Continue on to check out a video of a user flipping through Onli...

NBA 2K13 Association Mode Details
For the second straight year Association mode in NBA 2K has taken a back seat to other initiatives. With NBA 2K13 the focus has shifted to developing MyTeam mode while continuing to build on MyCareer (previously known as MyPlayer).
