Re: Why is 2k continuing to ignore Association Mode?

Erick Boenisch stopped by to give us some details on Association and Online Association mode for NBA 2K13!
Offline Association:

• New NBA.com interface (the landing screen for the mode), information such as league leaders, injuries, standings are VERY accessible now.
• Total Sim Control
• New CBA rules
• ‘Start Today’ feature
• All-Star Weekend integration (if All-Star DLC is installed)
• Revamped Team Building logic
• All-new lineup/rotation logic
• Improved trading logic
• Other smaller fixes (improved draft generation, etc.)
• Bug fixes! (based on community feedback from last year)

i will be on SERIOUS association patrol for the highlighted... no idea how important this is IF it is actually accurate.

A bit more information other than bullet points would have been nice.

Re: Why is 2k continuing to ignore Association Mode?

When bug fixes becomes a "feature" worthy of a mention in a developer insight, after 3(?) console patches last year, you know they screwed the pooch last year. At least they're acknowledging it, and that's pretty much what I've been asking for.

Wasn't expecting to see "bug fixes" mentioned, but I really hope they're true to their word, and that Association will finally be a fun mode to play out of the box.

Improved trading logic is a new feature every year. Sorry but nothing has been touched in association mode. Thanks for the information.

Re: Why is 2k continuing to ignore Association Mode?

An association blog is out -- LD2k just posted it on Twitter. Not really an insight though -- just whats been added.

Don't blame me - can't get the Dev's away from working on the game

Also, I did mention it would be a bullet point breakdown as opposed to an in-depth writeup. Hope you guys enjoy these little tidbits none the less.

Check a few posts above Jerzey, already talking about it. As well as on the other 3-4 threads that popped up at the same moment as my reply. :P

I'm very thankful if most of these updates work the mode as a whole will be a MUCH better experience
