Re: NLSC Podcast with Leftos

Lolol

Watched it way too many times already wishing I could do stuff like thatand not get in trouble lol

The funniest part was hearing the battle-cry come from all over the office in a staggered manner, as people kept forwarding the e-mail to more and more people.

It's just great working here.

This guy Leftos just seems freaking relentless. I'm sure he has infused new energy into dev teams just by hearing his voice cadence alone! Now put him in charge bringing Myleague online 2k. Its 2014, we deserve multiple season OAs, not one and done online league seasons. Leftos, I know you work offline for myleague and mygm, but please forward this request to whoever in charge of the online league mode.Ty Sir, back to listening to the podcast.

I've been called too passionate for my own good. It's a dream job for me, and I'm making the most of it.

Re: NLSC Podcast with Leftos

Leftos, were you guys able to make big Free Agents consider the size of the market? Or is it something to consider for next year?

Thanks! I'm just starting the podcast, should be interesting.

That's already there, and we have fixed a number of legacy issues with Free Agency for 2K15. We're looking to do much more work in the future too, so I'm looking for fresh feedback and reports on issues this year.

Hey Leftos, can you answer a quick question? Is there a player cap on number of players the game can handle? example: 250 players in FA Sorry if this has been answered before and this might not be the forum for this but thought I'd ask real quick. Thanks

Is there any talk about how trade logic has been improved? I'm interested to see how often trades happen, if they involve stars, and if they make sense for make up of the team?

Great podcast, liked how you shared your feelings of working on the game and for 2K-VC ... once again, wish you the best.

Can we have a say (edit) on that ? On how much does a market weights into a player decission ? Would love to be able to, specially as seasons go on. Would also like to have a say on a per player level.

Also, any news/details that can be shared in respect of total sim control ? Has it been expanded ?


If not already implemented, please consider:
- a create a staff (coaches, assistants, other members).
- to be able to edit, trade, sign, resign existing coaches as well as having a coaches FA screen, composed of our created coaches and at least fictitional ones (entirely editable).
- to be able to edit each GM stance on both, roster movement (sell, buy, stay put) and draft (best overall talent, best talen of position of need, best potential, best skills).
- implement de DLeague, preferrably as a feature within the launched game but ultimately, even as a paid DLC.
- implement a track a rivalry feature, something that if certaint conditions are met can be reflected and referenced thorugh the modes, helping scalate the momentum for key games, playoffs race and actual playoffs and finals ... evolving as seasons go on.
- implement some type of annalisys of roster movement, where trades, releases and signs are referenced ... and maybe the impact of such moves after a few games ... for in season (even when on court) and off season.


P.S:
Just taking advantage of your presence here, so pardon my mini wishlist.
Hope not to sound as non grateful, am actually pretty satisfied even if I havent seen the full extend of your implementations and fixes ... I just love the attention you seem to put on us and our needs and wants ... anyways, looking forward to play the game.

Someone's gotta take one for the team and drop some cliff notes.

Leftos, will we be able to do cross game saves this year or in the future? The ability to save our progress in MyLeague and MyGM and bring it over to the next version of the game. NBA 2K15 has so much to do, its like you have to choose one or two modes to really get into because to time restraints.

For example, I will be playing MyLeague and MyGM mainly, but I also want to play MyCareer and maybe even some MyTeam. What ends up happening every year is that I end up dropping my Association for quick, fun satisfactory modes like MyPlayer and Online modes because The Association feels like a daunting task that I will never be able to complete. Having cross game saves will encourage me and I think others too, to stick it out for the long run.

Just out of curiosity does the off season follow the calendar more or less like real life or is it in a step by step fashion once the finals are over.


So for example does the lottery happen during the playoffs and free agency start July 1 for negotiations and about a week later for signings. Obviously not a must have but hearing you talk about the authenticity of the experience brought that to mind.


And again, great podcast Leftos and thanks for answering my question about how your time at 2k has evolved you as a programmer. And some of the steps someone like me can take to get there. It was extremely insightful!

It's still step-by-step...for 2K15

Cross team/players scouting !

The evolution of team stats tracker.

Wow, "no longer can one claim ignorance of a team/player weanesses and strengths" ... and is not like playmaking vs playmaking abilities but rather playmaking vs stealing or defense IQ ...

LOVE IT !

I'm genuinly impressed with 2k. I haven't been following 2k15 at all this year because of the numerous issues I had with 2k14 last year (lack of harddrive saves, VC needed for everything for example) and they appear to have actually taken the backlash to heart and made some really great changes. I think I'll pick it up this year.

Everything I've seen thus far today has been great. Good job 2k.
