NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

01:02 PM - November 5, 2013 by Steve_OS

We just got a new screenshot from the folks at 2K Sports of MyGM mode on next-gen consoles. Billed as a complete re-imagination of the franchise mode. The newest shot shows what is likely one of the first screens you'll see in the game: building your GM and picking a style.

Will you specialize in the art of negotiating? Or perhaps you want to be a businessman to maximize your bottom line? If you become an expert in assessing Emotional Intelligence, you will have the powers of persuasion at your disposal.

In the shot below, you see the GM level up options. There are seven different attribute categories with 10 upgrades in each category. Also, you can acquire GM-specific special abilities to use to get a leg up on the competition.

What do you think about the RPG-like elements we're seeing from MyGM?

At this point you guys might as well wait the week for the game to come out. I mean seriously, the only guys who NEED info now are guys who pre-ordered and are buying day one. Even then pre-ordering is a scam so maybe you deserve no info.

It's ridiculous how 10 days before release, and we havent even seen gameplay videos?

Has this ever happened? I dont think so, I usually dont complain about lack of info etc... but man 10 days...

So if Gamespot didnt leak that vid, we wouldnt even have access to a single gameplay vid right now, wow

You have stats for financial responsibility, attitude to foreigners and temperament. These stats are useful when a club is considering you to be their new manager. Your reputation and experience can make players either respect you, or think you're not good enough to be managing the club, and all this can have an effect on the pitch. You should have to learn how to manage people's emotions, not just choose psychologist and then it becomes easier to manage people's emotions. When Phil Jackson came into coaching, he didn't choose a box that said psychologist which just gave him special powers, he has a naturally cool temperament combined with a knowledge of psychology, and it took experience for him to get better at it. This is disappointing.

Yo, I hope they listen to you fam. Good stuff!!

Enough with the screenshots, this is way out of hand already especially since we are about a week away from release. We didn't even get to see the full momentous trailer yet and usually those would come a month before released. Not to mention, we should have also seen these screens a month or more ago. All I am hoping now is that there will be developer Insight vids on ecomotion, graphics and etc.. PS I remember those good ol' 2k11 days when we had much more epic trailers (in my opinion) and those funny little tv ads while getting the game on release day was like Christmas.

What the hell is so cheap about giving us a way to differentiate and have a certain speciality that other GMs might not have? I didn't know that everyone had to be the same with no special qualities and nothing to bring to their job.

I didn't know real GMs chose a path when they first took office and gained special abilities in that category. Maybe that's how Billy King signed Kirilenko. Kirilenko was going to say no and take the option year in Minnesota but then King flashed his Emotional Intelligence Upgrades.

I'd much rather play the game with the same rule set than get magical discounts on some category.

# 70 Khaos_Kiwi @ 11/05/13 07:09 PM

I just don't understand why they added in this "level up" stuff? If I'm the GM I should be able to change the prices as much as I want!

Seems like just another way for them to get us to buy VC. And this mode looked extremely promising too......

# 71 cthurt @ 11/05/13 07:11 PM

Well good job messing up a possibly good thing 2k...wasn't a fan already of the my player being included but now the VC in the mode just gives me a totally different feel for this I really hope there are turn off options in this mode.

# 72 seanbarkley @ 11/05/13 07:15 PM

OK, I'm done, now I'm sure that if I want to know any useful info I'll have to wait til november 15th.

# 73 shawnydee @ 11/05/13 07:16 PM

does anyone know if we will be able to scan our face with the ps4 eye or the kinect. For out my player and my gm

# 74 Kaleb @ 11/05/13 07:24 PM

I wonder if there will be an offline version of this. I don't have my net turned back on yet and if this is VC only for good features (like the my player closet) then I am going to be frustrated. I mean come on! That would mean I spent $400 plus warranty for the console and $60 for the game then get screwed out of content?!

# 75 jaateloauto @ 11/05/13 07:34 PM

2K screwing over the customer one game mode at a time. Next up you have to spend VC in OA or quick matches depending on what team you choose.

# 76 Kaleb @ 11/05/13 07:36 PM

I just noticed on a my team screen shot it had a cost to the side and a coin that was silver and said MT in it instead of VC. I wonder if they split them up....

Can't believe VC is apart of this mode. Thats a terrible decision. Disappointed in you, 2k

# 79 Optik @ 11/05/13 07:47 PM

One day, I'm going to have farmed enough VC to purchase enough business savvy to buy out Google.

# 80 JazzMan @ 11/05/13 07:54 PM

Everyone in this thread needs to chill out or something. Ya'll are getting fired up about a game that's not even out yet. Can't wait to see these forums once it drops.
