exactly the same way I feel friend

So stoked for this....I'm certain the rest of the OS vets feel the same way.

I read that and I still don't know if I can play a season/franchise/association (or what ever) with just one other human player and still play a 82 game schedule with cpu simmed results of the games we choose not to play.

ALL MEN ME IN MY CREW HAVE 900+ Ws and would have liked to keep our name going on i dont care about the hackers because half of them dont know how to even use their player n the expoilteirs can be stopped not,impossible if you got the right team and also they just hack on xbox not psn. P.s. Im good pg/sg and also can play sf and C

How is it possible that you're a good PG/SG and can play SF AND C??

I am Noob to this site as of 5 min ago. i dont know what the initiation is but hope its not too harsh. I have been reading the updates on 2k12 everday now for a while so i figured i would join. I absolutely loved 2k11 and still do i play everday since i got it last xmas. that being said i am psyched and cant wait til tuesday reading all posts. i haven't had the chance to play the demo so i am hoping the game lives up to the hype. i absolutely love the online association idea they are implementing this year. needless to say ill be standing in line at gamestop midnight on monday.

That insight essentially was just a ton of words/writing to say 2k12 has an Online Association mode, but the only differences from it and 2k11's Association are the ability for other players to reject team to team trades, and that it's played with multiple human players instead of just the CPU...theres literally ZERO improvements made to the actual Association mode in general. They didn't even bother mentioning it...thats freaking unacceptable. An entire year...and 2k doesn't even TOUCH offline Association at all.

My question is if I start the online franchise, with 1 other person, do we have to play our team schedule against the cpu? Can I invite the friend to play against me? It's much better having a human opponent for every game, not when our respective teams meet during the season.
