I'm not a HUGE basketball fan, or basketball video game fan. I do keep up with the sport and watch big games, and have enjoyed jumping into NBA 2k a lot the past several years. I like running lots of Associations and taking them to the offseason to sign FAs, or starting one midseason and playing a few games or the entire season from there. MyGM is way too much of a hassle to do this. I also do not understand who came up with the menus for this game. They are terrible. They look unappealing and don't make much sense, even after figuring out how to use them. The last thing I'm disappointed in (and only slightly) is the actual gameplay. I believe they have a new engine or something?? Either way, the game plays pretty well, I just don't think it matches current gen gameplay. The disappointment in the gameplay may change after playing it enough and getting used to it, but we'll see. All in all, I like FIFA and Madden better than NBA 2k14 right now on next gen. I just don't know why they would change so much about their game when it was already a leader in the sports games industry

You can play one season without having to do all of the GM stuff. After you select MyGM, to can use L1 or R1 to "tab" over and it will just say season. Basically is is the "Association" mode. All of the MyGM stuff is not there. I am running a season like that now. The menus are funky, but far far far from a deal killer. I would be much more upset if 2K had "mailed it in" and up-resed like Madden and COD. They basically built a next ten game which I appreciate a lot.

I am glad they took the approach they did and left out a few things and tried new stuff because that is what makes 2K different from other companies that mail it in every year... New next gen system, new next gen ideas.

By far the biggest thing that kills this game for me is lack of Association. I'll try the seasons mode but I really really enjoyed offseasons on 2k. And yeah, the menus just add some annoyance to it but I wouldn't get rid of the game because of it

I can't speak to the multiple seasons thing because I have not been that far yet. I am currently going game by game and just enjoying every second of every game. I am not in a rush to find out whats not in there. I am mostly excited to play the game, In any event if MyGM is multi season, maybe you can automate most of the GM stuff and that will solve the issue, but then again, I have no idea, just trying to help

"...So I'm playing NBA 2K14 and I get beat by my man to the rim... Afterwards I yelled "****!"... No joke the PS4's camera picked it up and gave me a technical foul in the game... WTF"

"Can confirm. Happened to me tonight and my wife said maybe now I will learn my lesson about cursing at the video games all the time."

2K is somehow controlling what features are accessible or even featured in the game.


Why can we edit something save it and that be the end of it why does it revert back all the time?

I set up my sliders only to have them revert back again and again.

What? are you playing with me is this some way of getting back at all us guys who like to edit?

Seeing under 5 dunks per team per game. This is great!!! Please do not alter this in a patch, no matter how many people want to play NBA Jam.

A lot of people in this thread are complaining about the 'lack of Association'..

I'm really missing the point here I guess.. are you telling me there's a sizable amount of people for whom Season mode is too wimpy, but MyGM is too involved?

I understand lack of 30-team control, but re: the above - the area inbetween those two points seems pretty damn picky/nichey to me.

Asked this in the ps4 thread and got no answer. Is anyone hearing anything come from their controller while playing 2k? I have yet to hear one sound come from my controller while playing.
