So is Association the 'new' Crew?

The people posting in here whining about Association sound incredibly similar to Crew heads. Who cares about this ish? I do. I don't give two ish's about Association...but you won't find me joining Association discussions whining about other features.

Even though it hasn't been directly discussed, we know a lot more improvements to Association than you guys are acting like:
• Total Sim Control
• Today Association
• New CBA implementation
• Improved trade logic
• Tons of game-wide gameplay and presentation improvements

What is it that 2K has to tell you, before they can talk about a brand new game mode that many people have been waiting for for years, without you whining about no Association news?

Your opinion on Association doesn't really count after "I don't give two ish's about Association...".

Association was basically half of what made 2K ball stand out! For some, it is/was what 2K is/was about. This is THE main reason some of us buy (bought) the game. It's the same reason online players have been complaining about online in almost every thread, whether it's related or not.

We're "whining" because it needs to be heard. Don't like it? Don't read it! It isn't aimed directly at people like you. Think about it. Unless you're a bum with 8 hours to spare during the day, there really isn't that much time to play every mode completely before the release of their next iteration.

With nearly every new mode announced, 2K has added an arcady element to it. Take this mode as an example. Buying packages is something you'd expect from Call of Duty and not from a sports title that's trying to emulate real life. These packages should be earned individually as your career progresses. Not bought fresh off a supermarket shelf.

Improved Trade Logic has been around (rather announced numerous times) since before the release of 2K11, and it's not as improved as some of you non Assoc players like to think. NBA Today is now lagging behind Maddens Twitter feed in terms of league wide immersion and is the same as 2K11 as it is in 2K12. CBA was going to be in there because it's there in real life. Also "game-wide gameplay..." blah blah blah, is not something that's limited only to Assoc, so that's half a point. And what does Total Sim Control even mean? Total Sim Control? What? You want to hear something funny in regards to "Total Sim Control"? Guitar Hero controls for (you guessed it) their new ASW mode.

Why did they get rid of the old controls? Have you seen this?

I understand that it may be a bit annoying to see these types of posts, but if we don't say anything, nothing will be changed. Just ask the online players. Imagine if 2K doesn't deliver in the online department? You'll have a new meaning for the word "whining" and they'll be in EVERY thread!

Some people have lives, i'm not going to just sit here and check everyday for a package to get a certain player. Fail

Well then obviously the mode isn't for you. But just because it isn't for you doesn't make it bad. I probably won't use it much but it still sounds awesome. It's not just mixing and matching players and playing for the playoffs, you clearly don't even understand what the mode is. You're basically the GM and have to build a team. The more hours you play the game (not just the mode), the more money you earn to spend on your team. So you won't be able to just buy Lebron, Kobe, Dwight, Jordan & Durant, you have to play a while to buy a gold level player and you have a certain amount of money to build your team from so you can't just stack the best players.

On top of that you can change the signature skills on the guys on your team so even if someone else had the same players, both teams wouldn't be the exact same. And not unrealistic changes like putting Deadeye on Dwight Howard, from what i saw in the video you can only offer a guy a certain signature skill if his rating is already at a high enough level so Dwight won't be able to have Dead Eye or Ankle Breaker.

The price of the players also will rise and fall depending how that player plays in real life so you can get Durant cheaper after he's had a bad 5 game stretch than you would if he's tearing it up.

There's a lot more that goes into it than just picking guys and playing games.

you people whining about Association sound like babies. "I WANT THIS NOW WAH WAH WAH!"

2k is releasing info on their schedule, not by what you want.

This mode they announced is a great mode for them. You think nobody cares about it because you don't care about it but a lot of people will use this.

[Tefl0n T0m]

Sweet, time to get Lebron and give him the closer signature haha.
