	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

Leftos has any new depth been given to the myleague chemistry system?

# 83 Saro1 @ 09/08/15 07:33 PM

I hope that the sixth men like Ginobili, Crawford aren't in starting lineups.

There's a new setting under Edit Player > Vitals called "Force Non-Starter" which allows you to force the lineup/rotation logic to never consider that player for a starting position. You can set it to "On", "On (1 Season)" (meaning it will automatically reset at the start of the next year) and "Off".

Manu is an "On (1 Season)" out of the box but you can edit that setting for him (if in your mind he should be starting or you don't want it to reset to off after a year) or for any other player.

...Holy crap, you're the best.

Finally! This was one of the main reasons I controlled all 30 teams, to prevent inaccurate lineups.

Amazing!

Thanks for the answer.

Two additional questions.

1. Are finals mvps finally listed under a players career achievements, and considered when determining hall of fame?

2. What factors into all star voting and all NBA teams? Is it team record? Box score stats? Advanced stats?

# 89 2_headedmonster @ 09/08/15 09:52 PM

Has anyone said anything about any advancements in customising sub patterns?

Like take X and Y out/in at the 8 min mark etc.....

# 90 Bexthelegend @ 09/10/15 03:37 PM

I feel like this new 6th man info should have been in the original blog. I fear that people won't know that it exist

Yep, if I hadn't seen Leftos' name at the end of this thread I probably wouldn't have came back into it and seen this super awesome goodness.

# 93 TUSS11 @ 09/10/15 11:19 PM

Leftos, does the "Force Non-Starter" still apply even when the regular starter at that position is injured? For example, would Jamal Crawford still come off the bench even when JJ Redick is out?

# 94 Leftos @ 09/10/15 11:43 PM

Yes. You can turn it on and off at will though.

# 95 Dazzazzad @ 09/11/15 08:56 AM

Sorry if this has been addressed. Been busy so haven't followed all the details. For me there is one big headache that I'm hoping has been addressed. That of not being able to play co-op through a bunch of seasons with the draft and all the other bells and whistles.

These days I only really have time to play games when a buddy comes over and playing on the same team is how I've always done it. It was so frustrating to have that experience removed from the game.

# 96 simbayless @ 09/17/15 10:50 PM

Hey leftos I appreciate the hard work u guys put in this year and I have a question.my league how do u get the badges you want for your rookies through out the season, is it like my player?

# 97 Smallville102001 @ 09/19/15 02:19 AM

So in MYGM you still cant control things like how often trades happened like you can in MYLEAUGE? If so that is a big disappointing because I like how in MYGM you can do things like set ticket prices and food prices ect but you cant do that in MYLEAGUE. So its either play MYLEAGUE and miss out on those things or play MYGM and be able to do those things but miss out on those sliders. I want a way to play MYGM but with those sliders.

# 98 Balmain @ 09/19/15 10:11 AM

I have one question about mycareer

Will attributes be upgraded individually or in bundles like 2k15? I haven't seen any info on this

Hope the breakdown is there outside of MyLeague/MyGM as well.

A nice little roster related surprise to help soften the inevitable blow of when I find out we can't edit team colors for accessories lol :<
