NBA 2K14 - MyGM: Staff Badges and Finances (Next-Gen)

[vtcha]

Never knew GM's managed the prices of food and drinks.
Surely guys like Pat Riley or Mitch Kupchak could care less about food/drink prices. Aren't these handled by the 'business-side' executives? (correct me if I'm wrong). I just feel its an unnecessary add-on and I sure hope it doesn't play a major role in terms of the budget, i.e., owners not willing to spend extra $$$ on luxury tax because of poor food sales, etc.

I believe it should be geared more towards a GM fulfilling 'basketball-related' activities. The owner should be more concerned of the sales and profits if you know what I mean. Now its like 2K14 Tycoon ...

Nonetheless, the more the better

That's the point. To turn a profit AND win. If the team is winning you can charge more meaning more profit, meaning more leeway with the owner, also you can become owner in this mode.

Yeah, hopefully there's an option to automate that kind of stuff because I couldn't care less about how much hot dogs cost. Everything else looks right up my alley though.

Once again, options my man. The more the merrier.

Really does seem like owner's mode which I've been begging for some mode similar to it in 2k.

You should play a different game, then. NG is all about ice cream and soda. No basketball.
