NBA 2K15 MyGM To Distance Itself From VC, Be More Dynamic

[Superman38134]

I saw that Draft Combine is back. Is this feature back in MyCareer as well in a playable form?

on the topic of injuries, how well do they correlate with the new Coach Gameplan hub? in years past, getting star players to average solid minutes was nigh impossible because even one starter getting injured makes the entire teams rotation change (and when said player returns, the rotation remains). is that fixed this year?

also, have the simulation stats been improved from past years?

if you say yes, I'll go pre-order another copy right now

Though, it's worth noting that the 300-450 is about half of what the per year average was for that 10 year span. We just felt this was enough.

so if i upped the injury slider... (or is it more than 1 slider?).. Would i just get more nagging injuries? or would i get a proportionate amount of season ending ones, or 'major' injuries?

I would love if injury frequency and severity were 2 different sliders

Can you start MyGm with the real life draft picks?

The Coach Gameplan has some options for Bench Depth and Bench Utilization that should help give you more control over how the CPU rebuilds your rotation when you automate things.

We did a lot of tuning to try and improve the simulator stats, so I feel they're a lot better this year (the league leader will often actually get double digits in assists per game, for one).

Can you clarify something...When you say "conversations" are MyGM only are you also referring to the "media interviews" or are those in MyLeague aswell?

Will There be new injury animations indicating the type of injury?

We don't have one for severity (good idea for 2K16...). But, we do have ones for CPU Injury Frequency, User Injury Frequency, Career-Ending Injury Frequency, User Injury Effects, CPU Injury Effects.
