NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

05:00 PM - August 7, 2014 by Steve_OS

We recently had a chance to interview Rob Jones, Sr. Producer Visual Concepts and Erick Boenisch, Sr. Producer, Visual Concepts to talk about a new mode for NBA 2K15 called MyLEAGUE, exclusive for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Before we get into the interview, here is a quick rundown on some of the options. In a nutshell, it’s the Association Mode that we all know and loved on old-gen consoles, on steroids.

MyLEAGUE offers both a single season or up to an 80 year franchise experience. You will have complete control over every aspect of how your league plays out.

Kind of like the Pacers feel with Paul George. I'm going to go cry now.

I'm right there with you. Hopefully one day. But this here is enough for me since it allows us to import the Euro Teams into a MyLeague. I could make me a makeshift Euro Association by swapping the NBA teams out and adjusting the game amount and playoffs to single elimination. If we are allowed, I'll just run two MyLeagues and alternate between the two for my fix. That along with the ridiculous number of options we have will keep me fully immersed in my hoops universe.

As someone who's mainly an Association/Franchise guy and doesn't play online due to ****ty *** internet, I couldn't be happier. 2k have basically locked up my purchase with this.

Its an offline mode with local saves. This mode does not play on their servers.

i understand what your saying but its all about offline who wants to totally play by themselves thats why we like the internet, so u can play with everyone, the on line lgs is where its at . if it breaks everyone will be pissed. thats what people complain about now with 2k 14 , it blows online with my player the park and connections

He's talking about online leagues not the actual MyLeague mode, he's worried that they won't work like in the past

Couch Co-op back in myleague?

am I the only one who realized "the other game" released info admitting their dynasty mode was pushed to the back burner then 2k unleashes their "association on steroids"?

counter-punching indeed

No more Live/2k talk folks. We can talk about this feature without bringing up the other game.

And just like that, 2K has recouped all the trust it lost last year.

I'am really glad they realised they went too far with the VC with 2K14. I was afraid it was only gonna get worse from that point on and become their new standard.

Simballer, Leftos, Czar and to all of the devs and community guys that made this possible, sincerely THANK YOU.

I am grateful and given this news will try to see if I can show it by buying 2K15 and a next /current gen console.

TAKE OFF THAT WACK MYGM MODE..ITS TAKING AWAY FROM OTHER ASPECTS OF THE GAME..NOONE CARES ABOUT MYGM!!!!

# 297 SimBaller @ 08/07/14 10:07 PM

A few tidbits:

Couch Co-op = YES.

I started a new MyLEAGUE earlier today, in the 8th season now. The number of 90+ players in the league in year 8 is the same number as in year 1. Anyone who has a history with our game knows how great that is.

I've seen a few questions about setting injuries manually. That isn't something we support in the game right now. If you guys need it, I'll see if we can add it before ship. No promises, so don't hold it against me if it doesn't make it!

You can trade picks up to 3 years in advance now (instead of 1).

Really, this mode is for you guys. Once you get it, I want to hear what you like, what you don't like, and what you think is missing.

Outstanding news. What a wonderful redirection toward NBA replication. Further, outstanding media delivery. Kudos to OperationSports for the in-depth interview (and 2K's cooperation). It honestly felt like I was reading an OS archived NBA 2K3 interview with Derrick Aynaga. I'll take detailed breakdowns like this any day over hype videos with hashtags and style over substance. Well done, folks.

Some of my favorite aspects mentioned:

-The return of local saves
-Classic teams still present
-VC not being at all required (but still being earn-able)
-16 body part durability, with players capable of breaking down
-Career-ending injuries
-Accessories added to injured players

The majority of this article was gold. For an NBA simulation, I tend to believe in the mantra, "When in doubt, try to imitate real life." This is a great return step in the right direction with many new fun additions to boot. Here's hoping this is just the beginning.

I do not tend to be a guy who knee jerks in one direction or the other very easily ("Not buying!" vs. "Pre-ordering now!) and I understand there's still a long way to go. However, I must say, NBA 2K15 has my attention.

simballer

i would have to see manual injuries is a MUST at this point in gaming.

whats the point of trying to have a realistic myleague if guys like paul george are going to be playing in 2014? If I'm mid myleague and another star goes out for the year i dont want to have to restart myleague i wana just go "hey let me add that injury to him quick" just like in MLB the show

this also refers to being able to add/remove injuries to rosters but thats not as important since they reset at the start of myleague

# 300 nate1986 @ 08/07/14 10:12 PM

Any word on amnesty being in the game
