NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Details on Gameplay, AI, New Modes and more!

I truly hope they didn't screw up association mode, I know you guys complain about it being the same every year, but I for one, loved association mode, just needed a couple layers added to it, not completely change it.

Confirmed for next gen already by Beluba.

Would you happen to know where he said this or what it was he said exactly? Somehow I missed that confirmation. Was he confirming all teams carrying over? Or just that like, MJ would be there?

You DO NOT have to play MyCareer. We have been forced to create a MyPlayer for the last few years. The Avatar you create during the first play of the game is your MyPlayer. MyPlayer and MyCareer are two separate things. MyGM will make the avatar you create(your MyPlayer) the GM of a team. You will not be a player unless you play MyCareer.

Which is still kind of BS since, as someone said before, your GM will look a 19 year old NBA prospect if you play MyCareer too.

so now we can have a GM with a green tomahawk and dressed like a clown? Great, I couldn't ask for more.

That was the other big omission from my end. Again, there was a lot of greatness revealed today and that's pretty cool, but a lack of classics would also be a real bummer.

It would be disappointing, but given they don't have the ability to do head scans/capture the classic players the drop in graphic fidelity between today's NBA and the Legends could be a little too jarring to make sense to try to incorporate in the game. And I could picture people complaining more about that than having an understanding that some things are physically impossible to do. Either way, no one should be leaping to conclusions regardless.

Everything sounds absolutely amazing but I pray to the heavens that there is a season mode in the game. It seems like association is no more.

But that's the only negative. I'd assume plenty of guys who use Association picture themselves as the GM anyway, why not make it so? Another thing would be full control, as in 30 Controlled Teams. Albert is looking into that.

He confirmed that "legends would be present in next gen"

Yep, I was thinking about that aspect when I learned of the head scans as well. And you're right, no need to jump to conclusions at this point, but I surely would have preferred to hear something about classics than to not hear something. I'm hoping there's a way for 2K to include faces they're not able to physically scan firsthand.

I really liked hearing about the Emotion+, the different arena lighting, wing spans and coaching adjustments. Would have liked to hear more about gameplay though especially player tendencies.

I have no interest in My Player or Crew modes.

Still waiting on any footage to be shown.

I don't remember his exact words, but he said that classic teams are in basically. It didn't sound like there would be any subtractions.

All I took away from this was:

"..No warmup outfit for bench players.."

Disappointment!

Ahem, still waiting to hear from all those people who guaranteed it would just be a port with minimal improvements and bare game modes.

Are we allowed to say I told you so to them yet? This is about to be the longest 22 days of waiting I have ever experienced.

looks like the game will be great, but they're screwing the crew fans over again, so i won't be buying it. all this work into my player, that's cool, but at the end of the day, we still gotta play against the computer. that's not any fun.

At this point what I REALLLLY want to know is, can me and my friend use different teams in this mygm mode?

We loved to use two teams on franchise mode.
