Any improvement ?

I know franchise mode was not on the feature calendar list which makes me disappointed but does anybody at least think if they’re going to touch anything I mean absolutely anything on franchise mode ? Or is it just literally going to be a copy and paste ?

I think March 17 is a feature reveal stream on March to October, so I'm hoping we might get some news related to Franchise mode, since MTO is basically a streamlined version of that mode anyway.

My suspicion is that they ended up merging the modes altogether and making MTO just stuff you can toggle on/off within that mode

Oh [censored] bro I think March to October is dumb it’s like franchise just you don’t get to play full games nor control your team. I think they need to make a GM mode something similar to 2K franchise/GM mode that’s what we need

I mean if you played the older NBA2K games, it really took a while for Association in NBA2K to evolve into myLeague/GM/NBA, because there's a lot of data and CPU logic within those modes that need to all work well and interact with each other.

I also don't think MTO as a mode is dumb. It serves a pretty good purpose since it's grown to be a more condensed version of Franchise mode if you don't want to sink a ton of time being a full on GM but still want to be invested in what happens over the course of a season with your team.

It also helps that since both MTO/Franchise use the same...base? foundation? So you could carry that team into Franchise mode when you finish the first season out and take full control of the team seamlessly. This is why both of the modes go hand in hand with feature reveals whenever they talk about changes, because one mode indirectly improves the other.

There's plenty of people who would love to do a full blown franchise but simply don't have the time to commit to a full 162 game season and then the playoffs if you make it, and there's other people who would like to play a franchise but with DD being so time consuming with things to do, they never really get the chance to do that. March to October allows both of those groups of people to enjoy the game in a pickup-and-play way that works well and the rewards system it currently has (which I hope changes this year) keeps people invested because the mode puts you in games and events that matter.
