Sim ahead to 4th quarter?

[voodoo_magic]

Is NBA2K finally going to be like other sports games and allow you to sim ahead in a game and then let you finish.
I don't have time to play 12 minute quarters so that I get realistic stats and scores.
The way they have it where you can play and then the cpu finishes the game is backwards, but also shows that the game can be simmed up until we want to take over so it seems like this is possible to put in.

quoted from leftos
Since some of you can score in 8 min quarters as many points as I do with the Pistons in 12 min quarters, you can set your played minutes to 8, sim minutes to 12, and at the end of the game the players' box scores and season stats will have all their stats, but the minutes will have been extrapolated to be as if you played 12 min quarters. This will allow you to play a different quarter length than what you sim but have your minutes be consistent with everyone else in the league.

So if I play 6 minute quarters and sim 12, a player that played 18 minutes in my game will show up in the box-score after the game as having played 36.

Wait...is that "confirmed" to be in 2k15?

Adjusted stats to 48 minute games, or just the mins?

I think what he tried to ask is 'will we be able to sim three quarters and jump ahead to play the fourth?'

Only the minutes are adjusted. The stats are left at whatever you got in X amount of minutes.

This. The OP just wants to know if we can sim portions of a game and jump back in when we would like to.

Oh ok. . Pretty cool with the adjusted minutes, will help out in the overall stat department indeed.

But seriously, I really wish there was any sort of sim intervention this year.

MLB2k9 had it for goodness sake.

If it's like previous years and you do a sim to end of game it treats it based on whatever quarter length you're using. I played with 9 minute quarters and if I did a sim to end after the first quarter my team would generally score in the 45-50 point range over the final three quarters.

The feature mentioned in the OP is by biggest wishlist item. I love to play full seasons and play as much of every game as possible. It would be cool to be able to sim part of games and jump in during the 3rd or 4th quarter and finish the game out. It would make it way easier to make it through multiple seasons.

NBA Live 08 even had it. It's boggled my mind how no basketball game since has done it. It's not like it can be hard to do if EA could do it in 07-08.
