Your title is misleading. Are you saying sliders need to go in Association? or they should function the same across the game?
Sliders are what makes NBA 2K what it is. Sliders are huge in the customization and hardcore gameplay community.

I am sorry...that's my fault. I mean for Online Association.

I mean they need to patch them in for Online Association.

Oh, I agree. I have always said this should be done.

def agree...overall there just needs to be more options for customization within online leagues.if the league is private,we should be able to implement any and all rules that we want and take anything out that we dont want, to our liking.what does it matter if its private and im playing with a bunch of my friends?let us edit our players fully,and basically do anything that we could do in offline association.i think this is the route they are going if im not mistaken.either way, 2k13 should come with everything plus the kitchen sink in the online department.thats more servers to support the demand,thats a more intuitive online interface,include every mode possible offline within the online,and finally introduce some new and improved online modes.
it is more than clear that gaming is going more and more online these days,and i personally wouldnt have it any other way.i love connecting with my friends and family members all over the world as if they were on the couch next to me playing golden eye on split screen back in the day,and i think we should move full steam ahead with everything online..and o yea back to the point, GET THOSE SLIDERS IN! lol
