smh

I'm saddened that Association has been removed. Been a hobby of mine since I was 10. smh. Really disappointed 2k. I hate connected careers on Madden and this sounds exactly the same. sickens me.

It has not been removed, you just can't play with every team this year.

So if you just played with one team, then your good to go.

Association mode is My Gm, it's an expanded version of Association.

Once again, Association is not dead, or gone, or scrapped etc.. they just changed the name.

No custom music & no multi team association/season/etc is a disappointment. Hopefully its just a 1 year thing and they'll be back next year. Custom music should be standard on all next gen games.

I agree with that, Custom music should be in.

Just cause they didn't show something yesterday doesn't mean it's not in the game... They didn't show online and we all know that's gonna be in... Relax people

So is it impossible to mimick a real NBA Season as far as team rosters are concerned?? Can I turn off CPU trades??

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

The possible reason why they removed something is to put it in the future with some improvements.... thats marketing strategy.... they know that if they put some new features and some old features will still be there, what do we think we can get in the near future NBA 2K. for me its a good thing to think that when association will come back it will improve drastically...

I agree with you on this one man..while I hate it you have to think that this is great marketing strategy by 2k to maximize the profit for both versions of the game. They needed to make the next gen version totally different feature and graphical wise to separate it from current gym. Part of that was adding new features that people may or may not like while removing features that were mainstays in the current gen. Unfortunately association mode and season mode as well as custom music was taken out essentially making it exclusive to the current gen version only. The next gen is completely different graphic wise and they know a lot people want it just based on that. So in essence if you want full association mode and control you have to keep or purchase the current gen version. If you want eye candy with a limited feature set the you have to purchase the next gen version. I guarantee there will be a bunch of people who will own both versions because of this. This move will ensure that dedicated gamers will pay 120 for the game rather than the 60 for just one version. I know I was planning on trading my current gen in for a next gen version but I wan t my association, seaspn and playoff mode as well as custom music so I will hang on to it and buy the next gen as well. As next gen becomes mainstream and more people have it they will start phasing out the current gen and gradually add all the feature sets back into current gen this process will take two years as they will have to give gamers a reason to purchase current gen next year.

I can't wait.

Never been a big MyPlayer guy, but I am going to make someone with random settings, and have random choices throughout my career, and see what happens, throughout MyGM career as well.

I feel bad for the association guys, but like I said in another thread (for me) it was feeling a little stale. I hope they put something DLC together or blow out association mode next year to make it fresh.

Will there still be online leagues? That's all we play!!!

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

I always really liked the "RPG" elements of MyPlayer but I never really dug playing with just one player.

MyGM sounds right up my alley.....I'm excited

[wallofhate]

I'm gonna apologize in advance for my ignorance but I haven't had Madden in years so how does the my gm goes? If I can basically have a season I'm good but if I can't have a season and the cpu controls everything that's bad. I don't understand why the couldn't have that and just have a one year season also if they didn't wanna invest in the association anymore.

[Gramps91]

We just don't have the actual GM's to choose from. If I'm correct it's your myplayer acting as GM? But nothing has been said that you will have a locked player during MyGM Mode.

I certainly hope it's not player locked. I never play exhibition as I find it boring so really I'll be playing no one but my created player. I like MyPlayer and everything but I don't want to play locked as him all the time.

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

I was really excited by the videos but after reading this I'm not getting this year's game. I don't want to play MyGM mode, it sounds corny to me. I want to manage the rosters and play the games. Convincing DeMarcus Cousins not to request a trade doesn't sound fun to me.

PC Version for meeeeeeee......

You will be able to put aspects of the mode on Auto and only deal with that if you'd like.

Basically you want to be the GM AND play games but don't want to be a REAL GM and make real GM decisions ? Lol you don't want a simulation stick with PC version bro

Its not player locked, your MyPlayer becomes the GM that's it, you still play your games (as the whole team), sim games if wanted, etc... just like Assoc mode, but just from a GM viewpoint now, which can be set to Auto and you don't have to worry about it.
