Post-Game Podcast - NBA 2K16 Dev Interview with Leftos

[Steve_OS]

The hosts of the Post-Game Podcast recently had a chance to interview NBA 2K16 developer, Leftos Aslanoglou to discuss the recently released blog covering MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online and MyGM.

Give it a listen here and find out what Marc, Corey and Leftos have to say about it.

The guys are back with yet another special edition of the Post-Game Podcast, and this time we brought a guest! Earlier this week, 2K Sports dropped an insane developer diary detailing some HUGE additions and improvements to both MyGM and MyLEAGUE for NBA 2K16. Our hosts had more questions, so naturally, we thought who better to ask then a Greek legend who works on the modes himself, our good friend Leftos Aslanoglou - a #SimNation alum & 2K Sports developer. Together, Marc and Corey ask Leftos about the development process this year and what went into creating some of the new additions, as well as finding out how the team finds the delicate balance between improving what's already there and adding new features each and every year. The Greek, the American and the Canadian dive deep into the new features, including more insight on topics such as: Team Relocation, Team Building, multiple injuries & how they work, offseason improvements, customization and MyLEAGUE Online. The guys also try to clear-up some of the information and early criticism behind the lack of an offseason in MyLEAGUE Online.

This is my first time listening to the Post Game Podcast, and...okay, I have to address the elephant in the room. I know it's been asked before, so forgive me, but...

The host's name is MARK PRICE?!

No. There's no chance it's the same Mark Price that was a supremely-underrated point guard for the Cavs. It's got to be another guy with the same name, sorta like how the Chris Hansen that's trying to bring the Seattle Supersonics back is not the same Chris Hansen from "To Catch a Predator."

EDIT: Right after I posted that, I realized it's Marc, with a C, not a K. My mistake...I'm sure he gets that a lot. I apologize.

Worse, my middle name is Anthony. So if it's not Marc Price it's Marc Anthony so I get it from both sides.

It would have been cool if since they didnt have the time for a full off-season there was an option to have everyone on a 1yr contract with bird-rights on your two highest rated players. And you just rebuilt your team every year through free-agency and competed for top players.

Mark Price is my favorite player of all time.

I haven't listened to the podcast yet but I know it is good.

Will report back when I am done

Not much new information. One thing I didn't see mentioned in the blog though..

-Loss of abilities due to injuries can sometimes be permanent.

Mark Price now coaches at my college. I missed his introduction ceremony, I really wanted to get his autograph. I should get to see plenty of him around campus though, especially being an athletic training major, so I might try to get it then.

MyLeague/MyGM is in very good hands with Mr. Leftos!
