MyGM Impressions On the 15th From Those With a PS4

[Melbournelad]

I know many of you guys are getting a PS4 on the 15th, but for those of us who have to wait until the 22nd for Xbox One, I thought this would be a good way to organise your MyGM impressions and answer any questions that we have.

I'll start it off with the main aspects I'm sure most of us MyGM/Association players want to know:

1. Easily the most important one. How is potential? Is it a linear progression? Are there other factors that dictate whether a player reaches their potential? Is the league a mess after five years because potential is far too high for most players?

2. Trade logic and free agent logic. How is it? Is Chris Paul going to be signing with Cleveland to be Kyrie Irving's backup? Do teams hand out contracts based on stats as opposed to "overall rating"? Do teams actually have a plan when team building? Do rebuilding teams trade away veterans for picks and prospects? Do contending teams do the opposite? Do some teams opt to stay mediocre long term (Bucks), and others trade away talent to set themselves up with cap space? Do teams trade away stars if they have half a year left on their contract and are likely to leave?

3. The sim engine. In team stats, do most teams still have a disproportionate amount of FTA, too few 3FGA, and subsequently way too high FG%? Is Total Sim Control still in the game? If so, has it been expanded and is there a wider range of results from it?

4. How is the ability to promote assistant coaches and sign other teams assistant coaches?

5. Does each team have all their real staff members, from assistant coaches, to scouts, to trainers?

These are the most important questions IMO, but feel free to add anything else for the PS4 guys to answer in two days.

Edit: 6. Are all the rules of the 2011 CBA finally implemented? Can we do sign and trades? Does the salary cap still randomly go up by 2 million every year like it did in CG and 2k13?

No worries bro, are you going to be getting the PS4 on release day?

Of course, I got it sitting here at home just waiting for my PS4 tomorrow. I'm gonna let you guys vote on the team you want me to control on MyGM. Then, you can interact with me on the twitch stream, help me make decisions, etc. be my assistant GMs of sort

I hope I'll somehow get my hands on a PS4 when it lauches in Europe Nov. 29th. Was too slow with my pre-order and now they're sold out...

Until then I'll spend most of my time in this thread as Gosens6 assistant! Thanks a bunch for doing this for those of us that won't be able to enjoy this game for another 2 weeks.

Hopefully we can edit tendencies in mygm.

I'll be diving in extensively in MyGM, probably pulling an all-nighter on it.

I also hope salary isn't tied directly to overall. Players should be paid based on their market value, just like in real life. If you have a great player, but he's injury prone, teams aren't gonna take a risk by giving him a max contract. Same for things like attitudes/personalities (since these are features that exist in the game). Things like this should be reflected in the game.
