NBA 2K15 News Post



GameInformer has posted an article listing "29 Reasons Why MyGM May Be the Future of Franchise Modes," going over the new conversation system, GM tools, scouting, player progression, offseason, and much more in NBA 2K15's MyGM mode.

Here are some tidbits from the article:
  • On Virtual Currency: "Visual Concepts is distancing itself from its controversial approach to injecting VC into the MyGM experience last year. In NBA 2K15 the VC is nearly stripped out of the mode in favor of a leveling system where you accrue XP for every action you take."
  • On Total Control: "In response to last year's backlash regarding basic functions being hidden behind the upgrade system, Visual Concepts has surfaced the vital skills that form the backbone of the GM experience. Every GM has full control of trades, free agency, player rotations, coach firings, etc. right from the start. "
  • A new Sim feature: "Strategy-minded players who prefer a hands-off approach should check out SimCast. This new system allows you to manage rotations, strategies, sliders, and points of emphasis before hitting the start button on a sim."
  • New Scouting System: "A new pro scouting system analyzes how your team stacks up against your next opponent. Feedback includes areas of weakness you can exploit in the rival team, an analysis of their biggest threats, the team stats, and suggested points of emphasis."
  • New Draftee Storylines: "Visual Concepts plans to surface several storylines throughout the year based on research it did on the last 20-30 draft classes. The various types of players you could encounter include flash-in-the-pan players who may be at their full potential already on draft day, late bloomers who rise up the draft board at the last minute, players with serious injury concerns that you may not know about unless you him in for a visit."
  • College Stats: "For NBA 2K15 Visual Concepts built an engine to simulate an entire college season, giving you the ability to look at the stats of all draft candidates."
  • Draft Combine is in: "NBA 2K15 adds the draft combine to the mix this year, where you may find out that a school is playing fast and loose with the height and weights they list in their game programs."
  • Better Player Progression: "Visual Concepts has done a significant amount of work on player progression this year. Before, all you could do was train them in the offseason. This year that progression is split between the offseason workouts and in-season training."
  • Better Offseason Logic: "Visual Concepts says the CPU-controlled teams in NBA 2K15 have improved logic this year when managing their roster balance. Teams should better recognize that they don't need to spend on another point guard if their team already has a viable starter and will know to use their resources elsewhere."
Be sure to check out the full article for many more details on MyGM mode.

Right now MyGM it total GM control/franchise with the option to Sim at any point in time of one team.

MyLeague is controlling any team you want to control without GM interaction and fully editable
In MyGM, you can only play and SimCast games for the team you're controlling.

Thanks might have to stick to MyLeague or do both wow that would be tough better to have options though.

As i was reading this i was thinking.... "Myplayer is dead this year" because i will not be playing that mode.... This sounds so damn good.

That's all I needed to know. Draft Combine is in MyLeague

I can't contain myself

is this actually in the game or it's just photoshopped??

Please tell me storyline and combine are gonna be in MyLeague too????

This mode is sounding amazing on paper, but at the end of the day, once again, trade and FA logic is gonna make or break it.

The dev said that MyLeague has everything expect for controlling money and RPG element.

Which means the combine should be in for MyLeague

Davez! My man!

Here's the thread you started in November last year. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...wish-list.html

It's amazing how many of those things made it into the game this year. I don't know know who all to thank for this coming together like this. You, Leftos, etc. but this game is looking like a dream come true to me. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I just came across that, but thanks.

I really thought I would completely abandon MyGM for MyLeague, but I may be playing both. But like I said before, it depends on the CPU transaction logic.

I'd hope it's photoshopped since Jay-Z no longer owns part of the Nets

Same here. MyLeague appears to be my main mode this year. And GM Mode might be number 2 depending on trade logic along with offseason moves by the cpu.

I can't take LeBron leaving Cleveland after this season only to go to The Lakers or Sixers in GM Mode

I think his official role is team ambassador. I don't like any of the profiles Ronnie is tweeting out except for Ballmer since he's really an owner. I would rather have a no-name owner than Beyonce or Scott Porter or some celebrity who has nothing to do with owning a team. Jay-Z was different since he had a piece of the Nets but he had to give that up once he started representing NBA players.

I hope this is not in the game but I fear it is since this looks like it's being taken right from the game.

The celebrity owner pictures thing going on on Twitter are simply photoshop jobs.
