I saw that Draft Combine is back. Is this feature back in MyCareer as well in a playable form?

If you're not happy with the tunes, MyLEAGUE has sliders to tweak these (MyGM does not). Both allow you to start with existing injuries on, however...

on the topic of injuries, how well do they correlate with the new Coach Gameplan hub? in years past, getting star players to average solid minutes was nigh impossible because even one starter getting injured makes the entire teams rotation change (and when said player returns, the rotation remains). is that fixed this year?

also, have the simulation stats been improved from past years?

if you say yes, I'll go pre-order another copy right now

For MyGM and MyLEAGUE with default slider settings, you'll see about 300-450 total injuries per year.

We found some data on NBA injuries over a 10 year span and tried our best to model our system as closely to the data as possible with respect to which body parts gets injured the most and the frequency of each type of injury. Though, it's worth noting that the 300-450 is about half of what the per year average was for that 10 year span. We just felt this was enough.

so if i upped the injury slider... (or is it more than 1 slider?).. Would i just get more nagging injuries? or would i get a proportionate amount of season ending ones, or 'major' injuries?

I would love if injury frequency and severity were 2 different sliders

Can you start MyGm with the real life draft picks?

The Coach Gameplan has some options for Bench Depth and Bench Utilization that should help give you more control over how the CPU rebuilds your rotation when you automate things.

We did a lot of tuning to try and improve the simulator stats, so I feel they're a lot better this year (the league leader will often actually get double digits in assists per game, for one).

Yes; prospect storylines, combine and pre-draft workouts will be in both MyLEAGUE and MyGM.

Can you clarify something...When you say "conversations" are MyGM only are you also referring to the "media interviews" or are those in MyLeague aswell?

Will There be new injury animations indicating the type of injury?

We don't have one for severity (good idea for 2K16...). But, we do have ones for CPU Injury Frequency, User Injury Frequency, Career-Ending Injury Frequency, User Injury Effects, CPU Injury Effects.

That sounds better than my idea... lol
Thanks for the quick response

[eye guy]

It sounds good but how will the CPU use this information to not sign injury prone players?

Will either mode see a Summer League?

Both modes start with an "approximation" of the real life draft picks. Since we don't support conditional picks, we made our best guesses on how these would play out. Also, we only allow trading picks up to 4 years ahead, so if there are any traded picks beyond 2018, those won't be in the game.

The press conferences are a part of the conversation system, so they're just in MyGM and not in MyLEAGUE.

Now I can try and rebuild my Lakers without any pick

Also..it was said that there would be college and international simulated stats..are this done per draft class or are 4 draft classes required since there are obviously 4 years of college?
