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

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

The NBA team is comprised of a lot of former ex-NFL 2K5ers, so the cloning machine would need to be used a LOT (and on people much more important than me!). I'm also a large dude, so I'm not sure if the material required would be easily attainable...

As for the last part, we all hope you and everyone else enjoy the game that much when you eventually get your hands on it. I know I'm infinitely more satisfied with what we've done this year compared to last (which had a super short cycle, as it was the first forray into next-gen). FWIW, 2K16 will be our first "full" cycle since I've been back and we've already started our brainstorm sessions about features for the franchise modes...

2K team=Beast mode. Already talking 2K16, now that is passion.

Can we edit contracts and age? I hated seeing Lebron leave for the 76ers in mygm and I hate seeing Garnett, nash ect. retiring after one year. I can do without editing age but I cant live with Lebron on the 76ers lol.

Yes, you can edit contracts and age (birth date and birth year). For MyGM, you have to edit the roster outside of the mode and use custom rosters. For MyLEAGUE, you can also do it while in the mode.

As for Lebron, he stays in Cleveland most of the time, but I have seen simulations where he will leave.

That will also be Da Czar's 1st full cycle.....can I preorder 2k16 now? Lol yo Czar can I get another 10 teams in 10 days, especially with adding pick and role IQ, feel like I'll have to use all of my degree in sports management to work the x's and o's this year.

1) All modes that use the franchise back end (ML, MG & MC)

2) The stats are simulated based on the quality of the player (attributes, etc) and the quality of the teams that he plays. They won't be the exact same each time a draft class is used.

Interesting. So in regards to answer number 2, what you are saying is a player being drafted out of a MEAC school like Norfolk State will have more impressive stats than the same player being drafted out of ACC school like Duke because of the caliber of competition?

Last question and I apologize if this has been answered but do you have any information on the amount of players that can be created within the game?

For the first question, yes. Though, we don't have the rights to use the conference names.

For the second, 150.

Thanks. Thats a relief. One last question if you dont mind. Has the win/loss records been improved? Meaning like a lot of good teams would hover around 500 and bad team records really dont reflect on how bad they are. Bad to average teams beat good teams consistently.

For example the thunder would win around 45 games with no injuries. Its been that way forever. For good teams I just bump up their starters offensive and defensive awareness then I see the great teams winning 55 to 60. I'm sure thats difficult to get right. Thanks for answering everyone questions.

Yes, it's improved. The average win total for the team with the best record in the league has been ~62 wins in my simulations (with a high of 74 over a few hundred 80-year soaks). 20.9 for the worst team (with a low of 11).

double digit assist leaders, high win totals for good teams, actual scouting with college stats..

any other miracles the team has conjured?

I am a "franchise mode" gamer almost exclusively. The bold part is just music to my ears. It really is. You guys have outdone yourselves already and I haven't even touched NBA2K15. I can't imagine how much further you guys and your insane team will take "franchise mode", and the NBA 2K franchise in general. I'm strapped in and ready, though.

I'm not sure. Definitely before October 7th.

You have a pool of 150 created players. Any and all can be imported into any roster or draft class. So if you have a set of guys that you always want in your rosters but your favorite roster maker released a new version of their roster, all you have to do is download that new version and import them into that roster. That roster can then be used in both MyLEAGUE and MyGM.

We appreciate your candidness and informed posting Leftos and Davez. The level of dev interaction on the forums pre release literally equates to developer insights that past iterations of the game.

One question about the use of custom rosters. Can you confirm that the feature works in Online leagues with regards to uploading custom rosters each season? With the confirmed omission of Online Associations and regression back to classic 2k online leagues, we are limited to one-off seasons. However, if our league community are able to upload custom rosters with the associated ratings decrease and increases that accompany an association, we could theoretically have a work around for online associations. It would placate alot of disspointment if the online league community knew with confidence that the custom roster importation into online leagues are functioning, since it was broken in current gen 2k14.
