NBA 2K15 MyGM To Distance Itself From VC, Be More Dynamic

[emelki1968]

If everything here is true, this is going to be a game to remember, honestly. I am very excited. Specially, the part where you can simulate a game and stop the simulation to play at any moment. Great addition. The amount of seasons is a little ridiculous but who Am I to complain?
Great article by Game Informer!

So idk if this has been said or not, but is the Draft Combine playable like the draft workouts or is it a simulated thing just to reveal ratings...

It's simulated. Not all players will choose to attend the Draft Combine. For the ones that do go, you will get to see results for things like their real height/weight/wingspan (which may be different that what they had been listed at), as well as results for 3/4 sprint, lane agility, vertical, bench press, standing 15 footer, moving 15 footer, standing college 3, moving college 3, standing NBA 3, moving NBA 3 (we opted to not do all the exact drills so we could tailor these to the attributes we have on the backend).

EA should take some notes from 2k and start listening to feedback from consumers

[syncinatti]

At first thought I was concerned if all these features implemented would "work" together. But then I remembered Leftos is a genius. Combined with the rest of the team..... No worries.

Now this sounds like fun. Something different.

Has the commish recorded more announcable names for the draft?

I'm ready for this now! I guess I will start with MyGM until someone has some good sliders for MyLeague! I'm just glad I can have customizable draft classes!

Both modes start with an "approximation" of the real life draft picks. Since we don't support conditional picks, we made our best guesses on how these would play out. Also, we only allow trading picks up to 4 years ahead, so if there are any traded picks beyond 2018, those won't be in the game.

Good news for me. I was one of those guys that would spend about 2 hours trading the picks around from team to team to get a more accurate draft order. Also as a guy who runs Knicks associations, it was weird having draft picks. I wanted to build my team realistically and having picks wasn't that.

It's fairly robust and takes things into account such as the player's real attributes, the storylines, and the teams that they play against on their schedule. So, you will see things like a player getting better stats than someone he isn't as good as because the level of his competition was weaker.

I think the problem was always that the CPU never truly understood who you had on your team. For example I do MyGM with the Bulls. I traded my 1st for the Sixers 1st and then I was able to trade Boozer and Dunleavy for a 1st from the Bucks. Then When I drafted I got 5th overall and somehow the CPU skipped over the highest overall player in the draft (the guy I drafted) then I gave up my other 1st and 2nd rounders for 3 more 1st rounders in the next draft and now I have 3 lottery picks.

I'll probably be playing more of the hardcore franchise mode rather than this one. I may look into this one though. I like some of the changes, particularly less VC implementation

[Retropyro]

NBA 2K15 I will definitely be skipping ..............all the way to get my pre-order in.

so will these 'flash in the pan'/generational players with nothing left to prove to scouts be the ones to skip out on the combine?

Featueing Andrew Bogut and a relatively accurate map of his injury risk.

This. Is. Awesome.

I'd upgrade his right elbow to red though. That's the elbow he shattered horrifically after a dunk. The again, he doesn't really reinjure, but it definitely affects his shot and he's protective of it.

I am in awe of your fandom. Respect!!!

If enough people want it, then maybe.

Dave, these are rabid SIM gamers with elephantine memory recall for stuff like this. Please don't encourage them or it could get ugly
