all i have to say is..since they are trying introduce "the masses in the online world". i hope one day they fix the servers and improve online overall...with that being said im careless about the mode, i just hope this mode bring some online improvements for the next 2kgame.

Good stuff. I might, repeat, MIGHT give this a go.

In Public Associations, a vote can be requested to have a player kicked from an Association in which he/she has exhibited questionable behavior. In Private Associations, the commissioner has the ability to remove a player from his/her league at any time. We know you all take your online leagues seriously, so it was important for us to provide you with the tools you need to maintain these leagues over a period of multiple seasons.

That's a welcome feature, from an outsider perspective I mean.

But it raises a satellite question of just how many females play this game online anyway? Can't imagine it's a large amount.

And by "On the move" insight I assume that's all about The Move functionality, right?

Really wish they would have fine tuned the offline before they tried to take it online.

I would be surprised if Public league are any successful from a "sim" point of view, but it seems like this system is perfect for private leagues if you're playing with friends or a community you're familiar with and can coordinate well with.

On a side note, can you upload draft classes to online associations (by the commish, I'd assume), or are you stuck with the generated ones?

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #13 - Online Assocation

So, no information at all about Association mode improvements?? Absolutely nothing..

WOW

I think the biggest issues with offline were just the need for AI improvement (something they've gotten better at every year), and I'm sure they've worked on that as well.

In theory, online associations would have significantly less AI interaction (although still plenty, such as Free Agency for example) unless you're playing in a league with a lot of other CPU teams.

I'm sold! This is going to be awesome. I love the flex scheduling feature and the fact that inuries occur in number of games and not "real time".

I can't wait for Tuesday!!!!!

I'm typically an offline guy.

But this sounds pretty cool and I may give it a go once I get my XBL services.

Did OP make a new account just to post this? I think he did. Way too perfect

I'm stoked for this mode.

There's actually alot of things that needs to be fine tuned in that mode and AI isn't really at the top anymore because it arguably was great last year.

With that said, casual gamer would probably want a simple association (just play in a organized 82 game season with FA/draft and playoffs)
So some of the things they could have fine tuned (if they didn't this year) like chemistry, player roles and etc wouldn't really matter online, so yes I agree with you somewhat.
