people complained that association mode was stale and was getting no attention. it wasnt sim enough etc.

well, you get a major upgrade in which it gets more sim, like the ability to get fired etc and people complain because they dont want to worry about being fired.

makes sense.

you want sim... so you want to control every team in the league. that makes sense.

people complain just to complain at this point.

great job 2k, association was trash and this seems to be a much deeper mode.

I'd like it more if I got fired and MyGM mode was erased from my game.

Just want to play basketball, not play the sims

Do any of you read any other posts in this thread before making stupid comments? Your exact comment has been stated by many others, and each time we have explained why this isn't what we had in mind.

I'll keep it short with some keywords of what was asked to be fixed: Potential, Logic, Coaches, Sim Engine

I like the My GM mode

Association the way it was and season mode were a waste of space

In YOUR opinion.

For those worried about having a fake gm, can't you create the real gm to use? Can you create a different myplayer and mygm?

So If people went back and read the thread, they'd see posts about how if these things were fixed, the lack of 30 team control won't be an issue? Or would they see melodramatic posts about 2k turning into EA or an RPG game? Or assumptions about how every aspect they enjoyed has been removed?

You association guys asked for attention and you got it...Mike Wang didn't say it was redone, remixed, refined.....he said it was BUILT from the ground up, so there's no reason to believe tour laundry list from the FORMER association hasn't been addressed...we only know that ONE thing has been removed...and that sucks for the guys that used it, but I understand Mikes explanation....

That's the same Erick Boenisch who has introduced us the great of the greatest 'to him' online league mode "Online Association" so i don't trust this guy one bit. Whatever he says and publish will definitely end up with a whole lot of bugs in it. Can this mode be on-going seasons without i highly doubt!

This guy is just not the guy in terms of trust. I still remember very well in Nba 2k12 when he introduced Online Association which was and has been since a mode with full of bugs! Anyone in 3 years has ever reached to the end of 2nd seasons of their Online Association without any hindering bugs? Anyone? The guy for me is full of b.s...t so whatever he says just don't buy it that it will be there as he speaks as it won't and i'm sure! Call me paranoid but he is the weakest link in 2k devs for me. I think i might even go and say i do hate this guy as he has introduced Online Asso 3 years ago and neither enhanced the mode nor fixed the bugs for these 3 looong years.

So my main question is and i'm sure it won't be answered by any of the dev yet i ask again !? Will this so called MyGm will be on Online!?
Will there be online Leagues?

Thank you.

For some people that is the same thing as getting a Game Over screen.
Being able to turn firings Off would be fantastic!

The game looks amazing, but if I can't relax and play to have fun but instead have to worry about not having my career ruined (getting fired), I don't know if I will even play the mode.

# 152 cthurt @ 10/25/13 09:03 AM

I can tell already that having an on/off feature will be the best way for 2k to have success with this new mode, so at least guys wont feel forced to play a certain way.

# 153 stillfeelme @ 10/25/13 09:39 AM

All of this sounds good IF they improved potential and trade logic. Or if there were a potential slider where it took longer to improve potential or probability to reach potential was low. It does suck for those wanting to control every team though. I think they probably had to get the single player aspect right first before giving the multi team aspect right. If they improved logic for Myplayer which I don't even play it should apply to MyGM in my opinion. We will see later though. If MyGM is is improved then online association or MYGM online should be improved. Again we will see once information starts to come out.

# 154 RocketTMac1 @ 10/25/13 09:42 AM

I can only speak for myself. The only problems I have with this mode is that I can't do a 30 team association and there aren't any real GM's. I hate the idea of having a My Player run a team.

Hopefully the 30 team option is brought back next year and we get real GM's and owners in the game.

But that may result in a translation to many that I hate the mode or have so many problems with it.

# 155 lsu4life86 @ 10/25/13 09:49 AM

I for one am intrigued by this addition. It sounds like it will add some depth to the game play. However, it does seem like a lot of 'extras' hopefully there is a way to automate some of those daily tasks and discussions.

After a few seasons in association it just gets kind of dull but I agree with most that if my team is losing money and I get fired that would piss me off a good bit. Hopefully that is a setting you can turn off. But sounds like they are taking away a lot of those customizable options.

Just please have the settings for force trade, cpu trade on/off, and injuries.

24, you've been around long enough to know that these guys have a poor track record when it comes to implementing new features. The skepticism isn't coming out of the blue. It's been well earned.

I think that is pretty much what everyone is saying that isn't jumping all over the mode like it's the best thing ever. Freedom and customization are key trigger words that I think people aren't looking at.

If any mode loses freedom then it is doing a disservice to the consumer. If all of this is fixed next year then it will be a game that everyone loves. But as of right now you have a section of the community that feels alienated.

From what I've read no one hates the mode. They hate that freedom and customization have been taken away and are being forced into a pigeon hole.

# 158 swiftychampleone @ 10/25/13 10:01 AM

Yawn...all of this RPG stuff sounds great and all, but can I have my 30 team control? It's simple. I play the MyGM Mode and run my entire team's operation. Then just let me just go into roster management menu in options and edit the lineups of the other teams and do some trades for them. They can do their own salary management, coach firing or whatever. The CPU logic in trading and roster management is flawed in sports gaming. History shows this but then you have gamers yelling, "Give it a chance! Give it a chance!"

Honestly, it's not an argument of how great the trade logic and roster management is in a sports game anymore. It's an argument of how developers got the stupid idea of taking customization options from the gamer? When you take choice away from a consumer, you push them to the choice of not purchasing. Now, 2K has a chance to save face if enough people blast their forums and complain about it. I believe they could be able to create patch the fix the coding to allow players to edit rosters and 30-team control.

Agreed.

Now what are all these freedoms and options besides 30 team control that have been taken?

I feel like I haven't read what you guys are reading...I genuinely want to know?

# 160 cthurt @ 10/25/13 10:15 AM

Im curious will the new conversation style that 2k is so excited about be something that is fun and random or something that is a task and a headache??? Because for me to have a back and forth convo over every single thing I do will get old pretty quick. Hopefully there is a speed up option and alot more to do in this mode that has not been revealed yet.
