NBA 2K14 Next-Gen MyGM Screenshots - Owners

[braves_94]

I call B.S.

For one, the Lakers are obviously owned by the Buss siblings from hell.

Here would be my description, last name changed for licensing reasons:

Beanie and Ben Puss:

After the terrible passing of their father. These two aimless wonderers who know absolutely nothing about NBA basketball took the reigns. They only know of the teams past lustrious history, and can offer nothing more than a bottomless amount of cash to aid your efforts. Be careful not to appeal too much to the other, as jealousy runs amock. And be careful who you hire as a coach, because it just so happens that Beanie his married to the Gym Master, Bill Jackman, one of the greatest coaches is modern day NBA history.

THIS.......and all the other little bells and whistles, thought up by a Corporation with just a little bit of imagination, is precisely why 2K is a success and EA is not.
Nevermind NBA Live would never come up with this idea in the first place, but they could never execute it with the panache that 2K is doing.
If this is going to be a battle, then Id say 2K has arrived at the battlefield armed to the teeth, and with a strategy geared towards the consumer.

Think about it.. Whats the difference if you're talking about Coaching Philosophies or Owners? They handle the Coach Profiles pretty well.
Here's an interesting concept... What if your team hires a Coach who's philosophy doesn't match the Owner?
Let's say the Laker Owner wants to win NOW.. But the Coach you put on the team likes to develop players slowly?
What happens?
Will there be a conflict between the Owner ad the Coach? Will Coaches be fired in Mid Season?
Will a team change its personality?

Wonder what working for His Airness will be like.... sounds interesting.

Did they confirm whether online association will include all of this because if so league retention will be a thing of the past

Michael Jordan (or the 2K version, Rob Jones)

Michael Jordan is an old school guy. He loves big men and buries Guards who can be superstars. The Bobcats are as much as a laughing stock as are they are a team, and he fully expects 50-loss seasons for the first couple seasons. Make no mistake, get cheap big guys who lack offensive ability and you will stick with MJ forever.

Owner Preferences
* Money
* Team Success
* Team Image
***** Involvement
* Franchise Morale
Patience

Hopefully there is an Online Association. Something tells me that this mode will be strictly offline.
