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

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

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.

See that's what I don't understand about 2K.

I used to be active in leagues until all the glitches and ignoring of the mode happened.

How will people play the mode if you CAN'T play the mode?

I just bought the game and we cannot even create on online league, or use custom rosters. When I attempt to load a custom roster for a league, it just says "Cannot retrieve content". If I try to create an online league with default rosters, I get the error "Upload Failed. Anyone else run into this issue? My friend and I who both just purchased the game are getting the same errors. Thought it might be a port issue, so put my PS4 in the DMZ to test, still fails.

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 prog

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.

All you can do is add all your created players on one or two teams in your custom roster, but you wont be able to run a 30 team league, for a rookie draft you'll have to set a trading rule, ex: you dump your lowest player for the rookie you choose. Hope, that helps

Nope you're wrong we figured it out.

First we did a draft lottery on a website to determine the order as seen below.



Then with the percentages and algorithms in place, we had a legit lottery.



Next we downloaded a draft class done by GT: likeajew06 from 2kshare.



Next we did a mock draft so our league members who do not follow college hoops would have a good idea about who should fall where based on need.



Next I found a guys on OS that ported the draft class into the crested player pool so that I could assign them as FAs and subsequently placed on teams that draft them. This was the hardest part but thanks to the roster guy on OS , we were able to get it done.

Next post I will detail our free agent bidding process for season 2 of our online league that we have managed to turn into an OA.

You made our OA possible vtrcb....thanks for adding the draft class to our league roster for season 2. 2k thought they shafted us with these broken one off leagues but sim city hoops is doing the impossible. Thanks to this thread and all the contributions to it, we are on the verge of doing what was once thought off as impossible when we started this thread; an OA with real life draft classes, free agency, progression, regression, retirements, and development camp. We are doing it all fellas. Where there is a will there is a way and the custom roster feature in this god forsaken mode has made EVERYTHING possible

Well there seems to be an ongoing problem about roster uploading or editing and then creating an OL with those corrupted(for some reason which i don't know why) rosters. As the rosters gets corrupted the league can't be established. It's not common but there are times that problem occurs unfortunately.

Seems like it's hit or miss depending on which day you upload the roster for league creation. It worked for me when set up a preseason lg this morning but failed for my league mate last night. Hopefully it's not an issue when we progress to season 2 of our league as we have completed 90% of the offseason detailed below.

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

Below are the method and details explaining how I turned 2ks broken online leagues into an online association for my league known as sim city hoops. I encourage any and all leagues to use these methods to match what sim city hoops was able to do. Full disclosure, there is a alot tedious and laborious efforts needed by a dedicated team of admins in order to pull this off.

The previous posts explains how we conducted the draft lottery and rookie draft. So this post will center around how we governed free agency, progressions, regressions, retirements, European and overseas signings, and sending players to camp for improvement.



The above pic details how we classified free agents in 3 tiers. Players coming off their rookie deals were eligible for a max contract of 19 mil; players with 7 to 9 years were eligible for 23 mil max, and finally 10 + years were eligible for 26 mil. We set a hard cap of 77 million for all teams; essentially the luxury tax level in real life.







After the free agent bidding was over, we addressed player regression, progressions, and retirements. This was by more the most tedious and frustrating part of the off season. We simmed an offline myleague association with our league rosters and captured that data in a spreadsheet with all player attributes. We then used that spreadsheet to manually edit all players with their updated progressions and regressions.

Next we had our league owners identify two players on their rosters that they would send to camp for additional progression. Below is the camp system.



WITHOUT THE CUSTOM ROSTER FEATURE, NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

if 2k decides to shaft OL users again in 2k16, I just pray that they keep the custom roster feature that makes anything possible with these broken leagues if admins are dedicated and hardcore enough to grind out the necessary work need to play multiple seasons in the fashion of an OA.

I hope I have paid it forward to the community.

Most of the people won't even recognize the dedication behind all these, even guys from 2k won't understand this dedication i'm sure of, if they would have; they could have at least fixed games not registering, standings not sorting and so on by now. Yet we've had nothing.

So a very big props to OL heads whose dedication is beyond of all community here. Great job with whoever helped you on the process. Thank you 2k for making us believe in ourselves to turn impossible to possible!

The problem is the custom roster feature doesn't always work. I put a ton of work into getting a league off the ground and because my roster can't be downloaded our league can't get started.
