NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

Can someone explain to me the appeal of playing over a span of 80 years? Do people typically sim a majority of the games in this type of mode? I was never an association player but I might want to get into it. Can someone sell me on it?

Basically in 80 years you can make your own NBA universe. I sim some of it. I don't see how anyone wouldn't like to control a team.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

I got a number of PMs on this overnight, so I'll clarify.

You can edit players and player ratings at ANY time during the mode (regular season/playoffs/offseason/etc.). It's wide open in this regard.

How about the salary cap? Can we set it to a specific number or can we only have it on or off?

For example, if I want a salary cap of 80 million and 0 hard cap, can I do it?

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

I'll say this again because it keeps coming up... People thinking that all we did was turn a switch and bring back what was Association in the last generation are so mistaken it's not even funny. We've worked hard to add a plethora of new features which just like SimBaller said we'll be going over in future announcements, besides all the ones mentioned in the article (new injury system, per-opponent gameplan, new prospect scouting, customization sliders).

I hate using "smh", but when I see people saying "Oh so they just readded the gamemode that was removed, GOOD JOB 2K ...NOT" I shake my head.

Will there be any "trade demand" logic. For example, if a player has "play for winner" as their top priority (example, Kevin Love) and is on a losing team, can they demand a trade if the team isn't doing well?

NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

I like the customizable (re)additions but am more intrigued by what hasn't been announced yet. So far, I don't think there will be too much of a noticeable change from what Association Mode was on Xbox360 and PS3. Sure, the injuries addition add realism and the game planning is nice but on a grand scale, they won't be game-changers.

Did you not read the interview, or at least the first few pages of this thread? Yes, association mode has been reimplemented, but there are so many additions to the mode. Literally, if you wanted control over "X" aspect of the league/mode, now you have it! Even ignoring the things they've added, there are so many ways to customize every little aspect of the mode (trade difficulty, contract negotiation difficulty and non-financial player interests therein, etc) that it is completely crazy and ignorant to say "this is just the old association mode added back in".

People need to either improve their reading comprehension skills or learn to appreciate drastic changes/inclusions such as MyLEAGUE.

I hope we can put specific injuries to players during the season. Say edit Paul George and put in <type of injury> to missed <months>

Read (or at least skim) the interview. Yes, you have control over the salary cap

Again, read the interview. You can play or watch any game in MyLEAGUE.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

MyLeague sounds like everything I had in my head since I was 11 years old and first started playing Live. The only dream wants that I don't see listed are:

• Team Relocation
• Team creator(stadium creator as well)
• Jersey creator( a la Teambuilder but better) full customization from logo to name on front of jersey
• Gameface(a la what EA has but better)


Now announce the ability to pick you jersey in MyPlayer and this will go down as best NBA game ever.

I love how they took a page from NBA live 96 and added a Create-a-player feature

I love the idea of setting draft class quality and im soooo happy about the multi-user association.

IMA PRE MY PANTS THEN PRE THE GAME.

Awesome 2k knows how to put back stuff that were fan favorites, hope some "Other" Companies learn the same thing from something like this.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

Again, read the interview. You can play or watch any game in MyLEAGUE.

It doesn't say you can watch the games. It says you can 'play' all games you want. So question remains unanswered.

If we can’t control every team, can we at least play other teams games?
You can control every team. You can also play games of teams that you do not have control over. Again, we’ve created MyLEAGUE so that you control how you want to play.

I read it, but it doesn't seem very clear to me so I'm looking for clarification.

How can players customize the salary cap in their leagues?

"You can decide if to have the salary cap on or off, and if you choose to have it on, you can choose to have the Hard Cap On/Off as well.* You can even choose what that value is set to."

From the way it's written, it seems like you can see the hard cap value and not the salary cap value.

From what I understand you can put the salary cap on or off, and you can put the hard cap on or off, or you can set the value for the hard cap.

So if I'm reading this correctly, you can't change the salary cap value, but the hard cap value can be?

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

Have rotations been fixed so that you can have a:

Starters
Bench lineup
Defensive
Shooting

Etc

Also, have the rotations been fixed so that we can carry 13 and not 12 players into a game? I believe the nba fixed it 2 seasons ago so that teams can have 13 players active, but it was never fixed in 2k

Yeah this is true, I don't know if 2k has fixed this but it should be fixed if their following proper roster management protocol. I spoke on this early in the 2k14 cycle but I don't know if the implemented it yet.
