NBA 2K14: My GM Interview, Hands-On Impressions, More! (Next-Gen)

[24]

I'll have no issues with this mode if the problems that were prevalent in association mode were fixed. Improved Drafting/Trading/Signing logic is what I'm mainly talking about. I think we've all dreamed about being the GM at one point or another so I actually like the idea of this mode. I don't know about anyone else but I've always dreamed of sitting some player down and explaining to him why he isn't apart of the teams future plans anymore.

My one big concern with this new mode is that 2K will focus to much on the new and not enough on the old. Association was pretty bare in terms of functions and it's great that this new MyGM mode gets deep into detail but like I said before I'm hoping they didn't layer new features over old problems. I don't want to see Kobe Bryant being signed by the Boston Celtics, or some ridiculous lopsided trades. I want to see CPU generated rookies develop properly and not make the league into one giant mess. If 2K fixes the problems they've had for so long then this mode will be fantastic.

D-Rose or Tim Duncan gets sent to the Miami Heat for an example. I want to reverse that. I should be allowed to do it. What if I want to take D-Wade from the Heat and put him in Sacramento to give life to that franchise. I should be able to do it in my GM mode/season.

so i guess you need to start producing your own NBA video game

Kidding aside, for the past 4 years, I am pissed how EA produce their NHL franchise. Very frustrated in their effort and their game, IMHO, is not even worth half the price. So, this year I did not buy NHL 14, after 20 years of buying NHL video game, I just put a stop on this insult of EA.

You have an option here, if you dont like 2k's NBA you can skip it and buy Live. At least in NBA, you now have 2 choices unlike in NHL.

I remember making MyPlayers in other games, but I feel as though there was still a dividing line between the exploits of the MyPlayer and other more realistic modes. I find the MyPlayer GM to be very, very silly. For me, it seems as if it'd stand as a constant immersion killer. Don't we all have certain things about NBA 2K we wish to keep authentic in hopes of prolonging immersion? Wouldn't it be strange if the head coach of each team you played as was a cyber version of yourself, instead of seeing the Mark Jackson and Mo Cheeks roaming the sidelines?

and this view of immersion should work both ways....while you think MyPlayer GM Is silly, I think the desire to play as R.C Buford is equally silly....

Making phone calls to other owners is viewed as an unnecessary "RPG" element to some, but to me it's just as immersive and realistic as your desire to add back the D-League,,.

People become immersed in different ways...the problem comes in when people view their idea of immersion as priorities instead of their personal taste...

If you get a NBA game for next gen you buy 2k not the game that looks worse then mario karts on N64

Do does it matter on the overall of myplayer for mygm since ur player gets imported into mygm? This will probably be my most played game mode next to MyTeam

There should be the "MyNothing" feature, where you can simply enjoy the game without being prompted to recreate an ugly 3d version of yourself to be the fictional protagonist of any mode of the game

Oh we know that this is the response to something you don't like. Which is always my response. I'm trippin' hard over this because 2K had it in the previous games of 30-team control. Why in the world would you backtrack and remove it? That's stupid. It's the same thing when Madden had Owner Mode in the last-gen days and they took it out, only to bring it back at the end of current-gen. I shouldn't have to buy Live 14 (if they even have 30 team control, no info yet). Like RangersCruz says, that game doesn't look all that hot. This is coming from a person that LOVED Live 10.
