What does that mean? Blue Angels doing a fly-over or do they mean like aerial shots of the stadiums at the start of the game?

Hopefully it starts outside the stadium in aerial view and takes you inside the stadium and pans around. Could be really nice to set the tone of the start of the game.

Can't wait to play online franchise.

Everything sounds kosher but this sounds a little overkill.

Just imagine the sick patterns they could do with the grass, if the grass is really detailed it would only make the patterns look that much better. Grass is actually an important component of the game.

The Universal Currency ("Stubs") isn't required to advance through modes, only helps if you want it! Whew, this is great news!

[*]Online Franchise (PS3 & PS4) – Finally, Franchise mode can be shared with friends online, with most of the features from the offline version making the transition, including Scouting, the Amateur Draft, Free Agency and CPU Trades. The mode will remain highly customizable as scheduling, divisions, postseason spots and more are all commissioner options.

Interested to hear what features DIDN'T make the transition.

Yeah, I was wondering that too because I was actually planning on starting an online franchise with a buddy, and then once my friend inevitably gives up on it, I was going to just continue the online franchise by myself. In other words, I don't want to have to play 2 different franchises.

EDIT: Unless him and I do a fantasy draft I guess. That could be fun and at least change things up.

In online leagues last year you could turn a human controlled team into a CPU controlled team if they quit. I would think/hope the same thing could be done in online franchise.

Technically VC isn't required to advance through modes in NBA 2K14...

I'm hoping they aren't being misleading with this line, but it wouldn't be the first time that a company used vagueness to temporarily dispel concern over something.

Hopefully stubs will be used to buy experience points that can be earned through regular play (in regards to RTTS) as opposed to the 2K model where you use VC for everything (forcing you to slowly accumulate it through play or purchase it).

The distinction may not seem like much but by making VC the currency for which everything is purchased they have to limit the ease at which it is earned because then it would affect the money-earning possibilities for certain modes, but this directly hurts the ability to progress in non-money making modes.

My question is do they know what day in May and are keeping that a secret for now? Or do they currently not know when in May?

I'm interested in the Quick Counts feature, I played the crap out of this game on Vita because I could do so while watching TV, but did not do as much on the PS3 because of the time factor. I mainly focused on RTTS on the console (quicker games even as a Pitcher), and franchise on my Vita. How are they going to speed the games up?

Nem, do you know if there are more patterns of grass this year? Especially with relastic looking and acting (physics) grass this year.

Yeah, I wasn't wondering about that part, I was wondering how similar the features in Online Franchise are vs. offline Franchise. Like what things would I miss out on if I did an Online Franchise by myself versus doing a regular offline Franchise by myself.

That's a good point, as long as VC is not the only way to do certain things I am fine with it. Like adjusting rotations or lineups

Since the wording apparently wasn't sufficient enough let me make this crystal. The inclusion of Stubs (Universal Currency) has in no way shaped our modes or how we approach development. From the very first discussions of Add-ons in The Show (years ago), the inclusion has never steered the development or the evolution of our game modes.

We are consolidating individual buys into a Universal Currency (Stubs) so users, who choose to invest in Add-on content, can buy general amounts of currency and spend it in any mode (not having to choose where to invest). As always, Add-ons are a way of accelerating and buy time, of sorts. They have been latched onto modes, not even remotely integral to them. Not one red cent needs to be spent on Add-ons for users to enjoy a full experience in any of our modes! If you didn't spend a dime of real money last year you won't have to spend one this year.

What’s more, Stubs are earned through general gameplay (similar to X), tied to your Universal Profile. And we honestly believe the rate that Stubs are earned allow for sufficient currency to accelerate any mode you chose to play in.
