Online leagues 2k15, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Re: Online leagues 2k15, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

and it is getting worse and worse... Just a quick reminder...

Must have:
- Kicking/Inviting new users (once the league has started) – a must
- Sim/Reseting games (not sure whether it works) – a must
- Games Registering (stats and so on)

Ideally:
- Sliders
- Commisioner approving Trades
- Fantasy Draft
- Custom Playbooks
- Set Rotations and Strategy
- Ability to sign Free Agents

Icing on the cake:
- Practice mode
- Multiple Seasons
- Web Site with admin/GM options and Live Boxscores
- …???

Cheers! ;-)

Re: Online leagues 2k15, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Has anyone gotten a game to register?

Nope. My league mates verified in a test lg that games are not registering. The ones that played 2k14 current gen also informed me that this was a known bug in OLs last year as well. But yeah...apparently that was missed in QA testing as well.

Without games registering....All the work arounds discussed in this thread are moot. These body blows are getting a bit much to stomach. At least count the games that we are playing. Or do we need to put that to pen and paper also?

I thought one of the things they hyped was that the online leagues were put through a full QA cycle to fix the issues from the previous year. It was part of the myleague interview.

Wow, thanks. This is horrible guess 2K doesn't care about anything that doesn't have the word "MY" in front of it. Anyone know if NBA Live has them?

NBA live unfortunately doesn't have online leagues either. Bad times for an online leagues player

I am late to the party but i have only few words (in Smoove voice): OOOH MY GOOOD...

I am glad that I didn't preorder the game and that I wait for some unbiased and independent reviews which confirms my fears about 2k15. Complete absence of effort regarding online leagues. The fact that they implemented 2 (two) offline modes (MyLeage and MyGM) and do nothing for OL is unbelievable. They also said that they put two of their top engineers on online... It's just sad.

Current functionality of OL is less than bare bone, it's unplayable for sim- heads and for me it is a deal breaker.

I will not buy the game and I will look for alternative. I hope for 2k16 that we will have at least Nba2k11 Online Leagues.

Really really sad.

I think multiple seasons should be moved up to ideally. It is supposed to be like franchise mode. And cpu controlled teams should be a must have. I have 0 desire to play the same 4 friends over and over and have nobody to trade with.

But yeah...apparently that was missed in QA testing as well.

There is absolutely no way they did any sort of testing online. All these guys do is sit in their cubicles/game room and play their MyPlayer against each other, thats's the extent of their "tests". When LD2K first responded to this thread, I thought there was a glimmer of hope that it will be resolved by next year. Then I thought to myself how there is NO accountability in the online department for 2K, we don't even know who, if anyone, is in charge of it. Especially after reading how last gen was completely shafted of online leagues. And I hate to accuse people of lying but you had top engineers to fix online issues for a full calendar year? Really? And we can't even get an online game going after a year? I feel like a battered wife, always believing that it's the last time they mess up but keep come crawling back. So I have myself to blame as well. At this point I don't even know what to say, I hate to be a pessimist but I don't see a major overhaul in the near future. It's been 5 years dude! JUST MY OPINION.

Custom Sliders is a Must for me, like someone said in another thread players move like roadrunner on cocaine in some animations. Gotta tone that down a little, because in Simulation the speed is at 50 which imo is too fast.

Good news is you can reset and sim games. Bad news is that the mode is awful and a slap in the face.

I just played 2 games online against Philly and we had minimal lag and games were great with superstar sim settings. I wish we could tweak a few things with sliders like close shot should be around 42-43 not 40 as there was some pretty easy shots missed and I'd up fouls slightly but other than that it felt real good and so does game speed IMO. Just need to get used to online lag (barely at all) which is just a slight difference in shots and slight delay with block attempts and putting hands up but once you get used to it it's pretty solid IMO...

And the irony in this: Most of this was in NBA2k11 4 years ago on X360. SHAME ON YOU 2k

Re: Online leagues 2k15, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Just tested and verified that games are indeed now registering when played along with stats. I hope it isnt a hit or miss thing and is actually fixed for good. If so, kudos to 2k for addressing a major issue in this god forsaken mode.

Thanks dude, hopefully they will be working on it to sort out those things (already included) which should work... Did you try to reset some of the games again? What about simulate games?

Yes!...I am happy to report that simulating and reset games are working flawlessly! Again kudos to 2k for addressing this issue quickly. The input lag has also dramatically improved from last night to release day, which has genuinely surprised me given their track record. Played 3 lag free rank games that seemed as if I was offline .

Now lets hope they give us the basic admin features that are missing either through a patch or an acknowledgment for possible incorporation in next years title.

Great news! So, as of now everything works and we have workaround? Just need ability to boot users, pick up free agents, and cross fingers for sliders and we can live til next year?! At least I could. Thank ame for doing all this!

I too played 3 basically lagless games today online. Played beautifully. Slight input lag but you get used to it. Only really slightly on jumpers, blocked shots, and contesting shots compared to offline. Everything else felt great!

Re: Online leagues 2k15, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
