NBA 2K15's SimCast is its Most Underrated Feature

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

This has been a really nice feature. Controlling 4 teams in MyLeague, I can basically simcast through the season and jump in for games that I'm particularly interested in/obviously play a full game whenever I want as well.

I have been DYING for a basketball sim like OOTP (and with basketball's growing popularity in the world you'd think someone would jump on that), but with simcast the itch is at least partially scratched. Love it so far!

Cool! That is a great feature..

Agreed! Simcast is amazing, love using it

This has been the only way I have played the game so far. Amazing. Have been wanting this feature in 2k for forever and it has been pretty much perfect.

Hello chaps,

I am probably being stupid but I love Simcast but it is mad quick and there is no time to absorb the action. Do you know if it can be slowed down ?

Cheers,

Colin

Adding simcast and my league and I can finally stop devoting 80% of my 2k time to my career

The way I see it 2k can do the following things: 1) Give VC if you play any portion of the game (even if very small). 2) Give no VC unless you play the whole game. 3) Give VC if you play a select amount of the game (perhaps one half or one quarter). Each of these has bad game play implications. 1) If VC is awarded regardless of the amount played (more than 0 minutes) gamers will farm VC this way and it will cascade into ruining balance in MyCareer/MyPark. 2) If VC is not awarded unless the entire game is played, players that rely on simcast to enjoy MyGM cannot advance in the RPG game mode. 3) if VC is not awarded unless a select amount of the game is played it really defeats most of the upside to simcast. My answer: eliminate VC altogether in MyGM. Create a separate currency (GMC?). Allow GMC to be earned even if the whole game is simcast. Done.

They already did this, you earn XP in my gm which lets you level up in that mode. You just also earn a bit of VC for the games you play. Although I'm not sure if you actually earn XP for SimCast games.
