I usually play the marquee games and against big rivals, all in all ends up being like 20-25 games I play. Then I play every game of the playoffs. The FAs signing with random small market teams is annoying but at least LeBron signed with the Lakers (Go Lakers!!!!) haha You playing on PS4? Also what upgrades have you done to your MyGM, do you plan on buying the franchise?

I played all the games. I generally can get in two games per day (three if I'm feeling sassy! ).

Yes, I'm on the PS4, playing without any patches.

My team stats on All-Star look pretty good, but after viewing my Playoff numbers I felt compelled to make some hopefully "final" slider tweaks for the upcoming year (mainly, I still gave up around 9 steals per game and neither team was getting quite enough offensive boards...about 9 a piece).

I also had to raise CPU blocks a few weeks ago but doing so pretty much eliminated my inside game so I decided to bring it back closer to Default. Just to note here, I hate sliders so my changes are pretty mild. It's crazy how very realistic this game plays out of the box. At least to me being a casual real life NBA fan.

I've upgraded quite a bit. I have the three star restaurant and the escalator thing I think. I'd say I've upgraded the business side around 50% of what's available.

I used a ton of VC for training camps, and also pretty much give in to all coach VC spending requests when reasonable.

At the moment I plan on just playing all the games. At least until The Show or some other time killing contender comes into play. PS4's a little light on games that interest me right now.

Oh. Forgot the 'buying the franchise thing.'

Ideally, yes. But it would take several years. I had 12,000 VC saved up and now have around 3,000 after allotting it to priority purchases during the offseason.

I wonder what it's like being owner though. Has anybody done it yet?

I think I'm gonna roll with the Lakers and try to snag LBJ, and bring the Lakers back to relevance in the West!

No you don't earn A LOT more VC in MyGm than in MyCareer, you actually earn more in MyCareer...actually I should rephrase that. If you play on Superstar or HOF in MyCareer you can earn a decent amount of VC. On HOF, 10,000 VC might take 5-6 games I'd say. So it's definitely doable, the longer the quarter length you play on in MyGM, the more VC you earn per game.

Okay, so this has been an unmitigated disaster.

L, 86-77
L, 106-97
L, 121-93
L, 126-96
L, 106-87
L, 117-90
L, 116-74
L, 109-77
L, 100-85



Dat feel when a 15-point loss to Milwaukee is a moral victory.

6-13 overall

Infuriating at times, but I remain strong. We will right this ship.

Now I don't feel so bad. LOL!

Are those injuries for real? My goodness! You have to be pretty much a Summer League team right now! Have you made any trades or acquired any talent to get you through at all?

You sir, are a trooper. This is what sim is all about; taking your punches like a man. I salute you!

So 30 games into the season I decided to go for some coaching upgrades to get a better medical center (requires coaching and training lvl 10) So after spending 10000 VC on upgrading my GM I went to look at my roster and.. WTF??? suddenly all my players ratings are up by 10 points?? How did this happen?? This is reeeally frustrating because the biggest reason I loved this hawks GM is because they had just a mediocre team. and with that we are now the 2nd best team overall. Does this have anything to do with the coaching upgrade that said 'negative influences on player morale are reduced by 50%'? And if so, is there any way to get the normal ratings back?

Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to get there ratings back to normal. Not that I know if anyway...

The same thing happened to me in MyGm with the Celtics. I'm in the second season and didn't really sign any significant players in the off-season, yet since all my players got a boost my team overall is 87 (tied for the top team in the East). The good thing is that even with all of that, I'm still losing games, as I've started the season 2-4.

Most of the upgrades that I have yet to purchase seem somewhat cheesy, so I'm holding off on them. Call me old fashion but, I don't want my players playing well above their ratings, I want them to have to deal with injuries and low morale, etc. Also I don't want the ability to trick players or other GM's into taking less money or making bad deals.

As much as I don't like VC and think it is somewhat silly to have to do this... my advice is to download the 2k app and use it to gain VC. Between the Daily VC Bonus and the Pick and Win game I usually get anywhere from 1200 to 2000 VC a day. Plus if you play one game then you're getting another 900 or so.

Currently I'm just sitting on 50,000+ VC because, like I said earlier, I don't want some of the cheesy abilities. There's actually still some abilities that I could probably use, but I'm afraid that if I get them that it will give my player even more of a boost. And I don't want that.

I hope they're toned down or at least explained better in 2k15.

Great post!

Question: Does the CPU upgrade their own facilities/Trading skills/Morale boosts/etc?

I know without 30 team control it's probably impossible to tell, but I kind of assumed they did these things too (hence, spending VC didn't feel like cheating to me).

Anyone know if the CPU upgrades in a similar fashion as the VC holding user?

Has anyone purchased a franchise yet?
