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.

And i remember leftos or another 2k employee saying they wanted mygm to try a more controlled approach in 2k14. And yeah i'm happy it's back, and i give 2k props for not trying to stick with that god awful mygm mode, but i'm not gonna lose my mind over a mode that was taken away, and then given back when it shouldn't of been taken away in the first place, again, a step back, and a step forward. Glad to have it back, that simple. Nothing more, nothing less. What sliders tho?

Read the article.

Please, don't strawman what im saying man. I don't think it was unrealistic to expect the same association mode and not a watered down mygm mode. I honestly expected a port, with better graphics, and possibly improved gameplay. That's hardly expecting too much. Good to hear! Thanks. Yeah this is why i asked(contrary to others ready to go "stop hating on my game leave 2k alone!") i actually wanted to know if this is the same mode being brought back or an actual big upgrade to the mode. Where did anyone say that though? I certainly didn't, all i said was for me that's not enough for me to really say this game is a day 1 buy because it was a feature that shouldn't of been removed. Stop trying to make it sound like i said nobody should be happy. Also, if they make improvements to defense and team rebounding, as well as passing. I'd be ecstatic too because i always felt like that was a weakness in the gameplay, yeah even in 2k11. But even so, that's not the same as having a feature for years(multiple years by the way) and then taking it out. By the way, did you guys forget the part where i literally said "kudos to 2k for bringing association back" before? I mean damn guys, relax. Anyway, leftos has always been pretty straight forward and i don't see him exaggerating things that are in the game or trying to over hype things, so i'll see what's in store. For me Game play and association are the 2 most important things(in that order too). So i'll be really interested to see when they start doing developer insights or developer diaries as well.

You were quoted because I said just read the interview

The rest of that from 24th leftos and myself was talking with another poster above you.

Did you read anything on the last few pages or did you just start making posts and didn't bother to look at anything?

# 404 King_B_Mack @ 08/08/14 02:44 AM

Man y'all need to read the write up man. This is part of the problem around here. Dudes won't read the full write ups and listen to someone saying something that's giving them their own speculation and start running with that as fact cause they think that's what was in the write ups. Not trying to have a go at you with this lg. Just a general observation I'm seeing.

	MyLEAGUE is just the start of a number of announcements that we believe the OS community will welcome. It’s a mode created for our core user, who wants the NBA just the way they like it. And the best part, there are still a LOT more features (including core logic) for this mode that we’ll be talking about down the line when we talk MyGM (as these features are shared between the two modes). We’re ecstatic to see what you think about our year 2 next gen efforts now that we’ve had a year under our belts with the consoles…

# 405 JTheClip @ 08/08/14 02:46 AM

Thanks, steelers! Like a wise man told me Its levels to this ****, how did you pull that list up though?

# 406 The 24th Letter @ 08/08/14 02:49 AM

Never mind...no need for more point less back and forth

Eh, you should of been more specific then. the whole "don't be mad because others are happy" lined seemed directed at me since you said it right after i posted. But if it wasn't, that's cool then. Just don't like people putting words in my mouth, it's annoying. I've been a little busy today so i haven't had time to read the whole article, but the gist of what i've seen is people are happy association is back. I hadn't heard so much about differences or at least any specific differences from anyone. And when i asked before, i still got some vague answers.

You are taking this conversation off the rails. The article isnt long and over the past 30 minutes to an hour youve posted here a number of times. During that time, you couldve read the short interview instead of posting incorrect assumptions and asking questions.

Actually i was done. My previous post ending saying i'm curious as to what the association upgrades will bring. Let's let this go now and get back on topic.

So, now after checking out the article a bit more. With the player morale options, you have difficulty. But is there an option to turn it off or on?

# 410 Ninjoid @ 08/08/14 03:08 AM

Does the introduction of MyLeague signal a return for cpu v cpu within this mode?

I really hope so.....

Completely, no, but you should be able to set the Morale Difficulty to 0 and Morale Effects to 0 and it shouldn't really affect you all that much.

You can choose to play or watch any game on the schedule.

# 412 vtcha @ 08/08/14 03:16 AM

Hey Leftos,

If one was to play a 14 season MyLEAGUE, are the schedules randomized every season or do they remain constant?

I remember from previous Association modes that it would make me play the same 14 teams every season (all from the same conference). Though I get that it may be necessary in order to determine seedings for Divisions, it would be cool if it was mixed up a little.

Thanks Leftos, much appreciated.

# 414 Smirkin Dirk @ 08/08/14 03:32 AM

This is such a great move.

Im sure it took a lot of guts for 2K to admit there was an error in game design and reverse the trend.

# 415 brahmagoul @ 08/08/14 03:36 AM

Bravo, 2K! I look forward to purchasing this game!

# 416 SteelerSpartan @ 08/08/14 03:55 AM

Thank The Lord

I was worried there for a moment that 2k had lost what I loved most about their games.....

All them glorious options and sliders......yes I'm a nut about that stuff and love my customization abilities in my sports games.

This put a big smile on my face

# 417 Dmanning2 @ 08/08/14 04:46 AM

So will teams with extra draft picks be implemented into this mode?
Like when teams trade their picks?

Ex: Knicks don't have a guaranteed first round AND second pick in the same draft until 2018.

Or

The Lakers will have the Rockets first round pick for the next draft because of the Lin trade.

# 418 Aviator S @ 08/08/14 05:19 AM

Damn this must be the best thing since sliced bread......

# 419 ChrisHansen59 @ 08/08/14 05:31 AM

This is an incredible announcement and I have placed my pre-order.

If Leftos was able to do this for Association, I'm giddy to see the fruits of bedwards' labors.

# 420 kjjnesb @ 08/08/14 05:34 AM

My jaw hit the floor when I read this well done 2K well done.
