NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

[rtkiii]

wow this is deep....i don;t know if my brain can handle this - Interesting idea though. They need depth like this in mycareer - RPG Basketball if you will.

it makes me sad I cannot afford a next gen console... wish they could have brought this to PC

I. Just. Want. To Play. Basketball.


I just want to run a Bucks Association. I don't wanna worry about my standing with an Owner, or how happy/unhappy the fans are, or none of that extra stuff. Why can't I just play multiple years with my team?

So play 2k current gen and have a coke and a smile geez now back to my regular scheduled geek out GET UM 2K!!!!!!!!

I felt this way at first too, but i'm glad they still allow us to edit draft classes. but we can only edit other players "outside" of My GM, because Eric Boenisch wants us to have a "controlled experience" with his new My GM mode. I get that they want users to really play this mode, however, they are forcing us to play it by taking away FULL FREEDOM to edit player tendencies and ratings "IN' My GM. Why do that? I like to play up to almost 25 years into Association(Now My GM) mode. PLUS, after 4 or 5 seasons in My GM, current NBA stars like Lebron and Wade and many other great players on the game get old and retire. I want to be able to create future stars and superstars in draft classes, and edit them AFTER THE DRAFT when they sign with a team so that the competition level still keeps me intrigued and there is always great future role players, stars, and superstars to compete against. Lets say I create three 20 year old, 73 rated prospects to have a potential of 84. But since we cant edit their attributes and tendencies AFTER the draft is over, what if their shot tendency is 30 and foul tendency is 80? What if I forget to edit those tendencies BEFORE they get drafted? Sure, they will develop but it wont show in their play(when I compete against the draft class players I edited before the draft) and it won't show in their numbers in the league(stats). Taking away the ability to edit ALL players on other teams "IN" MyGM mode was a mistake by Eric Boenisch. I don't necessarily NEED 30 team control. In the current Gen 2k14, 13, you could go to the trade screen and still conduct trades for other teams WITHOUT actually controlling those franchises, however, I still want the option to control ALL 30 teams. Gamers need freedom.

We can only hope that we get those things back next year.

Co-Sign on this post! This is what I've been trying to emphasize for the long in here. The game is worthless to me without customization.

It would also be great to have a create-a-uniform feature in MyGM so occasionally you can change up the look of the team, or even the colors altogether. This happens all the time in the NBA. Jerseys now look distinctly different from the 90's (for some teams at least), which looked distinctly different from the 80's, 70's, and so on. This way we could replicate what the NBA does every 10 years or so.

I find the, I just want to play basketball, comments hilarious.

People cry and moan that Association mode was never touched, then they do something revolutionary, and people want a bare bones boring, no challenge mode.

This isn't revolutionary this same **** is in madden 12. Picking your coaches direction, players becoming coaches, upgrading your coach with xp, if a once in a life player comes out in the draft the team with the higher picks ask for more. all this **** was in madden.

Nice try troll.

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

Let me make this clear:

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

Can you just coach or even better watch and evaluate how your coach and players are performing?

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

Saw this diary and had to come comment. I had no intentions on purchasing a new gen system because I rarely use my current gen XBOX, but this game - this mode, seems like a game changer. I'll be picking up the PS4 hopefully before the yr is out.

Look at the name. Now look at the join date. Now look at the name, now back at the join date. Sadly he isn't a legit poster.

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

as someone who is a die-hard fan of one team (the spurs) who never plays with anyone else, this new mode will actually get me to play as another team, just to try to build them differently with different strengths and weaknesses than my team.
