Any way to change player roles in MyGM? Player roles are still in (when you go to sign a free agent, it will say something like "I want $2.2m per year in the sixth man role"), but you can't change the role when signing a free agent, nor does there appear to be a way to do so for players on your roster. I want to change roles so that when I'm setting my rotation, not everyone wants 25+ minutes a game. For example, it is telling me to give Mo Williams more minutes when I reduce them under 20. I am assuming that if I keep his minutes under 20, he will get mad and leave. Is there any way to change roles before the season or during to keep players happy?

Re: NBA 2k15 MyGM Player Roles
I have to bump this thread, because I am also curious about this. I looked forever last night to see if there is a way to change player roles like in years past. Does anyone know? -

Re: NBA 2k15 MyGM Player Roles
bump me too.
I'm also finding Giannis getting upset with playing 30 minutes off the bench. A 19 year old should not be upset about playing 30 mpg. He's only coming off bench because I like his versatility with my 2nd team in the game more and Parker was getting eaten alive at PF on the glass.Comment

Re: NBA 2k15 MyGM Player Roles
Great question. I didn't realize this until iman shumpert came into my office upset saying he wanted more time, I said sure until I looked at his previous few games and saw I was already giving him 29 min per.
Week later he comes in again saying he needs to be starting then I'm like ok he bugging lemme change his role...................Comment

Adjust the players minutes in the coaching gameplan section. Giving a player more minutes than your current starter will up his role.Comment

Re: NBA 2k15 MyGM Player Roles
The explicit roles were causing too much pain in previous years and weren't really doing what they were supposed to be doing. For example, you could set someone as a starter but have them come off the bench anyway. So we decided that roles are implicit, and they depend on how you actually play them. If they're not starting consistently, they won't feel like starters. If you're playing them a lot of minutes but they're not getting enough touches, they might complain about that too.
In completely reworking our morale system from years past for 2K15 with a mind for the future, we decided to remove explicitly set Player Roles. We're discussing options for the future, and we're looking for feedback in this year's implementation.
In contract negotiations, players tell you what they'll be expecting once they're on the team, you can't set their role in the contract; they'll judge what you're doing once they're on.
As for outliers that have unrealistic expectations, I'm open to hearing your cases and trying to find ways to alleviate them, such as muelly's.
When talking to players, know their personality. You don't always have to let them push you around and do what they ask. You can assert your position, as long as you know what motivates them, their personality and how they like to be talked to. Every player is different in that aspect.Eleftherios "Leftos" Aslanoglou

Re: NBA 2k15 MyGM Player Roles
How can you check the expected roles of your existing players? Is the hint about minutes the only info we can get?
If we do a trade, how is the incoming player's role set?Comment

Re: NBA 2k15 MyGM Player Roles
I cant create a thread (dont really know why, maybe because I'm new) but can someone please create one for general MyGM Questions.
I have lots of questions about this mode which I cant find the answer to, neither in the game nor online.
1) What kind of points do I need for those Marketing Campaigns my CFO can run? Seems like I spent them all but I have no Idea where they come from, where I can see how much I've got and how to get new ones.
2) What exactly is Team Image? Seems important to my Owner and even though I'm winning, my team chemistry is good and I'm making some profit my Team Image suffers. How can I influence that part?
3) Player Development
Any tips? I started with the T-Wolves and have lots of potential in the roster but it seems like my players wont grow even though I'm playing them a lot and my team is doing alright.
Is it bad if I choose some special areas for my players to develop? Cause it seems to me like it is. I told Rubio to work on his 3pt shot, his shot-iq etc. and he went from 80 to 78 Overall.
His ratings in nearly every department are going way down while his Shooting abilities merely go up.
4) Training Intensity
This feature seems to be a bit buggy. One day players tell me its way too much, next day they're completely rested. There is no balance at all when it comes to Season-Fatigue (it should be a progress which goes on for months and shouldnt go from 90% to 15% two days later). And because of that Players want me to change the intensity like 3 times a week.
I would really appreciate some explanations/tips for these things.
Didnt play 2k14 myGM last year and I really love this mode so far in 2k15, but some things seem to be either buggy or just not really logical.Comment
