How about for starters that I'm not blind, this dev team for the past 3 years either say they will release info on Asssoc. Mode and it has been underwhelming or they don't release info on Assoc. Mode and it's still underwhelming.

I'm sorry that I refuse to accept mediocrity when I've been supporting 2k for 14 years. Madden for the first time since 2007 brought back a legit Association Mode and also improved on it by including Connected Careers.

That blows 2k's Assoc. Mode out of the water. cthurt said it perfectly, I'm done with this just wait for it crap, either have a great Franchise Mode or I'm not buying. Even MyPlayer has been meh, a lot of potential but meh.

If I could sum up the Association it would be fairly simple, 2k gives us a oil change when we need a new transmission.

I agree. Im pretty frustrated with 2k after watching this video. What's ol buddy doing a fadeaway from 5 feet behind the 3 pt line anyway? And I thought the leaning lay up cheese was removed also? I wasn't trying to be an *** in my previous post. I guess I am just trying to be optimistic, as not too many OPers are about the CG 2k14

I think it looks very well made. Not much of a LeBron fan. Not sure if I'll try it. Kudos on making a great looking mode just doesn't excite me that much.

Underwhelming for your expectations?

So when was the last time 2K had a good Assoc mode in your opinion? Are you going to give them the same amount of time that you did Madden to come back with a 'legit' Assoc. mode? 6-7 years.

CCM still has major issues within it, just visit the Madden forum here and you'll see.

No one is forcing anyone to buy anything.

As for the oil change, ya I agree in premise, but not everyone can afford to buy a new tranmissions especially when the one they have isn't broken, just old and sometimes replacing the transmission in a 'old' car, doesn't make the car better necessarily... if your looking to buy a new car with a new transmission, new paint, new bells and whistles, just wait for Next Gen.

Yeah, I actually like the look of the gameplay. I haven't been able to watch the whole clip but from what I was able to see, it looked nice. All the gameplay additions you mentioned are pretty neat and whenever I get the game (likely when that real life NBA fix starts kicking), I'm thinking I'll be able to have a solid time with this release.

That said, I still understand the gripes. People can take things to the extreme a little (such as saying a game is completely fantastical with no real life base), but sometimes there's some truth in there somewhere. As it stands, I get it if the offline simulation/replication crowd feels a little left out on the feature front.

I mean, video games are inherently altogether fantasy. But I think there's a fair amount of folks who like trying to experience a fantasy that's at least loosely based in reality. And for NBA fans looking for that experience, MyTeam, MyPlayer, Crew, Online, and Path to Greatness is probably not going to provide a lot in that regard.

Is that it for Path to Greatness? No off the court presentation or anything? Cause I really don't see any reason to play this over Association mode.

It actually played out in the appropriate situation their, just hope it does not happen on fast breaks and open paths to basket.
