NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

Seems cheap to create a style (especially for this mode) to give you an advantage in some part of the game. Once again, the game is holding the gamer's hand.

In Football Manager, they don't give you a style to choose. You decide how you want to manage and then the game tracks several stats out of 20, that measure your style. You have stats for financial responsibility, attitude to foreigners and temperament. These stats are useful when a club is considering you to be their new manager. Your reputation and experience can make players either respect you, or think you're not good enough to be managing the club, and all this can have an effect on the pitch.

You should have to learn how to manage people's emotions, not just choose psychologist and then it becomes easier to manage people's emotions. When Phil Jackson came into coaching, he didn't choose a box that said psychologist which just gave him special powers, he has a naturally cool temperament combined with a knowledge of psychology, and it took experience for him to get better at it.

This is disappointing.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

I wonder if these options will also allow us to relocate teams.

when i think of entrepreneurship i think of selling your team to an owner and then relocating your team elsewhere.

maybe I'm missing the point though.


I'm not sure why i desperately want this feature,

but the replay-ability would increase dramatically for me if they implemented this feature.

I want the vancouver grizzlies back. ):


bring seattle another team, maybe get rid of the LA clippers because they already have an LA team. (sorry clips fans, can't get to greedy)

or maybe open up for expansion.

endless possibilities. and with this GM mode, it makes even more in depth.

how will the players feel about moving a team they played for their entire career, to a different city? will fan support dip and the players start to veto the request to move the team? man...

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

I'm sure I missed this somewhere, but in MyGm mode, do you also play games as the entire team (like assoc mode now), or is this a MyPlayer/Assoc hybrid... ?

I'm pretty sure you can still play/sim your games freely, they just added more stuff like conversation engine and finance management. Wouldn't make sense for us not to be able to play games.

I wonder if there will be an option to turn the conversation engine off, or at least limit it? I personally wouldn't, but a lot of people have been complaining about just wanting to play games.

Really? Seems cheap? All it's doing is simulating the fact that some GMs are better than others in certain areas. Some guys are good at business decisions, others at finances, others at managing players.

What the hell is so cheap about giving us a way to differentiate and have a certain speciality that other GMs might not have?

I didn't know that everyone had to be the same with no special qualities and nothing to bring to their job.

re: VC in MyGM mode.

The other screenshots have shown projected profits in $$. You have to negotiate player contracts in $$. I am hopeful that your entire operation is something that can be controlled with budgets in fictional $$ earned through your management and not VC that can be purchased through microtransactions.

The style just makes it take less to upgrade that particular attribute. I'm guessing you can upgrade all of those attributes, but the style you choose will be easier to upgrade over one you didn't. Makes sense considering if I study one thing and become really great at it, it doesn't mean I'll be great at everything else as well. Also creates a dynamic of choosing a style you feel suits you best.

They've told us that if you don't want to do all that, you're free to just play the games and let the CPU handle all the micro managing

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

It's already been stated that these aren't for this crowd, but for the masses who lack a general knowledge of what modes are even in NG. Simballer said he'd try to cook something up by the end of the week that would satisfy the OS crowd.

Again, 2k tending to those who only know how to shoot the ball from half court..

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

This mode looks great but i'm tired of their screenshots
They will release My GM screenshots all this week , like there's nothing else to talk

Like i said yesterday,there's so much questions yet in 10 days until launch

how about online mode?
video of gameplay?
create a team?
create a player?
realmaker back?
Developer Insight video of My Career?
Developer Insight of defense ?
some infos about Euroleague players?
Some infos about legends ?

It's kinda weird to have a Next-gen Michael Jordan and don't use it to promote the game...

There has been no mention of VC anywhere in MyGM, and from my recollection, nowhere in NG have a seen a screen involving VC

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

I personally don't mind the screens or lack of info. Leaves more room for speculation, and adds a surprise factor when I finally get my hands on it. Maybe thats just a personal thing.

Yeah, to each their own. It's just, at this point, I'd much prefer knowledge over speculation. Also, surprises aren't always great. Sometimes they can be, "Surprise! MyGM is motored exclusively by VC!" or "Surprise! Classic teams are still here, but we never said how many classic teams! Good luck with the '98 Bulls and '85 Bucks!"

I know, I'm definitely sounding like a broken record at this point, but I sure miss the straight forward approach.

Hypothetical example:

Q: Will the Raptors have their dino-jerseys as alternates?
A: They will not.

That'd be bad news, but at least we'd know.

I'm praying that this is the case. VC would absolutely destroy this mode.

Well 2k has to have a bottom line otherwise there wouldn't be a game now would there?

Even the masses could care less about some screenshot that tells them absolutely nothing about the game. This screenshot marketing needs to go its the most ridiculous marketing I have ever seen leading up to a launch for a game. They should of planned and had detailed written insights by now like they used to have.

Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

All you guys expecting more than screenshots for this mode are going to be sorely disappointed. We're not gonna get a video on it, or a developer diary.

At the most what we're getting is a write up by Simballer (one of the leads on this mode). He said he would try to get us an article on it by the end of the week, but it's not guaranteed .
