Fair question.

From my perspective, I love being able to play with rosters that are the same as the real NBA. When controlling 30 teams I can sign/trade to reflect what is actually happening.

I dont want to let the AI decide that the Clippers need another PG and trade for Jrue Holiday.

This type of stuff plagues 2K AI logic

News keeps getting better and better. This developer diary answered all the questions/requests I had about the mode and more and should keep many people happy despite the removal of multi-team association.

I personally love that retired players and assistants can now be hired as head coaches. Haven't seen that since the PS2/Xbox versions of Madden's Owner Mode. Great addition that adds a ton of immersion to the game, not to mention something I wanted to see for a while in Association.

Some of the negativity around the forums is mindboggling. God forbid a development team wants to change something up. With that being said, you probably could be able to automate or skip past most of the options and still play "normally". I, on the other hand, love this new direction and am genuinely interested in trying it out.

Just quickly skimmed over the writeup before leaving work. Everything sounds amazing.

I do have to questions though that I may have missed.

1) Is there real life draft order in? (example will Boston have Brooklyn's 1st round draft picks for the next 3 years)

2) Is the ability to intervene in games in?

Lol you know the mode is doing something when people are complaining that it's TOO IN-DEPTH. Looking forward to this mode and game in general. And to think they haven't even discussed MyCareer or Park yet.

Didn't see this mentioned, does anyone know if Couch Co-op is available in the myGM mode? The mode sounds great, just want to be able to play on a team with my friends in a franchise setting (not single games or single seasons)

Ok that makes sense. If ppl want to reflect real world tradescamd signings I can understand the gripes I didn't think of that.

But I think ppl should be happy 2k is trying something new. Remember when 2k had summer league and training camp and d league, people complained it was too time consuming and 2k axed it. Now alot of people want it back in next Gen.

Thanks, Erick! Sounds awesome, glad 2k still supports having a great franchise mode for single player gamers. Sounds like your team did a great job, can't wait to play it. Seriously might not purchase as many games as I originally anticipated, in order to devote proper time to this mode. :-)

Mode sounds amazing can't wait to play it. I always only control one team in my association's so that is not a problem for me. I hope that the AI logic for the other teams is good, because it seems like most people use the 30 team control because of the terrible logic of the AI. I think it is great that they still kept the season mode for those who just want to play through a season and not worry about all the other stuff. Can't wait until next Friday!!!
