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.

Ok that makes sense. If ppl want to reflect real world tradescamd signings I can understand the gripes I didn't think of that.

But I think ppl should be happy 2k is trying something new. Remember when 2k had summer league and training camp and d league, people complained it was too time consuming and 2k axed it. Now alot of people want it back in next Gen.

Thanks, Erick! Sounds awesome, glad 2k still supports having a great franchise mode for single player gamers. Sounds like your team did a great job, can't wait to play it. Seriously might not purchase as many games as I originally anticipated, in order to devote proper time to this mode. :-)

Mode sounds amazing can't wait to play it. I always only control one team in my association's so that is not a problem for me. I hope that the AI logic for the other teams is good, because it seems like most people use the 30 team control because of the terrible logic of the AI. I think it is great that they still kept the season mode for those who just want to play through a season and not worry about all the other stuff. Can't wait until next Friday!!!

Brehs...

# 85 SavoyPrime @ 11/08/13 06:51 PM

Can some of this stuff be turned off? Some of the elements sound good, but some of the stuff I honestly don't want to bother with. I guess I need to stick with current-gen 2K14 huh?

I'm only halfway through and haven't read any of the the thread yet but YES!!! Assistant coaches can finally be hired and promoted!! Players can become coaches!!!

# 87 Gramps91 @ 11/08/13 06:57 PM

wow, this stuff looks great, I hope it isn't to hard though lol.

I also hope it works as advertised.

# 88 NDiLeo25 @ 11/08/13 06:57 PM

Im not sure if this has been answered but in MYGM mode can you shorten the games in the season as you can in current Franchise mode?

# 89 Optik @ 11/08/13 06:59 PM

For what supposed to be a detailed mode, it's quite weird that they tell you what's going to happen when you're choosing options of what to say. You would think they would just let you figure it out yourself.

# 90 Melbournelad @ 11/08/13 07:02 PM

After now reading all of it, it was disappointing they made no mention of the broken sim engine or potential system.

# 91 NDAlum @ 11/08/13 07:05 PM

I absolutely love the depth.

I'm hoping that they give those who don't want the extras the opportunity to have the CPU take care of the stuff for them. Simple fix to the issue outside of giving us 30-team control.

Great point .. a few years into franchise mode in current gen it seemed like almost all young players improved at a ridiculous pace (of course some should but not as many). Teams would end up shooting unreal % from the field and scoring 120+ points per game because the overall offensive talent in the league spikes every year.

SimBaller, this is what i need answered as well. I hope that fact is wasn't mention is because that portion of the game was untouched. But when Madden introduced their Connected franchise, it was not part of their game and they had to patch it in months later.

Whatever you don't want to do, you can assign for your assistant GM to handle.

# 95 champsbasketball @ 11/08/13 07:49 PM

this mode seems like it's going to take some patients but I'm up for the challenge sounds fun

# 96 Jakeness23 @ 11/08/13 07:52 PM

I am absolutely speechless. If they somehow incorporated a way for my Bobcats to become the Hornets, I would faint right now, or if they had a legit create-a-team option so I could do it myself (but I suppose I can always wait for Hugo to come back next year). This game is going to be AMAZING!!! And I am so pumped that he wants to hear some constructive criticism too, that's what makes them the best in the business.

# 97 clipperfan811 @ 11/08/13 08:07 PM

Absolutely great write up, I'm ecstatic that we got such a detailed written Dev insight AND the fact that it was about such a intricate mode makes it all the better.

Without a doubt you guys at 2k have pumped out a system seller. I had this crazy idea that I could hold off until next year... I can't LOL

Great work and I just want to iterate that your hard work is appreciated and your passion for the game is clearly evident!

# 98 JoeDog10 @ 11/08/13 08:08 PM

I mean, this is just ridiculous. Wow.

With the once in a generation type rookie that was mentioned in the blog, do you think that will work for user created draft classes too (ie: Wiggins)?

# 99 lgxjames @ 11/08/13 08:36 PM

I mean all this is A1, Sounds like beautiful heaven...But...I'm still waiting on how scouting works...Anything on presentation? Draft? Does any of this get covered somehow in the MyCareer portion where it's a shared featured that hasn't been talked about yet???

# 100 vtcha @ 11/08/13 08:39 PM

Will I be able to choose the season length (i.e., 14, 29, 56 or 82) on MyGM mode (not just a single season)?
