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.

I'm sorry, but no. Injuries, gameplan, all new prospect scouting (that we haven't even gone in depth about) and a plethora of other Franchise features (common between MyGM and MyLEAGUE) that we'll discuss in a future announcement, are all new features that were added.

I said I'd stop saying it, but I guess some people just don't want to see the work that was put into it, unless you don't consider everything added besides the sliders "work".

If your real beef is you want it online then just be honest and say that instead of discrediting the tons of work they have put into myleague, acting as if it's nothing but 'small' additions.

This amount of customization makes Madden's career stuff look stoneage. It's ground breaking for sports games career modes.

Here's the thing. I get your want for an online franchise mode. I really do. But when you take all that we've announced and sum it up as "offline association with a few switches", that isn't constructive in any way. When you say "enough with the spin" when we didn't spin anything, that isn't constructive. I'm here to share my excitement and get feedback about MyLEAGUE. This doesn't help.

Can we keep the online talk out of this thread?

At this point this has been an offline mode thread and we'd rather not derail it with more online talk.

You guys stop ignoring us telling you to leave the online stuff out of here.

I never said they should focus solely on the last gen, but the fact remains that 2k14's association mode had a lot of problems that was never fixed from 2k13. Them shipping out the same exact thing with no form of updates or problem fixes is going the EA route straight up. I'm excited for this mode, but what's the point if it's not at least on the PC version of the game (the version I play). Not revamping the mode entirely on the 360 or PS3 is one thing, shipping out the same mode with the same problems is another. I hope this isn't the case, as the PC version should be able to handle all the graphical updates 2k14 on the new console had, and still not drop in FPS.

You guys should drop the ban hammer on these guys. Lucky is not that lucky according to this quote.

Yes, you will.

Hey Leftos, Don't think there are not people here that appreciate you getting on these forums and answer our questions!...

So if you guys have made the prospect scouting a feature with drafting, does this mean the draft classes a little more realistic? as in names, appearance, attributes, tendencies, etc?
...A simple yes or no would be great, I understand that you will go into depth a lot more in the coming weeks about new features regarding MyLeague, But you must understand the anticipation of the hardcore association(MyLeague) guys that spend hours upon hours creating draft classes to keep there associations realistic, if the draft classes don't hold up in realism, the mode can start to fall apart very quickly Leftos!.

I am extremely happy and impressed from what i have heard so far Leftos!

# 590 mpac @ 08/11/14 12:43 AM

Im very happy with every details I hear about 2k15! Quick question since we will now have a 13 active roster (nice!), will the auto sub feature still spread the minutes for the whole 13 players, or can we set it like a 8-9 man rotation, to which wont heavily affect the roles?

Just a curious one, of course without this I can still use the manual sub option, though at times I prefer to do auto sub thing and let the CPU do the subs for me

thanks!

Bench Depth has been converted to a range between 5 and 13 and affects rotations in a revamped way along with a new slider called Bench Utilization. Bench Utilization is a 0-100 slider which determines how much the coach goes to the however many players he brings in off the bench. Different coaches will have different strategies and utilize completely different rotations from other coaches.

So, for example, I could have a coach with a low bench depth and high bench utilization, meaning that although few players come off the bench, they all get plenty of minutes. A low bench depth and low bench utilization means the coach brings few players off the bench and even then doesn't play them a lot.

Any combination, really.

Man Leftos you and the crew ain't right. I was hoping to keep playing 2K14 until I could get my hands on 2K15. After this thread though and these nuggets dropped in the last few pages, I can't take my mind off this mode long enough to give 14 the time of day.

I'll do my best not to do that again.

...

Not really.

Leftos putting in OT!

This is like the old 2k.. interaction and shows confidence and excitement in this area willing to pour out about it like this.

Just wondering ... will some of the old features regarding the draft classes be back, such as the scrimmages, 2v2, 3v3 etc? Or maybe even more in-depth like a draft combine?

Woah! This will be a great addition. This has been one of my top wishlist since I start playing 2k. thanks for the quick response, Leftos! Keep the good stuff comin, sir!

Leftos,

Does the gameplan feature include any stat tracking or game film/scouting to let you know how the team beat you last time VIP or anything similar?

# 598 XtremeDunkz @ 08/11/14 01:23 AM

Leftos I have a question.

As a Sixers fan. I could not play realistically because if I sat Nerlens Noel for the season he would get disgruntled and demand a trade. Can we choose to have preexisting injuries so I can have Embiid out for the season, and have Paul George out for the year?

Also, any way to get Dario Saric in the game after season 2?

Ground breaking but not offered for online enjoyment with your fellow gamers?

Erick (SimBaller) already responded to this question saying that he'll look into whether we can get it in before ship, but again, no promises.
