NBA 2K14: MyGM Developer Diary

04:07 PM - November 8, 2013 by RaychelSnr

Franchise modes are a passion for me; they are my go-to mode in any sports game. I truly enjoy the challenge in taking a struggling team and rebuilding them into one of the best teams in the league. It’s a very cerebral experience, one that requires a certain level of shrewdness. For years, our award winning Association mode has put you through the trials and tribulations of building a team that can co-exist while trying to win titles. We had some pretty defining features during the last generation in The Association, but for this generation, it’s a whole new game.

Great, great read. This mode is gonna be too deep. I never realized how bland Association was until I read this. What in the world have we been playing for all these years!?!?!

More likely than not, they didn't have the option to use real GM/owners. Just a guess though.

However, they did use the name "Erick Boenisch" as one of the owners, which is simballer's name, so maybe they just used the names of 2K guys for the previews? Who knows.

Still going to depend on how good the AI is. I'm hopeful, since they managed to (mostly) fix potential in current-gen 2k14 and the draft class generation has been pretty decent, but the AI still seemed off when valuing draft picks.

Guess we'll see!

The NBA 2K14 team used @SteveKerrTNT to help craft their next-gen My GM mode.

Just awesome

Thanks SimBaller and Leftos and every one else involved. This mode looks really, really good. It's something that I've been waiting for many years and it's finally here.

Now PLEASE, PLEASE remove VC from the mode. Or at least make it so it's completely unnecessary unless you are one of those people who just want to cut corners.

But Madden has a very similar mode with "Connected Franchises", is Live going to have something like that?

You're saying anyone with constructive criticism should not buy the game.

Im not that enthused about playing this mode, will give it a try, will buy the game...but Ill criticise it if I dont like it.

2K has taken a huge risk: their AI logic has always been ****, and that's what this mode is based on. If it is still ****, who wants to be stuck in menus arguing about ticket prices, and wholemeal or white bread for burgers, or whatever.

Removing a multi-season association where the user had control over it (not some faulty AI) is a huge risk.

# 52 Gosens6 @ 11/08/13 04:57 PM

I am going to be CONSUMED in this mode. I can't wait to introduce new head coach, Kobe Bryant to the Lakers fans

# 53 flip2101 @ 11/08/13 05:01 PM

Wow after reading that all I can say is "I Love You 2k"

# 54 the_future420 @ 11/08/13 05:02 PM

Pre-order confirmed.

# 55 mrbigshot @ 11/08/13 05:02 PM

Wow! very impressed with 2k's iteration of mygm mode.

a little disappointed you aren't allowed to relocate teams/do expansion draft. I think that would have sealed it completely as go to game mode. Teams change their nickname frequently now in the NBA as it appears, as well relocate every now and then. 20 years later I don't want expect every single city to still have all the teams that are currently in the NBA today. :/

but im really really proud of 2k, thank you for giving us association guys something real to play with for months until 2k15 is released.

Wow a lot of insults for people who want some of the old stuff included into the next gen games, like full 30 team control and stuff like that, they should be able to voice their opinion as well everyone else..... it's funny to me because the same people throwing insults and telling others to shut up and like the game before it's out, are the same people that in 2 months will be complaining about stupid trades in the new GM MODE for Chris Paul and Lebron James for Mike Miller and Steve Nash #full control is ALWAYS needed

I will bet you my entire years salary that no one with the game will ever see that happen. Way to be dramatic.

Im all for options, but they already made it clear this is what its gonna be. At this point you play the mode for what its worth or play current gen 2K. Hit the guys up on twitter, post in the wishlist threads asking to bring options back. 2K does a good job with giving us options so I will be shocked if by 2K15 you guys dont have the option of turning the extra stuff off. They were building this mode for year one of next gen so im not surprised we are missing options we previously had. I agree with you on the AI part, it will either make or completely break this mode.

# 59 guiba28 @ 11/08/13 05:06 PM

I really like the idea of the mode. Stiil, it wont be THAT good this year because it is the first time but i think it can become great in the next few years. That being said, they should keep regular Association mode for people that arent interested in the depth this game mode gives and want to play a simpler one.
