Yeah I'm looking forward to this mode it should be fun. I think everybody set there expectations way too high for this mode!

If 2k doesn't fix their mode I won't buy it just like I didn't with Madden. It's underwhelming to a lot of people's expectations not just mine. No relocation, limited use as a GM, mediocre trade logic, predictable & crazy player growth, out of date interaction, not enough stats, not enough depth, boring FA's. And why do people have to say no-one is forcing me to buy it? I'm not buying it but I want them to fix their product, they need to hear criticism, tough love. Not hold their hands and pat them on the head. If I think the association mode & MyPlayer mode sucks, I go into detail why they suck and how they should fix it, a response shouldn't be well you're not forced to buy it. Also CCM with it's flaws>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Association Mode in 2k. And yes they do need a new car, Association Mode has been the same for 4-5 years with minimal improvements each year. That's like have a car with 200,000 miles but still driving it around. I'll see what they have to say for next-gen regarding Assoc. Mode, if it's still the same I'll just wait for NBA 2k16.

too many yes men around these parts

All players created for just this mode I'm guessing

"NBA 2K14′s Path to Greatness mode gets more interesting as it forecasts the future. Players with more random names pop up. Lebron won’t be going against familiar competition. Visual Concepts had to make up players like John Trice who is the up and coming star on the Lakers. He’ll deal with powerful new centers with names fans have never heard of like Ekon Okoye. There are also earth-shaking moves like Carmelo Anthony teaming up with Derek Rose on the Chicago Bulls. Is this likely? Probably not. But because this is all speculative, fans have to cut developers some slack. They do their best to project some interesting scenarios."

it's just a more polished 2k13 gameplay wise

ehhh, personally it's not enough to warrant a buy

I want to know this too.....

Did you try this Jwill ?

Its the same as previous... its just a smoother transition now. Touched upon this in the new gameplay vid where everyone is saying jumpshots are too fast now.

Its not that they are 'faster' but that the transition from catch/dribble to shot is smoother, I guess one could say the resulting effect would be a overall faster shot.

During gameplay, I had no problems pulling up, shooting off the dribble, stepbacks, etc... my biggest problem was pressing LT. Other than that it was just smoother, hard to describe with words, less time 'fighting' the game so to speak to get what you want (to shoot).

Ok cool sounds real good.

I'm assuming you can basically create your own space creating shots instead of just double flicking the right stick or double tapping B for those who used the buttons, am I right ?

B is mapped to pick n roll iirc, so no more b tappers... also its still kinda flick flick, but flick for dribble, then flick-hold for shot. if that makes sense.
