Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

Definitely these. Also a few more I can think of:

-Being able to retire players numbers in MyLeague/MyGM.
-Tats for generated players. This also includes the ability to put on or edit current tats for a generated player.
-Protected draft picks.
-Have generated rookie interviews just like the real NBA players at the start of the second quarter, halftime, and post game. Also use this for coaches as well.
-More body types for CAP's and generated rookies.
-Ability to edit the draft classes.
-Maybe add a trophy room for MyLeague or MyGM that has all the awards your team/players have won.

You can do this...

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

The biggest thing I'm looking for is more CAP customization for draft classes and a bigger emphasis placed on following the prospects to create excitement in the process. The Hoops Summit is a cool touch, but I wish there were more opportunities to see draft picks in action before the draft, even if it's just pre-draft workouts.

It would also be nice to be able to use draft classes in practice mode outside of MyLeague/MyGM. I like to test out the prospects I'm creating on the court while I work on them, and currently the quickest way to do so is to load the class into the mode and go from there.

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

First off...thank you for this game. Best sports game since NFL 2k5, actually I'd go so far as to say its the best sports game ever. Just..thank you.

I'm amen to nearly every suggestion I've seen so far. Especially the expansion of practice and financial options (protected pick better free agency ect).

First (because this should be the easiest I would assume) I would like to see created/generated players get incorporated into the commentary more. Talk about how great a season they're having and how they stack up to the greats ect. You never really get a sense the commentators know who these players are despite the fact that they may be putting up all time great seasons, it would really help with immersion down the road in the franchise when the older players who have canned commentary are gone.

Second, I would love to see coaching get even more of an upgrade next year. Have coaching philosophies and preferred systems and player types like how some coaches don't play rookies that sort of thing. Also, deeper coaching staffs consisting of multiple assistant coaches:big man coach, shooting coach ect.

I would love some MORE from the already stellar presentation. I would love a nightly/weekly wrap up and generated highlights from those games.

Lastly I would love a way to incorporate rivalries and player relationships into the game. Two players hit it off and become friends or enemies and that can affect signings, chemistry and morale. And on more of a meta level maybe somehow make it so that some teams dislike each other. I have no idea how to make that part work but it would create amazing immersion if that sort of storytelling could be incorporated into the game.

Import Myleague franchise from 2k16 into 2k17
Draft expansion/Create a team mode

[Mikelopedia]

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

• Cap holds...as much of the CBA you're willing/able to implement. Include the rules you can access ingame if needed to avoid overwhelming players. Complete CBA adherance could always be toggle-able, us franchise nerds would love it
• Ability to change freelance from paused/coaching menu in games, ability to incorporate freelance as part of coaching gameplan in franchise modes. Accessing freelance in scrimmage goes with this.
• Everything in the OP. Related: trading "ability to swap future first rounders." I understand this is a bit specific, but this does get traded
• Overhauled free agency. Every year things are slow until the biggest max free agents sign (which is a bit of a process in and of itself). Free agency where guys feel fought over and trades can happen (and sort of backfire like Houston clearing space for Bosh) would completely revitalize the offseason
• Eurostashes, and any other ways to make lower-tier draft picks actually matter
• Ability to start franchise from present day
• Vague, but more "dynamic" progression/regression. Sometimes guys stagnate for a couple years then make an unexpected leap or decline. Words cannot describe how great it would be to better emulate in 2k
• Durability (including that of specific body parts) should factor into how teams evaluate players and the contracts they give. Listing durabilities next to OVR and age on any sort of transaction screen would be nice too
• Listing the option years of contracts on trade screens, it's a hassle to have to look up individually every time

I just want to reiterate EVERYTHING joosegoose listed.

Much of my list is from my posts in the 2k16 MyLeague wishlist thread you created last year at this time Dave, along with some new things. But I would like to say first, that this list is literally 50% smaller thanks to how much of both my and the rest of the community's suggestions you guys implemented. It was amazing reading through and checking so much off the list such as team relocation, rebranding, overriding retirement etc. Well done!

Well here it goes....

• Create accurate veteran minimum contracts, with tuned logic for players accepting these, especially if going to a contender or having been waived. Right now the "minimum" is the same for everyone when in reality there are scales based on your tenure in the league. Same thing in relation to scaled max deals. (Note- a veteran minimum deal for a player with more than 3 years experience counts against the cap the same unless its a 2 year deal).
  
  
• All of this please http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm May sound like alot but really it's not because you guys have done most of it (just some things like the vet minimum and MLE and mini MLE need to be fixed in relation to when they're aloud). But us franchise nerds want ALL the salary cap rules including 10 day contracts, cap holds, trade exceptions, draft pick protection, EARLY bird rights, scaled veterans minimum, bi annual, mini MLE, extension rules, sign and trade, non-guaranteed contracts, etc all need to implemented if possible.
  
  There should not be a worry of overcomplicating the experience. MLB the Show uses most of their rules (and baseball is way more confusing than basketball) and to help out those who are lost they have a detailed in mode manual explaining each of the rules. The users that play these modes WANT this experience, they want to run a franchise. Plus, you can always have the option of turning it all off.

As i said last year, 2K is welcome to hire me to be their cap expert I applied for a roster related position over the summer and would gladly re apply hah

• Expanding on lottery protected draft picks, I heard Leftos I believe it was, in a podcast question how realistic ya'll would get with protections because some of them get too crazy. That kinda worries me because we don't want to just have "lottery protected" picks. Decreasing protection is a must (ex: top 15 protected in 2016, top 10 in 2017, top 8 in 2018, etc) with the ability to decide when it becomes unprotected.
  
  *Note- Give us the options of:
  -how many years of protection
  -protection for each year (doesn't necessarily have to decrease, could be 2 years in a row of Top 5 Protected).This includes to ability to create "guaranteed lotto pick" i.e. Top 3 protected AND 15-30 protected.
  -what happens at the end of protection (does it become unprotected or become 2 2nd rounders)
  -is it a swap pick, meaning if it falls out of the protection range, does it go outright to the team or do they have the option to swap picks.
  
  
• Full D-League implementation. Including REAL D-League players. (See Europe and China below for more details)
  
  
• The use of Europe and China. Not as playable teams replacing NBA teams, but to use as drafting and stashing, signing guys who were out of the league, and free agents who dont get deals going over there.
  It could be as simple as just an extensive "list" of guys who are overseas with stats, progressing and regressing building on what you did with the prospects' simulated seasons starting in 2k15. Ideally, I and many others just want MORE NBA eligible players in the game's roster/free agent list.
  Honestly the D-League could even be this way too. Just want to be able to call REAL players up and send guys down. Priority on all this over actually being able to actually play D-League games. I think many of us agree on that.
  
  
• Draft rights. Piggybacking on the Europe implementation, have teams hold the rights to players they draft and stash. Both existing and user generated. Also add the ability to trade the rights to players.
  
  
• Bring back the "Start Today" option. But make sure players who were added to the roster late are synced to their real life counterparts to achieve full accurate stats.
  
  
• Ability to adjust pace of play for both simulated and played games as well as per team and on a global scale. Some users play at a uber fast pace (50+ rebounds, 30 assists etc) and others prefer a slow pace. Allow the rest of the league to match up with that stat wise if the user desires. We currently get too many possessions on the sim engine leading to inflated assist numbers. Let us tune that by adjusting pace with a global slider but also determine if we want one team to average 110 possessions per game and another 85.
  
  
• Add tattoos to both created AND existing players. Players get more tatts every year. If Dwyane Wade goes through a mid-life crisis and gets a mud-flap girl on his bicep, let us do it. It's MyLeague.
  
  
• Ability to change players hairstyles and facial hair. Self explanatory, players' hairstyles change over the years and sometimes months in Chris Andersen's case. Hairlines even come back in LeBron's case. If I want Chris Bosh to grow back his dreads, let me. It's MyLeague.
  
  
• I don't know how much in jest it was but you had mentioned a weight progression system. Uh, yes please lol. Allow players to strength train to add muscle or lose weight. On the reverse, some players may gain weight. All editable including body appearence. Small adjustments to each body part, not just 3 or 4 different generic body types.
  
  
• Tune auto substitution logic so that it AT LEAST matches up with what we assign in the gameplan, assuming that we correctly assigned proper minutes to all positions.
  
  
• The ability to create alternate jerseys in addition to home and away. If possible, the ability to simply tweak existing designs, ala what Denver did to their unis this year.
  
  
• This is a big one for me as an accessory whore.......Allow us to assign what Team Color 1 and 2 are per each jersey, both created AND existing. I'd prefer if this option existed outside the modes as well.
  
  Yes that includes headbands' colors please.....
  
  
• Dave, you revealed in the other thread how the ability to simply tweak existing arenas (i.e. JUST changing court art without changing seating structure, jumbotron, etc) was partially a legal issue. Could we possibly just have each arena's "parts" with slight differences in the design arena feature selection so that we can "build" an arena that at least resembles the existing one?
  
  Also, let us bring old championship and jersey banners to our new arena. As well as add NEW banners when we win a division or championship.
  (A cut scene at the beginning of the next season raising the banner would be a cool touch). Improve the atmosphere in the new arenas as well. (Crowd chants, organs, etc)
  
  
• More coaches. More REAL free agent coaches, more assistants. Like 4 REAL assistants per team. Allow us to determine whether or not a player becomes a coach when they retire. Show Coach's stats, just more information in general. The generic ones that are eventually hired can be "college" coaches with backstory, philosophy and stats and/or start as bottom of the totem pole assistants. That will allow us to build familiarity and connection with a generated coach rather than just his name, generated picture and C- offense D+ defense etc.
  
  
• Expanding on coaches, add create a coach and the ability to fully edit generic coaches name and appearence. Keep in mind when I suggested having up to 4 or 5 assistants instead of 1, they don't all have to be sitting courtside fully animated, not all of them sit on the bench in real life.
  
  
• Ability to change All Star venues, court designs and uniforms. I would also like to see the Dunk Contest polished up a bit. NOT completely redone because the 2 button method is probably the most user friendly method they've used in 2K. Still think Live did it the best back in the early 2000's, I replayed the hell outa those. But anyway, polish up the animations, crowd reactions, scores, and add alot more dunks and props. Also if we can't play it straight from the main menu allow us to select who we invite.
  
  This goes back to MyLeague supposedly being all about "full customization." If that's the case, then let us invite the participants we want for the Dunk Contest. Same thing for the Rookie game and 3pt Shootout. I'd like to see the Skills Challenge added as well. As far as the All Star game itself, the voting system works pretty well but give us some sort of control. Like maybe let us pick the starters since it's a fan vote anyway. And then give us a vote as a coach for the bench (if we're doing 30 team control then we get 30 votes and can essentially choose the bench as well). Just give us the option of control.
  
  Again, if MyLeague is all about user customization, well then hell, let us customize EVERYTHING!

That's all I have for now, I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Thanks for reading Dave

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

Small thing (that maybe could be patched in) is the age for draft prospects. Right now, it's impossible to create a prospect that is 18/19 coming into the league. Also, it irks me to see 20+ year olds in the 2K Hoops Summit. Age ranges should be from 17-19 as it's mainly an event for highschoolers.

As i said last year, 2K is welcome to hire me to be their cap expert I applied for a roster related position over the summer and would gladly re apply hah

Great post Mike.. not sure where to apply, but I'd love a 'roster related position' myself lol

[Vintage11]

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

1. Being able to use customize tattoos in create a player mode and generated draft classes. I think that is a must. I am happy your team put in Head Bands but Tattoos has been a request for a long time now. please, please put in nba 2k17 or a patch for 2k16 would be nice!!!

2.10 day contracts in mygm or myleague. I think that is a big part of the NBA and if they perform well, you can have the ability to turn that contract in to a 1 year or long term deal.

3.Customize your office in Mygm. Thinking outside the box here. I remember back when you guys created college hoops 2k8 (one of my favorite games ever by the way). As you won accolades and trophies at the end of every season you where able to walk down the hall and see every trophy you won. I liked that feature because it felt personal. In mygm, incorporating something similar would be cool. Being able to decorate your office using points, having a personalized bookshelf with championship rings and trophies and a personal assistant who has info on your daily agenda would be a welcomed feature as well.

4. D-league in mygm or myleague. Being able to send down or bring up a player from the d-league would be a welcomed feature. for example, If i draft some one late in the first round or 2nd and i fell they need some fine tuning i would like the option to send him down to the d-league to get better instead of me cutting him and wasting a pick. the NBA is about development and being able to do that would be a great feature!

Thanks for reading.

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

The ability to trade the draft rights of players during the draft.

[Smallville102001]

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

For the sliders in MYLEAGUE to be in MYGM has while. I hate that you cant use those sliders that are in MYLEAGUE in MYGM has while. If that doesn't happen I am most likely not going to get the game going forward because I hate having to chose between either getting to use those sliders and playing MYLEAGUE but missing out on the ticket prices stuff or playing MYGM but missing out on the sliders.


2nd a weekly highlight rape up show type of thing. I would love to have a show that talks about the games that have been going on and shows highlights from around the league. Those 2 things are about all the game needs to have a perfect MYGM/MYLEAGUE mode.

[Teondaddy1]

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

Copying what everybody else said, tats and body type for CAP. Bigger height cap for OFFLINE play

Full d-league experience. Call ups, send down, players making injury comebacks (Shaun livingston), young retired players making comebacks.

Draft and stash foreign players, their draft hold, their decision to come to the NBA or not, trading their rights.

weekly highlight show where they talk about player movement, injures, coaching changes, playoff standings, show different game highlights, stats, upcoming draft prospects, trade rumor, breaking news, analysis on multiple things (like NBA TV).

cpu 3 way trade offers, real trade offers. Don't ask for klay Thompson if you are only giving up Channing Frye and Jason Smith! free agency logic. Lebron would not sign with a non championship contender. Protected picks, vet minimum, 10 day contacts, vets willing to sacrifice for the team ( Iggy from Golden state), a real scouting menu where you get stat and injury updates, analysis, projections.

A full halftime show with stats, highlights and commentary from other games played that day. Breaking news during games.

Rivalries.... Like clippers vs Golden State.

More dunk packages. Jordan and Drexler were not the only dunkers! I would like people like Shawn Kemp, Vince Carter, Dominique Wilkins, Shaq, Latrell Sprewell to get some Love. A special badge for fast break dunkers. Between the legs dunks and other dunks that are not done in half court can be attempted here (Vince Carter, Zach LaVine). Also some new lob dunks and posters (Vince Carter again).

New dribble and pass packages. I would love to dribble and/or pass like white chocolate Jason Williams, Allen Iverson, Tim Hardaway Sr.

My Gm has to many cut scenes that slows down the experience. Maybe we can have those owner conversations via messages.
New/more qestions on the interviews, looks generic right now

I like the old draft stage better. I would bring it back with people in the crowd cheering or booing, players walking on stage with receiving the hat, taking picks, trade news, analysis, projections, results, winners and losers, player interview. The option to skip to user pick, next round, next pick. The draft on 2k16 looks quite boring

I have tons more. I know all of this won't make it because there would not be a need to make 2k18

[BluFu]

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

-Customize practice jerseys
-Edit players during Summer League

**Increase passing tendencies for generated players**
-I'm noticing a lot of players are coming into the league with a below 10 in the 'Dish to open man' tendency which results in them averaging 0 assists per game. (Maybe this could be patched?)

***Guys who want realistic stats need to have moving shot tendencies back! It's killing the percentages of good spot up shooters who don't shoot off the dribble. ***

[KGDunks]

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

- Give superstar players and heck even lesser players the ability to demand trades if they want to go to a winning team or have an issue with the city etc. Right now it's all based on the moral system, which if you manage adequately can pretty much assure you can keep players content until their contract runs out. Would like to see more Dwight Howard like situations where he wants to be traded to the Lakers for instance.

- Tattoos on generated players, along with some further story about generated players. Their high school days, where they've come from, childhood etc. Maybe just make a database or something, would make things a lot more immersive.

- The ability for players (particularly generated player) to age, see changes in hair/facial hair, more tattoos etc. It might be tough to implement but would be totally awesome. Same goes with current NBA players, particularly those that end up coaches or other staff members.

- Protected picks. Absolute must with the impact they have on today's NBA.

- Trades still need tinkering. The AI still seems to look too much at what you are giving them in value at that moment, not what the value could be in two plus seasons time.

- Retire jerseys.

- Please allow us to rebrand as many teams as we want on consoles. Would also like us to be able to import our own arena sounds for use in our newly customised stadiums, along with the ability to change lighting etc.

- Accessories automatically are worn when players come back from certain injuries. Think Steph Curry and his ankle issues, Garnett/Bosh with their knee braces etc, or even Kobe with the facemask.

- Ticker to be available in every part of the modes. During games especially please.

- The ability to scout players from high school onwards. Would allow us to make much more informed decisions plus adds greater depth.

- D-League

-Not totally sure, but I don't think too many players stay at college? Would like to see that fixed.

- Ability to choose the location of All-Star Weekend and design the uniforms plus stadium for it.

- Would like to see Online MyLeague a lot closer to what it was in 2K12 with Online Association. I want everything online that I can do offline.

- Add in more ceremonies please. Love the ring presentations, now would love to see MVP, Sixth Man, DPOY etc. Also perhaps a cut scene when a player calls it quits, gets his jersey retired or a coach retires.

-Better celebrations. They've definitely improved but they could still be better. Would be great to see players going wild after finally getting to the conference finals (think KG at the Wolves) or someone like Kobe going absolutely crazy after winning his fifth title. Further to this, add in championship parade cut scenes.

- Further to that, the ability of the crowd to recognise when a former player is playing and in the right circumstances they boo him, have banners with his name crossed out etc. That would be excellent. Or of course he could be a fan favourite and he gets a loud reception.

-Similar to the above point, if a coach's team is in a real slump, maybe show the crowd a bit more fired up, holding fire him signs etc. Same goes with players who have demanded a trade or have morale issues.

-Free agency needs to be made into a bigger deal. I'm thinking something along the lines of a time limit to make pitches to players, with other teams doing it at the same time as you. If a star player jumps ship, there should be an overlay on the screen making a big deal out of it. Adding to this, if a player wants to come to your team he should get in contact with your GM via his agent, same deal with trades. As has been mentioned before a recap of off-season events even if it's just some pictures would be great. Too often, you go into the next season with the entire league looking a lot different, but you don't even realise until you get twenty games or so in and start playing these new look teams.

That may seem like plenty, but I have faith 2K can at least get half of them done. You guys really listened this year, and I hope you do so again next season!

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K17 Wish List

All I'm saying is year to year saves

I would like this, but with one caveat that I'm not sure is possible. I love seeing the new rookies and player models every year too much to use CAP's or old players. However, if they could figure out a way to insert a new player model in the play of an existing playing mid-mode, then I would absolutely use this.

Basically, if we could get the ability to choose any player, then select something like a "replace player" option with the option for appearance and/or ratings, then that would be a-freaking-mazing. Then whether you used Y2Y saves or simply wanted to insert a rookie who you only had a CAP of yet 2k added after you started your league or recreate a ratings increase with writing them all down, then you could. I'm not a developer, so I'm not sure this can be done, but if it could and they added this it would blow my socks off.


Oh and here's something a little easier.... Could you please add an option to increase the text size in MyLeague. I play on a 50 inch TV and sometimes I have to stand up and move closer to the TV just to read what it says.
