Good deal!

hopefully this is just a 'PRE-insight' insight, but I doubt it. tbh, I'm fine with this information, it's REALLY all it needs. Just hope it actually works this time.

Look as long as bug-fixes means that 1) either we can edit ages or import draft classes correctly, and 2) we can complete an entire off-season while controlling all 30 teams, then I'll be happy! If not? Well it's another year of 2k11 for me

# 64 vegetabul12 @ 09/29/12 07:36 AM

In NBA2K11, I could create a custom league with 3 other friends, have a fantasy draft, and play a season where we only played against EACH OTHER with a subsequent "playoffs". This was our favorite way to play and is the ONLY thing I want to see put back in 2k13. Does anyone know if I will be able to do this? "Online Association" last year was horrendous.

# 65 niftyed @ 09/29/12 11:23 AM

At least they did something to it alittle unlike other sports titles .

# 66 Siavash @ 09/29/12 11:46 AM

Trading logic is improved they say, does this mean that the most common form of nba trading (sign and trade) will be added to the game? if not, Association trading will suck as always.

# 67 J.R._Rider @ 09/29/12 12:45 PM

I'm fairly shocked. There is literally zero new information here.

Every year 2K says vaguely that they fixed AI trade logic. Every year I end up having to control all 32 teams because the trade logic is broken.

Which bugs were fixed? How can we expect these fixes to affect the mode? Did you check an association six or seven years in to confirm the glitches are gone?

Seriously, if 2K can't be bothered to spend ten minutes explaining how they fixed a mode that was completely broken last year, I don't see why I should be bothered spending $60+ on this game.

I'll be waiting for the impressions thread, personally.

# 68 Phreezy P @ 09/29/12 01:20 PM

I just hope the stat bug is fixed, and I dont average 80 rpg and 25 bpg.

# 69 JerzeyReign @ 09/29/12 06:20 PM

I know I'm personally gonna use that 'start today' feature after the trade deadline.

# 70 whoahello @ 09/29/12 06:39 PM

They barely done much to improve these modes.

# 71 hewastheirfriend @ 09/29/12 08:15 PM

pre-ordered my copy, I can't wait to see how this all-star weekend thing works out with the association mode

Like will the slam dunk/3pt guys just be randomly picked or will they go by who were the best 3pt shooters that season

If I remember correctly, I believe either Ronnie or Chris said that they need a certain dunk rating and 3pt rating to be eligible and then it will be based on how many dunks and 3pt shots were made up to that point of the season. Now the question is, will it work like it is suppose to? Especially during multi-season associations.

After all that then I'll judge.

im with you in this.

# 75 RustyBlue @ 09/29/12 11:46 PM

what about:
searching for user created leagues
seeings who's online
inviting people to leagues
admin controlling trades instead of waiting for CPU

Yeah, you don't want to be THAT type of guy.
Instead you come here and tease what a guy like that does with his own time... glad you make better use of your time than he does.

Clown.

# 77 EarvGotti @ 10/02/12 10:19 PM

Is there really an option for the Commish to advance league by each week, or was that just another 2k lie??

# 78 LucasEatWorld @ 10/02/12 10:28 PM

Anyone know how to edit player roles? I can't seem to find it anywhere. No offense to Austin Rivers, but I really don't want him being my sixth man. I'd much rather have it be for the more realistic Danny Green.

# 79 lybo_systemetOHC @ 12/11/12 01:45 PM

Is it possible to use 2kshare draft classes in association ONLINE ?
If yes how ?

edit : why do u have to wait 12 ours to start league ? thats absurd ffs

# 80 ataman5 @ 10/28/13 09:45 PM

I'ma bring up all the Online Association Threads.

I don't think that's forbidden in forum rules.

Everyone should see now Enough!

See every thread from all different times bring up the same issues FOR 3 YEARS!
