Re: What do you want added to Association mode in 2K14?

Well the suggestions so far have been the main key points that I've been expressing for the past 2 years now.

-NBA D League, you want to assume they took out of this years game in order to possibly have a full year to look at it and fix it from an editing standpoint and a realistic standpoint like being able to somehow download the actual roster once maybe twice a month cause of the constant player movement in the d-league. I'd settle for once the d-league has its draft that 2K implement the teams then and those are the realistic d-league rosters from the d-leagues opening night or right after the draft, the implementation of new players on a daily basis we could not expect 2K to do that, it would be impossible, so I'd suggest creating a good number of generic CAPS to edit yourselves for each user in Association mode in order to not have to restart over.

-Coaches, Assistant Coaches need to be overhauled. Remove one of the scouts and replace it with another assistant coach slot. I'd rather have the option of 2 assistant coaches plus a head coach and then a massive coaches free agent pool consisting of head/assistant/2nd assistant coaches that have been in the league at one time or another that aren't officially retired going back possibly maybe 3-5 years.

-Player roles, here are two ways to fix it (1) you remove it from the game since the roles are especially from the bench players are inaccurate and should be described differently or (2) keep the player roles as is, but remove the minutes generalization from the roles, in other words don't tell us that starters expect to play 32+ minutes or whatever it is. Bench roles need to be defined in greater detail. You have Sixth man which is self explanatory, but when you say role player you should have different options for them, such as role player (energizer) for a player who comes off the bench with energy, to hype his team and or the crowd up or role player (defensive specialist) for a player who comes off the bench with an aggressive defensive toughness about it and is put on the opponents hottest player or best player. Role players are defined by certain types, not generalized. Do not make prospects count as role players, basically using my formula just explained you are defining a role player by calling him a prospect, that's unfair and leaves us with limited options in the game as it stands. Stars should be given to those players with a rating of a possibly 94 and higher, at least a number to off set them from a regular player. Going back to prospects they should be given to 1st round draft picks and optional to second round picks if signed to a long term deal. Bench Warmers should be regulated to possibly players who are in slots 10-15 on a teams roster. Maybe another way to solve this issue is to place the player role in the order of the roster of a team, so for example numbers 1-5 are given the Starters role w/the option of being a star if rating meets requirement. Number 6 is reserved and given to the player as 6th man with numbers 7-10 being given to the role players (with a described ability). Only rookies or 2nd/3rd year players are allowed the Prospect role and if they are in the 11th or 12th slot they get bench warmer or prospect or role and slots 13-15 are of course inactive.
