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

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

It's a shame you got banned for voicing legitimate gripes about OLs ataman, but we have to keep it civil and constructive. This thread should serve as the bible for 2k to consult when for online leagues and hopefully online associations for 2k16. That's all we can hope for at this point. The patch has come and gone with nothing but cosmetic and inconsequential changes to leagues; so if 2k can get game registration to work 100%, then I'll be content with the work arounds that we have all figured out collectively throughout this thread.

Welcome back ataman! You are a passionate voice for leagues. Just channel that passion more constructively. By the way, how did u get your ban overturned. I always thought OS did permabans lol.

It was Xmas miracle by the great mods of OS.

I honestly can't believe they didn't fix stuff that was broken in 2k14. Such as sorting the stats, games not registering and etc.... Back on 2k10 leagues were great, with the online website feature and all that. I would rather them copy and paste that code back into the game than keep BSing us with this crap.

The mode is so broken I could imagine someone suing them.

They just need to redo things that have already been in the game few years ago... I cannot understand why this is so hard. Instead they try do something new which is crap year after year because it's not thought to the end.

Yeah I stayed on last gen 2k14 to enjoy the online associations while sitting out current gen 2k14, since launch games are typically barebones. But to roll out another barebones OL for 2k15 is just inexplicable. A shame too as its the best gameplay head to head, especially on the higher difficulties. You have to earn everything and I've yet to see any real exploits on HOF sim. So if you have the right group of league mates, there are numerous albeit tedious workarounds that make the mode a blast once you get your leagues off the ground.

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

I have a question ..me and some friends running a 18 team league 8 will make playoffs
but sometimes the games dont record so commish forces the games wenn we ask
but what determines who goes to the playoffs since games donr register only wenn commish
Forces them but even then in calendar im 4-0 but in standings im 4-2
what determines who goes to the playoffs what record does the cpu use to draw a playoff picture ? Since the stats dont add up ..anyone with experience with yhis please help out .peace

What we do in our league (SimCity), we bring out the pen and pad and record everyone's records due to games not registering. That way accurate standings are always accounted for regardless of what it states on the game. When playoffs come around you'll be able to seed each team into the perspective brackets based on standings, etc.

This is exactly what we are doing on sim city as stated by my league mate optimist aka zeus lol. An admin has complete control over seeding for the playoff bracket so track your standings outside of the league like we do below. When the season is complete, the admin will seed the playoff teams accordingly. Another asinine work around that we shouldn't even have to deal with a decade after leagues were introduced and functioned well in 2k..smfh.

What we do in TSBT first as SimCity, we keep all the tracks of the game outside and keep playing our games in OL mode and then when the time has arrived for playoffs we create 4 teams Online Leagues more than one and i sim for correct matchups w/o any played game in season, i directly sim to playoffs and for the other round we create new ones until the finals and so on.

Have you tried advancing to the playoffs without creating separate leagues for them Ataman. I wonder if anyone on either ps4 or xb1 has even completed an OL season. I will run a test OL soon and document the playoff setup and infrastructure in this thread.

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

Yesterday as our OL advanced to Playoffs we created small number teams to play playoffs and then when i tried to hard simulate on a specific team to win, it didn't work i simulate Spurs w it ends up Spurs loose after numerous tries nothing is accomplished. Nada.

And then i said we work the other workaround by going in games and the looser will quit so that we make the standings as it should and start playoffs you know what the absurd of all kept happening. F.e Spurs won all 3 games between 4 teams but ended up being the 3rd in playoffs and the 1-2 third place team ended up 1st all the time!

How great is that ? We're beyond of all problems now....

This is crazy. It looks like our league will have to use the quit before final seconds during the playoffs to ensure proper advancement when we get there. All else fails I will create 2 man leagues with our rosters for each playoff matchup until the finals.

Does the league menus let the admin pick the playoff bracket and seedings if you try the advancing to the playoffs in a normal fashion. I would love to know the answer to this.

I refuse to dedicate all this time to running my league and not be able to crown a champion. One way or another it will get done...but the obstacles 2k has made us endure with this broken mode is beyond a slap in the face. This has been another lost year for OL/OA heads. 2k16 will either make us or break us for good.

Let me rephrase that even when you quit and make it legit W/L Records registered that the standings are not doing the right order in playoffs and you just can't manipulate playoff brackets and seedings etc. in anyway possible. So even the quitting won't help you out as in my second solution didn't. i suggest you stop quitting for the sake of not quitting. It won't matter both way i assure you.

Hard W simulates don't work as it should, Quitting and the right Record of W/L don't work either.

That leaves us with 2 players playoffs Hopefully we can get it to right Home/Away matchups.

They can't even make this barebone Online League mode working as it should i mean the mode is completely broken, i'm more than glad that Custom Rosters work (It's a miracle a true miracle that works, but be aware it can be broken any time.) that's the only part this mode is functioning or else it would be %0.

I just don't want them to make MyLeague Online as i'm %10000 sure that it won't work at all!!

2K i don't even know what i want you to do from now on. Lists of what we would like to have are all complete nonsense. I've given up completely with requests. The mode is dead.

If i were any of the developpers at 2k side and had even the slightest responsiblity of this Online League Mode, i would definitely be ashamed of what i've accomplished with my work let alone being paid and don't quit my job there. It would be a big shame for me. I would ask is this what i really create ? Come on.

I actually think they already tell the higher ups what they can do based off what timeline restraints they have. So the higher ups pretty much give them an amount of time to work on a mode and they complete what they can based off that schedule. So the 2K developers know they are getting a mode that is incomplete to me because they clearly don't put in that much time to make it complete. 2K is also is known to take resources away from certain modes based off how many people play certain modes.

It is like a chicken vs. egg arguement. Are they not building the best online mode because people are not playing the mode compared to other modes, but are people not playing it because it is so barebones and filled with glitches? I feel like they want everything to be online they should be making this mode much better.

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

Online leagues suck for next gen. Honestly they should just bring back the online association for the next game.

It does bro. Everything has to be tracked manually by the admins as the features are so barebones. The only redeeming quality is the custom roster feature which allows you to do an OA with progression.

I am now stuck on how to get draft class players into the FA or created player pool in the official 2k roster. If anyone is willing to take on the project, I can send some compensation. Please reply if you are a cap roster guy who can help with the task. This is a huge issue for my league as we head to season 2 very soon.
