I like how u said game looks exactly like the trailer. The removal of features won't stop me from buying , it's really a new game.

Great article, you are spot on with 30 team control. The CPU logic better be much improved to justify taking it out.

The player emotions look great, something every sports games need and I think that will blow us away.

I didn't know season and playoffs were removed too. Sometimes I just like simming a season or the playoffs for the hell of it to see who wins the championship. Sometimes I make hypothetical or impossible trades and do the same thing. Oh well, I can do without it.

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

Of course, all feelings and thoughts are subject to change drastically as more information is released, but at this point I'm not sure I'm liking what I've heard about MyGM thus far. It still kind of sounds like a MyPlayer mode but from the perspective of a general manager. I don't really want to have my fictional MyPlayer running my Association. Typically, I like my Associations to have a realistic base and I feel as though a few of these additions (and subtractions) might threaten that.

Further, I bet there'll be a lot of cool aspects to MyPlayer/MyCareer but I'm also cautious about all the cut scenes. Again, before I liked kind of creating my own reality, largely based... in reality. The storylines with the trash talking between rivals and whatever else will likely be in store kind of feels like I'm being forced into playing an RPG game I might not actually have interest in. I'd still like to see a MyPlayer mode that slipped back toward reality (Summer League, D-League, less manufactured drama).

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

Great impressions! Pretty much describes exactly how I feel about the game right now. I am still hyped, but the lack of 30 team control took it down several levels. It is so frustrating that we have to go through this again after Madden last year.

Edit: Crap, I did not realize playoff mode is out too. Man that is even more deflating. Really disappointed with the features right now.

Wow can't believe 2k removed custom music, season mode and association mode. I'm kind of torn right now, the new features are great but why remove/strip down features?? Hopefully the classic teams are still in and maybe 2k added lobbies back in for online play. Hope 2k will possibly patch back in custom music or season mode.

Im kind of nervous about the info of mygm so far too. I just dont want it to focus to much on the gm side of the NBA and the actual playing the game side is just an after thought. Hearing that the GM has attributes I hope that doesnt mean as long as you have a high rated GM your team will win games automatically when simulating no matter the type of roster you have. Hopefully things like that wont be an issue.

I hated the old one we have now you play your rookie season get every endorsement's , next win a championship...THEN WHAT? boring to keep playing on without anything new at all

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

While I'm a little upset that they took out season mode I'm really excited for MyGM. Can't wait to find out some of the core features of the mode in the upcoming days.

**MarkWilliam** · 10-24-2013, 10:42 AM

I personally enjoyed quick games for a fun feel of different players/teams...... and SEASON MODE! Quite devastated this is gone..... I know how the offline Assoc. people feel now..... sucky!

"Some of us just want to play or watch any game. "

Does this comment confirm that Gamepass is out & you can only play your teams games?

Re: NBA 2K14: Next-Gen Hands-On Impressions

"There is no longer a huge difference between how a real NBA player looks and a created player/my player looks. I've played 3 next gen games at this point (NBA, FIFA and Knack) and 2k clearly has the best looking game on next gen."

"The first one is your agent informing you that you have been invited to the Draft Showcase. The second one is your rival approaches you before the DS and talks a little trash. After that conversation, you agent asks you how you felt about the trash talk and you are given the choice of getting emotional or letting it go. Finally, your DS coach approaches you in the locker room and attempts to motivate you before the game. MyPLAYER on next-gen is much more immersive and I'm excited about giving it a run."

Come on Nov 15th!!!

Not confirmed but I don't think that it's in based on the tone of comments I received from devs.
