I don't see what all the excitement is about, 2k can do all this but can't get a chipped tooth right, that **** still funny to me lol...was reading this lovely blog and came to mind that was an actual complaint.

2k is the gift that keeps on giving for me, anything they can do to make this series better I'm all for. I am mostly a Myplayer guy hardly play much online but some of the online modes have me wanting to try it big time and that's what it should be about. Any mode that's getting complaints or not being played as much do something to make it better so more people will try it and buy the game.

I'm sitting here excited and looking forward to Myleague/MyGm, My Player and Pro-Am modes and I can't remember the last time that happened for me.
I can also see the Myleague Online is going to be the new "C" word around here for a bit. 2k damn nice job and thanks for all the work and listening to your fan base.

Anyhow..

The two things that I really loved today

Quote:


	Staff Hiring Internally, we refer to this time period as the Staff Carousel. Why is that? We’ve completely overhauled how Staff Hiring works. The end result is a feature that is endlessly more compelling than what we offered previously. It is no longer a ‘fill open slots and press start to advance’ type of experience. This time period now lasts 7 days, and features a full promotion system. You now have the ability to hire staff away from other teams, or promote from within your own. If you think Nate McMillian is doing a solid job as the assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers, you can approach the Pacers and ask for permission to speak to him, to see if he wants to take a promotion and become your head coach

Quote:


	Customizable Progression/Regression – Every player in the league now has a unique editable entry called ‘Peak Start’ and ‘Peak End’. ‘Peak Start’ is the age at which players have developed as much as they can, and will not see additional ratings increases outside of training. ‘Peak End’ is the age at which players will start their inevitable ratings decline. This is all in your control now!

This is gonna be amazing

Wow, amazing feature set. Seriously overwhelming in a good way. Thanks to this dev team!

I have great ideas I am a HUGE 2k fan and one day I hope to work there
The changes above are great improvements but I have a lot more.

First off I think we should have the ability to face scan created players in cass our friends come over and would like to scan there faces.

It was a great idea to give us the ability to upload our own logos but I think we should go a step further we should have the ability to upload our own patterns this could be included with both jersey Arenas, gear and shoes

We should be able to ask the owner for promotional tools in mygm like spending money for billboards promoting a "Big 3". Depending on the ideas and what players are included for the promotion should depict the profit received. We should have hundreds of promotional choices like promoting rookies, if a prev rookie and you have a new top prospect you should be able to promote a back to back

We should gain a lot more VC and 2k profit in mygm when making the playoffs getting players who gain awards and winning the championship

Every person in the NBA should have a different morale set for everyone in the NBA. Players and coaches could have a high morale with you even if they don't play for you because you established a winning culture.Player interest should increase if a you have assets to their liking young prospect group established team, rebuilding etc.

People in your organization with I high morale for will give you info about your latest moves. Stars who are confident and not afraid to express opinions should tell you ideas for acquisitions and who to let go, the bad apples in the team. Chemistry should increase due to acquisitions of play style

If your team because a main attraction like the lakers or the Knicks celebs should increase fan attendance post things about the games on social media and celebs should be seen in the crowd.

Bring back the animations where we can see players walking into the arena similar to how 2k10 was but I little more.

We should be able to upload or scan shoes and socks in some way that users can be creative in get shoes not specifically for basketball like Jeremy Scott's shoes or something of that nature

We should be able to upload colors, patterns etc when customizing shoes. We should be able to go in detail which is so key in customization. We should be able to add art, photos and custom lace locks when making shoes to mimic real custom shoes. This should also be and ability when equipting off court gear

And I know NBA is now partners with stance socks so can we have there urban socks as well

We should have the ability to share everything in 2k share shoe designs, any customs apparel that I mentioned, uniforms, and created and my career players. Make it so if we download a roster with custom players we can add the custom players to our own created player list so we can add them to different rosters.

When a player is traded especially when it's been a few seasons announcers should talk about there performances with the team that he is on not just real life

More passing animations 1 example would be the elbow pass

And ability to add any generic version off a design any jersey that has ever been worn in the NBA when making uniforms

Ability to upload faces from Internet

Ability to upload tattoos

Please take my ideas into consideration

Notice that in the Celtics screenshot it shows Lebron is a 94 overall! If he is a 94 we might not have a lot of 90's just like 2K15. Especially if he is the highest rated. This could also be that this guy is in his 3rd season and his rating dropped in the mode, he's got a minor injury or it could be the actual overall. What do u guys think. I give my thoughts on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHZm7Wov8l4hmg4Y9beY4Ew

Its not like you got the **** end of the stick. Pro-am looks amazing in that regard

Quite a few in the online crowd don't find that mode enjoying. We like team building and making a team. We like having that same offline franchise experience versus other human players. A lot of us got our hopes up high for this mode because we thought it was gonna be a completed franchise mode. I know a lot of guys are gonna throw on their capes and defend 2K to the death but this kills the buzz for us online franchise junkies.

Not gonna just recklessly trash 2K because these dudes put in work but I'd rather have the foundation of the league established with the basic needs to get a long term league underway then a mode with a bunch of "fluff" that can only be shortly loved before having to reset and starting over again. Resetting is much easier in Madden or NCAA when you've played from release to release due to possible burnout but having to reset after a season will kill enjoyment for this mode. Then the decision makers will look at stats and say the mode is least played and we and/or possibly the team won't be provided the right resources to get the mode on par with other franchise modes.

I'm personally gonna channel my frustration and begin a wish list right now to help them out with NBA 2K17

I'm going to change them up a little, maybe go with an older logo and make some changes to the court and unis a bit. Can't wait

# 293 23 @ 08/19/15 08:53 PM

Cant wait to see the created stuff people put out there as fsr as unis and stadiums.

# 294 HustlinOwl @ 08/19/15 08:56 PM

I'm rebranding the Hornets for eleventy-billionth time. Carolina Flight here I come. Incorporating the "First in Flight" motto, the Jordan Logo, the Jordan Flight School, if players are not locked to specific shoe brands everyone will be in Jordans. I'm gonna have so much fun.

Yea there's no chance I'm moving the team. But I think I am going to rebrand them and make my own team. Leave the history in the past. Just have to find a good logo online and run with it.

Me either. And if they include that picture/face/import feature in WWE2K then it could be a really special year as we could potentially get some great looking legend/college/international rosters.

# 298 Daddy123 @ 08/19/15 09:02 PM

Idk if this has been discussed but this screenshot reveals some ratings..Lebron 94?

ROTFLOL! Thanks you for the laugh in such a depressing thread.

If what your wanting is still missing consider how upset the franchise guys were
a short few years ago. 2k doesn't care, it's all about the money etc etc.

Some things simply take more time. If your favorite mode is the one left out I
understand the frustration but just look at the pattern of others who felt the same.

Also just a side note. Anything you do offline that you want to do online has the
added complexity of keeping up to 30 machines in sync. Think about what that
means in terms of bugs, divergences, coding etc.

Also consider that next gen was a new game on new engine.(Copy paste not good idea)

So you can't just copy a feature and put it online. Again this ain't my mode but
I watched these guys work their asses off and the whole time they had me
and others pleading the case of the online league guys. They literally gave you
everything they had this year. As SImballer said they wanted it to actually work.

Speaking of work I have more to do myself. Carry on gents.

As I said, I believe going forward it going to be fleshed out. Dont think there was enough time to really make the mechanics work with everything else that this year added. I also can see why its a dealbreaker. The other basketball game made a decision about their game that has me feeling the same way.

Might be me being optomistic, but I really believe its a start in the right direction for OF players at least. Now if im wrong and nothing changes next year then riot.
