Ray Allen was given a 91 three-point rating, while Richard Jefferson was given a 90. But did he shoot that poorly from anywhere else to earn a 57 mid range jump shot rating? Matthews fully earned his 87 three-point rating by shooting 41.4 percent from downtown last season. Whether it was giving LeBron James an 80 Offensive Clutch rating, which we all know he doesn't deserve, or dropping the Black Mamba's mid range jump shot rating to a 78 (blasphemy considering that they gave the Sacramento Kings' Eugene 'Pooh' Jeter a 94 mid range and Dirk Nowitzki a 99), the ratings are all mixed-up.Ī prime example of a ratings mishap is Wesley Matthews of the Portland Trail Blazers. But it seems as though whoever they gave the ratings job to just pressed a randomize button and kept it pushing. I could go on and on forever about the different upgrades they made to the My Player mode, but how about you just run to your local GameStop and grab a copy for yourself?įirst off, the fact that there are no rookies in the game at all, which probably has something to do with that lockout that's in place, is very unsettling. You can also choose to defer to another player's jump shot form, but until you stack up enough money to buy it, you're out of luck. With a myriad of different release points and base jumps, the possibilities are endless.

Instead they replaced it, along with a few other skill sets, with the abilities tab, where you must pay an egregious amount of hard earned skill points to upgrade certain aspects of your game.Īnd arguably the best thing they added to My Player mode (wait, should I ruin it?) is the all-new Create-a-Jumpshot tab. There's also the option to skip to your next key game rather than play all 82 games.Īdditionally, 2K added extra endorsements (JACKPOT!) to the season, and they completely removed the Ball Handling attribute. While I don't want to spoil the fun for those who haven't gotten the game yet, this year's My Player mode features an annual salary with which you must buy skill sets, layup/dunk packages and more it also features more in depth drills including Around the World, Fast Break, Full Court Press and the popular childhood game, Knockout (just to name a few).

2K Sports did everything you could ask for and more to totally reshape the My Player mode from past years.
