Be careful of who you're trying to speak for when making blanket statements like that, because you sure don't speak for me.

Give me a break, man. I'm obviously not trying to speak for everybody. It's simply my opinion.

What about some new rosters too lol? The GM mode does need to be fixed and while I still enjoy the mode, the points made in the article are accurate and need to be addressed. It is shocking we haven't heard anything from any of the devs.....

There were a few brief statements from Redshirt here and other devs at the EA Forums. If I understood correctly, the patch is being tested -- didn't specify if its internal or external (ie, MS/Sony) -- which means they are reluctant to give specifics on what is included until it is approved.

I know it's frustrating to wait not only for the update itself but also info on it, but that's where we're at right now.

You can make any matchup you want and get to experience some of the cool post-season presentation elements of the game without having to play 100-plus games. NBA 2K11 is great b/c I can play either 29- or 58-game Associations, I'm not just stuck with 82 games. Sports games are at their best when they give the user as many options as possible.

Yeah, those are great modes, but how come they are not available as ONLINE MODES???? EA, I want to play this game and all its modes with friends.
How come 2k can have custom season length in franchise mode but EA can't ? You can't say its to hard to do if the other company is doing it!!

That's encouraging. As I said, the game is great and I really enjoy it. Once we get a patch, then BaGM will really fly hopefully because the additions are great

im mixed about this, i really hoping that EA will fix this, but this issue has been raised i believe since 2010 or even 2009, but still exist on 2011. with brief statements not even specific claims that they will address these issues make me skeptical in EA announcments. i really love this game and most of my time i play the BaGM mode, but these issues really frustrates me, not only because its there, but its been there since 2009.

Very true.

The 2K developers really seem to understand the importance of providing a wealth of options with their sports games. From sliders to other customizable options....they seem to "get it".

The EA Canada devs have been responding pretty darn well lately to the community wants/suggestions, through tuner sets. Hopefully they'll hear our cries for customizable season length for NHL '12'. I like to believe this is a pretty big issue for lots of NHL gamers.
