I think it's a really deep fantasy basketball game that can be personalized with signature skill assignments and coaching styles; and it's user controlled for head-to-head online play.

Now if you can take your MY TEAM into online associations with friends, that would be dope. Earn VC in your league and you have to be strategic on who you play and how you build.

At 4:36 it shows the ability to apply spot up shooter to Dwight Howard.....that's that ish I don't like! Other than that this sounds fun. I would like to know if u can challenge friends with my team.... If not it takes away some of the replay value. Gaming is all about bragging. My friends won't care how good my team is if I'm not beating them with em... Come on 2k make it happen

Some of you guys comments are childish. First off they haven't even showed association mode so how you know there's no improvement? Why in the world would putting spot up shooter on Dwight Howard make him a spot up shooter if his shooting rating is horrible? Please use your head, this mode is going to be sick, and the customization increases the longevity. This mode plus My career, plus online leagues, association, etc = This game is contending to be one of the best 2k's ever.

You can play your friends witg your myteam. I was hooked on maddens ultimate team and if this is anyhing like it then im going to be playing this more then my player. People who want the same old association, my player modes over and over and over in each 2k are crazy. Here 2k is adding a new game mode and some people are still complaining.

I never called anyone names, nor did I say the mode was categorically bad. I just said how I felt about it. Went so far as to say I'm sure many will really enjoy it. That's not being childish; it's articulating different perspectives.

You answered your own question -- because they haven't even shown anything about association mode. Even you have to recognize that, if 2K isn't actively promoting something, it hasn't gotten the attention it needs. What you just said beings me right back to last year where I was unhappy with the lack of an Association Mode insight. I was told to be patient because it was surely coming. It never came. And low and behold, Association Mode was unchanged (heck, it was actually worse than before with the bugs and stat glitches). This isn't 2K, it's Marketing 101.

It's a stat booster. By giving him that upgrade, he'll be a better spot-up shooter.

And I am using my head - I listened to the Video Insight they released detailing what giving each player these signature skills meant to their attribute ratings.

Not really big on fantasy teams and what not. I guess I'll dabble in the mode though.

Let's be clear...we're talking about giving Dwight Howard Corner Specialist, or something similar, right?

As they said in the video, these are one game boosts that you either purchased, or are awarded...they are rare, or at least limited. So, if you have a Corner Specialist, and you are putting it on a guy like Dwight Howard, go ahead....you're WASTING it. Instead of shooting 1 for 10 behind the arc...he may go 2 for 10. Not smart.
