You might be right. It sounds like the idea was to be the best not only sports game to kick off next gen but to be the best next gen game of the year period.

All of this info is already starting to overwhelm me right now and if the game plays as good as it seems like its going to IDK....... All I gotta say is if you buy the game watch your axx b/c we could have some 2k snatch n run cases around this bish.

My problem isn't even the fact that I cant control the league. Its just that playing offline association with my roommates is really the only thing I/we do. And without multi-team theres really not a reason for me to get the game despite how amazing everything else looks/sounds.

Single player things don't appeal to me at all.

Not having that would be kind of horrible.

My custom music setup is almost exactly like Oracle Arena. Correct hype music, correct tipoff, correct motivational tracks, everything. Figured out the track list from broadcasts and going to games through the year. That's a huge blow to look and feel.

I agree man. I rarely find my desires in line with 2ks marketing team.

Crazy part is this is probably not everything so consider also that they have a little bit more to say, and not much time to say and show.

A lot of trades and signings happen that people consider "unrealistic" and those people would rather have a choice of allowing those trades to go through or not.

OHH ok thank you for taking the time to explain that to me!! Yea anytime I have ever played franchise in my entire life I always let trades happen as they do so that means absolutely nothing to me!

And if we are all to act reasonable ad locially after everything revealed today.. I would think trade logic and all that other stuff by the CPU will be more advanced... you guys gotta stop thinking current gen or 5 years ago and embrace the next gen change.. or just love current gen and play that lol

So can you do multiplayer MyGM through online? Or is there no way to do any type of multiplayer seasons anymore?

# 267 KSOR24 @ 10/23/13 06:23 PM

This all sounds incredible, but any news on the CAP system? I just read that Kinect face scanning will not be in, but I'm not sure how credible this is. Believe it or not, some sort of face scanning integration or even a type of Game Face like EA has is a must for me and a deal breaker if it is not in the game.

Probably will be, but I'm going to miss screwing teams over like RL, controlling every event and basically creating a story. My 2K13 association was a 30-team controlled association where it had had the Kings move to Seattle, Cleveland rising, Miami getting screwed, and I managed everything around single thing.

It's just boring that I have to use myGM and choose a team. I want to create an elaborate story and also at the very least get the right future picks to the right teams before I start.

....and this is exactly what I mean. Everybody wanting everything in a 1st year iteration.

Dudes want a new engine, everything and more from the last time, and they want all of the bells and whistles too, along with a current gen game, all in what 9 months, with no bugs and every mode from the last 4 years.

This is exactly what im talking about. Its just ultra unrealistic to have it all at this point in time.

Are you for real?

Who the hell would port a game over to a next-gen console? First off all you need to release a really good, impressive launch title if you don't, you are making a huge mistake and make a fool out of yourself.

Secondly, you got a new system with hardware that is so much more advanced and better. Why would you port it over? You practically HAVE to start from scratch, because the end result will be satisfying for everyone involved, especially the end user. You can do so much more. Why hold back?

Yikes, that's kind of harsh, no? There's been talks about adaptive A.I. and coaching tactics for years and it's never been perfect. My guess is the next gen will offer another level of adaptive A.I. and coaching tactics but I'm still not sure if I'm ready to assume rotations and draft choices are going to be great now.

Further, I feel as though disabling trades is not solving the problem many folks have. Player movement in and of itself is a very realistic part of an NBA season. However, the player movement 2K has showcased in the past has been questionable at best (i.e. the Cavs acquiring Chris Paul to backup Kyrie Irving at point).

Again, it is to be assumed that logic will receive a boost. But it can also be assumed it'll likely still have its pocks. As such, the inability to control all teams removes the ability for many gamers to create the authentic experience they're looking for.

The world isn't ending, but the "you people" line seemed like a little much for folks bummed about the possible absence of something they very much valued.

Thank you sir. Honestly appreciate it. Now that I see the link, I remember it. I must have assumed he was referring to current generation 2K14.

Trust me man I feel you, I really do. Some of you guys really go in depth with this 30 team control. I myself enjoyed reading some of the stories.

I just think guys are being a bit too critical on the outset without giving this mode a chance. I promise you guys will really enjoy this mode if you give it a try.

Yeah, no custom music will make me sad. I wonder if it's even possible on the new systems?

Other than that, I'm pumped for 2K. Definitely preordering. Makes me sad they can't do an NFL game...

HOW IN THE WORLD R CATS BASHING THE OTHER GAME AS IF IT WON'T BENEFIT EVERYONE EITHER IS GOOD. I just want a good game. 2k me ruined some things I really care fir (GM) but the new engine is a good thing too. Both look promising. It's suck if their both good. Like having more friends on XBOX n u play PS. PEACE. Just keep that ish real, n stop fronting over these games. No one is getting paid to bash. Bash these cats if they don't show n prove. 2k too.

Im not going to warn you again, stay out of this thread talking about nothing other than this event.

I think they assumed most were smart enough to make the connection and didn't need to have every single thing spelled out for them.

Kinda sad too. They [seem to have] went WAY above and beyond what most people would've expected from a first time next gen effort - especially when considering they did a somewhat beefy current-gen release in the same year. But we're going to spend a ton of time having to listen to people complain/emphasize the few things they didn't like versus giving credit for the avalanche of things that sounded good. The nature of the sports hardcore sports gamer I guess.

They actually improved way more than I expected

ergh i know... it's so frustrating...

i'll be back in a month with my impressions... pics of your hat-eating if i don't like it..

They really should have an NBA Live Rewind-like feature for that. I'd love a season mode that's synced to the real games and association, except you have control of your actual games.

I'd also like MyGM to be able to be synced to real teams in terms of trades as much as possible until you start trading as an option.
