NBA 2K14 Next-Gen MyGM Screenshots - Owners

01:03 PM - November 6, 2013 by Gosens6

The folks at 2K Sports just posted a new screenshot with new information on MyGM mode for NBA 2K14. The screenshots features an owner attribute screen, with a total budget for your franchise with player budgets and payrolls, staff budget, and a budget for team operations -- indicating the possibility of some pretty intense financial options in MyGM mode.

Also, each owner appears to have a set of preferences which will likely act as ratings, with money, team success and image, involvement, franchise morale, and patience being roles in how they approach your management of their franchise.

In the image description, it appears some owners will even try to veto and/or override your decisions on a regular basis.

UPDATE: Another screenshot has been released with a few more details.

	In NBA 2K14�s MyGM mode, your owner will give you a list of Demands and Wishlists, all based on his personality, that he will want you to accomplish throughout the season and offseason. If you venture too far off course, you�ll likely find yourself unemployed. Do well enough, and you�ll be afforded the opportunity to be your own boss when your purchase your own NBA franchise.

What do you think about the Owners aspect of MyGM?

Yet, rarely do GMs in the NBA have complete control. They must adhere to the mandates of the owner. Pat Riley, R.C. Buford, Joe Dumars and their ilk don't do as they please. They take ques from ownership (budget, roster limits, etc), coaches and scouts to make informed and good decisions that fit their plan.

If not, they end up leaving or fired like Steve Kerr. Who was doing a good job in Phoenix, but ownership (Robert Sarver) had a different vision. He also wanted no part of the luxury tax.

That's why I love this mode so much. Having to really maneuver around what your owner wants, while still implementing your own vision is going to be an awesome task.

	In NBA 2K14’s MyGM mode, every team has a unique owner that you must work to satisfy. Some owners will want to focus on turning a profit, while others will spare no expense to get a ring. There are even owners that will meddle in your affairs and try to override your decisions, depending on their Involvement level.

Wow this sounds pretty amazing. The first question that came to my mind immediately was: I wonder if the owners static or can they change based on how your team is performing?

Example: Let's say you're the GM of the Nets, obviously you're in "win now" mode to start the season. However, what if the wheels come off early and you start losing a bunch of games, Will the owner's focus shift away from getting a ring and look to have a "fire sale" and start concentrating on the future instead?

Sooo many possibilities, Soooo many questions. I can't wait to hear more.

Also, rarely do GM's have absolute complete control over rotations, ticket prices, and on-court play. Still, it appears we'll have all of those abilities in 2K14. I would merely request the option of being in control of my own destiny as well, as opposed to conforming to the whims of a fictional computer owner. I like the idea of playing games, setting up rotations for games, trading players, scouting prospects and dictating the direction of my franchise. That's all.

I really feel like if you give this mode a try you REALLY might like it. It's not like you have no control, in fact, you have full control. Just depends on your owner how much they try and intervene or undermine your decisions.

I wonder if we will be able to sign and trade players

They should have this mode and the regular old association from past iterations. I would definitely be playing this mode, but the old association would be nice to have as well. Especially when I am playing with my family.

You're a GM, that's basically what your job is.

I am not sure if he is asking if you can sign and also trade players because that should be a given. I think he means like do a sign and trade like the Magic did with Dwight.

Yeah, I'm being finnicky about the owner direction aspect. Whereas in the past I've typically been pretty optimistic about what 2K's brought forth, I've lost a little faith in that regard of late. I'm not as certain as I once was that 2K will work everything out in a sensible manner.

As such, I tend to put a lot of these vague information releases under the microscope. I have a lot of questions about their direction as a whole (with the virtual currency and whatnot) so I admit I feel skeptical with each micro-fragment information release. There's not a lot of clarity out there beyond what we can interpret from these screenshots.

Lol if that's the case then i'm hoping for the same thing! The way it was worded it was hard to decipher what he meant through text

This could be really cool, especially when I bring the Charlotte Hornets to dominance.

# 58 RipCityAndy @ 11/06/13 03:40 PM

# 59 shawnydee @ 11/06/13 03:48 PM

Well, first off the few screen shots that we have seen so far only seems to scratch the surface of what this will be. But if you want an actual answer, then is player morale in CCF? How about unique owner personalities who can potentially meddle with your team? Welp, there's already two pretty big differences that already set it apart from CCF. If you don't see that, then you're choosing not to look.
