Players only become Assistant Coaches and from there can be promoted to Head Coaches. That's an interesting thought though, do you have any real-life examples of players becoming staff members in other positions? Can't think of one off the top of my head.

Leftos, do you think that it might be possible for us to have a say on who becomes available as an assistant or FA assistant ? ... maybe by making interactive the retired players screen at the end of the season ... something like we just check/mark there and enables their staff availability ... it goes hand in hand with the level of control my league seems to aim ... also a create a staff would be a welcomed addition.

And maybe something within this:

Wasn't Darrell Armstrong a player development coach for Dallas the year they won?

Leftos, if this is not in my league you should consider it. Nba 2k last gen had in association mode where a user could schedule a practice on the whole team. For my league and association mode last gen it would be nice to not only schedule a practice for the whole team, but for a individual player too.

Jared Jeffries became a scout for the Nuggets. That's one I can think of off the top of head. I'm pretty sure there's much more. I think it would be cool for lower rated players (Perhaps based on Potential even..) became positions other than coaches. Not saying they can't be coaches altogether, but just a thought I had.

Edit: If it counts, Allan Houston is assistant GM of the Knicks, while Juwan Howard works on player development with the Heat. There's more than that, I'm sure.

So far this game is everything I needed it to be for me to buy it day 1... I really didn't expect them to go all out like this..

Now Im just waiting for this "robust" create a player!

One thing that I know is too late now but would love for 2K15 is the ability to edit staff and give or take away badges. I know guys sometime got badges but it was extremely infrequent. Like others have mentioned a lot of guys end up becoming scouts/GMs and the like.

Wow, I was going to make NHL 15 my first PS4 purchase before buying MLB 15 the Show this spring. But, with the lack of modes and communication by EA for NHL 15 and the fact that this game looks incredibly in depth, I might just have to make NBA 2K15 my "fall/winter" game this year. Excellent work 2K and thank you for your willingness to communicate with the community. The NBA 2K and MLB the Show dev crews do it right!
