Improving The Franchise Mode in NBA 2K

[buttons0662]

First of All Great Article. Wow ... so many different opinions ... I guess everybody wants what they want ... like Mr. SHINYHUBCAPS whom I TOTALY disagree with ... Who cares about interviews, and or the Press (You do of course ... no offense) But this is a Basketball game lets focus on Basketball. The Bryan Gumbel / College Hoops Weekly Show coming to NBA 2K9 would be a Great Addition ... He could give ALL STAR Votes updates, Recap League Leader (Points, Rebounds, Assist) Name Player of the Week / Month and of course Highlights ... I would love to see the implantation of the ALL STAR Weekend (Rookie Game, Dunk Contest, Three Point, Skills Challenge, ALL STAR game) and the Ability to Edit Coaches. Coaches should have ratings like the players do so the Coaches Rating would affect the Teams Overall Rating ... the Ability to Create a Coach would be Nice (Then I'd put Coach K on the Bulls). A real life Practice would be nice .. the ability to work on plays or even create some. I'm excited to see what the Guys at 2K do ... and uhh check out my 2K9 Wish ...

First off no offense taken. But the links were for luv mist who asked for info on Live Dynasty mode. I don't care for it, it was just a link of info for him. I have Live 08 and 2k8. So I can make fair judgement on which is better. And the franchise mode in 2k is dry and needs to be updated. That was the point in discussion. And the links were just for comparison on why 2k needs to turn up the amp! Nothing more or less. So you guessed wrong, I don't care about interviews info wasn't for me. Read my previous post to his on page 1.

I'm agreeing with the article as well, I just want 2k to do better and truly improve! So far we are going to game 4 of Next Gen from them and I for once want it to seem Next gen, not like a simple upgrade from regular xbox.

I'd be so happy if the AI was smartened up. Trading, off-season signings, drafting, and all that.

Will NBA 2K9 allow for us to import College Hoops 2K8 draft classes into the game? If not, I must ask, what is the point of buying NBA 2K9 if I have to start an Association with made-up players??? NBA 2K8 is close enough to a sim to quench my basketball fix until EA completely overhauls Live and March Madness!!!

setting up practicing and running team drills is the most useless and annoying thing in Franchise Mode... outside sprucing up the ol' Association Mode, if those features I just mentioned are gone next year, the mode will be 10x better.

Definately need a change in the Association. Some things haven't been touched for years, like coaching.

my thoughts exactly. I don't plan on getting NBA 2k9 if you can't import the draft class. I will only get it if the game has been greatly improved and it is a must buy.

Right now I am playing choops and NBA 2k8 and enjoying itl. I am in my 4th season. I import rookies from choops and I can honestly say it keeps both games fresh and entertaining.

Nicely put. This game would be so much better with some personality. A stale association has been going on too long. I hope we are not let down. I have been in years past with the association.
