Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

do they realize that all of this info and pics about things other than gameplay and videos are doing nothing but pissing loyal buyers off??? These things are doing way more harm than good...

Why do GMs have to satisfy their owners in the real life NBA? How do you think Lakers management worked for all those years?

And if you saw the screen and info, there are options to tell him to basically shove it and you're gonna do what you want. This adds an entirely new dimension to association mode and i'm so upset more of you "sim" guys aren't seeing it.

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

Thanks for the information (i did not read about this).
So you also know if should be possible to use custom roster (i.e. Bedwardsroy) ?
And i'm also afraid about the translation of the dialogue... We always have terrible translations in italian...

I don't see why we shouldn't be allowed to use custom rosters (custom but not hexed), but I guess we won't know for sure until november 15th.

And dealing with translations I have no idea because I always play the game in english. The Spanish Translation is quite awuful.

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

I'm with you. Very excited to see the potential of this mode if its handled properly and the GM AI across the league is good. My frustration is with the trickling and teasing of information rather than the direction that 2k seems to be headed.

That's pretty much what I was getting at, as well. It's not that I'm upset or being negative towards the game, I'm just beat down by the marketing at this point. I'm still excited, I just want to see more so that I can get more excited.

As for MyGm, like Gosens I think that this mode has the potential to be awesome. However, there's so many questions and unknowns that I'm starving for info. The only thing we know for sure right now is that we can't control every team like we could in the past and we have to make our owners happy.

Other than that, we don't know if past Association issues have been addressed (player morale problems, teams loading up at unnecessarily positions, trade logic, etc), or if thing like Custom Draft Classes and the real life draft order are in. These things are extremely important, especially since we can no longer control more than one team. Until we get some details I believe that a little skepticism is warranted. Again, not trying to be negative.... Just impatient.

I'm thinking it's a different creation process in the two modes.

Finally, someone else gets it lol. I know when people saw this screen they instantly got angry because of a lack of info, and no gameplay blah blah blah.

But taking the time to look at what's being presented, the possibilities with this are enormous. That HAS to excite any guy striving for realism.

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

wish alot of u ingrate's got warped back to the days of no internet and game info coming from 1 of 3 gaming mags, usually already a month old by the time they hit newstands.

smh, be surprised for a change. i actually find not knowing what next gen greatness im gonna unwrap on the 15th and/or 22nd refreshing

So much negativity. Goodness gracious, Assocation mode has FINALLY been improved and all you hear is crying. Nothing pleases you folks.

What are you talking about. Taking away 30 team control so I can sit at my fake owner's desk and have a fake conversation about our upcoming goals is improvement? To me it's a huge step back.

It seems that when you say that you are being negative. I don't see what is negative about saying something like this.

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

Still won't be worth playing unless they've improved the player development logic

[JerseySuave4]

My god people, just think for for 2 seconds before breaking out the whine. Why would 2k flood the market with next gen footage/info, when they are still trying to sell the current gen version as well. It's a business decision to try and make as much money out of current gen before next gen launches. Just relax, the info will come, just not as early as previous years.

that ship has sailed. Next Gen is a week away so they're no longer worried about hyping up current gen. If you aren't going to get Next Gen at this point then you already know what current gen is offering. But don't think that at this point they are holding back in hopes of generating a few extra current gen sales.

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

I'm actually very excited with this mode. I'm anxious to see how deep it is.

As far as the lack of info goes, I dont really care. It doesn't matter whether they give more info now, or next week. They give us more info, then what? You guy are gonna be whining for even more info. Can't satisfy some people.

Uh, no. It DOES matter.

For some people (and by some I mean probably a lot), how 2k14 looks, plays, etc. will determine where $500+ dollars goes. Especially on a site in which it's members value simulation, realistic, and straight-up gameplay. Trailers are nice, they get you hyped, but at some point, most people want to see the final product before they decide to drop money on it.

And satisfaction is subjective. So yeah, some are gonna have unrealistic ideas of what satisfies them. But I'm sure some, if not most, of the guys waiting anxiously for 2k (and next-gen sports gaming in general) are simply waiting to see straight up gameplay, so we know what we're getting into and what to expect.

It seems that when you say that you are being negative. I don't see what is negative about saying something like this.

It's a major negative for me. I would much rather have control over all 30 teams. If I want to make moves to replicate real life, I can. If I want to edit anybody in the game, I can. If I want to play as any team in the game, I can. To me that is much more important than sitting in front of my fake owner listening to him demand fake goals that may or may not fit with how I want to really run my team. If they want to have something like this whatever, but not at the expense of taking away control from the user. I hated when Madden did the same thing and they saw the backlash and got smart and changed it the next year to give control back. Hopefully 2k does the same thing.
