NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

JUST TAKE MY MONEY NOW!

It wasn't totally clear, but hopefully this addresses some of my biggest gripes with the series:

- Injuries affecting rotations. The logic has been terrible in Association mode when a player gets hurt with an injury that they can play through but they are automatically sent to the reserve list and don't play, or are reduced to a meaningless 5-8 minutes per game at the bottom of the rotation. This is beyond frustrating especially in the playoffs. I did an association recently and in the ECF went to game 7 against Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade suffered a minor injury that put him at "hurt" status but he could have played through, instead he was designated to the reserve list and didn't play in game 7, it was very frustrating and cheapened the experience.

- Hopefully there is a way to designate 6th men to be just that, the 6th man and not in the starting lineup. When striving for realism it gets frustrating to play against the Spurs with Manu in the starting lineup, especially since he hasn't been a starter since what 2005?

- And finally, playoff rotations. AI logic should differentiate regular season lineups and playoff lineups. In the playoffs, generally the starters minutes increase, and the rotation shrinks from 10-12 guys to 8-10. It's annoying playing against scrubs for a few minutes during an important playoff game.

If those are addressed, I think this game will be damn near a 10/10. I'm super psyched for this mode! I know it says XB1/PS4 exclusive but I'm still holding out hope that the PC gamers get some love too!

I might just have to try and get a PS4 for this
We can finally get rid of the salary cap and there's no VC in this mode, sounds like 2K actually has a heart.

This is only the first taste of how much we've been listening to you, what you liked and what bothered you for 2K14. There's a lot more of that coming.

Will the CPU teams rotations stay as-is-as-well?

I'm glad they finally put in some effort towards the association stuff. Stopped playing around 2K10 but I guess maybe they had more time or just better hardware to implement these things we been wanting.

Definitely happy with what they've shown so far, hopefully they got some good MyCareer and online MyCareer stuff and this could be a perfect game..assuming gameplay's been touched upon.

I've been on record for quite awhile that I wouldn't purchase 2K15, but I must say, this is a big step in the right direction (for ME). I think we should temper our excitement though, as as good as it reads, things still have a funny way of getting funky once you get your hands on it.

And of course, if everything listed works perfectly, it won't mean jack if the GAMEPLAY doesn't reciprocate. That said, I'm quite pleased by what I read here, and am hoping that the on-court portion of the game is up to par. If so? Well, we as a people ARE entitled to change our minds yes?

Are teams going to start with their original draft picks and not the default 2 1st rounders and 2nd rounders every team starts with in previous 2k's? Would be awesome to actually pick a team like Philly and Boston have all their picks they have accumulated and work on rebuilding them. Would only make this mode sweeter I think.
