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.

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?

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

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.

Leftos, I have a question of my own.

Now, I already have the game pre-ordered, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to change that based on your answer to this question.

I played 2K14 on PS3, because I didn't have a PS4 at the time (I finally got one last month). One thing was removed from that game that was in 2K13--and I'd really like to know about it, since as minor as it was, I loved using it...and if this was in PS4 2K14, forgive me.

Is the animation for underhand free throws back in the game?

# 605 kisstopher5 @ 08/11/14 12:36 AM

YES! The mode us offline players have been DYING for for years now. This has me so excited for 2K15. I've not bought at 2K NBA game at launch in I think 3 years. That streak is now over.

# 606 jpshua15 @ 08/11/14 12:49 AM

Lol lets not turn this into a Leftos Questionare ...

# 607 Blu1ce20 @ 08/11/14 02:41 AM

Leftos

With drafting, will there be the ability to work the draftee out? Ie actually see the draftee go thru shoot around or use him in some fashion prior to drafting him?

I just hope the draftees are actually realistic!

Well i believe i have mentioned before to you and everyone else on OS about one particular person that i hate most in 2k dev. team and whom i believe is your Senior smt. Erick B. i just hate the guy bcs of all the fuss he created with OA in 2k12 and afterwards, then he's gone into dust never heard anything from him. It was a failure and i remember him promising LOTS of stuff happening and words like it's a ground for so many things in the future with OA establishment back in the day.

None has been delivered NEVER.

So i hope; - Leftos as a person i like in 2k dev team and i've been having interactions with you as a gamer way b4 your assignment to 2k and since you got the job you are doing a fantastic job of listening to us - I sincerely hope that you won't be like E. B. in the future in my radar.

I hope MyLeague Mode will be delivered like it is said on paper.

Thanks again.

PS: Lol i have really hold a grudge against that guy for so long.

I see you Erick.

It's great that 2K seems to 'get it'. Putting the powers in users hands is what fans want. If we want to edit rosters to have 12 guys on the roster who stand 7'10, rated 99 and we win every game by 150 points, we should be allowed. If we find that fun, let us do it.

Im sure a few ill find exploits to get VC or whatever.

99% of the people who wanted this mode will use it in a fair way to replicate the league we love.

Its features like this that made me fall in love with 2k.

It was restrictive versions like 2K14 that made me loathe the direction.

Also, dont forget the fact we can play this offline. That's huge. We all remember not being able to play during the server meltdown. I couldnt play for another 2 weeks after I moved house.

I usually don't put too much stock in "developer talk/hype". But damn man, 2K is getting ridiculous now. MyLeague is all I know about NBA 2K15 and it alone (from what I have read) is enough to fully justify my purchase. And this here is just the beginning. NBA 2K is entering Batman Arkham Knight & Destiny levels of excitement, now. I haven't been this excited for a sports game, ever really. October seems so far away...

# 612 TonGunne @ 08/11/14 10:45 AM

I want to know if we can change the players age. It's not a big deal, but start a myleague with classic players with 20 years old would be so cool!

# 613 ronyell @ 08/11/14 11:03 AM

you have NO idea just how happy this all makes me... IF implemented as explained. i may very well gett to start my MYLeague/association before January now!

Leftos - I see & applaud you chiming into this thread & I know more info is coming but VERY important to me is these 5 questions

- will there be a "start MYLeague from "Today" option like there was in last year's last-gen?

- what will determine the CPU's rotation & starters (hoping to be able to go back to doing a 1-user league)?

- If controling only one team; will we still be able to oversee any aspects of other teams startegy, moves, rotations or gameplan; be it through toggling to that team or changing teams temporarily?

- will d-league, euro-leauge or SOME other form of prospecting, refinement league be integrated with MYLeague (not importing euro teams into)?

- Will progression be mostly none physical ratings & digression (accompanied by injuries) be tied more to physical ratings?

PS - 6th question

- Is All-star weekend still in?

# 614 BobbyColtrane @ 08/11/14 11:14 AM

Thank you 2K. Leftos your contribution to this series is unreal, both before and after joining the team.

I was going to stick with the PC version another year but this blew all of that away. Can't wait for release now.

# 615 midwestking100 @ 08/11/14 11:26 AM

I really hope we can edit some of these classic players attributes. Especially their hairstyles, face, gear and shoes.

# 616 23 @ 08/11/14 11:59 AM

As a reminder this isn't a qa. Leftos can answer whatever he wants bit he's not obligated so please understand that.

Before this stuff takes on a life of its own.

# 617 Rensational14 @ 08/11/14 12:00 PM

Im really interested in how potential is going to work out. Is it like now, when players reach their max potential at all costs, not taking in account playing time and injuries for example?

# 618 23 @ 08/11/14 12:06 PM

I'm no association guy but I think I'm going to try this. Wonder if season mode is there too

# 619 exposedaking @ 08/11/14 12:33 PM

I can't wait to find out more about the CAP system....
