Association mode.

CPU vs. CPU gameplay. Will not buy another 2k title without this restored.

- Footplanting, contact between players and AI behavior in offense and defense needs to be improved.
- Online Association with sliders, custom length quarters, open schedules, and all the max. admin options is a must for a lot of non-casual players.
- IMO, the whole gameplay needs to be refactored, at least in a mode for sim users: the user has to run some kind of plays or strategy in offense and defense in order to be succesful. Playing a basketball game like a chicken without head has to be punished/not rewarded . So, in every offensive/defensive possession make available to the user by default in the gui the options to run a play/defense in some kind of way, etc, "a la" madden - more or less -. Playing off vs def needs to be/feel like a chess match - introduction of minigames in the execution of the plays in off/def would help in this (how to make/defend the pick and roll while is being executed, etc) -. It is the future of basketball games,

• Bring back Association as a separate mode from MyGM

• Tone down VC. Obviously, VC is here to stay, but at least take it out of offline modes. I understand having it in MyTEAM, but you shouldn’t need to use it in modes like MyCAREER or MyGM.

• Fix the damn gameplay. This is the most important thing, and the biggest problem in 2K14. If 2K15 had realistic basketball with proper rebounding, better AI, fixed passing and no zig-zag cheese, it would go a long way.

• The servers are terrible, and have been terrible for years. I’ve never played a game with such **** servers. Fix it 2K.

• Free Agency logic needs to be fixed. If I’m the 76ers, I shouldn’t be able to sign guys like LeBron, Melo or Kobe. Most of the time, they end up signing for small market teams that they’d never sign for in real-life and it’s annoying.

• Last but not least, listen to the community. For years, people have asked for the return of My Crew (not the watered-down crap we got with Crews), and yet we keep getting these modes that we don’t ask for or care for like The Park, MyGM replacing The Association, Crews etc.

Bring back the old association mode, while keeping MY GM separate.

Old association mode gave us an option for turning off "Computer trading", this prevented extremely weird scenarios from occurring, hint: it kept the NBA 2k experience REALISTIC.

We had more user controlled teams, the most was 8, but eventually NBA 2k last gen gave us full 30 team control. This kept everything real, rotations, signings, trades etc.

Also, would it hurt to have a tournament mode? Maybe a playoff mode for nba teams and tournament mode for European teams? With more than ONE user controlled team lol

Go back and check out NBA live 10's dynamic season mode.

This is from ESPN.com

ESPN: Why spend more time developing Dynamic Season mode as opposed to upgrading the game's Dynasty mode? Is there more demand from gamers to play along with the real season as opposed to creating their own season from scratch?

Garreth Reeder: Last year, Dynamic DNA was a big feature for us with all of the daily rosters and stats, but people told us, while they loved getting all of the updates and all of the changes, they didn't have any way to actually play with it other than a Play Now game or a Quick game. We had a lot of guys saying that they wished EA could merge Dynasty mode with DNA and the daily roster updates. So from the beginning of the year, we had a real desire to deliver a mode that really ties you into what's happening every day in the real NBA season. We're really looking at it as something for the fan of "NBA Live" who is just such a big fan of the NBA that following the games, following their favorite teams in real life isn't enough. This mode gives them a way to play along with real life and change what they want to change with the season.


This actually put a user controlled team in a REAL nba season. Everything that happened in reality, happened around you. If Kevin Love grabbed 30 rebounds, you would see it in you're season. However, you were given user control to control your teams destiny! Real trades occurred, real injuries, real STATS, real standings. It was amazing...

NBA 2k last gen tried this, however the mode was need UP to date, you'd have to quit and start a new one to be up to date everytime... Which is whack.

I quote myself because I really think that this is the way basketball games, from a sim perspective, should be played: in every possession, you are given an array of options of plays to execute, always - basketball has to be played executing plays, from the most simple ones to the most complex plays -.
When a play is executing, you choose what variant of that play is executed in real time, not by passing the ball to one certaing player nor waiting certain time to make they play change as it is implemented nowadays, but by pressing a certain button (pressing A you choose to execute it one way, pressing B another, etc.). It would be beautiful - less space occupied in the playbook, and the execution of the play would be more dynamic -. Also, the other user would choose how to defend it depending of what buttons he press, all in real time.

For example, you would have, from a play, different executions from pressing one button or another.

Please FIX DIRECTIONAL(???) Passing!
I'm tired of pointing my joystick to a player to the left of me and hitting pass, and my player throwing the ball in front of me to a player surrounded by 4 opponents smh.
Funny, that this only occurs when doing it to a player thats wide open or something.
Let the player I'm passing to be back court, and of course, it would pass to him each and every time perfectly as I asked(not knowing he was still behind the line, or it looking like he actually did cross the line)



Another thing that pisses me off.
this invisible wall for out of bounds, either keep the wall there, or take it away. Don't SOMETIMES, make it so a player runs into a brick wall when catching a pass or just trying to move around, yet sometimes allow a player to walk/run out of bounds
