I would much prefer an option of having the freedom to take a franchise in a direction I see fit over a number of seasons.

Then honestly this mode probably won't be for you. Some owners, like the Lakers have a big impact on the direction you take the franchise.

Adds a great sense of realism, but for the guys who want complete control they won't like it.

I don't really think it'll go either way. I think it works out pretty much how you would expect. He wants to win at all cost and money isn't important in the fact that he'll throw it the team to win. Most owners with this type of mindset understand that the more you're winning, the more money you're going to get anyway. As the saying goes, "gotta spend money to make money."

And regarding owners like the one shown in the Lakers screenshot, will that mean anyone choosing the Lakers as their Association team will have to stick to a "Win at all times" plan or risk getting fired very quickly? Will there be freedom to tear a team down as one sees fit?

I would assume in the beginning you'll be held to that standard, but as you progress in the mode you'll be given leash to do as you please. If you get hired for the job and the first thing you do as a new GM is ignore your owners' mandate about winning to tear the team down and rebuild as you see fit, then yeah, you'll probably get fired and rightfully so lol. If you're a lazy worker and you start at a job that has like a 90 day window that they can fire you without question, then you're not going to get to work day one and start slacking off haha.

This Eric Boenish seriously wanted to be in the Nba as a kid. I suggest him to make MyEricboenish mode to merge all the MyStuff into one separate experience. Thanks

Yes, I suppose that is what it comes down to. I would like control of my franchise I am controlling.

I'm guessing Beluba's gonna be the owner of the Bulls.

I understand peoples excitement but I'm pretty skeptical. When they overhauled association a few years ago and told us about the ai thinking ahead, improvements in trading, rebuilding, going for rings ect. none of it worked. Over the years there were more bugs added to association. I know they said my gm was built from the ground up but they left us hanging for years in regards to association.

Also something else that has me skeptical. The screen shot of the simmed season league standings looks exactly like current generation league standings. To many teams record close to 500. Not enough 50 win teams. I know injuries may play a part but this is something we have been dealing with for years. I don't wanna be surprised and have to deal with it on next generation for years.

Maybe they fixed everything idk. If you've been a pissed off association player for years you can understand where I'm coming from. I pray player editing is still in for sim stats. Sim stats are definitely not one of sports games strong points.
