More have been added, and there's even more of a strategic balance now between offensive, defensive and general abilities. The added diversity of special attributes available is also a welcome addition. I've never been much of a play caller, but this change makes it quick and easy. Another good change is the quick play ability by holding left-bumper. It also seems like passes thrown are not as easily picked off by the AI (as opposed to previous years where any opponent within 10 feet had a good chance of getting the steal or deflection). if I go for a bad block attempt and land on top of my assigned man, I'm going to get called for it rather than sliding in next to him. I've found contact is called for a foul more realistically, i.e. Player movement seems more fluid and smoother. Some of the updates to the in-game mechanics are good. This review focuses on the aspect I play. I played through the Jordan challenges in 2k11, but put far more time into My Player than it took for me to complete Jordan's games. I do not consider the unique modes to be the best or most compelling aspects of the 2k series. I am not a fan of Lebron, and I will not be playing this year's new Lebron-centric mode. I specifically play the 2k series for the My Player/Career experience. On the other, I don't feel like I've gotten the value of a new game that cost $60 tax and feels like NBA 2k13+ rather than NBA 2k14. On the one hand, I'm always happy to have the updated rosters and rookies. I am not a fan of Lebron, and I will I have mixed feelings about this year's release in the NBA 2k series.
