NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #13 - Online Assocation

[boxboy99]

I wonder if there will be any sim only leagues. I think it would be fun to be in a pretty full league where you just act as a GM and make deals with real people instead of the AI.

There is NO Crew mode in NBA 2K12! Dang man, this is the only thing people care about. I played 600 games in my Crew and I really don't even mind that Crew is being taken out. Too many hackers, too many people not showing players, and too many exploiters (Hop Step, Pump Fake, etc).

I am HYPED......that is all.

SWEET. AWESOME integration, I'm really gonna enjoy this. BUT, what about offline? I don't know if they're gonna come out with a DI on that. I love playing in Association Mode offline, it's awesome in 2k. I wonder if they improved on it...

Well if u have friends or family who play this game then this is easily the best thing to happen to sports video games since the analog stick!!! I have 5 buddy's who are all about to join me in a NBA utopia where we get to pretend to be g.m. And superstars simultaneously! If that does not excite u, then u either don't like basketball or don't have friends. In either case, my player mode sounds like your 2ktopia. Have fun with that, but please chill with the negative Nancy responses. Sheesh

For that matter, there are plenty of OSers that play together. And I honestly think it's silly for folks to ask if the offline component was touched. Do folks think offline and online Association modes are mutually exclusive?

I don't want to have to find other people that might quit after a day because they didn't get the team they wanted. That's what I hated about league.

It's already confirmed that you can have cpu controlled teams, so I assume you only need 2 persons to start an online association

What would be awesome is if you can take off the sorry guys and add the classic players to the bottom of the current rosters. Then have a user draft. Imagine the line ups there could be!!!!

It's interesting, but I think I'll always be one that doesn't "move with the times" as far as online sports games... I much prefer offline association (wish we could hear something about it, but I guess all association work went to online this year (understandably) so maybe next year they'll take another huge leap with offline.
