We already knew all of this. So i'm not surprised how skimpy the info is.

Hopefully when they say they fixed the bugs, they mean it.

Revamped Team Building logic

Bug fixes! (based on community feedback from last year)

I wish they would elaborate on these 3 areas right here.

-All-new lineup/rotation logic

thats what im most thankful for.

Not much(at all), but not bad.

Most of the offline stuff we known already.

But I like these things(of the unknown info):
"-New NBA.com interface (the landing screen for the mode), information such as league leaders, injuries, standings are VERY accessible now.
-Other smaller fixes (improved draft generation, etc.)
-Bug fixes! (based on community feedback from last year)"

I didnt really have a problem with Association last year, it just needed tweaks for me. Bugs, trade logic, and drafts were my 3 biggest issues.

# 6 Mister_G @ 09/28/12 07:07 PM

As long as these fixes and adjustments actually work and the mode isn't glitchy with ridiculous trade/AI/draft/team-building logic then I'm happy.

EDIT: However, I feel like there should be small improvements in this kind of stuff every year.

# 7 JrueTheFuture @ 09/28/12 07:07 PM

aw damnit. Would've been cool if we could edit player accessories on our online associations.

# 8 DatboyJ23 @ 09/28/12 07:10 PM

We already knew most of this info. With the lack of detail in these bullet points, it seems as if they just wrote this down in 5 min to shut us up.

Anyways, I hope that the bullet points listed below are worked upon as they claim. Regardless I expect this to be a great game.

Not happy I want a FULL insight. Why did this take so long to release?

Is this the insight?

I could have come up with this myself. They made it sound like big news and yet again it's nothing. I just want the info so I know what I can expect when I get the game.

# 11 QKnick @ 09/28/12 07:19 PM

Keeping an open mind and hoping all is true. Will be playing this mode extensively!

I'm sure we have some dedicated association users on this board that will keep an eye out for us. All I gotta say is, if we were lied/overlooked for 3 ... 3 straight years, then it's on!

Fear the wrath!

# 12 Gramps91 @ 09/28/12 07:24 PM

It's nice to see some of the logics worked on. I'm happy to see some things improved in offline association. It's little things like this that really make me happy. Tuesday cannot get here quick enough.

# 13 Tha.Pink.Pantha @ 09/28/12 07:24 PM

I can't help but think this is them saying "of course, we did something...but nothing of note"

# 14 brandontrapp88 @ 09/28/12 07:30 PM

never happy lmfao

# 15 ggsimmonds @ 09/28/12 07:35 PM

Depending on what fixes they mean, I might be happy with this.

Aside from things like owner mode where we could set prices and features like franchise relocation there really is not a lot of additions left to be made.

So I am cool with the small list on one condition (2k listen closely)

Association better be damn near bug free right out of the box.

# 16 RustyBlue @ 09/28/12 07:36 PM

What about seeing who's online or not having to wait to long for trades to go through?

# 17 poloelite @ 09/28/12 07:39 PM

We get the "Start Today Feature", a new home interface screen and a bunch of stuff that should've been fixed on a patch last year?? Man, I was hoping for a lot more innovation here.

This is enough for me to confirm I will be purchasing... If they really fixed most of the bugs from the community last year, better lineup/rotation logic, and Improved trade logic then I am good to go!

I'm sure as people start getting the game Association will be tested out soon.

Though nothin big and ive already heard a few of these things already,if these bugs are fixed and theyve added a few cosmetic upgrades i will be satisfied enough.Im just a little sceptical about the bugs bein fixed mainly team building,trade logic and free agencey but im hopen for the best.Thanks for puttin this out.

# 20 Leftos @ 09/28/12 07:44 PM

This is how this reads to me:

"Total Sim Control, Start Now, and pretty much everything that is expected of us to do. Oh, and by the way, we screwed up big time last year. But you should TOTALLY trust us this time around. We've fixed the bugs. Really."

I've already said I'd be happy with them just fixing bugs, but releasing something like that as an Insight? Come on.
