NBA 2k16 MyLeague: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Re: NBA 2k16 MyLeague: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

There are technical and legal reasons why we couldn't do this. We'll probably re-visit the idea again, but while the technical reasons may be something we can overcome, I'm not sure if the legal ones can be.

Rats, I was hoping this wasn't one of the reasons. Always appreciate your honesty Dave

Why does weight not have any effect? I tried making a MWP type cap for my draft class but he looks skinny like everybody else.

yes i agree with above poster. It would be nice if maybe rookie's are usually skinny and as they continue with there career they get bigger and stronger

-On the subject of rebranding, one thing I'd really like to see implemented in the near future (and I thought/hoped it was when I saw the "Team Colors" edit option) is the ability to assign Team Colors 1 and 2 per each jersey each team has.

I've talked to Stauff at length about the desire to have a better system when it comes to headbands, accessories and shoe colors with how often teams change whether its from home to away or jersey to jersey. Even if it's only available in MyLeague and not the roster file as well.

You guys are certainly on the right track! And I'll hush about accessories now lol.


-Another thing Dave (and I'm sure I'll have more, I apologize, I'm distracted at a Marlins game at the moment lol) but proper veteran's minimum level contracts are still not available. This is literally the first "little thing" I check every year in MyLeague/Association lol.

I heard Da_Czar talk on a SimNation podcast how you guys are sometimes worried about overwhelming the user with all the CBA rules, to that I respectfully say F THAT! Those of us that play MyLeague WANT every rule you can possibly implement! If anything you guys could take a page from MLB the Show and have an in game manual of all the CBA rules.

Yes the MyPark, Play Now Online, Chris Broussard following majority would be confused, but come one, us MyLeague nerds??? I even taught my girlfriend the rules of the CBA lol

Player model stuff isn't in my realm. But, I do know we would love weight gain/loss progression in the franchise modes that would be reflected in the models (as well as aging). It's just a lot of tech and not always as easy as it sounds.

Can this be played online with freinds. With drafts and free agency and such?

We wanted to do better with the accessories with regard to re-branding this year, but the entire relocation/branding/creation feature was this humongous beast that involved a ton of work from both engineering and art. Just couldn't get all the we wanted in for this year. I fully expect this to be greatly improved down the road, as it's gotten a lot of positive feedback.

I never knew of this issue (sorry, the CBA is a beast even with Larry Coon's faq). So, I'm not sure if this was a conscious decision to ignore if it was just an oversight. I've added "proper veteran's minimum level contracts" to our blue sky list, so it'll definitely be discussed with the franchise team for next year's game (or patch if it's something that is easy to implement in the code).

There is a MyLEAGUE Online, but it doesn't include an off-season this year. You can start the league with a Fantasy Draft, but there's no rookie draft.

It's part of the progression system and is influenced by the players' attributes.

Re: NBA 2k16 MyLeague: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Davez what about protecting picks? Are they in? And if no, is that something we could added to the blue sky list? Because unprotected are RARELY traded in real life. The only time since protecting picks became a thing, I can think of a trade with unprotected picks is the Celtics highway robbery of Brooklyn.

If Leftos wasn't so lazy, this would've got in this year (J/K -- that dude works so hard and stresses out so much about the game that he came in one day with a shaved beard because he pulled out a giant patch of it because he would continuously pull at it when stressed).

But, in all honestly, it was on our feature list for 16, but it ended up slipping. It should be something we can get in next year, as long as we can figure out the best UI solution for it. We'll also have to figure out how realistic we want it to be, since the real life protected picks can get pretty crazy.

It would be a shame if we didn't get the tattoo stuff that you can do to your MyPLAYER in for the edit player in 2K17.

The shot chart stuff wasn't really looked at deeply in the simulator tuning. It works best with played games or SimCast Live games (which are played games). Just tuning the simulator at a high level (trying to get the guys at 1-10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 300 to match up as close as possible to the real-life stats over the course of 80-year franchises) was a hell-ish task that had me drinking a bottle of vodka or whiskey every night to help me fall asleep over a four week period. The lower level stuff just wasn't in the realm of possibility (getting shots charts perfect or specific players perfect).

As long as we're talking about player creation and editing, how about including hot spots for players as creation/edit options?
