NBA 2K14 - MyGM: Staff Badges and Finances (Next-Gen)

03:02 PM - November 7, 2013 by Steve_OS

In NBA 2K14’s MyGM mode, we’ve completely re-designed team Staff and how they interact with the game. Staff members at each position can have up to 3 Staff Badges; these are the staff equivalents of Signature Skills. Be careful though, Staff can also have negative Staff Badges that may put your team at risk. Putting together a staff that fits the makeup of your roster is critical in building a championship roster.

In NBA 2K14’s MyGM mode, keeping your adoring fans happy will become multi-faceted as you now need to ensure they aren’t feeling too light in the pockets. You will have full control over EVERY aspect of your team’s financial situation, right down to setting the prices for various gameday income (tickets, hot dogs, souvenirs, parking, and much more). Maintaining the happiness of the fans and your Owner is a very delicate balance…

This is shaping up to be association mode I've been waiting for for years. I'm still waiting for a write up or dev insight or something that has more information than a screen shot. I want to know what they've done for all the "under-the-hood" aspects of the mode like player development, ai for other GMs etc.

I'm guessing they're like signature skills for GMs. Certain badges awards a GM with certain bonuses or abilities.

I really find it amazing nothing has been really mentioned about offseason, draft, scouting...Has anything even been said about presentation?

Looks cool, have seen people for awhile say they would like to be able to change prices of food, drinks and such. Never was really a big deal to me but I am intrigued by it. With all this income to the franchise and running the franchise i'm hoping that dynamic crowds are in. Team going through bad times, not winning I want to see a few more empty seats. Doesn't have to be record lows but I want a difference in a struggling team and a team on their way to the playoffs.

Surprised it took 5 pages for someone to express their desire for dynamic crowds. If you're going to introduce concession pricing and owner morale, that should go hand-in-hand with what kind of crowd you draw on a nightly basis.

And I agree with what others have said regarding the ability to promote assistant coaches and for assistant coaches on expiring contracts to be entered in a pool of coaches that may be hired both as an assistant or a head coach (for any team).

I'd also love to hear anything about the draft and free agent bidding. Those are incredibly important pieces to any franchise mode.

Glad to see Association mode getting a makeover, wish I could afford a PS4 now. The only thing I dont like is not being able to control all 30 teams to make sure stupid things dont happen, hopefully 30 team control will get added back in next yr, which is when I will most likely be able to afford a PS4. Atleast they are making a effort towards the Association, should have been done long ago, cause I would say its still the top mode in any sports game.

I've been saying for days that fan interest in all the screens we've been seeing probably has to do with dynamic attendance

According to Erick ala SimBaller we are suppose to get a write up about this mode tomorrow.

And I hope the stupid coach will smarten up, while you're playing great and few seconds remaining, you must be playing and not be pulled out. WHile in a blowout game, all other starter are being rested on bench and you're still on court.

Also, hopefully in NG it will not be easy to be a starter.

yea....doing two modes (granting that MyCareer is a much improved mode as compared to CG, see above comment

) at the same time...that would be cool

Never knew GM's managed the prices of food and drinks.
Surely guys like Pat Riley or Mitch Kupchak could care less about food/drink prices. Aren't these handled by the 'business-side' executives? (correct me if I'm wrong). I just feel its an unnecessary add-on and I sure hope it doesn't play a major role in terms of the budget, i.e., owners not willing to spend extra $$$ on luxury tax because of poor food sales, etc.

I believe it should be geared more towards a GM fulfilling 'basketball-related' activities. The owner should be more concerned of the sales and profits if you know what I mean. Now its like 2K14 Tycoon ...

Nonetheless, the more the better

That's the point. To turn a profit AND win. If the team is winning you can charge more meaning more profit, meaning more leeway with the owner, also you can become owner in this mode.

looks like a great feature.

lol F for D'antoni on defense. That's accurate, I just find it funny

Yeah, hopefully there's an option to automate that kind of stuff because I couldn't care less about how much hot dogs cost. Everything else looks right up my alley though.

Once again, options my man. The more the merrier.

Really does seem like owner's mode which I've been begging for some mode similar to it in 2k.

You should play a different game, then. NG is all about ice cream and soda. No basketball.
