NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

SimBaller made it abundantly clear in the Developer Diary that this is merely the first iteration of a great mode that's going to keep evolving like crazy for years to come. Can't wait for all of your feedback.

Leftos, some of the stuff sounds great, but hopefully you guys will allow us to turn some of the stuff in MyGM off in future iterations. It's always good to have options and it stops fans of the old Association mode from being alienated. Cause from the way things sound from reading all the info that is out on MyGM as of now, it sounds like we will be doing more (or even too much) behind-the-scenes/off-court stuff than actually playing the game of basketball. A lot seem to be okay with that, but some of us aren't. Not sure why The Association couldn't have stuck around as a mode with improvements to trading/signing A.I. logic, improved player rotations, improved draft classes, etc. and still had MyGM as a seperate mode for those who want a basketball version of Football Manager 2013. No disrespect, but MyGM sounds too deep and there are some of us that don't want to dabble in EVERY aspect of playing with a franchise and 2K guys saying the Season Mode is for us old Association fans is pretty much a slap to the face. Not sure how anyone can think that a Season Mode that only goes one year equates to the Association mode from the current-gen and previous installments.

Thanks for coming around and interacting with the community. It's appreciated.

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

This new gm mode sounds nice and deep but for those of us who simply want to play multiple seasons with our favourite team, will there be an option to turn off all these rpg elements?

That's a question I would like to have answered as well, but nobody on the official side of things has even mentioned it. I was hoping the MyGM Diary would have addressed it, but nope. At this point, I guess we will have to rely on the OS community to tell us once the PS4 releases.

I don't understand, if you only want to play the games and want none of the managing aspect (although I don't know why you wouldn't want that), aren't you able to just set the the tasks to be automated by the CPU as has been the case for Association in previous years? I'm pretty sure they have already stated that is possible.

Melbournelad, like I stated, some of the stuff sounds cool and I have no problem experimenting with some of the new aspects. But sometimes after a hard day of work, last thing I want to do is be in conversation trees and worrying about fans crying over my drinks being 50 cents more than the Bobcats prices lol. If it has been stated that we can have some of the tasks automated or turned off, I've missed it. And I've been reading pretty much every thread discussing MyGM thoroughly. I just think it would be nice to have the option(s). Not saying that I don't want to try MyGM mode out.

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

I really dont understand these people who says the game s**ks and evrything. 2k is giving us a great mode that is deeper than ever so we can have alot of fun and challenge while playing and they're not happy always complaining if you're not happy stick with current gen or try to create the game yourself! 2k is trying something new something for the future I think it would have been boring if ng 2k was a port of cg 2k but it isnt and I know there's alot of guys out here who can't wait to play on launch day including myself. All I got to say thx 2k for bringing thr nba game to another level.

No worries, I understand where you're coming from, I am just positive that I saw it stated in one of these threads by 2k that tasks can be set to CPU automated for those that want them to be.

Only a week to go, so we will find out. I got to have something to play on my PS4 besides Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, so NBA 2K14 will be probably get purchased lol.

Thanks for not being a d*ck like some of the other people here on OS are being just cause dudes have a different opinion or want to play a game differently than they do.

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

The fact that people are complaining about this being too deep blows my mind. It really shows the people that didn't want a sim association experience. Laugh worthy.

I'm not complaining, I would love to play this mode but I don't have the time so Ill will have to play other modes like MyCareer, Season, or The Park. Now if 2K would take a page from The Show, and implement the ability to carry over your MyGM and MyCareer to the next/new version of NBA 2K, would be a dream come true for me.

If you don't have time, absolutely nothing wrong with that. But you know you can delegate everything you don't want to do to your assistant GM? So you can just focus on playing the games and managing your team.

I fail to see how playing MyCareer, Season mode and The Park will somehow be less time consuming than playing MyGM.

Especially considering your first season in MyCareer has over 40 hours of gameplay in it.

I'm especially glad about the promises to have you earn VC with your profit margin when you own your franchise. I'm hoping the sums you can earn by pleasing your owner and staff are decent as well, VC has been nothing but a hindrance on the game so far. Maybe they can turn it around so you can earn decent VC without farming the saved games or waste your money for virtual coins in a full priced game (smh, never going to spend once cent for microtransactions in a game I already paid for in full).

Everything we've heard about the additions to the game modes seem great, now that we know online leagues are still in things are looking good. NBA2K has had a great on-court experience for years, but off it the game has been a bit lacking. This seems like a big step in the right direction.

Is it 2K or Apple Company? Very INNOVATIVE! *SLOW CLAP*

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

I Love everything I read in that write up

the thing I really loved was the Generational Player

Well there might 3 Legit Generational Players in the 2014 Created Draft Classes

Wiggins

But I wonder if its Random where they just Pick any player they want to be THAT Generational Player

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

Let me make this clear:

You can play or simulate your team's games in MyGM.

Let me apologize. I am so sorry you had to actually say that. I don't know what's wrong with people. They can't handle a good thing, apparently and need to tear it down.

Reminds me of that scene in that John Travolta movie Phenomenon
