How can we be sure they didn't touch Association? This is ONLINE, meaning they wouldn't focus on OFFLINE improvements to take away from the intended message they want to get across. Wait for the OFFLINE insight, then make judgements.

I have 5 buddy's who are all about to join me in a NBA utopia where we get to pretend to be g.m. And superstars simultaneously! If that does not excite u, then u either don't like basketball or don't have friends. In either case, my player mode sounds like your 2ktopia. Have fun with that, but please chill with the negative Nancy responses. Sheesh

Thank you. Someone finally said it. Look I understand people prefer offline because they have complete control or don't want to deal with the hassle of people not taking it serious and dropping out half way through, but THIS is why Im dropping my money on the game this year. I also have a bunch of friends who all love this game and we have been waiting for this all year.

Edit: plus, everyone knows that OS is a great place to start up leagues with sim players. For those who don't at least give this mode a try, I think you'll be missing out on a great gaming experience.

Cool, but how are we going to get real players in our drafts?

[darsin]

The upcoming endeavor is Online -wait for it- My Player. That is obvious, like you control your team you control your player with some of online other players. The architecture they provide is the basis for this. Start waiting for NBA 2k13 now!

I really wish I had the time to get into a bigger league but if we can play this mode with as little as two players my brother and I should have a blast!

All sounds great. Let's just hope it works as expected. Great job 2K!...now please make a football game and do the same :-)

[nigel36r]

YES! I've been waiting a long time for this in 2k.

I just hope it works. 2K online track record has not been solid.
