NBA 2K19 MyLEAGUE and MyGM Developer Blog

[JohnDoe8865]

THIS is the kind of stuff I get genuinely excited about. Save your sizzle trailers, your card modes, your gimmicks and other fluff. THIS - is the meat and potatoes. THIS - is what matters to many gamers like myself. THIS - has put NBA 2K19 front and center on my radar now.

This dev blog was deeper than all Madden 19 dev blogs put together.

Injury history...
30 Team Summer League

I don't even know which new feature is my favorite, there's so many awesome ones.

Best franchise mode, period.

I've said this for the past couple of years and I'll say thiis again. You 2k fans have NOTHING to be upset about. The amount of time and effort, as well as how much fan feedback these developers take and put into every installation of the game is absolutely unparalleled.

Coming over from FIFA, PES, NHL and Madden, to reading about what 2k has produced for just ONE mode for their series is unreal. And that mode isn't even ultimate team. Again, you all have NOTHING to complain about. This game really i miles past every other sports game, maybe even every other video game

You've hit the nail on the head. There are many games that don't produce additions like during the entire generation of a console. Unlike other sports games that haven't caught up to where they were at 10 years ago, 2k is blazing a trail right here, right now. Unbelievable work and they deserve a ton of credit, not just the devs but the suits that give them the freedom to work to the best of their ability.

I said in another thread that there would have to be major changes to MyGM/MyLeague in order for me to consider picking up 2k19 day one and this blog right here has me pretty convinced that I'm gonna get it now... Hopefully the mode isn't as broken as it was last year at launch... With all of the new features and moving parts of it my biggest concern is whether or not they all work correctly... 2k18 to me has been a blast to play offline all year... Hopefully they just improve on the base that they have now because it's way better than what 2k17 offered

Yeah, this was basically confirmed in Brian Mazique's interview with Erick Boenisch. He did say that the G-League teams have their real branding now though.

Oh nice, I missed that. Seems like I made a mistake by only reading the blog yesterday. I'll have to take a look at that interview too.

Re: NBA 2K19 MyLEAGUE and MyGM Developer Blog

There is a work around by just starting a franchise and just editing inside (update apply in existing franchises) MyLeague, but the downside to its when 2K adds missing players to the game you're SOL unless you start over or just create a CAP for that specific player and add him to the FA pool.

Well, with the new player DNA you should just be able to go into your MyLeague and use CAP to download the individual player from 2k's player DNA library now and add them to the FA pool. So really the Player DNA in CAP should alleviate this issue to an extent. You'll still have to assign them to their team, but that would have to happen anyway.

To me that’s one of the best things I heard yesterday. Being able to copy a new player added to the 2k base roster to your custom roster, my league, what have you, fast and easily instead of creating a CAP is big time. Plus, being able to simply download current or classic players easily from guys like Tgor and a few other incredibly talented CAP makers here at OS. Deeper free agent library, All the 2 way guys, and classic players 2k doesn’t have licenses too. Looking forward to seeing some more classic teams created now with this feature (thinking about those 93 suns and Reggie’s Pacers teams). Great and extremely valuable additions to enhance the overall experience in multiple modes that for me is not overlooked!

Vannwolfhawk206, SonicMage, VTCRB, Won’t be able to sleep after reading this

stoked about all the options and opportunities THANK YOU

Hoping that you put in the time on classic players with the way they shoot ,move & all their signature styles . Truly hope you’ve adjusted the ratings to better represent them

Best blog i’ve read from 2k. ...... Second only to Vannwolfhawk206 Blog

LOL! Thanks man, but this was awesome! Not even comparable! I Can’t wait for Czars to drop! Hoping we get another 7000 words?! :-p I’m so glad they brought these developer blogs back the last few years! I eat this stuff up! I’ll just say yesterday was not a very productive day for me! Lol

Re: NBA 2K19 MyLEAGUE and MyGM Developer Blog

😲 was my face when reading that blog. Not a NBA fan but because of 2K's Franchise Mode I began playing the NBA2K series. The amount of detail added into 2K19 this year was just incredible. Didn't buy 2K18 because I wasn't a fan of the story mode so glad to see the traditional MyGM return. Def will preorder now.

Re: NBA 2K19 MyLEAGUE and MyGM Developer Blog

This is just me thinking out loud, and I know it's not really fit for this thread, but...

Being able to opt out of the MyGM story and just play it the blank-slate way?

I've been craving that for MyCareer. I guess we'll wait and see how that goes...

Don't get me wrong, I'm still pre-ordering. I'm still waiting on news on if this is all in the Switch version, because if it is, I'm getting that one.

definitely hoping since they added in a my-gm option without the storyline that they do the same thing with my career, but i won't bank on it. they baked a TON of advertisements into the my career cut scenes last year and i'm betting they do it again.

Re: NBA 2K19 MyLEAGUE and MyGM Developer Blog

I wish Madden franchise got 50% of this effort

Hopefully we got similar effort into improving MyCareer and ProAM

Re: NBA 2K19 MyLEAGUE and MyGM Developer Blog

This game has a ludicrous amount of content!

I primarily play MyLeague and run it deep throughout the game's life cycle. I'll check out MyGM until the story ends and then bail because I like the game to naturally create its own narratives and not have one forced upon it. Now I'll be able to play MyGM without the scriped narrative and take a deep dive this year into it. Needless to say all of that will keep me busy lol.

That's just the franchise modes which can be customized to your hearts content. I'll have a look at MyCareer but until they remove the story I probably won't spend a lot of time with it but who knows.

As an offline gamer any one of those modes can last you 12 months and then some, that is an amazing amount of value and why the game easily justifies a $60 purchase each year.

Re: NBA 2K19 MyLEAGUE and MyGM Developer Blog

No, myleague is about customization.

MyGM is about the financial side.

I want a combination of the 2 myself.

I agree, would love the options from mygm in myleague but without the vc nonsense
