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.

Dear Simballer - Leftos:

1. Injuries.
Yes, please concede us the ability to manually place a player out with a given injury ... or make him comeback. If possible for (offline) quick games too, not just the mode.

And since you are interested on our feedback of things, how about these ?

2. Picks and their trading values.
Can you relate picks (trade) values directly to mock drafts on a given specific timeframe ? ... why ? because this gets rid of picks overvalue or undervalue ... from iteration to iteration there are times that is one way or the other.

On some game versions, a 1st pick would make possible to obtain a franchise player but on other versions, wouldnt. Independently of the draft quality. Also it doesnt go hand to hand with most custom rosters if preset otherwise. My proposal will allow a pick value (for trading purposes) to be meassured against the mocked rookies and their overall and potentials, allow to flow as the season goes and instead of been related to preset arbitrary value. This way, if draft classes were full of prominent rookies, teams wouldnt be so inclined to trade them ... or they would be inclined if it were a low quality draft class.

Couldnt get from the interview, maybe due to my native language not been english, but:

3. Do we get to alter for each player (not only league wide) their motivations such as money, winning, etc ?

4. Do we get to individually set/alter the stances on wich each team is into, in regards of roster moves, like contending, staying pat, rebuilding ?

5. Do we get to manually and individually set/alter the chemestry % base for each team ?

6. Do we get to individually set/alter the stance on wich each team is into, in regards of drafting, such as going for best skills, going for team positional need, going for best potential, going for X role type ?

7. Do in game rotations now consider team depth charts and players roles ?

8. Do Total Sim Control makes its way back in, balancing the ability to alter on court and off court results ?

9. Can we have create/edit a staff (coaches, assistants, etc) and staff carrousel ?

10. In respect of create a player (be it for this mode or in general, even for my players), can we not be forced to have a nickname ?

11. Can we hope to see NBDL (fully editable this time around), Draft Combine and Summer League be reintegrated sometime further on ?

12. Can we hope to have as many roster/created players/created teams saves as free hard drive space we have ?

Hopefully I dont burn you guys with so many Qs and I would love if some of these can be added this year but if not, no biggie, we can wait until next year or the next.

Ehh that doesn't really work that well since in real life some teams will run a 9 man rotation. If you set it to CPU then all 12 will get minutes

That sounds great...I think may pre-order it tomorrow.

Why ? lol. Where's the urgency.

# 346 vtcha @ 08/07/14 11:46 PM

Any chance of the CPU initiating 3-team trades either among each other or with the user?

In the past, it's probably been the most difficult thing to execute from a user's standpoint.

# 347 The 24th Letter @ 08/07/14 11:53 PM

The amount of options in this mode is silly, lol

Looks like was taken directly from a wish list thread...

# 348 MADEMAN3000 @ 08/07/14 11:54 PM

Why is anyone excited that Association mode is now being made OFFLINE only??

Is 2K crazy?

Did I read that right? NO online Assoc?

Except the request for it to be ONLINE???

Like EVERYTHING else in the year 2014? My HDTV is "smart" why in the world would ASSOCIATION NOT BE SMART????

And why is anyone excited about that?

Except the SMALL fact that it's NOT online?????

Are you guys not reading the fine print here???

# 351 McNulty @ 08/08/14 12:02 AM

Absolutely thrilled. Really setting the standard for all sports games with this kind of control and accessibility, including MLB The Show (which I did not think was possible given 2K14.) More importantly, the most glaring issues from last year's version-- VC, lack of CAP's, 30 team control, local saves-- seem to be addressed in some form or fashion.

What a turn-around a year makes.

Online leagues are in and there is a good amount of people here (me included) who dont care that MyLeague isnt online.

Yea that's true but the issue or really non issue with 30 team control was that the CPU would not make any trades and the you had to manually do the draft. I love the concept of 30 team control but it kind of takes away going against the CPU if the CPU does not make any trades and does not draft if you set everything except for rotations for the CPU to do.

	The first question is the question everyone is wondering, will virtual currency play any role in MyLEAGUE? VC doesn’t play any part in this mode, except that you can earn VC as games are played. MyLEAGUE was created specifically for members in our community that wanted a way to spend their time playing the game at its core.

	Trade Negotiations Difficulty • Contract negotiation difficulty • CPU re-Resigning Aggressiveness • Morale difficulty and effects • Chemistry difficulty and effects • Trade frequency settings • Blockbuster trade frequency • Injury effects • Draft class quality • Player progression rate • In-season training effects • Player non-financial ambitions factor • Normalize played to sim minutes • Can manage/play with all teams

# 355 CyberRudy25 @ 08/08/14 12:12 AM

I'm so Happy they listened to the community.

# 356 AirJordanFan93 @ 08/08/14 12:14 AM

So pretty much its Association with a new name. Thats really cool they gave us an offline mode this year as opposed to another year with MyGM. Im still swayed towards live but I do like the sound of this mode.

# 357 SavoyPrime @ 08/08/14 12:16 AM

Any word on CPU vs CPU in MyLEAGUE?

# 358 EMan77 @ 08/08/14 12:19 AM

"VC plays no part in this mode."

(Until we add it back in with the first patch.)

Yup, it'll happen.

# 359 vtcha @ 08/08/14 12:26 AM

The only thing new that has been implemented is the additional customization of Association sliders (i.e., trades, injuries, off-season shenanigans, player progression, etc.). I give 2K props for that.

A lot has already been implemented in past 2K titles.

I mean 2K14 was so bad (aside from graphics) that we're all cheering about saving files locally and don't need VC to play? *insert A.I voice* I mean we talkin' bout saving files ... haha ... Can you imagine me telling you this prior to the release of next-gen consoles?

p.s. I'm happy for these changes but ya'll need to calm down

This is only the first taste of how much we've been listening to you, what you liked and what bothered you for 2K14. There's a lot more of that coming.

Can we get ONLINE ASSOCIATION mode info now please?

I don't see why 2K doesn't do like Madden and just combine ALL these modes into one.
