You bring up my Career Mode, which is BASICALLY a CAP player, which you could make for Association Mode, but instead it is a MODE that takes up a TON of room on the Disc. Not bashing shoes or My Career, just making a point they arent REALLY necessary to make guys like myself but a game. Now adding Euroleague teams to a game would make me buy a game. For you to say it is a BACK of the BOX Feature is ridiculous. Adding EuroLeague teams makes the game MUCH better for TRUE basketball fans. I mean guys are always excited about what Euro players will be in the Draft, Most of the TOP Younger guys are on the TOP Euroleague teams. I think this addition TRULY makes this a GLOBAL Basketball Game.

But there is no information out to suggest that the Euroleague teams will be involved with Association in any way.

Also, elaborate on how the addition of these teams makes the game better for "true" basketball fans. If I don't follow the Euroleague, then I'm not a true basketball fan? I'd rather say it makes the game better for Euroleague fans.

This is a NBA game, with the focus on CURRENT NBA players. I'm not overly-excited that they added teams full of players I've never heard of (and the occasional former NBA player). That's no slight to those that do though. It'll be cool, maybe even as a change of pace, but unless it's integrated with Association, it doesn't move me.

No suggestion that it WONT be Association Mode either, we will have to wait for more info.

Do you have any idea how MANY ex Euroleague players are in the NBA? Euroleague teams are flooded with Younger guys who will be in NBA before long. As far as TRUE basketball fan statement, i mean a Global fan. You seem to be ALL about NBA and NBA is NOT the ONLY basketball Association in the World. I love the NBA, but i love watching FIBA and Euroleague basketball. It is Complete different brand of Basketball. As was proven when Team USA hit a rough patch in Early to Mid 2000s in FIBA play. 2k has realized there is MORE to basketball than the NBA and is Expanding its brand in an UNTAPPED market. Which is great because that will just bring in MORE Revenue, which will in turn mean MORE options for 2k Basketball games in the Future.

No. They're wearing the Under Armour Torches. They're already in 2K13.

And to say that "shoes don't make the player/video game" is basically giving an excuse for 2k to overlook roster accuracy, IMO. It's not about defining the 2k series, it's about making the game feel "complete" But this is sort of off-topic I think. It's just my opinion; I'd personally prefer if they actually utilize the shoes they put into the game.

Roster accuracy and shoes are totally different things. One thing has an impact on gameplay, the other you hardly notice.

Personally I like the EL teams are in and hope its integrated in association somehow. If not it will still be a decent feature to have. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I think it was only confirmed that Live will feature legends which makes it seem likely they will have classic teams but for all we know could mean decade all stars or something like that. I doubt it but it's still not "confirmed". Unless there is some news I'm not aware of.

Will there be euro league rules in the game? I wonder if their 3 point line will be a little closer like in real life...

That means also possible mods for College Basketball. Oh man the possibilities.

This looks great but I hope it doesn't interfere with the other things on the game.
