Once you finish the Rookie Showcase, you jump into a cool new feature called Pre-Draft Interviews. You'll be evaluated on your stats, your teammate grade, and generally how well you play against the other top picks.

It's an eight minute quarter game, and you'll get your shot to show what you can do, playing about 75-percent of the time unless you get in foul trouble. This is a game where all of the players from your draft class play in the same game and how you perform on the court will influence your draft stock. So this year, after creating your character, gamers will play what is called the Rookie Showcase.

Due to the NBA lockout, no rookies will be included in the video game 'NBA 2K12.' If/when the lockout ends, an online roster update will put everybody into the lineup, but for now, the only number one picks that are going to end up on virtual courts are going to be the ones created by gamers in 2K's popular My Player mode.įor those who haven't experienced My Player, the single-player experience enables you to create your own baller, customize his look from the afro to the bald dome, workout at pre-draft competitions against other top prospects, then embark on a journey from no-name bench warmer to full-fledged NBA superstar.
