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

Results DO save, with the occasional game or two not actually registering. You CAN assign a winner/loser/ or reset each game when done, fortunately. ALthough, this kills the stat accuracy.

There are no saved rotations, except the normal settings during the loading screen.

No free agents.

One season at a time. Although there are workarounds that require a lot of involvement and effort like simming the roster ahead a year after the playoffs, having/hosting a draft, etc. and reuploading the roster for the next season. A pain in the ***, but it can be done.

You can kick a user, but that spot will forever be empty as you can sim games or assign all losses for a rogue player, BUT that isn't too bad because you will be starting all over for each subsequent season. YOU CAN NOT ADD A USER AFTER THE SEASON STARTS.

It works, but you will be responsible for doing 75% of the **** 2K SHOULD have handled, easily.

Me and my league members have fun Twitching the 4th QTRS of our league games and have a decent amount of fun. It is mind blowing to snap a close playoff game between two others while finishing yours. UNLESS, the game is close and you need that full screen! LOL
And all game winning shots are recorded and shared with the league members, fun times.

Custom Rosters (when they work) SAVED this mode, barely.

GIVE IT A SHOT!

Can someone give some advice on a good way to do scheduling?

I'm co-commish for a Madden league, and obviously that's easy. When everyone has gotten their games in, advance the week.

But with NBA, obviously things are different. It's not just one game per player for the week. Games happen daily on the schedule, with different teams playing different days, and teams playing multiple times in a week. How would advancing work in an NBA 2K league?

It doesn't work this way on 2K15.

You only get to choose the number of games each team will play and it is only available in random numbers of games. ie 8 users(7 opponents) = 7/21/89 etc.

Therefore, guys will be able to play whenever they chose, in any order.

You basically play until all games are done. Then it auto advances to the playoffs.

You must set the number of qualifying playoff teams before the league starts, BUT remember that OPTIONS/SETTINGS CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED AFTER THE LEAGUE STARTS.

Okay perfect, I think I understand what you're saying.

Now for the dumbest question of all:

Where do I create a league?? I was looking through the main menu, and obviously I found the single player MyLeague and MyGM, but I couldn't find the online league options anywhere.

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

Thanks for all your answers man. I appreciate it!

Luckily, our Madden league is a group full of good owners, so we'll have a pretty good core of 2K owners as well. I'm not really worried about guys bailing on us or things like that. I've been with these same guys for years.

Might need to look into recruiting outside of the league tho, not sure that all of them are gonna come over to 2K.

Will there be problems if I have unbalanced conferences?


Right now, I have about 8 or 9 guys in the Eastern Conference, and 3 in the West lol. Will that break the playoffs?

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

lol wow. So it just takes the best however many teams period? Wow.


I assume then that "vacant" teams aren't counted for playoff standings?

There are no CPU teams. The league consists only of the users you have

I always do a 30 man league with 16 team playoffs so I don't know how your it will spit out your playoffs with unbalanced conferences. Maybe you can set the the playoff bracket once the season the completes, but I don't know if it's possible. Or you can set up a manual bracket like our league did to avoid 2k glitches in the playoffs. We reset the regular season games for the playoff teams and tracked the playoffs manually until we crowned a champion. This is the best method because there isn't playoff atmosphere with playoff logos and fans in playoff color coordinated attire .

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

Hey guys! I've tried to go through this entire thread. My Madden league guys are wanting to start a 2k15 league. It's a bunch of reliable guys that I trust.


Have ANY of these issues been addressed?


Game results registering? Do we still have to quit before the game goes final?


Rotations?


Free agents?


Are online leagues only 1 season long?


Booting / inviting members?


Does this mode even work at all? I'd love to give it a go.

You can set your rotations, gameplans, POEs, play types, coaching sliders, and custom playbooks with the custom roster your league uses prior to league startup. All edits made to the custom roster will save in the league. This will cut down the amount of time spent in the pregame menus adjusting settings.

You can also assign free agents to teams using the custom the roster feature. Look back in the previous pages of this thread where I detail an FA and multiple season template, all with the custom roster feature.

You can replace and invite users after league startup only by using the Xbox profile Gamertags that require an email and password for the user join with. If you need to replace that user or boot him from the league, simply change the password of the profile gamertag.

Game registration is hit or miss; mostly miss. The workaround is to have your owners report to the admin who they played and with the results, so that it can be simmed off the schedule. That way games already played are no longer open. Likewise the standings are hardly accurate with the lack of game registration so you will have to manually track the standings outside of the lg like we do in SCH.



Stat tracking and is broken so we have a dedicated stats guy that we send pics of all game stats that he enters into a spreadsheet as seen below.

you guys can create an online league?

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

Some can and some can't. So if you have multiple league members...just have one of your guys try to create it if gives you an error. You can also use a profile gamertag to try to create one if you're original GT is giving you errors during creation.

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

I find some of us are getting different errors. I know i keep getting..

"There is a problem with your connection to our online services. Error Code: 29ad3821 "

I cant find a single thing to help me upload this online league.

Yup. It gives you that error a few times before you starting getting "Upload Failed" for eternity.
