NDL Forum

Just picked up 2K13 this past weekend. I've seen enough montage videos to remind me that I love this game and that I shouldn't have a good reason not to be playing right now.

I plan on messing around with it in the coming weeks before making it my primary sports game after this last NDL season.

Do we have league going on in here?

no.

not sure many picked it up this year

I'll be picking it up as soon as my NDL bowl game is played.

have it and love it....if we do want to throw something together for after NDL season I would for sure be interested and help out anyone run it.

first thing would be to find out the structure of the online association and trying to remember what the issue was with last year and see if we have that same issue

any interest in a test league to see what is up?

Live gameplay has always been WHACK! 2k even back on their ncaa games has always been better

I'll have some bandwidth next week while I'm home for the holidays. I know in the past there were a ton of little quirks that made running a league difficult. Maybe we can uncover them then -

Whether it's running a league or setting up a Club (does 2k even do this?) I'm pumped to get back into basketball.

the problem last year with association was in the timed advances. the "commishes" couldnt control when advances happened. although i am pretty sure there were reports of crashes when advancing one season to the next.

just a heads up on things to look for

Yah it forced (automatically) advanced itself every how ever many hours. So unplayed games got simmed. Kind of annoying but it kept things moving at a very rapid pace.

yeah, but if i remember right there was a huge spread.....so it was like every 12 hours or every 4 days


something wierd like that

+1 it was something like that lol like why would it be hours one time and days the next? Bizzare...

Good stuff to know. The "league" formats have never been very clean year to year as bugs or flaws always seem to crop up.

Has there been any positive feedback from Online features built in this year's game?

in regards to gameplay or leagues and setup?

gameplay online is smooth and i enjoy it as much as ever.

Okay thats a start. At least gameplay is smooth ha

As for other features, I guess it's long overdue for me to just play and see whats out there -

Things I'm looking for:

1) League Opportunities (e.g. how many people in league? # of games to play? Dynasty format? Continous seasons with rookies brought in?)
2) My Player Opportunities (e.g. can you use your custom guy online at all? if so then where?)
3) Club Play (e.g. NBA Live had an awesome feature years ago where guys could just join a squad, then play pick up games against other people)

club play is there.

not 100% sure if you can make your own clubs or if its random. i'm fairly certain you can run with your crew, i've just never tried. i do the club play with randoms and i find it to be pretty fun, but its not FIFA quality... i like the game itself more.

no idea if you can use your guy online..... i'm not into that

i know if in the past you could do full leagues with every team. we never finished to know how the offseason works, plus when we had a good league it was a 'season' and not 'association' like it is now.
