NBA 2K14: New MyGM Screenshot featuring Conversation Engine

[Gosens6]

Alright, I'm gonna say why I like this, and I would hope that other sim guys who strive for realism can agree with me, if not, I'm really not sure what people want anymore.

Looking past all the negative comments in here, i'll say this, some people might NEVER be satisfied. Saying that, here's why i'm on my way to satisfaction...

This screen tells me a few things. You'll have dynamic owner goals presented to you. This means that sometimes you'll have to change your strategy for the upcoming season to please your owner, or, you can do things your way and risk him getting pissed at you, but i'm sure he'll deal with it if you can still win a title.

Second, it forces you to rethink the way you play basketball video games. Your owner wants you to get younger? So he asks you to make some trades to acquire high draft picks? If you want to please him, what do you do? Do you give up some key veteran pieces to get some high picks in the draft? Or do you stick with that old core and try to make one more run at a title?

Maybe the owner wants you to bring in some veterans before the deadline to make a big playoff push? You never know how these dynamic owner/player/coach/media interactions will affect the entire makeup of your team. Personally, that's the big picture with all of this and i'm looking right at it; And i'll tell you this, I'm more than excited to find out what else is in store for this mode.

I'm just afraid that after 6/7 months all the dialogue will be always the same, I played many years with Football Manager and at the end of the day i spent so much time to discuss with agent, players, assistant coach and after some weeks i knew how to make players happy, just give them the right answer also if it was not wath you are thinking.
I think that user like me (and you) would prefer to have accurate ratings and playbook instead of such discussion and feature.
Hope you can understand what I write... My english is always so bad !!!!

Thanks for the information (i did not read about this).
So you also know if should be possible to use custom roster (i.e. Bedwardsroy) ?
And i'm also afraid about the translation of the dialogue... We always have terrible translations in italian...

I'm with you. Very excited to see the potential of this mode if its handled properly and the GM AI across the league is good. My frustration is with the trickling and teasing of information rather than the direction that 2k seems to be headed.

why do we have to satisfy the owner now didnt have to worry about that with 30 team association. Im not liking my gm right now. I just hope they dont take away custom draft classes.

do they realize that all of this info and pics about things other than gameplay and videos are doing nothing but pissing loyal buyers off??? These things are doing way more harm than good...

Why do GMs have to satisfy their owners in the real life NBA? How do you think Lakers management worked for all those years?

And if you saw the screen and info, there are options to tell him to basically shove it and you're gonna do what you want. This adds an entirely new dimension to association mode and i'm so upset more of you "sim" guys aren't seeing it.

I don't see why we shouldn't be allowed to use custom rosters (custom but not hexed), but I guess we won't know for sure until november 15th.

And dealing with translations I have no idea because I always play the game in english. The Spanish Translation is quite awuful.
