According to Jones, two of Visual Concepts' top engineers spent the entire NBA 2K15 development cycle working on network infrastructure. The studio rewrote the game's matchmaking logic as well as the way it delivers content to players. The developers also compartmentalized the various modes, so if connectivity for, say, MyTeam goes down, the problem hopefully won't prevent people from playing MyCareer. On the back end, NBA 2K15 will alert Visual Concepts' support staff as soon as a problem crops up. And it will give players error codes, so they'll be able to look up specific issues online.

MYCAREER

  • Last's years role-playing experience complete with cutscenes was a big hit with fans, so Visual Concepts is doubling down with another story featuring a new player of your creation (your player from last year will not import into the game).
  • Instead of focusing on relationships with made up characters like last year's rival Jackson Ellis, NBA 2K15 focuses on team relationships and learning to play the game of basketball correctly.
  • To achieve this goal, Visual Concepts recorded audio with players from every NBA team, so no matter which squad you end up on you will have interactions with a mentor player.
  • Instead of going through the draft process, you begin as an undrafted free agent who is hot under the collar because he was overlooked on draft day. Your agent works to get you tryouts with multiple teams.
  • You choose which team to try out for, but you must keep in mind what the depth chart looks like. A handy hub screen gives you a quick glance at the current depth chart as well as the grade you'll need to reach to receive a job offer. If you want to crack the roster of a great team with depth, you will need to have a lights-out performance.
  • Once you sign that first 10-day contract, it's up to you to make the most of the opportunity and carve a permanent position on the roster.
  • During your second year, Doc Rivers will take over as the head coach of your team. Players will have a more intense relationship with Rivers than with the coaches from last year, as he has expectations for how he wants you to perform and what you should be focusing on in a particular game situation. These include tutorial-like pre-game meetings with assistant coaches where they go over points of emphasis.
  • MyCareer also features all new endorsements for your player to earn through playing well and gaining more recognition throughout the league.
  • The new MyCareer mode lets you skip games if you prefer to move more quickly through seasons. You can choose which games you want to play, and certain games against good teams or rivals will yield more VC than when you match up with a creampuff team like the Timberwolves or Pistons.
  • To keep players from maxing out all their skills with 99 ratings, the developers are changing how you upgrade your player. Instead of micromanaging how points fall into individual attributes, you drop them into buckets based on specialties like perimeter shooting, dunking, defense, and passing. You can upgrade multiple buckets, but you have a limited amount of total upgrades. This creates more realistic progressions and guarantees that players max out in the low 90s overall instead of at 99.
  • To reward those who play the game well over those who spend their way to a maxed out player, Visual Concepts is introducing badges to MyCareer.-Badges are earned by completing in-game feats and give you specific performance boosts that increase your overall abilities past the low 90s ratings cap. A total of 77 badge types are available, and most have bronze, silver, and gold levels.
  • Some of the categories players can earn badges in include athleticism, rebounding, interior scoring, perimeter scoring, playmaking, and defense.
  • 2K has tweaked the teammate grade slightly from last year, specifically removing the "call for bad pass" penalty.

MYLEAGUE
  • MyLeague strips the role-playing elements from the MyGM mode and allows players to take control of every aspect of a league, including governing multiple teams. Everything else is in the game, including injury system, new scouting, trade mechanics, and SimCast.
  • Customization options include season length, fantasy drafts, custom rosters, trade logic settings, controlling the player morale system, and tweaking draft class quality.
  • MyLeague is not online this year, but 2K hopes to add this functionality in the future You can, however, still play in a regular online league.

:wow: 2K is back.

now this looks like what i thought next gen would be like. some of the players and moves were dead ringers for real life. Steph's new shot is dope. Russ's leaner on the break looks awesome. That move by Jabari just looked so realistic. Andre Drummond also looks like himself.

i'mma be eatin good off this game this fall.
