NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

Cause from the way things sound from reading all the info that is out on MyGM as of now, it sounds like we will be doing more (or even too much) behind-the-scenes/off-court stuff than actually playing the game of basketball. A lot seem to be okay with that, but some of us aren't. Not sure why The Association couldn't have stuck around as a mode with improvements to trading/signing A.I. logic, improved player rotations, improved draft classes, etc. and still had MyGM as a seperate mode for those who want a basketball version of Football Manager 2013. No disrespect, but MyGM sounds too deep and there are some of us that don't want to dabble in EVERY aspect of playing with a franchise and 2K guys saying the Season Mode is for us old Association fans is pretty much a slap to the face. Not sure how anyone can think that a Season Mode that only goes one year equates to the Association mode from the current-gen and previous installments. Thanks for coming around and interacting with the community. It's appreciated.

I don't understand, if you only want to play the games and want none of the managing aspect (although I don't know why you wouldn't want that), aren't you able to just set the the tasks to be automated by the CPU as has been the case for Association in previous years? I'm pretty sure they have already stated that is possible.

Melbournelad, like I stated, some of the stuff sounds cool and I have no problem experimenting with some of the new aspects. But sometimes after a hard day of work, last thing I want to do is be in conversation trees and worrying about fans crying over my drinks being 50 cents more than the Bobcats prices lol. If it has been stated that we can have some of the tasks automated or turned off, I've missed it. And I've been reading pretty much every thread discussing MyGM thoroughly. I just think it would be nice to have the option(s). Not saying that I don't want to try MyGM mode out.

I really dont understand these people who says the game s**ks and evrything. 2k is giving us a great mode that is deeper than ever so we can have alot of fun and challenge while playing and they're not happy always complaining if you're not happy stick with current gen or try to create the game yourself! 2k is trying something new something for the future I think it would have been boring if ng 2k was a port of cg 2k but it isnt and I know there's alot of guys out here who can't wait to play on launch day including myself. All I got to say thx 2k for bringing thr nba game to another level.

No worries, I understand where you're coming from, I am just positive that I saw it stated in one of these threads by 2k that tasks can be set to CPU automated for those that want them to be.

Only a week to go, so we will find out. I got to have something to play on my PS4 besides Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, so NBA 2K14 will be probably get purchased lol.

Thanks for not being a d*ck like some of the other people here on OS are being just cause dudes have a different opinion or want to play a game differently than they do.

I'm not complaining, I would love to play this mode but I don't have the time so Ill will have to play other modes like MyCareer, Season, or The Park. Now if 2K would take a page from The Show, and implement the ability to carry over your MyGM and MyCareer to the next/new version of NBA 2K, would be a dream come true for me.

If you don't have time, absolutely nothing wrong with that. But you know you can delegate everything you don't want to do to your assistant GM? So you can just focus on playing the games and managing your team.

I fail to see how playing MyCareer, Season mode and The Park will somehow be less time consuming than playing MyGM.
