in the video they announce that you can purchase booster packs that will include not only players but also different uniforms and courts to play on. as for the name of your team im pretty sure that wasnt announced. im gonna guess it will be like playing a online ranked match in that just your psn/xbox name will just show up. thats just my guess tho

Will we be able to play with friends on the same MyTeam together or is the MyTeam only for 1 person to play with?

Ahhhhh, so close 2K. Adding that feature would have been huge. Oh well, i'll still play this instead of Association mode.

I'm actually really excited for this mode. It may end up being my main mode if it is everything it says it is. I love the idea of mini-tournaments and I'm already one to try to create teams, so this is right up my ally. I hope we can have more than 10 players, or at least more than 10 cards and then we just choose our 10 for each game and pay their salary.

The main loophole I could see, though, is if we are allowed to play exhibition games off line on rookie level. Someone could just play the top level teams on the easiest level and load up on VC before they even step into Road To The Playoffs. I hope that's not the case. OR, it would be cool if the weighted the VC depending on what difficulty level you play so that the payoff wasn't that great if you played on Rookie.

Exactly. Was this so hard to implement or what?

Can't understand 2k at times...
 
# 169 stillfeelme @ 09/22/12 12:46 AM
At first I was thinking meh.. but this mode sounds nice. It is combination of fantasy basketball with a salary cap and special perks. I think the idea of keeping friends from playing friends has some drawbacks but the good thing is I think each team doesn't know the other player's squad. So it would be harder to cheat the system and strategize for your next opponent, when you don't know who you are going to play against next.

????? This is a straight lie.

It came as ONLINE Association. An addition MANY people asked for...

MyTeam does look neat though
Or maybe SimBaller is busy prepping for launch?

But, far be for me to try to look at a less than completely negative view of things. Carry on...

I Dont know why youre saying it will not be able to play it online.

OF Course it will be able.ROAD TO THE PLAYOFFS is offline and then you are able to play online against your friends
 
# 173 Schwalm @ 09/22/12 05:50 AM
I really don't like playing online due to the fact that it's the same handful of teams every game. Really looking forward to thing game mode.
 
# 174 eye guy @ 09/22/12 06:22 AM
Really? Who cares about this ish! I play 2K ball for the depth Assoc once had... Where's the info on that? What about Create-A-Player?

It seems 2K is going for quantity rather than quality in regards to updating and improving modes which have been neglected the past two or so years.

So is Association the 'new' Crew?

The people posting in here whining about Association sound incredibly similar to Crew heads. Who cares about this ish? I do. I don't give two ish's about Association...but you won't find me joining Association discussions whining about other features.

Even though it hasn't been directly discussed, we know a lot more improvements to Association than you guys are acting like:
• Total Sim Control
• Today Association
• New CBA implementation
• Improved trade logic
• Tons of game-wide gameplay and presentation improvements

What is it that 2K has to tell you, before they can talk about a brand new game mode that many people have been waiting for for years, without you whining about no Association news?

Your opinion on Association doesn't really count after "I don't give two ish's about Association...".

Association was basically half of what made 2K ball stand out! For some, it is/was what 2K is/was about. This is THE main reason some of us buy (bought) the game. It's the same reason online players have been complaining about online in almost every thread, whether it's related or not.

We're "whining" because it needs to be heard. Don't like it? Don't read it! It isn't aimed directly at people like you. Think about it. Unless you're a bum with 8 hours to spare during the day, there really isn't that much time to play every mode completely before the release of their next iteration.

With nearly every new mode announced, 2K has added an arcady element to it. Take this mode as an example. Buying packages is something you'd expect from Call of Duty and not from a sports title that's trying to emulate real life. These packages should be earned individually as your career progresses. Not bought fresh off a supermarket shelf.

Improved Trade Logic has been around (rather announced numerous times) since before the release of 2K11, and it's not as improved as some of you non Assoc players like to think. NBA Today is now lagging behind Maddens Twitter feed in terms of league wide immersion and is the same as 2K11 as it is in 2K12. CBA was going to be in there because it's there in real life. Also "game-wide gameplay..." blah blah blah, is not something that's limited only to Assoc, so that's half a point. And what does Total Sim Control even mean? Total Sim Control? What? You want to hear something funny in regards to "Total Sim Control"? Guitar Hero controls for (you guessed it) their new ASW mode.

Why did they get rid of the old controls? Have you seen this?

I understand that it may be a bit annoying to see these types of posts, but if we don't say anything, nothing will be changed. Just ask the online players. Imagine if 2K doesn't deliver in the online department? You'll have a new meaning for the word "whining" and they'll be in EVERY thread!
