I said I'd stop saying it, but I guess some people just don't want to see the work that was put into it, unless you don't consider everything added besides the sliders "work".

Will we be able to have 13 active players instead of 12 in 2k15? The change was made in the NBA about 2 years ago, but it hasn't changed in the 2k series.

But when you take all that we've announced and sum it up as "offline association with a few switches", that isn't constructive in any way. When you say "enough with the spin" when we didn't spin anything, that isn't constructive. I'm here to share my excitement and get feedback about MyLEAGUE. This doesn't help.

Sir, yes sir!


I will shut up now.

I thank you again for responding. I do respect that.

You guys should drop the ban hammer on these guys. Lucky is not that lucky according to this quote.

Anyone else feel like they are living in a dream right now because all the issues they've had with previous 2k games are being fixed?

Hey Leftos, Don't think there are not people here that appreciate you getting on these forums and answer our questions!...

So if you guys have made the prospect scouting a feature with drafting, does this mean the draft classes a little more realistic? as in names, appearance, attributes, tendencies, etc?
...A simple yes or no would be great, I understand that you will go into depth a lot more in the coming weeks about new features regarding MyLeague, But you must understand the anticipation of the hardcore association(MyLeague) guys that spend hours upon hours creating draft classes to keep there associations realistic, if the draft classes don't hold up in realism, the mode can start to fall apart very quickly Leftos!.

I am extremely happy and impressed from what i have heard so far Leftos!

Tendencies have been bad for the longest. I can't tell you how many players drafted in 2k14 have had 0 contest shot tendency. Or so centers with sub 30 contest shot tendency.

And even after a few years, their tendencies don't progress so you literally have guys who never play defense because they don't contest anything.

You also have centers with low back to the basket and a whole bunch of player tendencies the don't make sense for their position.

I always trade away my draft picks in mygm because I player lock, which means that if a guy has 0 contest tendency, I can't even play him because he's a complete liability, whereas if I was controlling him I could contest a shot.


And even beyond drafted players, scottie pippen from the 93 bulls has 57 contest. One of the greatest defensive players of all time has a lower contest shot rating than Kevin Love.

Not to mention that Greg oden had a sub 50 contest shot rating as well, when he was one of the best defensive bigs coming out of college.

It may not matter for players who don't player lock, but for those of us who do, it's bad
