I very much appreciate 2k getting this info to us when they had no concret plans to do anything like this and I'm sure they're busy making the game but that is a damn good question.

I mean this isn't too heavy in terms of detail or anything and we got it a week before launch sooo I'm guessing getting info and insights approved and rubber stamped must be a super hectic process for the markting guys.

Disappointing.

This might work. My biggest gripe with Association was the stuff "under the hood", this wasn't a car that needed a paint job, this is a car in need of an oil change, we gotta get behind the wheel to notice any changes. If 2k is true to their bullet points, this could be a big improvement. When I saw the brevity if that "insight", my first reaction was rage. But, taking a step back and looking at the big picture, improving logic and team building was my main criticism.

This was released by the 2K Producer, Erick Boenisch, on a Tumblr BLOG. What super hectic process? We got more detail about this from an interview Erick did last week. They shouldn't have bothered with this.

My first reaction when I saw the various improved logics was atleast they're saying they attempted it and the smaller fixes interest me hopefully they added the ability to edit age back and fixed the draft class freeze glitch.

Totally agree! I look at any additional perks as icing on the cake. What I, and I think a majority of the users on this forum are looking for is a stable, fun, and statistically sound association mode. Let us run 5+ seasons deep and get realistic results.

I'm willing to give 2K another shot at gaining our trust and hoping that they stay true to their word. We've been burned before but I am hoping that the 2K crew can establish a strong bond with the 'association' community. We're gamers too!

LD2K said in the other thread that they had to get approvals to release it that's what I was referring too.

But least we have it direct from 2k that they attempted to improve these things specifically the bugs

Also did anyone notice that in the thread from the guy who got to play it early he said Association looked the same yet 2k says the NBA.com come screen has been revamped? So I'm guessing it looks simliar just more clickables on the homepage?

They needed to clean up stuff before adding more stuff to it. I hope they were successful in fixing those issues we've been pointing out.

That's what I like to believe.
