NBA 2K14: My GM Interview, Hands-On Impressions, More! (Next-Gen)

Re: NBA 2K14: My GM Interview, Hands-On Impressions, More! (Next-Gen)

I find it hilarious that so many people complained about a stale Association Mode, then when it was changed and made more realistic...people want it back to the way it was.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding a lot of people complaining. I don't think they want the exact same association, but options to turn some things off like owner firing, being able to override trades they don't think is realistic, edit players etc.

I mean they paid for the game, let them customize their association their liking. I think that's what's scaring a lot of people. I don't think most are mad because of the personalities you have to deal with, and all the other good stuff mentioned. I do agree we all need to check it out, but nothing wrong with addressing concerns based on the info we have now.

Actually some people are. Some are complaining that they dislike anything that feels like RPG or has "My" in it, and that they don't want to play a game with consequences outside of the actual basketball play.

For some reason, there really aren't many who say, "you know, this sounds really great, but I still need A, B, and C." The complaints are mostly formed like "I don't want 'My', I don't want 'Sims', and keep your RPG out of my basketball. Your new features are somehow destroying my game because in my mind they're completely incompatible to sim and customization for some reason. Give me back my stark spreadsheets."

There are varying shades to this, but that seems to be the thrust of many complaints.

Well, some people do just want the basic ole association mode. For those people, I just believe I heard the season mode let's you play more than 1 year so that would be perfect for them.

I want to play MyGM, but I just hope we are able to edit things. Don't take too much control from us. Just give us options 2K. I already lost Crew, I am hoping I will be able to enjoy Association, is what I am going to call it lol.

The amount of bitching in this thread is impressive. Especially when you consider no body that is currently bitching has played the mode yet or even knows all of the details.

I'm not going to call people names for complaining, however if I was a developer for this game and read some of these complaints. I don't know, I might be offended. Just consider the amount of work the 2k folks put into this franchise this year (current & next gen).

I think it's safe to say the next gen effort has gotten rave reviews so far. But here we are having a bitch fest about a mode must of us don't fully understand.

Now back to your previously scheduled melt down...

I always felt that 2k should do the RPG style like madden CCM and they finally did. It makes more sense to progress a player based off his performance on the court rather than waiting until the end of the season during training camp

Sundown, again, the reason some are apprehensive is because there has been no mention of the existing issues which plagued Association for years. MyGM could be great, but only if they have paid attention to the potential issues, logic issues, real coaches in staff pool issues, TSC issues etc. I guarantee the second 2k shows that these are finally fixed (which would eliminate the need for many to control more than one team), there will be a minuscule amount of complaining and a lot more praise for 2k.

I've always dreamed of being a Knick Gm, and this sounds right up my alley. I do have a ton of ?'s here are a few mostly focused on interaction with Kinect.

-When they say talk to the players, will we actually talk to them thru the Kinect?
-In the vid the dev. said you literally talk on the phone to other GM's about trades. Does the game use smartglass on your cellphone like Dead Rising 3?
-Will the game be able to scan you/likeness into the game thru Kinect like old Tiger Woods games?

They're still missing the ownership mode from Madden. I like that they're bringing back the RPG elements from 2k5, I've been begging for them to bring it back but we need full control.

[Rdub33]

I say this partly in jest but partly serious. I wonder if 2k is opening themselves up for lawsuits from the nbapa or players agents. Does having rights to an nba players likeness really give you the right to display their attitude, personality, reaction, demeanor? I mean maybe Cousins won't be so fond of seeing himself portrayed as the hot headed brat that he is? Perhaps Javelle mcGhee will take exception to the world seeing him as a talented dim wit. Lol I mean if I was in the game I would want some say so in how my likeness acts. It's one thing to get my jump shot wrong but my soul? Lol

Idk all I'm waiting to hear about is online options and continued balance with the gameplay? My gm my player my park my shoulders ....shrugging

Because the typical sports gamer doesn't like RPGs.

They play NBA, Madden and Call Of Duty and that's it...and of course GTA.

Am I the only gamer that will go from Skyrim, to NBA2k14, to Battlefield, to Mass Effect, to NHL 14 over the course of a gaming spree?

I'm 31 now and I only play RpG open world games , shooters like BF4, waiting on witcher 3.... This My Gm mode is exactly what I want.. If you know 2k like I know 2k I have been playing since DreamCast.. 2k will let you customize the roster before you take it into my Gm mode , so, do all of your changes before you take the teams in the mode... Look I believe we have a lot of Nba Live converters that play Nba 2k because the pessimistic tone and dialogue has changed on OS over the years , Visual Concepts is the most attention to detail studio in sports, stop whining they got this .... None of these comments are constructive (You Can Give Your Own Opinions , but not your Own Facts) Please Stop ... Ea Sports mis leads there consumers Visual Concepts deliver what they present . Now on Next Gen you idiots realize that it is a whole new system with 8gb of memory right ? The 360 and Ps4 are working with under a 800mb ... They have a lot more memory to polish the basic things , they took a safe approach when they upgraded to the 360, they have learned a lesson, so, now they're bringing innovative things to next gen, creativity is what's needed with next gen, more open world , more gameplay mechanics, not the same stale systems that other companies try to shove down your throat year after year .. This is not the same 1990 madden engine with better graphics , this is not an All Streaks play from the 1990 play book , this is Visual Concepts the masters in animation .....

Re: NBA 2K14—My GM News, Exclusive Interview with Senior Producer Erick Boenisch

If this expands to a full 30 team control system then it will be the best Franchise Mode I've seen. All the things I heard were good. Sounded like CCM on steroids. Man I want to experience this controlling all the teams. Seeing the backlash and praise on both sides of deals and rotations.

Adding a D-League to this would make it that much more realistic.

I have always wanted to have something like what CH had with coaching, where you can get fired or moved on to a better team. As long as were able to still have control of all 30 teams like Association mode so we can stop stupid things from happening and follow real life trades then I like this Idea of MyGM in Association. But if its like MYPlayer then it dont interest me at all and I wont be happy with not having a Association mode like it is now on current gen.

[minelevation]

People complain just because they can complain, technology does as much damage as it does good...Microsoft took the family share plan away because people were complaining about not being able to share games the old fashion way, casual Nba 2k players complain about the learning curve, so they dumb down the online experience for people like myself , I consider myself to be a sim player , who wants the added experience of a My GM mode, I want to control the stadium, the parking, the half time show performances , lobbying to build a new stadium ,or moving my team to Alaska , I want it all,.. I would like progressive players from game to game like NFL Fever , I want progressive fans at the stadium, these are the things I want to see in Next Gen.. With that being said Visual Concepts and 2k if your listening please disregard all of these whiners who don't want change , please do not stop pushing the envelope , especially with all the resources on Next Gen systems... I'm also interested in the matchmaking system that is on the Xbox 1 , if this is implemented right, this year or next version of 2k I can select my opponents based off reputation , this will be good news for online play.. I salute Visual Concepts, I never have any complaints you guys do a great job , thank you for all the years of great gameplay
