With 13 days left before the release, videos keep popping up about the game. In this video James Harden is a mentor to 10 day contract signee and talks to him about (of all things) DEFENSE!!!! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/59EwskApRoI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
They literally take a picture of a player's face using a variety of simultaneous camera angles to achieve both texture accuracy and head shape accuracy. As a result player faces look great, on the downside you can automatically tell which players were not headscanned or headscanned correctly.
Harden just wants you to play all the defense. Really can't wait to play this one, although I wonder what happens when players inevitably move around.
Don't think this needs a new thread, so just posting this here, but Harden's going to be on Late Night with Seth Meyers tonight for those interested.
Harden is talking about defense because your MyPlayer is going to have to play defense for him too! I wonder what happens if your mentor is traded away? What if I'm on the Celtics and Rondo is the mentor and he gets traded? If there's only one mentor per team, it could get a little glitchy. I'm pretty excited for 2k15 MyPlayer! It looks amazing so far, so realistic with actual coaching and mentors. I like the story too; not getting drafted and having to fight for 10 day contracts and dealing with free agency. 2k14 just got too boring real fast, especially on next gen.
It looks like they dramatically improved MyPlayer in 2015. Hey maybe you can actually become a free agent now?
