NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

[KSurge]

All these improvements sound great! I am wondering if it is easier to trade for a core player if he has one year left on his contract.

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Firstly this quote caught my eye ''When teams are signing players in both in-season and offseason''...im guessing we can finally extend a players contract during the season? if so im happy enough
The team and roster building is a thing of genius to be honest the fact that spomething so simple could have such an impact on the game (in my opinion) is niiiiicccceee
The trading values, player logic and signing logic sound really really sweet man the fact that they have found a way to add more depth and realism to this part of the association is impressive to put it modestly, really can't wait to see what kind of trades ill be presented with during my run with the Hornets
Like the way that they seriously strengthened what was for me the weakest part of the offeseason (the draft) it sounds and looks great, and the added realism of drafty day trades is a nice quirk ;P
My favourite part of the whole insight though is the player finder (ala the Fifa series) and the trade finder (ala madden) jusssst wooow this will be an absolute godsend man can't wait to get stuck into it ;P
Lastly, loving the ''Intra-squad scrimmages'......
All in all i don't know if Jordan will see much action on my console, This years association has taken it to another level :;P

you could do that in 2k10

with this insight, my media blackout for 2k11 begins right now. i dont want to know any more until i have the game in my hands. cant wait until the midnight release october 5.

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

uh...am I just not getting this joke? Of course every team will be in the game. Why wouldn't they be?

So is that a yes?

Did Mike or another producer confirm this?

If so, I'm sold! Can't run this amazing franchise without all 27 teams.

LOL..I completely confused. Is this a really bad attempt at a joke? Of course the game will have every current team.

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Great insight 2k.. I definitely plan on running a season or two to get the full 2k11 experience.

Man I cannot believe how much work has been put into this game, its incredible.... It leaves for little to no excuses elsewhere

This might actually make me continue an Association beyond the playoffs.

I'm thinking he wants to know if there are 27 classic teams in the game to use?

Either that, or he doesn't know there are more than 27 teams currently in the NBA. Either way, i'm also confused

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

WOW ... I mean ... WOW ... ment ... WOW ... I am speachless ...

If I were rich I would probably buy 365 copies of 2k11, so I could take the plastic envelope and smell that "new aroma" one copy, each day, for 364 days until 2k12 ... the last copy would be placed in a sanctuary kind of shell ... and since I would be rich, I would hire the most highly rated team of security experts to keep it safe.

This is the first game that has 99% of my requests from a previous installment ... did I say ... WOW ?!

P.D.
Will have to go and quickly edit my post on the 09/30 2k11 Q & A thread, so I dont take the risk to sound like a stupid ignorant ...

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Re: NBA 2K11 Developer Insights: Association

Congrats on the added features to everyone that requested those things... i on the other hand am severely disappointed at no announcement of Online Association.

I hope there is some mention of it in the next insight. Its just such a huge omission. i mean truthfully you dont even have to implement a full blown association mode online, Just give us player development and progressive leagues. smh, the game looks great this year but after playing two years now in Madden's online franchise mode and NCAA's Online Dynasty mode, its really hard to go back to just regular one and done leagues :-/

Im not trying to hate or be one of those peoples that are never satisfied, they did great work on the game...but honestly this was just the biggest deal for me and it seems to not have been improved :-/
