NBA 2K14: No Multi-Team Control in MyGM, Some Features Not Moving Over

Re: NBA 2K14: No Multi-Team Control in MyGM, Some Features Not Moving Over

Slightly disappointed by this....... I usually only play with one team in association mode but I always select a 2nd team so I'm able to at least do the trades that happen during the season. I live with the crazy rotations (although I have lowered ratings in the past to make sure guys like Manu or Crawford still come off the bench) but I turn CPU trades off at least for the first year.

Is it enough to stop my purchase? Definitely not but I hope all the nonsense from previous years is fixed.

i rather have a complete, balanced, streamlined game without all those unnecessary extras. what ive read so far sounds great. cant wait to see it in motion/use.

Oh, I don't know, maybe because the current gen iteration of Association was introduced in 2k9 they didn't fix the logic in 2k10, 2k11, 2k12, 2k13, or 2k14 CG?

Again, I don't think you quite understand how horrible the logic is. It goews beyond just a couple random trades. It's been well documented in the roster sub-forum.

Also the Mehmet Okur signing you mentioned is exactly the type of signing we do want. Lol. That's not the problem.

You have to have that (Okur) in the game. Im sorry, but that is realistic. There are alot of teams with horrible GMs. Shouldnt that be expressed?

[TheRealHST]

The CPU would be amazing if it made "real mistakes". Sadly, they are different kind of mistakes, like not being able to handle sixth men properly, or make signings that make sense to what they are trying to accomplish for the following season.

But some real life teams, really dont know how to do this either.

No, no. I mean the Okur signing is the exact kind of overpaid signing which happens in real life and SHOULD be in the game. In 2k teams never overpay a player.

If you honestly think the game's historically bad A.I. tries to mimics real life mistakes then I suggest you read many of the "Insights" 2K devs have written in the past. They detail and explain how those errors are actually bad A.I which was being worked on to get fixed, little by little. They have been improved since 2K9, but sadly not enough.

Re: NBA 2K14: No Multi-Team Control in MyGM, Some Features Not Moving Over

by unnecessary extras, i mean the things that takes away from the games brilliance. i'm not too worried about the things that didn't make it cause they always can be added in.

[TheRealHST]

Using football as an example, look at what the Minnesota are doing with all those damn QBs? Tampa Bay trading Josh Freeman after 4 games? Cleveland trading Richardson?.... If some of you saw this in Madden what would you think? Shouldnt a videogame , that we want to have realism, be able to express trades, releases and signing that dont make sense? Just because you or I look at these transactions and dont like them doesnt mean they dont happen. GMs are human and humans do stupid things on a whim. If reality, taking control of all the teams and doing what you think would happen is unrealistic

Re: NBA 2K14: No Multi-Team Control in MyGM, Some Features Not Moving Over

Your statement is flawed and off based. First off Alex lost his job to Kap when Kap played much better and was a more talented player they could open up the offense with. 2nd Kap was drafted to originally take his anyway, just so happen that Smith played decent enough to keep the job and Kap was a rookie. 3rd they traded Alex Smith for 2 2nd round draft picks. Which is the equivalent of mid to late 1st rounders in the NBA if you need a point of reference. 4th, Smith was a game manager and it could be argued that he held them back seeing that they made the Superbowl when Kap played the 2nd half of the year as the starter.

If you want to argue against the complaints of the association please have to have played it and went deep and saw the issues.

How do you know they didnt fix it? Why do you all panic so fast? lol And lets not act like real life teams dont horrible trades and signing. Happens every year, for example the Jazz giving Mehmet Okur a huge contract like he was one of the greatest players of all time, These things happen...so should it not be expressed in the game? lol... Every trade isnt some perfect masterpiece in real life so why should it be in the game? The 49ers let go of Alex Smith after he took the team to a Championship game for a 3rd string QB from Cal?....Would that have made sense in Madden if you saw it? Would that be horrible logic?...These things do happen

From the 2K11 Association Insight. From the words of SimBaller

"Over the past few years, we have implemented some very successful features in NBA.com, Player Roles, Player Ambitions, Player Morale, Player Personalities, and so on. I feel like these additions have defined the 2K Association experience. Moving forward, I would like The Association to be defined by something completely different, and that’s the smartest AI of any franchise mode across all sports titles.

To achieve this goal, the main focus for us this year has been to completely re-write the underlying logic that drives the mode, along with adding new systems that will help the AI to make the smartest decisions possible at all times. Every time the CPU makes a move, they are making it for a very precise reason. It may not be completely evident to you at first as they often think two, three, even four steps ahead, but they are always thinking, always assessing. They have brains this year folks; here is how we did it…"

Do you pay attention to football or no? Cleveland traded Trent for a 1st rd pick b/c the team was struggling and went into a different direction, Josh Freeman has sucked for the last season and a half. This would be like Thomas Robinson getting traded to Houston because he isn't helping the bad team and they just decided to salvage the pick or how Memphis finally gave up on Thabeet b/c they realized that he would never even be a qtr of the player they thought he was.

What's happening in 2k is the total opposite. The CPU would consistently make trades they don't make roster sense for each, like K Love and Budinger for Iguodola and Koufos. Made 0 sense for either team and is pretty lopsided as well. CP3 signing with the Cavs every single off season. We can go on.

Re: NBA 2K14: No Multi-Team Control in MyGM, Some Features Not Moving Over

Every year they say they have fixed logic but the same stupid stuff happens.

[Dr. Banner]

Who cares?.... That's the way I look at it. I'm a one team association guy

Same here....but a lot aren't, so sucks for them.

[Dr. Banner]

This was a dealbreaker for me sadly .

Offline Association/season with friends is all I really do.

I'm sorry man, hope they change that for you guys who play multiple teams next year.

[Dr. Banner]

Damn was so excited to play an association with my bro on next gen.

Heart breaker

Maybe next year

Sorry man.
