No, I do that too. I will take 6 or 7 FU shots with Kobe a game, because I know it's the right(wrong) thing to do, it's in his DNA. I would imagine that a lot of us play that way, it adds such an interesting psychological and emotional component to the game. You're Role-Playing in a sports game.

if you're looking for a coach co-op with your bud, check out MyLEAGUE when the game drops. MyGM is single player only.

by the way, here was what was in the podcast:

Spoiler

tried not to include stuff that were in previous articles and interviews. still might have missed something though.

New Stuff:

Free Agency
-no position stacking
-CPU takes into account the coach's style of play and 'personality' (as well as team needs) when signing or drafting guys

Development
-3 categories of attributes: Fundamental, Tactical (IQ), Conditioning

-Tactical attributes develop later on (if not high already)
-Conditioning peaks early and dwindles later
-Fundamental has a basic development curve with little drop off

so basically, top notch shooters (like Allen for example) remain good when old, are wiser with experience, and don't speed down the court.

-all 3 categories of attributes can be developed further on days with no games. or it can be a rest day, you choose. player personalities are affected by your decisions though. guys with no work ethic badge may not want to be in the gym all the time and respond negatively.

-you can develop players to whatever playstyle you want. if you think a guy you just drafted would be better suited to fill a specific playstyle, you can choose that option and the game will put him in training camps that mold his attributes towards it. again player personalities take affect and the players will come to you and tell you if you're not training them towards a style that they even like.

-some player personality badges: work ethic, expressive, egotism, motivated, reserved

General
-per 36 stats are IN (no more having to use my phone calculator!! lol)
-coaches have a Bench Depth (5-13 instead of 0-100) and Bench Utilization (determines minutes of bench players)
-SimCast (allows you to jump into games or continue on in simulation)
-huge variation of team win totals and player talent
-assistant GMs can do some conversations for you but this can piss players off
-age, measurements, ratings and contracts can all be edited

**besides the conversation system & 30 team control, all of the new features and improvements are shared between MyGM and MyLEAGUE**

Thanks dude I appreciate that atleast to
Me it seems like my league is like the association was

[coach k411]

Has anything been confirmed on having the option to have 29 game seasons in mygm. Dont have time to play 82 games and dont wanna sim part of the season to enjoy my dynasty that I wanna play

[CD90]

Leftos, i have a question about the gameplan.
We can set up a different gameplan for each opponent once the season starts. This includes starting lineups and rotations, correct?

What happens when one of my players gets injured? Do i have to change all gameplans? Will the game automatically substitute this player and put him back on the gameplan when he is healthy again?
How does it work?

My 2K14 Credits will pass to 2K15?

Ooo. What if there's a Coachability rating? The rating would influence how happy or unhappy the player gets from diverting fom his preferred role and tendencies. So a Josh Smith wouldn't be happy unless he was launching a few threes. A coachable player (especially a youngster) may be happy with their game being reshaped.


Now you combine that with the Mentor rating for coaches. Pop and the Spurs can shape Kawhi into a star from a player without a jumpshot. While a Kevin Mchale has to pretty much let a Harden do whatever he wants.


Speaking of which, coaches should maybe get Emotion Badges too.

Phil Jackson -- "Zen Master": Can get multiple stars to buy in and reduces clashes between players with "Ego" and "Alpha" badges.

Popavich -- "Disciplinarian": Boost to players' offensive awareness when executing plays.

Mark Jackson -- "Motivator": Boost to players' rhythm after timeouts when NOT executing plays.
