I feel somewhat the same way I might only buy the next gen version even though I really do love the gameplay improvements.

I watched IpodKingCarter's video about this new info, and he said that the controls are totally different from last year and to forget everything we learned from 2k13, now with that said i hope the learning curve is easier then last year because i couldnt get the timing right for the dribble stick to save my life, and im kind of tired of having to re-learn how to play NBA2k every year.

And 2k putting Association mode at the bottom under returinig game modes with nothing new attached to it makes me a little nervous but its still early I wont go crazy yet.

I mean even if they announced "improvements" to association mode, I wouldn't believe it until I can see it in the full game.

Just take this:

Quote:

Tuned rookie generation code such that incoming talent is more in-line with players already in the league. Other generation improvements were made as well, including better secondary position logic along with adjustments to the size of the incoming players

That's a quote out of patch notes for...NBA 2k11. And here we are 3 years later and have still to deal with the same rookie generation nonsense for pretty much a decade (has been messed up since 2k3). So the patch note wasn't really the truth and they didn't fix it in 2k12/13 either. Don't know why I should be confident in 2k having it figured out all of a sudden...

What i don't understand is why 2k haven't even made any effort to rectify the most basic issues of association. I mean it's one thing not to add anything new, but at least fix the existing problems.

You guys do know that they will be releasing news about Association later on, right? They reveal info week by week. If you're going to be disappointed then do so if it is confirmed to be disappointing to you.

I am excited about the improvements that have been highlighted. 2K13 has been in my rotation from release date. I really hope they address the flaws in the MyCareer mode like the distribution of minutes. I hate the way it was designed in 2k13.

Really? They're changing the whole control scheme again? Christ. I wish they'd pick a scheme and stick to it. Soon we'll need 3 hands just be able to press all the corresponding buttons just to do something as simple as post up. Was bad enough with the control transition from 2k13 to 13, but having to do it all over again? Urgh.

Still though, if it means more moves, dribbles, shots etc - then there's nothing really to gripe about.

Yea i dont mind them changing it again because i didnt really like last years controls but like you said i just want them to find the controls they want and stick with them at least for a couple years,
