each 2k I can't do much except shoot (case at the moment), once you get used to the style you start to get better. Post game is very ing deep, which is a plus and a minus.

A lot of people sound mad because they aren't able to score easily. It's not an arcade game.

If you honestly think they haven't improved ANYTHING gameplay wise, you haven't played this game enough.

But dribbling, shooting and passing esp. seem like crap. The defense is improved, AI is a bit better (they still jump at every pump fake though) and it plays smoother. I do get tired of those ing cheesers online though. Only can play with Rose, Heat, Durant, Melo, or another 90+ rated guy. I won 2 in a row then lost #3 to a ing douchebag who scored 30 something with Durant though I had it set to always double team him, play tight always and Gerald Wallace as the defender.
