NBA 2K12 Video Interview with Chris Snyder - Online Association Confirmed

[ffaacc03]

WOW was a little scared that this rumor wasnt true, but now no more !

Now, if only we could have AI teams fill the spots not taken by humans when creating the online association and when they leave or get booted. Is an improvement, anyways tho.

i wonder how is online association gonna really work....

[BRxSKINSx]

Hopefully we will get some info explaining what this mode is really gonna be like....I hope we're able to run an online association with me and my friends....so we won't have to deal with guys we don't know who just end up quitting....I hope this mode is done right....

I wonder if the updates they make (player models, hairstyles, etc) through NBA TODAY will also affect your own current Association.

Let's say that they decide to make Big Baby's player model even more wider in NBA TODAY, will it also affect Big Baby in our Association? I hope so...

I don't want to be a killjoy but I am a realist and a good listener ...there are two reasons why I know online association won't have CPU teams..... 1. In the video Chris almost says 20 some teams and quickly catches him self to say 29,.. Almost as if to not get accused of perjury. 2. Because no sport game has ever introduced an online career mode and had computer controlled teams in the first year. It takes time to develop that and if they had accomplished that it would have been right behind the greatest mode as the top selling points.

With that said, 2k has proven they are committed to pursuing excellence so pretty much count on it for 2013

I got into some serious online leagues last year, so online association will be even better. especially with Free agents, draft, and contract negotiations. Hopefully all of that is in.

And the fact that they can update player models and hairstyles is pretty cool

omg I wonder if we also get the power to edit player models? Afro Jrue Holiday FTW omg the next 2 weeks is going seem like an eternity D:

I don't think it would work that way since it's a different save file. Same as last year when NBA today updated ratings and such.
