MyGM Screenshots & Details

[Andrew]

I get that they want to do something different, but that's just silly for such a basic function. Granted, it's MyGM and not MyCOACH, but you're still playing the games, which means you do somewhat assume the role of the head coach as part of the mode, not completely like Association. It's puzzling that they'd make such basic functionality of roster management something you need to get an upgrade to perform.

Blaming Leftos for this VC required lock down of a basic function is much easier.

Oh, man... talk about taking this VC bullshit way too far. This is just sad.

you could get rid of players you dont want starting i guess

But if you can't change your rotation without a VC upgrade, can you trade/release players without one?

It really doesn't matter if this upgrade is easy to get. If you can't do such fundamental, basic things without buying some retarded upgrades, this clearly means it's just the tip of the iceberg. Association remained the only major mode that wasn't flooded with VC which is probably why it's gone and probably why it was getting ignored lately. In the new franchise mode, you apparently can't do a thing without a mountain of VC - everybody's wet dream has come true.

A few years down the line, taking a shot, throwing a pass, calling a timeout or viewing the roster will probably require VC as well, even if it sounds like a dumb exaggeration now.

Assuming the next gen version makes its way to PC sometime, it means MyGM will most likely be another mode that presents you with a choice of an extremely tedious grind or using Cheat Engine, both of those options kinda ruining the fun in their own way. Being mostly an Association guy, this makes me feel strangely good about being stuck with a supposedly inferior product for at least another year. In the highly flawed (for the longest time) Association, at least I don't need to buy an ability to change my rotation or any other functions the mode has.

Spree#8, I was joking in that quote

I know, I just used that quote to further emphasize my point. Probably should have made it more clear.

So Rotations require a Level 1 Coaching Attribute
Total Sim Control and Play Assignment is free
It costs 500 VC to get that 1 attribute. Each additional level's benefits are new to the game. I believe you start out with 1,000 VC too, so you won't need to play anything, and I think you get a discount if you choose to be a coaching specialist.

If your answer to "can you fix AI drafting and roster management" is "hey, we have this great new mode where you can set hot dog prices", then don't be surprised when some people make sarcastic comments.

People get a sense when something is slippery. They try to grasp it, but their fingers can't find a purchase. It's as if that something exists partially in another, untouchable dimension.

Frankly, that's what MyGM and the official answers to questions/concerns about the mode feel like.

People like a mode. There are some bugs/glitches/issues with it. They send in wish lists for fixes for the next game version. Then next year comes. "Hey, was it fixed?' The answer is "Check out the new graphics" or "Now you can hear players give post game interviews" (taken from games that have nothing to do with the game you just played, or "There's an all new mode that includes conversations with the owner!" That didn't answer the question or address the concern about the bug/glitch/issue.

Instead of fixing a few issues with a mode people liked, you created a new mode. Then you won't even answer if the bugs from the previous mode still exist in the new mode. Not only won't you answer the questions, you pretend they weren't asked.

fjccommish, is that directed to me or 2K?

If towards me, I haven't spent enough time with mode to know what is broken or not, just enough to find answers for people and make a snarky remark here or there.

I just want this mode for PC... cause I can't aford a next gen console... so I really truly hope it comes to pc in 2k15 or ps3/xbox360.
