NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot featuring Conversation Engine

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

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.

No no. I meant people are saying that your statement is complaining. I agree with you 100%. This mode should be an improvement not a subtraction to things that make a franchise mode entertaining to everyone in individual ways

Lol this is a video game, everything is fake. But I do agree with you on the 30 team control although probably not for the same reasons. I just want to be able to play it with my friends, being able to compete with them, trying to keep our jobs, persuading their players to join my team come offseason, even negotiating with them. That would be awsome.

And plus they said they have a season mode so you won't have to do this if you don't want.

The assumptions people are making off of this one screen are kind of absurd. Assuming it is not "in-depth" because of one screen showing one question asked is a bit premature IMO.

I love the direction this series is going with MyGM and hope that it is good enough to make me love playing offline again other than My player.

I feel for the 30-team users, but to be honest, that is a niche feature, that I would assume most people don't care for. Don't be scared of change. This might be the greatest feature 2k has ever added for all we know. If it sucks, it sucks and that's fine too. People will rebel against it and they'll bring back a more traditional Association.

Let's see how this plays out.

I don't understand some of you. You have been begging for information about the Next-Gen version of this game and now that it is finally here, there is nothing but complaining about what was provided.

Personally, I am excited about what is coming up! With the new systems, I can't wait to see what happens in the coming years.

[BigDaneAyMane]

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.

I dunno man. Someone who is making their next-gen purchase based on one game would seem to making a hasty decision anyways.

Current-gen sales definitely affect the news we receive. How many people that own current-gen systems will be getting XB1/PS4 right at launch? I doubt even 10%. Many of us want next gen, but can't afford it right at launch. They have to play both sides right now.

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

For me personally, I have seen enough even from the 2 minute gameplay clip to buy this game. It is my most anticipated title and I am excited as hell for MyGM and the new MyPlayer.

Everything else is just icing on the cake for me at this point.

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

I'm really excited for this mode. Association has become extremely repetitive with no real additions in the last few years. I know the trade/team building logic has been a big complaint and it's bothered me too but honestly I find it hard to criticize logic in an nba game when so many ridiculous things happen in the real nba (Min drafting 3 PG's in the first round in the same year and missing on steph curry, houston stacking up on undersized PF's for no apparent reason, OKC trading Harden instead of using the amnesty on Perkins etc.). I'm hoping this mode is a big step in adding context to all those cpu moves that seem to make no sense on the surface.

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

What if I don't want to trade for a draft pick? What if I actually just like my team the way they are in real life? My biggest concern is this....Are we going to be forced to play the way they want us to? I certainly don't want to be told what I am supposed to do as a GM, but if I fail their predetermined goals, then I lose trust...Hmm...

If an NBA GM told his owner "Well what if I don't want to do this? I don't want to be told what to do, I'm gonna do things my way"...

You'd be fired.

Current Gen game has already been released. Nobody cares about the current gen game anymore in terms of news. Now the people who might be on the fence about whether or not to commit to next gen want good next gen information to come out so they can make their decision. I'm buying Next Gen right away pretty much for 1 game and that's NBA 2k. I'm also going to switch from COD to Battlefield but it's not like i'm going out and buying a bunch of next gen games. I can afford it and I no longer want to settle for current gen when there's something superior out there.

Looks interesting. My only question right now is this: is there only a "benefit" to giving a positive response? What if, say, I wanted to be tough, or not necessarily "player-friendly" in some situations. Is giving a negative response ONLY going to produce negative effects? Can I take a stance on something with the possibility that it turns out to be a good decision later on in my career?

But MyGM seems interesting. I just wish we were getting videos diving into these things, versus screenshots. I don't want to end up having to wander into the unknown, not knowing what to expect.

[banksboy87]

No matter what anybody says, this will probably end up being the mode I've always wanted. True basketball nerds will love this mode. I do agree they should have regular association for the unimaginative.

Re: NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot

In all fairness I hope this mode grows next year. I'm disappointed that 2K has dropped the ball on the D-League and really implementing the Euroleague into this mode and Association. And Summer League my goodness what about summer league?! This mode could have many layers to it with adding real GM's and owners of teams as options for people to control all of basketball operations.

How about hiring a coaching staff or moving your assistant coach to the head coaching gig? How about hiring a training staff that could help a injury prone player?

So many things that this mode can do and so much control that people could have with this thing. The possibilities are endless. If you give people options.

This. 10char
