3 picks at a time and the 24 hour clock for three more doesn't start until you pick them (which is super dumb)

That's what I thought. I'm running into a glitch where the clock doesn't restart until I claim a prize, so trying to hold cards is useless right now.

Not really, just make sure you set it to multiple seasons. Maybe around 5-10 minutes. You will probably end up getting rid of some franchises and having multiple Lakers and Celtics teams.

None right now. From what I can tell, there is a glitch where if you have claimed a player or enhancement prize it does something to screw up how the clock works. Apparently there is a a patch in the works to fix this.

Hilarious things happen when you mix teams from across eras. One of the Knicks teams in MyLeague is coached by Fisher and signed Fisher out from under the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. Phil Jackson went to the modern Bulls during his free agency.

I'm getting a crash to desktop in the dunk contest. It seems like there's a certain dunk that if it gets attempted kills the game for whatever reason. From my limited experimentation, it's the Whirling Dervish, but it seems like there might be some other dunks that just make the game eat a dick for no reason.

I have no idea why but everytime the game crashes there is never a crash report in the appdata/roaming/2ksports/nba2k15 folder.

I just had the game crash immediately after one of those coaching lessons with the slides and stuff. The two things he talked about were patient offense and crashing the defensive glass. As soon as he was done talking it just went straight to desktop.

All star team up is both the most hilarious and frustrating mode in the game. And one of the only modes you can play online with friends in the same room.

I'm hoping for more modes in future 2Ks that allow you to be just one player/position . It'd be great for myleague if you wanted to be an already established nba star. I prefer it to controlling a whole team.

In some gameplay modes (exhibition games, myGM I think, not sure about others?) if you go to "Controller Settings" in the Options menu, there should be a thing called "Preferred Position" where you can select a specific person/position, i.e. if you're the Cavs and you choose SF, you'll only control Lebron. Whenever Lebron gets subbed out, you just take control of whoever comes in to replace him. Though I don't remember how this handles, for example, if Lebron gets subbed back in at PF - but it could be worth checking out.

I haven't read through much of the thread outside of the OP, so if these questions have been asked, just let me know where they are answered!

I haven't played an NBA game since NBA 2K11, and I feel like going through a season on my ps4. Should I get 2K14 for around $20 or should I just buy 2K15 for $60? I'm not too concerned about the most up-to-date rosters or anything.

The stuff I am most interested in are going through franchise mode, either with the Mavericks in-game roster or doing a fantasy draft (if those are in either game). Do either of the games offer fantasy team draft for a franchise? Also, I saw someone mention on this page that they have a bunch of Hall of Famers in their game. Would I be able to intiate a fantasy draft involving legends as well (in either game)?

I'm open to paying the extra $40 for the newest game if it adds alot and has more depth. But if the games are pretty similar, then I'm not worried about updated rosters or anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Havoc. I don't own the game but the answers should be yes and yes on 15. Adding legends to the roster FA pool using the roster control settings should allow you to have them in a fantasy draft. Both games have the fantasy draft option but i'm not sure of the old timers option. That may only be for 15. I'll be picking up 15 in the next few days and 14 was pretty darn good. I think you'll like it. More realistic than madden.

2k15 is far superior than 2k14 on ps4. The presentation is much better and myLeague seems to be the mode you want to play, which isn't present in 2k14.

Thompson, let me know if you want to play some games online after you pick up the game. I'm pretty excited to see how the league will play out with a fantasy draft involving all of those legend players I saw listed.

For sure. I just ordered the game and should have it Saturday from Amazon. I'm pretty decent due to the fact that I also play a lot of basketball and I think the realness of this game allows that to help with my play, especially once you learn post moves and such. It's really fun and I think you made a good choice in ordering the new one.

Being jaded about something is so cool. You're just as useless as everybody else, but you get to be irritating and bitter about it.
So I made a 3/4 court shot in MyPark. I shot from the opposite free throw line on accident, I mean to pass and hit X like a big dumbo, but made it. Just dropping in to say "lol 2k". I was playing with hopterque and Frank Eufemia and we all died laughing. We won the game too.

So I just dominated in the rising stars game on the all star weekend, and then smashed the cpu in the 3 point comp :D The rising star game was a little annoying, because Jabari Parker must have missed about 5 or 6 open threes that I got the ball to him for. Finding it really hard to get my first double double with 6 minute quarters, come close a few times but no dice.

And yea I'm also in rivet city.
