NBA 2K15 Official MyLEAGUE/MyGM Thread

Re: NBA 2K15 Official MyLEAGUE/MyGM Thread

About to head into the 2017-2018 season. Free agency was wild. I (Utah) lost my backup PG and super-sub Ty Lawson to the Lakers. Lawson wanted $10M from me, which I just couldn't do after giving Gobert $16M a year and Exum and Hood needing new contracts next season. He was great for me, but I couldn't afford him.

Chris Paul and Blake Griffin stayed in LAC after Paul declined a couple of contracts from the Clips. Nobody else really had the cap space for him. Kyle Lowry surprisingly went to Sacramento after the Kings traded DeMarcus Cousins to Minnesota for the 1st overall pick to take point guard Pierre Beaubois. Beaubois will be a combo guard off of the bench while Lowry looks to be the star of the show.

Lawson signed with the Lakers initially for $11M a year, but I changed his contract to be a bit more realistic. His contract is now 2 years for $8.4M. Lou Williams was in the same boat with Minnesota, but I changed his to 2 years/$9.75M.

Zach Randolph bolted from Detroit without playing a game for them due to injury, and signed a 1 year deal with Washington to be their backup big behind Cameron Black and Vladimir Semenko. Darren Collison signed with the upstart Sixers as their backup point for 2 years/$8.9M.

I signed Jimmer Fredette as my backup point guard behind Exum in a one-year deal. Looking forward to his three-point shooting off of the bench, while Burks can play more of a point guard off of the bench.

-----------

Made some trades at the start of the season since you can't trade in the offseason for some dumb reason (aside from the draft):

Sacramento trades SF Rudy Gay, PF Brandon Bass to Atlanta for PF Mike Scott, SF Luol Deng, and 2018 1st Round Pick (ATL)

New York trades PG Anthony Jones, 2019 2nd Round (NYK) to Dallas for PG Stephon O'Bryant, PF Johnny O'Bryant

Magic trade PF Kyle O'Quinn to Denver for 2018 2nd Round Pick (DEN)

Toronto trades SG DeMar DeRozan, PG Greivis Vasquez to Brooklyn for PG Deron Williams, SG Bojan Bogdanovic, 2019 1st Round Pick (BKN), 2021 1st Round Pick (BKN)

Toronto then waived Deron Williams.

Re: NBA 2K15 Official MyLEAGUE/MyGM Thread

I have two MyLeague questions:
What exactly does a coaches ratings do?

Do players earn badges as they progress during MyLeague?
If so is the criteria the same as it is for earning badges in MyCareer?

I guess that's three, but thanks in advance.

Re: NBA 2K15 Official MyLEAGUE/MyGM Thread

I was able to win the 1st game of the season against the Sixers, but Memphis and Atlanta was just too much for me with all the injuries to start the season. I was able to hang close until the 4th qtr in each game but ran out of gas each game and lost by double digits in both. So Im 1-2 with my Pacers with the Bucks up next.


So far Im glad I starter over and did some editing to hopefully help to get more blocked shots. Seems bumping up help D for shot blockers has help as I have been getting more blocked shots with Hibbert, although Im still not seeing enough in my games played for the computer, but I think I have did all I can with editing and sliders, so Id say its as good as its going to get unfortunately, but its better than it was. So far in the small sample size stats around the league look better than it did with stock ratings, so hopefully what I did works, because if it don't I will be done with this game as Im not starting over again,lol. Im just too OCD about stats and lose interest in the game if they aren't close to real life.

I've exclusively done MyLeague this year, but it seems like MyGM is more popular. Which one is better?

Doubting I'll find a conclusive answer.

If you like sim myleague if you don't mind the roster turnover myGM theres a lot of potential you feel the pressure from the owner so sometimes doing what they want rather than you.

Depends on how much realism you want. MyGM there is absolutely nothing realistic about that mode other than being the GM, because of the stupid moves made by the AI ran teams.


If you want a realistic Association then you really need to do a 30 team controlled My League unfortunately. In running a My League with just 1 team you can keep trades somewhat realistic by turning on approval of trades, but once FA hits then things will get out of whack because of the stupid AI.


I run a 30 team MY League because I prefer realism, and the 1st season I follow real life injuries and transactions, but after that I will you use trade finder for teams to make moves I feel they need. I do only play with 1 team and I use house rules and only make moves that the Pacers would actually do IRL, and I do the same for other teams moves.


Unfortunately 2k devs screwed up 30 team control, and they need to go back to how it was on the old console, so you can set the teams you don't use management decisions to auto so you don't have to do everything for teams. It is a pain having to manage all the teams, but Im very OCD about realism and stats, so that's why I do it.

Re: NBA 2K15 Official MyLEAGUE/MyGM Thread

Things didn't go well in the 4th game of the season for me and the bucks drop me to 1-3, and I really was never in this game from the start.


So far thru the 1st 4 games Im the worst shooting team in the league at just over 38% from the field, 3pt shooting hasn't been terrible as Im around 34%, but things aren't going very well at all to the start of the season. Up next I have the Wizards, so hoping things improve.

Is there anyway to make the simulation difficulty higher?

Re: NBA 2K15 Official MyLEAGUE/MyGM Thread

In My League there is a slider for sim difficulty in game mode settings. I have used it and personally Im not sure if it actually works, or atleast how you would think it would anyway, but it might be because Im using 30 team control, so that might have something to do with me not seeing a difference in the teams that I sim as I only play with 1 team.

Re: NBA 2K15 Official MyLEAGUE/MyGM Thread

I didn't post an offseason update in my Pels franchise. I'm currently in the 16-17 season. The big offseason news for us was that I was able to resign AD to pretty close to a Max deal (5 years, 105m). During the draft I traded away Rodney Purvis who averaged 4.2 ppg in 11.3 mins and Luke Babbitt to the Cavs for their 2017 1st. I let Gordon walk and signed JR Smith to a 1 year 4 million dollar deal to take his place. Unfortunately, we're still pretty much in cap hell, but with both Holiday and Evans in the last year of their contracts, then at least I have some flexibility.

My current lineup:
PG - Holiday (78), Cole (73)
SG - J.Smith (73), R-Furkan Korkmaz (68), Mike Miller (63)
SF - Evans (73), R - Christian Wood (72), Pondexter (67)
PF - Davis (91), Anderson (75)
C - WCS (72), Withey (70)

The big news of the offseason was that Kevin Durnat left OKC... and it wasn't for Washington, New York or L.A..... it was to join Ty Lawson, Faried and Justice Winslow in the Mile-High City. Not only that Andre Drummond bolted North to join Lowry and DeRozan in Toronto. Those were by far the two biggest moves but other moves of note were Lance Stephenson, Evan Turner and Enes Kanter to Washington, Draymond Green to Orlando and Terrence Ross to OKC.

My current method of playing is I play the first five games of the season, so that I can get a good feel for my team. Then I will mostly use the Simcast, feature (and intervene either at half time or in the final 2-3 minutes of games were it is close), but I still play 3-4 games per month.

I'm currently 4-6 and in mid-November. There's still plenty of time left for this season, however I don't know if we're deep enough to compete for a playoff spot. The West is still as stacked as ever, so it's going to be a tough road ahead, for sure.

Thanks,

I'm just trying to make it more realistic. I'm tired of going 78-4 every year.

Hey all, still a work in progress (probably always will be) but I've finnaly got my Celtics' Franchise (myleague) website looking presentable enough to go public. (big thanks to Dynasty Nation, BEST SITE EVER). Anyway, I'd love if you guys stopped by and checked it out. On the site itself and through links that you will find on you're way, you'll be able to see The Roster depth charts, Box Scores, Stat leaders, Team Schedule, Photos from games Gallery, Live Broadcasts (when available of course) and a TON more! Feedback is also appreciated! Also keep in mind we are about t go into game three of the season, so many of the features, etc... will not be around till later (i.e. power rankings, more stat leaders, award races and so on). Thanks again all!
