I think the biggest issues with offline were just the need for AI improvement (something they've gotten better at every year), and I'm sure they've worked on that as well.

In theory, online associations would have significantly less AI interaction (although still plenty, such as Free Agency for example) unless you're playing in a league with a lot of other CPU teams.

I'm sold! This is going to be awesome. I love the flex scheduling feature and the fact that inuries occur in number of games and not "real time".

I can't wait for Tuesday!!!!!

I'm typically an offline guy.

But this sounds pretty cool and I may give it a go once I get my XBL services.

Did OP make a new account just to post this? I think he did. Way too perfect

I'm stoked for this mode.

There's actually alot of things that needs to be fine tuned in that mode and AI isn't really at the top anymore because it arguably was great last year.

With that said, casual gamer would probably want a simple association (just play in a organized 82 game season with FA/draft and playoffs)
So some of the things they could have fine tuned (if they didn't this year) like chemistry, player roles and etc wouldn't really matter online, so yes I agree with you somewhat.

I just hope the new draft interface for the Online Association applies to Offline Association, because it looks really good, and might be easier to navigate. I sincerely doubt I'll be playing any kind of Online Association, NBA 2K online just really isn't for me.
