Alright, Let's REALLY Talk About MyGM Mode

[Gosens6]

Now I know you 30 team association guys aren't happy, so this topic probably won't be for you. The last thing I want this to turn into is a back and forth about which is better, blah blah blah, we've had enough arguing on this forum for the past two weeks, let's just have a REAL discussion about MyGM mode.

I for one, think it's an amazing mode that will add a ton to 2Ks franchise mode. This quote I read in a new article about it has me extremely excited.

Quote:

NBA 2K14 will remember everything you say and use it against you: 2K Sports senior producer Erick Boenisch made light of a particular situation he experienced while testing the franchise mode and their new conversation engine. In it, he was the general manager of the Sacramento Kings and told DeMarcus Cousins that he had a long-term plan of building a winner in California’s capital. But with the team struggling in Year 2 of his franchise, Boogie apparently drew back from a conversation last year to say that he wasn’t happy, and thusly wanted to be traded immediately.

Why does this excite me? I made a thread a few years back when NBA 2K13 came out, and me and a bunch of other guys had some really excellent ideas on what to implement, and it seems 2K might have listened.

While there are still player roles, it seems like a players personality takes into affect when accepting their role, not just their overall rating. We might finally be able to have real sixth men, ALA Manu Ginobili, Crawford, Etc. Guys with certain personalities may not complain about coming off the bench, older guys looking to win a ring might not complain about coming off the bench. I cannot wait to access all the possibilities of GM interactions.

We FINALLY have trade demands! DeMarcus Cousins requesting a trade because the team is losing is PHENOMENAL. We can finally have Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard situations. Requesting trades because they're unhappy with the team, because of broken promises, etc. I remember when I specifically requested this feature, and i'm incredibly happy it's made it into the game.

Imagine a scenario where you have a superstar player, and they come to you demanding a trade because of continuous years of team mediocrity? If you refuse to trade them, i'm sure they'll drag the team morale down until you get rid of him. It's really going to make managing your team a very fun aspect of your franchise.

I can only imagine what else 2K has in store for us with this mode, but right now, just knowing what we know, it's already 100X more realistic than the bare bones association mode we've had the past few years. What are some of you guys plans for your MyGM? And what else do you hope 2K has included in this mode?

This is gonna be a great mode to build on.

I would love to see the D-League, Summer League, and a Coach Carousel implemented.

Maybe pre-draft interviews and a draft combine. Allow us to interview like 5 potential draftees through the conversation system.

Edit: And duhhh...RELOCATION.

Just hoping the demands for trades etc. is not overdone.

Like quehouston sneaked in, I want relocation or expansion. But I won't be mad this year since this is the first game in this generation.

Oh and I plan to take over miami again, hopefully the revamped mode will make it add fun as it was to find wade the best sidekick(pre-big 3).

I agree with all of these, also please, please, no VC. It only hinders the experience, especially with it being a currency that can be obtained and also spent on other modes.

Has the team building logic been fixed? Does the sim engine now have a wider range of results? Are generic draft classes not the mess anymore that they have been for years? These are the questions many Association players wanted answers to finally, before throwing in RPG elements.

New features are great but there are more important issues that people have been 'patiently' waiting for for the last few years of disappointments from 2K.

I don't know, I already hated how SP used to not be transferable between different MyCareers. I think it is fine being able to earn it in a mode that I'm good at and spend it in one that I'm worse at.
