NBA 2K15 MyLEAGUE Interview

04:00 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.

Thank you so much 2K devs/producers. I skipped 14 because of what was lacking but I've sat here the past few hours and read every post in this thread because I'm so excited for 15.

Can't wait to hear the other core improvements to the mode. I'm wondering if sim stats have been fixed. It's usually really good the first season but sim 3-4 years out and the rebounding, PPG, and assists stats start getting out of whack. I spend a lot of time tweaking the rosters, rotations, and such to get the stats looking realistic but it would be great if it worked right out of the box.

One of the 2k devs mentioned that there are just as many 90+ rated players in year 8 as there are in year 1 of myleague when he simmed, so hopefully that is a positive sign on how stats will look too. That should also help with free agency signing logic too, but only if the 80+ rated players in year 8 are similar to year 1 as well.

According to Leftos, you can watch games as well.

I am for sure getting 2k15 now. I just need to wait for a promotion similar to the Best Buy Madden one and then I will pre-order.

# 506 shaunbot @ 08/08/14 04:51 PM

The only real question I have is if you can change the sliders after seasons, say you want to change the salary cap amount in 2016 free agency to reflect the new TV deal, or if you want a particularly tough market contract market (like this years) in some free agency periods. Or is it all set before you enter the franchise?

# 507 RyanLaFalce @ 08/08/14 04:56 PM

If Summer and D-League get added, this will be the greatest franchise mode ever created.

I knew I wasn't the only one! I've wanted a really in-depth relocation/expansion feature for EVER. I've been wanting to move the Kings to Seattle or create an expansion there.

Literally, if you wanted control over "X" aspect of the league/mode, now you have it! Even ignoring the things they've added, there are so many ways to customize every little aspect of the mode (trade difficulty, contract negotiation difficulty and non-financial player interests therein, etc) that it is completely crazy and ignorant to say "this is just the old association mode added back in". People need to either improve their reading comprehension skills or learn to appreciate drastic changes/inclusions such as MyLEAGUE.

First of all, there's absolutely no reason for that kind of tone in your post. If you want to have a discussion or get a point across, being reasonable and approachable is a good start.

To address your post, my reading comprehension skills are just fine. And if you had bothered to do more than skim my post, you'd notice that I made clear mention that the things they implemented will enhance the mode but will not (in my opinion) be immersive and highly noticeable. Rather, the additions they haven't gone into detail about are what I believe will have a bigger impression on their audience.

I think most diehard Association players have wanted this for a long time now. I know I have.

Maybe it's one of the new features they haven't talked about yet.

# 511 ItsOrangeBaby @ 08/08/14 05:09 PM

I wonder if they are going to allow custom rosters for the online leagues, but outside of that it seem like 2k15 is going to be my offline game this year.

# 512 raiderphantom @ 08/08/14 05:10 PM

This is the biggest single year improvement on a sports game I think I've ever seen.

# 513 turty11 @ 08/08/14 05:11 PM

while this factors into myleague a bit its not exactly what id call on-topic so forgive me if i am out of place here.

---to anyone with 2k,

would it be possible to give us :

: are wingspans returning?
: are there any new ratings categories besides durability breakdown?
: are there any new tendency category/changes?
: any new sig skills/are they returning? (i know this one is a major stretch)

Sorry, this question was actually answered in this thread, not in the interview. My bad. Here's the post by Leftos answering your question:

I didn't mean to come off as "unreasonable and unapproachable". I had just seen far too many posts basically saying "this is just the exact same old association mode people, 2k sucks so stop being happy" type posts around the time I replied to yours, so unfortunately you got lumped into the group of people I was annoyed with.

I realize the rest of your post said that the additions will enhance the mode, but I 100% outright disagree with your assessment that the HUGE amount of customization options being added will "not be immersive or noticeable". 2k just put complete control in your hands, allowing you to have the EXACT type of experience (in almost every single facet) that you want. That, to me, is the DEFINITION of immersive.

Sorry for the tone in my precious post. I am just very passionate about customization in video games, and the fact that a substantial amount of people posting here are unable to see just how incredible and revolutionary this mode is going to be (if it plays as advertised) really grinds my gears.

I hope that the D-League is included with all this.

I doubt it. It wouldve been mentioned if it was. Its also a feature that I think only the hardest of hardcore fans really care about. I liked that the teams were in the game but I dont recall ever playing with them or utilizing them to improve younger players.

And this is just one awesome mode. We have so much more to talk about. I'm constantly seeing things this year that are making my jaw drop.

# 519 turty11 @ 08/08/14 05:54 PM
