	Episode #127 of the NLSC Podcast is out now, and it�s a special episode this week as Arcane and I welcome Leftos and JaoSming back to the show they started! After catching up with our old friends and joking around a little, we get down to business as Leftos gives us a detailed insight into MyGM, MyLEAGUE, and MyLEAGUE Online in NBA 2K16. In short, a lot of work has gone into the franchise modes in NBA 2K16. In our interview, Leftos talks about improvements to logic and functionality, explains the ins and outs of the new features, describes the philosophy behind the development of the modes, and answers questions straight from the community. If the developer diary on MyGM, MyLEAGUE, and MyLEAGUE Online in NBA 2K16 got you excited to play this year�s franchise modes, you�ll definitely want to tune in for more information.

BluFu has posted some of the details from the podcast below, but make sure you listen to it all, for much more.

The Good

Per 100 poss stats are in
For the normalize minutes option, you can normalize all stats if you don't play on 12 minute quarters
Player and team hot streaks are mentioned in the Ticker
In MyLeague Online, you can invite players into you league whenever you want
You can randomize owner personalities in MyGM.
Players and staff can give feedback on their decisions in MyGM (if they don't want to sign with you, they'll let you know why)
VC and in-game money (I'll call it 'IGM') are separate things. IGM is accumulated through completing owner goals and can be used on things like your arena and relocation. When you buy the team, a part of the profits accrued in game is put towards your IGM.
Owners can change goals (long term and short term) based on team situation (he will evaluate constantly during the season). As well, players can change ambitions.
You can now override player retirements in MyLeague! In MyGM, you can convince them to not retire (example: Convincing Duncan to stay another year because you feel the roster has got a shot at a ring. Or even promising a staff possition the next year)
Improved FA logic (won't have great players sitting in FA)
Player turned coaches go by a system called the HOF rating. Things like win totals and rings are taken into account (hopefully this includes role players like Avery Johnson and Steve Kerr)
Option to edit staff! this is huge! (offensive, defensive, training, and scouting attributes can be edited!)
Can also edit team style in edit staff option (can choose what types of players will be targeted)
When relocating, you don't need to keep the name of the city or team
Owners that disapprove or are unsure of your relocation can be questioned
Draft logic was looked at. Busts and steals have been included without crazy bad logic (assuming this means guys that are ranked low in the mock drafts won't be selected top 5 and vice versa)
Draft prospects automation has been reworked. Beds (among others) helped out in ensuring that prospects were rated appropriately according to the new scale
League talent balancing while simming many years was touched on (better ratio of talent among prospects)
Accessory logic has been added to draft prospects!! (Higher probability for dual knee sleeves, and matching home/away colors etc. They've also used accessory data from the NBA to reflect on the draft classes. Unfortunately, headbands weren't confirmed or denied)
Audio team has been working very hard

The Unfortunate

No option to 'force' a player to become a coach
You cannot save logo/jersey designs to be imported for later
No draft protections but it's being looked at for the future
No preseason or D-League (takes up a lot of space and resources)
No team/player export (very complex stuff)
Career ending injuries will not be accompanied by a letter to the fans

What team were you? And how was your record?

# 62 bigmike0077 @ 09/04/15 02:42 PM

I was the Raptors, 4th place in the East, 32-22 Record, as 1 example. Im not saying only my arena was 100% sold out every night, i mean i was playing bottom feeder teams who had 100% attendence just like me. Or even when i checked each teams info, The only thing different was the team chemistry, everyone else had pretty much 100% fan interest or close to that, and when i play the actual team, i can see the area was at full capacity.

Nah I understand where you were coming from. But I asked because if you were the Cavs or something it would make a little sense. They were first in NBA road attendance at an avg of 18,915 and 98.3%. If the Celtics sucked last year I would have easily paid around $45 bucks for tickets to the Celts-Cavs game.

From what I could tell the home team has to have severely low fan interest and almost no highly rated players to see a dramatic difference.

Yup i understand, i noticed the same thing. So was mainly wondering if that would be addressed this year. Im a huge MyGM player so i notice these things lol, still love the game and mode regardless, just wanted to know if it would be addressed. Cant wait to play it this year

Hearing about the ability to override player retirement in MyLeague made me yell out loud in my half sleep while listening. Woooooooo!

I just hope we don't see quality free agents disappearing as a result.

# 67 Crystar500 @ 09/04/15 05:11 PM

I didn't hear if ALL players turns into staff. I'd love to have Tony Parker as my Scout, Ginobili as my Assistant Coach, and Tim Duncan as my GM if possible. That'd be awesome. Kawhi too, eventually.

Randomizing owner personalities is great! I can finally run the Nets without being asked to advance to the third round in my first year just because my owner doesn't want to get married. The Kings are more of an enticing destination to GM in this case too.

Rebranding without relocated is great! City names are even better.

I'm glad most of you enjoyed the podcast Leftos and JaoSming gave a lot of information I do want to apologise to the community here on OS and the NLSC as I felt I let the team down this episode I was not in a good head space and didn't come in properly prepared after receiving some bad news after a hospital appointment I had been waiting over 18 months for didn't give me any good news or a solution to resolve a heath problem that has been affecting me for nearly 3 years.

# 69 23 @ 09/05/15 05:11 AM

No apologies.. its always great hearing the gang together... Hope things work out for you health wise

Thanks man I appreciate that. I'm going back to my GP next week to see what my 3rd option will be to try and resolve it (I just want to be able to see normally again so I can work, design and drive again).

Oh man...I had no idea. Is there anything we can do?

That's more important than any video game or athletic competition.

Nah the MRI's CT Scans and Neurology appointment have come up pretty dead on a solution to regain my eyesight, this is a photoshop representation of what its like for me to see each day for nearly the last 3 years for no real reason/cause (neurologist ruled out lightning strike I suffered back in November 2012 a few months before my eyesight starting turning this way out which was the only positive from that appointment.

# 73 56thDown @ 09/05/15 08:29 AM

I really hope that the draft prospects are not all bald this year. That is pretty annoying to say the least.

# 74 Jakeness23 @ 09/05/15 09:38 AM

Protected picks in trades would be really cool, with how much they did this year though, I don't mind waiting for 17.

NO need to apologize! Just take care of yourself and keep your spirits up. Surround yourself with positive people, and maybe read up on people's stories who overcome great physical limitations or illnesses. Off the top of my head, Mark Herzlich maybe.

Nate Solder had testicular cancer, had it removed, and won a SB all within a year. Story below if anyone wants to read it.

Just curious to why no one has commented about what Aldridge is looking at? Shouldn't he be looking at lillard? That's just my opinion

# 78 bamalam @ 09/05/15 08:12 PM

haven't read through all this yet-

have CPU rotations been worked on /fixed/improved

If cpu starters all play over 30 minutes again, it takes away from some of these improvements in the gameplay, etc

# 79 Crea8vity @ 09/06/15 07:30 PM

Can we relocate/rebrand after a season or two, not right away?

Also, I'm stuck, I don't know if I want to use MyGM, or MyLeague...

Probably looking at the ref since the whistle was just blown to call for jump ball.
