The most glaring issue with this game, however; is MyGm mode taking The Associations place. This has been talked about a lot already, so I'll make it quick. I'm not a HUGE basketball fan, or basketball video game fan. I do keep up with the sport and watch big games, and have enjoyed jumping into NBA 2k a lot the past several years. I like running lots of Associations and taking them to the offseason to sign FAs, or starting one midseason and playing a few games or the entire season from there. MyGM is way too much of a hassle to do this.

I also do not understand who came up with the menus for this game. They are terrible. They look unappealing and don't make much sense, even after figuring out how to use them.

The last thing I'm disappointed in (and only slightly) is the actual gameplay. I believe they have a new engine or something?? Either way, the game plays pretty well, I just don't think it matches current gen gameplay. The disappointment in the gameplay may change after playing it enough and getting used to it, but we'll see.

All in all, I like FIFA and Madden better than NBA 2k14 right now on next gen. I just don't know why they would change so much about their game when it was already a leader in the sports games industry
You can play one season without having to do all of the GM stuff. After you select MyGM, to can use L1 or R1 to "tab" over and it will just say season. Basically is is the "Association" mode. All of the MyGM stuff is not there. I am running a season like that now. The menus are funky, but far far far from a deal killer. I would be much more upset if 2K had "mailed it in" and up-resed like Madden and COD. They basically built a next ten game which I appreciate a lot.

I am glad they took the approach they did and left out a few things and tried new stuff because that is what makes 2K different from other companies that mail it in every year... New next gen system, new next gen ideas.
