NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

A quick question, we can change the age of the players? I mean, to have Kevin Garnett 20years old for example?

Please add this back. I used to love making older players a couple years younger to stay in the league longer. I hate when the older players retire after one season. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Also have you guys ever considered adding simming quaters and intervening in games? I been playing since 2k5 and have never finished a season without simming games. A lot of us dont have time to play 82 games. With simming quaters it will be way easier to play a whole season.

With the amount of customization options 2K has given us, everyone should be happy with this! For the guys that like to replicate the NBA season exactly, you can do it. For us would be commissioners who think the CPU completes some absolutely ridiculous trade deals, we can block them.

Choosing draft class quality from year to year, how often blockbuster trades happen and everything else in between, this is a basketball fans dream mode and as long as there are no groundbreaking bugs, this is really reason for all of us to celebrate.

We can finally play our Association the way we want it. Has a player been playing above expectations all year, edit his rating to reflect that. This really is a brilliant move by 2K. Just when we thought they had given up on listening to their fans, they show us they still care by doing this. They really proved they listened to all us crazy Association guys feedback from last year.

All I can say is bravo 2K, bravo.

Good feedback so far in the thread. We're enjoying the comments.

Yesterday we added the ability to customize Player Ambitions (Loyalty, Play For Winner, (need for) Financial Security) to whatever you like in the Edit Player feature.

Keep the ideas coming.

I know in the initial interview we learned that there was morale difficulty, but I was wondering if you could simply reset a players morale if needed?

For example, in real life IF Ray Allen signs with Cleveland and doesn't even really get any playing time to start the season, then he probably won't be upset. Especially, since they're likely saving him for late in the season and the post season. However, in past 2k games veteran players always just wanted to play or they would get upset. If we see someone like a Ray Allen or Chauncey Billups, etc with low morale can we just select improve their morale through a setting? And if not, would that be something that you guys could add in?

I plan on only controlling one (maybe two) team(s), so I'm mostly worried about the CPU teams players.

Thanks

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

One thing that was bad in 2k14 is if a player had his morale drop down to 0,and demanded a trade, etc, yet had a player option in the offseason, he would come back the next year.

Happened with Ron Artest and nate Robinson

idk if people realized this but they took it out so they could sell that 2k showcase thing and after they saw what people did with the rosters in 2k11

I think the buyout thing could be tricky and make things a bit unrealistic, depending on the minimum amount players will take for a buyout.

Also there would need to be some type of logic that makes those players take contracts that are lower than what they would normally get and it would have to be only a 1 year deal

It doesn't have to be that hard.

Logic should be tied to the player and team. If the player wants to win a ring he will seek a buyout to join contender. The team makes the trade to cut salary or get future pick or some young player especially when they know they have to play a bigger player to long term deal (Lance).

Teams makes trades to get salaries to match up and to get a future pick and cut salary for players that only have one year left on their deal or they have no intention on paying for cap reasons, or because they have minutes they need to give to younger talent or they are tanking

Granger: Knee injury they had Paul George at SF(same position) and Lance was due money at the time. They knew they were not paying Granger so traded for Turner cheaper option and no injury history (injury 2.0).

Butler: Was waived by the Bucks why because they are either tanking or wanted to develop the young players

But what if kobe wanted to win a ring? He's over age, was injured, big contract.

Basically, things can get a bit tricky

LeBron, Durant, Kobe are superstars they are only getting traded in a blockbuster trade as they should mean a lot to the team losing them.
You have to have 25Million in assets/salary to trade Kobe to even make it worth while. Superstars also stand to lose much more money not signing with a team.

SimBaller,

Are "No Trade" options in the game Kobe has a no trade clause

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

Another thing, Simballer.... I guess this is me wondering if this is in and also suggesting that it should be in if it's not.

I was actually a big fan of Next Gen 2k14 and am still playing it today actually. One thing that hurt MyGM the most (imo) was that big name Free Agents typically waited to sign which resulted in them either going to small market team or a signing contract that was well below their market value.
When in reality they should dictate the market and be the first ones gone.

I know that you guys adjusted the logic so that the FA's now look at others thing, like playing for a winner, before signing and that now we have control over this (if we so choose). However, I was wondering if there was any logic added to make sure that the Lebron's of the world sign first and if not is that something that you guys could look in to?

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

One thing that annoyed me in the past was doing a fantasy draft yet the value of each draft pick carried over with the default ratings. So say for a fantasy draft for the 76ers, even if after the fantasy draft the 76ers had the highest rated team in the league they'd still have a three and a half star trade value for the first round pick of the next two years. It would be lovely if draft pick trade value either was the same for all teams after a fantasy draft or changed so that the highest rated teams had lower pick rating.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

Hey Leftos,

Could the Play for Winner and Loyalty ambitions kind of go hand in hand? What if those ambitions were sliders?

Loyalty----------Play For Winner

Financial Security-----------Will take a pay cut

Small Market-------------Big Market

Having ambitions in slider form would just seems like it would make a little more sense to me, and we could really fine tune players' temperaments.

On second thought I guess it wouldn't be much different from the current system of Very Important to Not Important, but sliders seems to be a theme in MyLeague. Just a little idea I had.

This is actually my most wanted feature.

Re: NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

instead of sliders it would need to be a rating/tendency for each individual player

is it on a scale or just a pick X option?
