Same here I turned it off. Also when I try and turn injuries off in assoc. and I save it doesn't always actually save. Then we I reboot the game injuries are ON. Idk if this is a glitch either. I tried to turn them off for a few months bc I thought injuries were too rampant.

This happens with all kinds of settings, I had to turn shot feedback on several times

So are people playing Association with the messed up coach profiles on 2K's roster?

In the head coach pool? Nope, still generics. Same with assistant coaches. And you still can't promote any of the assistant coaches to head coach.

Dang, I was hoping we were able to promote assistant coaches finally thi syear. It something that has been ask for for quite a while now yet the devs continue to ignore it. It cant be that dang hard to make that possible, if it is then why dont they just say so rather than just continuing to ignore people who have ask for this. Same with some of the yearly glitches that have been in that mode for a while now, fo they cant fix it just say so and be upfront about it. Id have much more respect for them if they were honest and upfront.

What the hell? I have started a new season in Association Mode, but it has carried over the win-loss records from the 2012-2013 season! So the Heat beat the Bulls on opening night and are 67-16! Anyone else had this happen?

Yeah it's caused by the game reading the user choosing "today" rather than "beginning of season".. When you choose "today", the game reverts to last season's records as this season hasn't started

Does anyone have an explanation to the fact that skills randomly climb and sink un-endingly? I had Curry's 3pt skill drop to a 80, steal to a 60... then Iguodala had his 3pt skill climb to 99 and hold there for years.

This makes no sense and feels like it's inhibiting player development and regression...

Any info on how signature skills are added/removed from players as the years progress? I just started an association and was curious how feasible it is for a guy like Nerlens Noel to get the defensive anchor skill after a couple years.

I'm having the same problem. Really curious why this is happening, if it's happening to others, and if there are any fixes. It's not random attributes that go down either it's usually the players bread and butter. As the Pistons Andre Drummond's rebounding was in the 70's, Jennings' 3pt was at 58 at one point, and Josh Smith's block was at 41.

I've written some long-winded responses here lately basically echoing these sentiments. I haven't written off 2K, but I certainly have a lot more questions about their direction lately than I've had at any other point within the last 12 years.

Just shooting from the hip, but sometimes I wonder if one of the repercussions of Live's recent failure is the former divide between what some believed Live represented (slightly arcade) and what 2K represented (simulation and realism) has melded together to create one big supergiant of a game that's trying to meet all needs from all corners, perhaps shunning certain aspects as a result.

It's just like what happened with Madden when EA got exclusive rights. The best Madden games were made when they had to worry about people buying NFL 2k or whatever else was out there. Now 2k has the monopoly on the basketball games. Until Live or another franchise emerges 2k will have zero reason to improve the franchise...because people are going to buy it anyway when it's the only choice they have. Both EA and 2k should seriously be sued for this. Class action style.

It's good that Potential no longer increases year to year-- that makes no sense. But shouldn't it decrease over time as players improve, get older, and settle into what they're going to be?

gotta give 2k another year to fix that obvious problem.
What I want is for better face modelling in draft class/ created players.

Hell no..I'm using Nogster's rosters with is settings. I made changes to the total sim settings for each team on my own. I think most people who pay some kind of attention to the NBA can make those changes...It does make a difference.

sorry this question may be repetitive from other others but just saw this one is for association mode and that's the only mode I really play and I play as classic teams and ones I create during the off season

Can you export teams and customize conferences/divisions?

Thanks if you can answer this.

Yep you still can customize teams and such

Re: NBA 2k14 Association Mode: The Good, the bad and the ugly (A more in depth look)

Hi guys,

Anybody find a way to change rotations of other team in association, and keep them as they are when replaying with his own team. I don't want to play with a 30 teams control, too hard and it will kill him.

I need your advices please, and thank you

Sorry for my english, Iam french
