I doubt it... I think (hope) they would have mentioned that. To me that is not that big of a deal.

Custom Sliders, Rosters are bigger than that.

Pretty sure its going to be 32 teams with however many users you can do.

@Maniac Matt

Why wouldn't you want all the teams in an association? I'm reasonably sure you can just sim the games against the computer if you really didn't want to play them (There was a game highlighted that was simmed).

IMO, you just don't get the full experience of association if you only have 14 teams...and every other team didn't exist...

After years of neglect and being treated as the veritable red headed step child of the 2K series, online league gamers have finally been rewarded with the mother-lode of all game modes in the ONLINE ASSOCIATION!

If you belong to a dedicated sim league that is guaranteed to finish with like minded sim ballers, words cannot describe the euphoria, the gratitude, and the sense of a promise fulfilled at long last by 2K.

Well done 2K!...I just hope the execution is as flawless as described in this insight.

I have to say, I caught myself feeling giddy on quite a few occasions while reading all this and I'm not even a huge online guy. This looks like it could be a ton of fun with the right group of guys.

I think a lot of people are putting off a "meh" attitude because we've pretty much known this was in for awhile. I don't agree with that and it goes to show you how spoiled most of us are but that's another topic.

If tomorrow's insight is just about the move compatibility for ps3 that's a tad bit of a letdown for it to be a Friday insight which typically have been bigger ones. Especially when we're still waiting to hear about improvements to offline association and non-association related online. I guess they're saving those for Monday and Tuesday to really build the hype.

In general terms though everything is sounding awesome.

Someone asked me a question that I couldn't answer.

Is there an web interface for the online association?

I would want an online league, with all human opponents, but to still have all the goodies of an association like multiple seasons, retirements, drafting rookies, etc.

& is it against cpu or actual humans?? Im still confused..
cause if its against cpu , then whats the difference between offline assoc & online?
