The celebrity owner pictures thing going on on Twitter are simply photoshop jobs.

Injury 2.0 sounds really interesting but I hope it isn't an overkill where by ASG weekend half the league's starters are injured.

Really trying not to get to excited here, but this sound awesome! I loved simulating into the future in MyGM, and with 80 years for me to work on a specific franchise, I already know this is going to be great.

I especially like the thought of the owner changing, proving that now the game will acknowledge that time is passing. I can revive an organization, start a dynasty, retire those players, go through the dark ages and return to relevance a bunch of times now. Not to mention we'll be getting narratives with each draft class, college stats and injury concerns. We could even potentially lose our franchise player to injuries. So much stuff to think about with each move we make to insure that we can guide a franchise to the promised land. I don't know when I'll be able to put my controller down once I get my hands on 2k15.

I'm going to be a hardcore couch potato this winter!

Please tell me storyline and combine are gonna be in MyLeague too????

This mode is sounding amazing on paper, but at the end of the day, once again, trade and FA logic is gonna make or break it.

Yes; prospect storylines, combine and pre-draft workouts will be in both MyLEAGUE and MyGM.

Euroleague stats are in it too? I know there are prospects from Europe or elsewhere do they immediately come over or stay in their country to play?

Sounds awesome!

Two questions:
- will draft picks and contract options be as accurate as in real life as possible, like unguaranteed and guaranteed contracts with deadlines and all?

- are we able to sign up to 20 players during the off-season and experience training camp and cut them down to 15?

Davez! My man!

Here's the thread you started in November last year. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...wish-list.html

It's amazing how many of those things made it into the game this year. I don't know know who all to thank for this coming together like this. You, Leftos, etc. but this game is looking like a dream come true to me. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

A *lot* of people had input into both modes. The primary people involved in coming up with most of the designs and feature sets are Erick (overlord of all), Leftos (features engineer, newbie that's already a rockstar, and "the hairy beast"), Tim (lead franchise engineer and one of the main engineers from the College Basketball games) and myself (old 2K vet from the NFL/APF days, who left for 5 years, and came back last year to be the lead designer/producer on the franchise modes), but many others are involved and deserve credit. Scott Kohn (engineer for MyTEAM), for instance, had the idea to do simulated college stats and Abe Navarro (designer for MyTEAM) did the design for the injury system -- which is based on and has improvements on his injury system designs from APF and NHL.

Oh, and OS also deserves a lot of credit, as we based a lot of our plans on feedback from 2K14.

the simulate dollege season sounds nice!!!!.
is all of this included in the PC version also.. If so MY order will be placed this weekend.

2k, all day!!!!

PC version will be the same as PS4/Xbox One. I think it's only missing one feature, which cannot be talked about at this time (but, it's not any of the things we've announced for MyLEAGUE and MyGM, so don't worry about that).

International prospects will have simulated stats.

Shot out to to the people working on the menus GUI looks much cleaner

For MyGM and MyLEAGUE with default slider settings, you'll see about 300-450 total injuries per year.

We found some data on NBA injuries over a 10 year span and tried our best to model our system as closely to the data as possible with respect to which body parts gets injured the most and the frequency of each type of injury. Though, it's worth noting that the 300-450 is about half of what the per year average was for that 10 year span. We just felt this was enough.

If you're not happy with the tunes, MyLEAGUE has sliders to tweak these (MyGM does not). Both allow you to start with existing injuries on, however...

"Visual Concepts is distancing itself from its controversial approach to injecting VC into the MyGM experience last year. In NBA 2K15 the VC is nearly stripped out of the mode in favor of a leveling system where you accrue XP for every action you take."

Christmas came early this year. Thank you 2K!

[Mr.Smif]

Between My League and MyGM is just too much, they havent even said anything about MyCareer, Crews, and The Park yet! I cant play all this in 12monhts, give us the ability to save and carry our progress in these modes over to next version of the game please!

Yeah the injuries, small minor will play a huge factor to the immersion. I like that you guys used actual data the game sounds deep.

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.
