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

Slight OT, but hey..

Will players with greater defensive awareness defend with their feet and body and dumb defensive players only with their hands? I mean...will players like Haslem try to put you as an offensive player out of position so you have to take a tough fadeaway/chuck a shot? I really want to see a difference between smart defender and dumb. I want to see defenders cut you off and force you to pick up your dribble. I also want to see dumb roaming/not watching your defensive assignment by players like Harden.

Really like the way this is shaping up and sounds like right now I have at least 2 modes to really dive into. So happy that VC isn't needed to really enjoy this mode....this in itself is HUGE news for me.

Thanks to 2k for listening to the fans and it's so good having the devs on the boards. I am officially excited to get NBA2k again and have pre-ordered.

The Coach Gameplan has some options for Bench Depth and Bench Utilization that should help give you more control over how the CPU rebuilds your rotation when you automate things.

We did a lot of tuning to try and improve the simulator stats, so I feel they're a lot better this year (the league leader will often actually get double digits in assists per game, for one).

Dave the biggest issue in the last 4 yesrs was the rotations resetting once a user entered association/season mode and as a result the mpg were off. Has this issue been fixed finally?

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

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

I'm kind of a Warriors nerd.

Also Warriors fans tend to develop an intimate knowledge of their players' injury history with our crappy luck, and get PTSD whenever Bogut or Curry spill onto the ground. I'm also expecting a LOT of red knees for the Warriors bench in game this year.

Also, I don't know if I've simply forgotten, but do players have per-existing injury histories in addition to durabilites? For instance, it would make much sense for Bogut to get a lot of normal right ankle sprains when his issue is mostly related cartilage damage from the broken ankle. Durability does make total sense for say, Lee, who used to mostly be an ironman-- but suffers core and upper leg overuse injuries towards ends of seasons like clockwork.

Loving this year 2K!! I've pre-ordered for PC, this year and can't wait for it to drop! I'm loving the effort in Scouting and MyGM, MyLEAGUE as well as the attention to detail regarding SIM players this year. You all have answered my prayers for Euroleague as well (big fan), although it's own mini-association mode with it's own rules and CBA and tourney could be bring in a whole heap of foreign sales, but not completely necessary.

I have some dreams and I know these take time and more importantly interest, however for 2K16 (for a deeper experience in MyGM, MyLEAGUE) I would love:

• NBDL - a real-farm system (maybe issues would arise however with some teams not having a nbdl affiliate (blazers, jazz etc) like in 2K12. So much fun to develop young, inexperienced players during a season when I didn't have minutes for them (even though I played 82 games on 12 minute q, sometimes they didn't fit into a rotation and I had no where to put them, so I guess reserve/waivers it was).
  
  This is real out there idea but: In MyGM you could potentially buy/run an NBDL (already existing) team and further meta develop those teams.
  
  Obviously rights of these real NBDL players aren't worth the time and effort, but just doing something similar to 2K12 with generated scrubs, potential players (think Pierre Jackson/Ebanks types) would just add so much depth onto the game that already has so much depth Association wise.
  
  I also think an NBDL would compliment the new progression system you gents have implemented this year. Food for thought.
  
  
• Summer League - again just being able to test unknown talent and undrafted picks is fun, at least for me, I don't know the average gamer, because I'm not him/her. I'm a purist unfortunately .

I'm like Kierkegaard on these matters: Either/Or; I love what you hard working developers do anyways with this game annually and hope you'll all stick together and keep bringing us tremendous simulated basketball.

Maybe it's just me, an this is OT but, the menus give off a serious 2k9 vibe(which I freaking loved). The logos turned inward & spotlighted, the dark greyish backgrounds. The transparent glass windows. It's a really stylish-clean UI.

If 2k listens to the fans why are they not fixing the spacing and sliding,why are t they making a college hoops game pleasers hellooooo 2k

I'm guessing you missed the gc impression that said defensive sliding is pretty much gone. I'm also guessing you don't understand companies need to make money and college bball games don't make enough of it to warrant making them.

The lack of a college game isn't 2k's fault. Up to now, college players couldn't be compensated for their likeness being used in video games, while video game companies and colleges were making millions off said players. So a suit was filed and courts sided with players. That's why no college games are being made at present.

I bet that 2K would fix sliding if they could. I can't imagine its an easy thing to fix considering it exists to some extent in pretty much every sports game out there

We don't have the rights to use people not in the NBA (except for Legends that we've made deals with).

Are there new legends added in 2K15? Can roster dev team add star players who retired recently, like T-Mac, Yao? Or some classic legends, like Reggie Miller, Chris Webber?
