I think 2K will just be enforcing attribute caps. Hopefully its like what EA had planned where there were global caps for there online crew like mode for Elite 11.

just to clarify, does the 'NBA 2K13 TEAM UP' involve co-op 2k13. Not just online but also just playing 2 player my player mode at home with your mate? This should really be included in the game, it would bring a whole new aspect to the game. Pleaaasseee pleaaassee make this so!!

'involve co-op my player mode*'

Then you didn't play competitive 3 on 3. A ball handler, scorer, and big. This is the basics.

Which is why REAL 3on3 was PG - SG/SF - PF/C...

You will have to make one for offline and one for online. The online players can be played normally, but you need to connected to update him.

Virtual Currency. Check the FAQ think it's in there, or I'll add it.

More or less like skill points.

If I'm not mistaken, you may be able to do both/either.

# 71 TUSS11 @ 09/19/12 01:48 AM

Why in the world is it 3-on-3? Did we even ask for that? Once again 2K thinking they know what we want.

I was already planning on making a 6'9 sg and now since hearing about the 3vs3, I'm definitely going to do that! =)

No. That defeats the purpose of storing online. It's like, again, WoW. Any events that change your player are done with validation to the server. Yes, you play your normal game, but you keep a connection to the validating server. If you lose that connection, the server will not let you keep your changes. If your player becomes different, then the server says, piss off, it's all on your end now. But that player can't be played online after that. So any MP you see online will have to have gotten him legitimately within the rules of the game. Considering there have been some tall SFs in the league in the past, a 7 ft SF isn't THAT much of a stretch. He would be slow though...

Wrong. I didn't like it because of the hackers and people playing like monkeys. No REAL basketball going on at all. And let's not forget the basic online cheesers.

What happens if I want to create multiple players? Can the servers accommodate that?

It's called a compromise.

I wouldn't know that. I would like to think so. But I'll assume only one Online MP for now.
