I wouldn't be able to do that, because it's just not my area (gameplay team and roster team are in control of that stuff, so if things are of value there they'll be weighted accordingly in the overall formula).

However, I think you should know that the Franchise AI looks at more than just overall for making decisions. We honestly do very little that uses the overall and tend to look at all the attributes -- which is why trades sometimes look dumb when you just compare the overall's of the players in the trade. One team might've really liked a particular set of attributes of a particular player in the trade, so they valued him more than what the overall formula does. For instance, you might see an AI team trade an 80 for a 77 because the 77 has really good rim protection attributes and the team valued those highly because either the team was lacking in that area or they needed another player like that to fit the coach's style.

It's nice that they say that and maybe this year will be different, but overall was absolutely key to every rotation decision that was made and it seemed to be key to trades, free agent signings, etc. It's why three and D guys or rim protectors sat the bench, 6th men started, etc. Because overall was how they picked which five to start and who to give backup minutes to, regardless of skill set.

So I'll hope overall isn't the be all and end all this year, but I have years of experience that tells me that it is by FAR the biggest factor in any trade or free agent signing and absolutely they way rotations were set by the AI.

Have a presentation problem with the expansion teams,

Home and away games i dont get the pregame (Kenny,EJ,Shaq, even lineups just goes straight to jumpball) and no halftime or post-game show

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, I am having the same problem. Hopefully it can be fixed.

Question for the people that have 17. Have the following been improved:

Free agency logic
Draft logic
Sim results
Generated draft classes
Overall team building logic

These seem to be pretty persistent problems that I'm hoping are addressed.

The first two--definitely not.

Sim results--no, and I think some posters here see them as worse (no POEs at the moment).

Generated draft classes--there may be a couple small improvements under the hood but dish to open man tendency is still low for non-PGs and a lot of stats are completely nonsensical, particularly shooting stats. I would not say there's much of an improvement here.

Overall team building logic--I can't say. The dev blogs hinted at improvement but I can't speak to actual results just yet.

And I know you didn't mention it but contract amounts tie into a lot of this, they are no better than last year.

Thanks for the reply. Disappointing to say the least.

Okay I can't doe the life of me figure out how to import a draft class into a My league that's already going. Any help?

Trying to fill out a league. Normal teams, hall of fame. Add Nygaardian for the invite.

Slowly putting together my alternate-universe NBA. Struggling with a bug in PC that won't let you view shorts edits live, though I worked around it for one design. It would be great if someone screenshot all the shorts stripe etc. options, though I wouldn't expect them to since it's a lot of work.

I wish I could rename the conferences and divisions; the way I have it makes no sense as it is.

So here's what my league looks like:
NORTHERN CONFERENCE
Northwest Division: Vancouver Grizzlies, Seattle SuperSonics, Portland Lumberjacks, Sacramento Kings, Utah Raptors, Colorado Caribou
Midwest Division: Minnesota Wolves, Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons, Columbus Knights
Northeast Division: Toronto Huskies, Montreal Jazz, New York Liberty, New Jersey Dragons, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
Southwest Division: San Francisco Warriors, Los Angeles Lions, San Diego Clippers, Las Vegas Silverbacks, Phoenix Suns, Austin Bats
Gulf Division: Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Bison, New Orleans Pelicans, Miami Heat, Orlando Stars
Southeast Division: Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Memphis Jackals, Washington Wizards, St. Louis Spirits, Louisville Stallions

I have worked out a chronology of league growth, team moves, etc., as well.

Quick question for you guys. What is the difference between MyLeague and MyGM? Ive only really played MyCareer in past 2ks but I've been enjoying franchise mode on MLB the show so i want to play something similar on NBA but I'm not sure which game mode is best for it or even what the differences are.

MyLeague is the franchise mode in NBA 2K like what's in The Show in a lot of ways (minus carry-over saves). Honestly a toss up in my mind which is better overall, the advancements in ML this year have been bigger than I predicted.

MyGM is like an RPG version of MyLeague; you're put in control of 1 team (as opposed to having the option to control all of them in ML) and you can only be in control of 1 team at a time in MyGM. In that mode you're subject to the whims of your owner who will set goals for you to accomplish each season and, if you fail enough of them, you will be fired.

You'll also have to deal with players/coaches in terms of meeting their wants and needs, as well as manage the fan experience and make a profit for your team (and yourself as you earn VC in that mode). If you want to avoid the owner goals, you can buy the team you're the GM of for a large amount of VC (it was 50,000 VC in 2K16) but that is, again, for that one team.

MyGM has some features -- like the player/coaches sit downs, interactions -- that MyLeague doesn't, but the absolute freedom you have in MyLeague and the ability to customize the league at any time by rebranding all teams, some team, moving some teams, expanding the league, and manipulating the rosters via editing makes MyLeague, in my opinion, the far superior experience. But it's definitely more time-consuming if you really get into it.

It's not intuitive, at all. Go to prospect scouting and select any player. Among the options will be a choice to load/download a new draft class.

Yeah, it really should have it's own menu option. Took me half an hour easily looking around in game before I stumbled on it.

I really do hope that MYGM addressed a few issues this year, such as: If I'm the Knicks and I want to trade for a small forward, it would always effect Carmelo, as if I was going to trade him and in the offseason free agency, star players such as Lebron would wind up on a team such as the Suns. I hope the AI has been adjusted this year because I do enjoy the RPG element.

The AI logic has been improved, but it's not a jump -- more an incremental bit. From what I've seen in my ML with test sims and runs, the AI still proposes some pretty dumb trades and players still go to places that are head scratchers. I can't speak to how it'll function in MyGM, but I imagine the results will be similar.

Thank you so much and that is the worst possible thing ever! I figured it was for sure an option under scouting but not within an option.
