NBA 2K14 News Post


NBA 2K14 on next-gen consoles.

As much good as we have heard today from the folks at 2K Sports, and there has been a lot of that, we just got word that there will not be any offline multi-team control options in MyGM which is replacing Association mode. There was some hinting it could come back in future editions, but for this year's title don't expect to be able to play with more than one team in offline MyGM mode.

Also Aaron is reporting that there are some features which are in current gen NBA 2K14 which won't be making it over, but no word on what those are from the folks at 2K.

UPDATE: Erick Boenish, AKA SimBaller had this to say...

For those curious about MyGM mode, know this. I only covered about 5% of what this mode is at the press event. This was a bigger media event, one where a large number of the attendees aren't exactly highly interested in the meat and potatoes of a mode like this. I simply provided an overview of what our philosophy was.

We'll be going into MUCH more detail (you know I will take care of you guys here) on what we've done in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

The takeaway you should have right now is MyGM is Association on steroids. Multi-user had to take a backseat for a minute while we rebuilt the entire foundation of how a franchise mode works. I assure you, this is all for the greater good. Leftos and I will make sure you're all happy at the end of the day.

P.S. For those who aren't into the concept of interacting with staff, players, etc., a Season mode (with variable season lengths) IS available so you can just focus on playing games and moving players around where you see fit.

What do you think of no multi-team control offline in 2K14 next-gen?

Hope to God it still has season mode. (for multi player)

I don't really use Association.

Season mode has been confirmed. Don't know about multi user control though

At this point, Im praying that they will.... Someone In another thread said that 2K did state that classic teams will be in current and next gen back a couple of months ago on twitter, but Im not sure.

Classics are in, this is CONFIRMED.

Terrible terrible news... I'm so sad
What does it mean "you will be fired" !!!
I want to play for 10 or 15 years with same team, I want to rebuild, I don't want to be fired, I want to be the owner not the GM
Why you kill the Association mode ?!?!??
It should be so easy to keep everything like 2k13...
In italy we use to say: "squadra che vince non si cambia"

I'm not cosigning with the lack of multi-user/multi-team control if draft and trade logic hasn't been fixed, but MyGM mode being Association on steroids catches my attention.
 
# 130 LingeringRegime @ 10/24/13 06:33 PM
Something else to consider, I hear a lot of talk about, saying something wrong to your star player = you get fired.

I really don't think it will be like that. Otherwise, you would be fired non-stop. I am guessing it is a series of bad moves over a prolonged time period.

Seems intriguing to me. More alive.

What's the deal with controlling all teams? Where's the challenge in that? How many games do you actually play? I don't understand the purpose. Please explain if its not to much trouble.

I do it for management purposes. Rotations are often screwed up as well as stopping crazy trades that would never happen in real life. I like the stories I make up for it. I'm a creative guy and a control freak when it comes to games so I love multi team associations. And hope that My GM gets the multi team option in NBA 2K15.

personally, i play mainly with one team whilst keeping other team's management choices in check.

regular association isn't challenging anyway unless you play fair.

I manage the other teams roster and play any games that I find interesting on the schedule. A friend and I will generally play about half of the games on the schedule, this is a big loss for me. Season mode may save the day for this year though.

I guess that's what's up! I kind of understand your point. I rather just focus on my team, but I really hate to wait to play a team so I can go up again their star, just to find out he's on the bench of a trade.

Yeah, but has it been confirmed that classic teams are in?

That's pretty much the point. I don't like seeing Manu or Jason Terry in the starting lineup (which I'll have to deal with this year) or players that may not be rated right don't even see the court where a overrated person gets more minutes. Little things like that are the main reason why I do what I do. But until they give that option back I will have to deal with it just like everyone else.

ehh, the info so far makes me think it isn't association on "steroids" but just assoc with an energy drink.

you know what i'm sayin?

I am assuming no online GM (Association)?
