    Mr.Smif, I don't know what you are talking about, but it is implemented during user vs cpu games. I don't know if you can go back and fourth, but you can do it against the cpu

      Now only of they allowed you to spectate MyGm mode. This has been something I have been missing severely in MyGm and Maddens CFM.

        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!

                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

                      I think ultimately the problem with this feature will be VC integration. 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.

                        Re: NBA 2K15's SimCast is its Most Underrated Feature

                        It has been hinted at here but can you REENTER a sim cast game? I cannot find an option. I entered the sim cast as I was getting blown out in the 1stQ, entered the game, got a 10 point lead, changed the o and d, then wanted to just is cast..NOT sim to the end and lose all the VC! But I also want to be able to REENTER the game if things go south...is any of this possible? I cannot find an optio other than save and quit I'd sim to the end. I hope they allow resin casting back and forth cause this makes the game SO much better for season play!

                        And where Is the option to use the SPARTA pitch or ANY team chemistry pitch? I have it unlocked but no option any place for this either!

                        Thanks guys..have fun!

                          You cant enter simcast during a game.

                            I'm have the same question as you. I do not believe that you can, but what I do is (on the Xbox1) tap A to start simulation then quickly tap it again as quick as I can. This seems to move possession by possession. This is how I do it while making gameplan changes throughout. Wish there was a fast forward/slow down option, but for now this works fine. Hope this helps.

                              Ty,
                              Would be nice if you could enter more than once though. Why would they care how many times you go in a out...makes playing out a whole season a lot more fun yet quicker.

                                Has anybody been having a problem with the playbook being incorrect when entering a game from Simcast?

                                It doesn't seem to happen every time but sometimes when I enter the game I get the default playbook for the team and not the customized one that I created.
