that ship has sailed. Next Gen is a week away so they're no longer worried about hyping up current gen. If you aren't going to get Next Gen at this point then you already know what current gen is offering. But don't think that at this point they are holding back in hopes of generating a few extra current gen sales.

Uh, no. It DOES matter.

For some people (and by some I mean probably a lot), how 2k14 looks, plays, etc. will determine where $500+ dollars goes. Especially on a site in which it's members value simulation, realistic, and straight-up gameplay. Trailers are nice, they get you hyped, but at some point, most people want to see the final product before they decide to drop money on it.

And satisfaction is subjective. So yeah, some are gonna have unrealistic ideas of what satisfies them. But I'm sure some, if not most, of the guys waiting anxiously for 2k (and next-gen sports gaming in general) are simply waiting to see straight up gameplay, so we know what we're getting into and what to expect.

It's a major negative for me. I would much rather have control over all 30 teams. If I want to make moves to replicate real life, I can. If I want to edit anybody in the game, I can. If I want to play as any team in the game, I can. To me that is much more important than sitting in front of my fake owner listening to him demand fake goals that may or may not fit with how I want to really run my team. If they want to have something like this whatever, but not at the expense of taking away control from the user. I hated when Madden did the same thing and they saw the backlash and got smart and changed it the next year to give control back. Hopefully 2k does the same thing.

No no. I meant people are saying that your statement is complaining. I agree with you 100%. This mode should be an improvement not a subtraction to things that make a franchise mode entertaining to everyone in individual ways

Lol this is a video game, everything is fake. But I do agree with you on the 30 team control although probably not for the same reasons. I just want to be able to play it with my friends, being able to compete with them, trying to keep our jobs, persuading their players to join my team come offseason, even negotiating with them. That would be awsome.

And plus they said they have a season mode so you won't have to do this if you don't want.

The assumptions people are making off of this one screen are kind of absurd. Assuming it is not "in-depth" because of one screen showing one question asked is a bit premature IMO.

I love the direction this series is going with MyGM and hope that it is good enough to make me love playing offline again other than My player.

I feel for the 30-team users, but to be honest, that is a niche feature, that I would assume most people don't care for. Don't be scared of change. This might be the greatest feature 2k has ever added for all we know. If it sucks, it sucks and that's fine too. People will rebel against it and they'll bring back a more traditional Association.

Let's see how this plays out.

I don't understand some of you. You have been begging for information about the Next-Gen version of this game and now that it is finally here, there is nothing but complaining about what was provided.

Personally, I am excited about what is coming up! With the new systems, I can't wait to see what happens in the coming years.

I dunno man. Someone who is making their next-gen purchase based on one game would seem to making a hasty decision anyways.

Current-gen sales definitely affect the news we receive. How many people that own current-gen systems will be getting XB1/PS4 right at launch? I doubt even 10%. Many of us want next gen, but can't afford it right at launch. They have to play both sides right now.
