"I have no need to upgrade to next-gen.
Almost all the games are carbon copies of current gen but with stripped down options. The graphics aren't even that big of a jump up.

For years we've been hearing developers cry how the current hardware isn't enough to match their genius.
Well if the earliest games are any indication, the developers are the ones that have kept games from reaching the next level."

Disagree. But I do like that you were direct and honest statements without B.S>

How long did the developers have to work on Next Gen Games? 1 year , and learn new tools to work with.

Graphics and actual gameplay will be better than current gen. I hope and I believe that the Developers will improve gameplay throughout the year ( They made HUGE improvement on2k13 the last 4 months).

Playing against the Clippers. PF/C in MyCareer. Shot clock winding down, guarding DeAndre Jordan 17 ft away in the post. My AI teammate sags about 7 ft off of Chris Paul, giving him the open jumper and a high % look out of a bad possession. If this kind of nonsense is still in next gen, they just put cut scenes on top of an annoying experience.

I just watched and compare the current gen and next gen of 2k14 and i notice there are way too much sliding in the current gen. It seems like the next gen doesn't have any of that...so i suspect THAT in itself might have improved the game play somewhat.

"The takeaway you should have right now is MyGM is Association on steroids. Multi-user had to take a backseat for a minute while we rebuilt the entire foundation of how a franchise mode works. I assure you, this is all for the greater good. Leftos and I will make sure you're all happy at the end of the day."

Quit B.....itchen'. We will here more on MyGM and I for one am drinking the KOOLAIDE!

Now seriously, Leftos, make these videogame magicians (you included) know that the more customization options you give to the community, the happier they will be (you know this perfectly), and not the other way around!

interesting if these couldn't make it in this round. i wonder if the trade issues could be somehow integrated with the season/association/mycarrer mode without having to restart them over. quick thought. could these be handled like computer upgrades? i.e. when chrome updates, i have the new features, yet all my information is where i need it to be?

I swear I need clarification from 2k on this. What does "customize league" mean? I take it as you can add classic teams to your league. I can see others take it as you can edit other teams accessories, numbers etc. I hope it means both and not just the first.

If it is going by the same verbiage as current gen , then it would only confirm implementing classic teams...

I would like confirmation on the other stuff as well..

But isn't that assuming?
