Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K20 Wish List

I think it would be cool if they would add all of the players that you come across in MyCareer in a Draft Class so that you could add them to your MyLeague if you want.

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K20 Wish List

Player Progression
A "potential attributes" feature. If not going all out by giving every attribute its own potential rating. At least break them into categories (shooting, playmaking, defense, etc) based on letter grade.

In the letter grade system the individual attributes would progress up until they reach a number that is in the scale for that letter grade (A+,A, etc.)

I am in favor of giving every attribute its on potential rating however (with the new quick edit feature it wouldnt too time consuming). Now you can calculate the potential overall rating using the actual potential attribute ratings. This will help differentiate the development of guys. You can have guys develop into D-Wade vs Klay Thompson (guys with high overall but different skill sets)

I think that you could use potential ratings to help with free agent contract demands and roster logic. Would also open the door for a better scouting system when it comes to the draft. You could have text that tells you how high a guy's potentials are and how close he is to those potentials.

This feature would give more life to MyLeague going forward. scouting the draft would be more fun. Also it would help guys of similar positions progressing in the same fashion since they would all progress to their potential ratings.


I would also suggest a feature that controls a player's progression, regression rate individually. The global sliders were added this year but maybe a similar to what madden has implemented could be added as well (normal, quick, superstar progression rates.)


Free Agency
Would also like to see free agents make contract demands based on how much money is available in total. Compound all of the cap space into one pool and then guys should be ranked by position and by where they are in the league. (79 OVR, 3rd best Center, 31st Overall). This Center would request money based on how much money is available in the league and based on his power ranking so to speak. He could make more money than a guys who is 80 OVR, 11 best PG, 30th Overall) potentially because the center is more valuable relative to his position


This will help with guys not requesting enough money because their overall isnt at a certain threshold. Guys will be paid relative to how good they are to their peers.
Will help create guys that get overpaid because of a weak free agent market.


Advanced Rotation Sub Logic
The advanced rotation was great and outside of the AI not being able to create individual sub patterns (which is totally understandable) it is a monumental addition if a user decides to go through the entire league and do it themselves. However injuries and foul trouble are a hassle to deal with. So how about a depth chart for each position. This would give the AI a reference point for who to replace a player with (especially for in game foul trouble. Injuries are a different beast that require a lot more brainstorming)

MISC:
-Wouldnt mind have the ability to hide OVR ratings. Of course they can operate under the hood as normal but it would add to my enjoyment to strictly evaluate players based on their individual skill ratings.

-I will also advocate for having playbooks, ACE adjustments tied to specific coaches and not teams. Some of the guys here at OS could be contacted to put together 15-20 generic playbooks that can be used for the new coaches later down the line in Myleague.

-CAP Improvements, more sculpting options, more hairstyle options, separate mustache from beard options like in 2k17, and please get rid of the nicknames from the commentary when using a CAP or allow us to set "none" as an option. Im tired of having for "the great ones" on the court.

-Sim stat iprovements- add a "simulation shot locations section" and use the values to get a percentage of the total shots that player will take from certain locations on the floor. Should equal 100% of course and be derived from bbref.com Will help tremendously with PIP issue.

-more soft tissue injuries (hamstring strain, quad strain) and less broken bones. make nagging injuries such as hamstring strain last possibly the entire season if the player is not allowed to rest properly.

-bring back the "road dog" badge that way homecourt can matter even more in the playoffs

-more, more, and more stat overlays/commentary related to the current season. (blank player is currently top 5 in the league in a number of categories and making his case for the MVP, etc.)

-mention the top 5 rookie prospect in the game commentary to build the hype. especially if they are a position of need for a bad team. Will add to immersion.

-have contract logic be based off of standard deviation from the mean and not pure overall rating.

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K20 Wish List

To add to rotations....

Very happy 2K adding in rotation profiles for coaches, but I think we also need a specific substitution scale for coaches thats based on matchups.

All too often I see, in games without advanced rotations, where one team will sub out all starters way too early while on a bit of a roll, while the other team will keep all of their highly rated starters in and allow them to make a huge run themselves. With a slider based on matchups, the logic would be tweaked to possibly make coaches more likely to keep in some starters based on the opponent's players on the floor.

Basketball is all about matchups and coaches will RARELY throw out a full bench lineup against the other team's starters.

---------

Also, obviously, we need garbage time logic. If its later in the 4th quarter, teams need to throw out the end of the bench players to get some PT. The logic is sorta there already, but it happens way too late and only throws out the first bench players.

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K20 Wish List

I know I'm late but hopefully not too late, I'll kept it short. Thanks as always Dave and 2K

Year To Year Myleagues Saves... I would like to see my progress in myleague

Force CPU v CPU Wins from the daily view... Give us the power and option to see BOS vs LAL in the Finals every year if we want to.

The ability to use/switch to any court before a game starts, *Without rebranding*. Give us the option to see and experience all the courts while playing our myleague

***In addition to being able to download and save more than 4 rebrands and courts without having a purely online cloud save Myleague...

And finally multiple scoreboard/broadcast visuals. Bring back some old scoreboards from 2K1 up to now. This will give us the option to emulate and see different channels (and eras to go along with every draft class you added this year), NBATV, TNT, ESPN, FOX, NBC, regular season, playoffs, finals etc... Just slap on a 2K Logo and give us visual options.

Give us options on how each of our games looks, it goes hand in hand with how each of our games progress with the slider options this year. It gets old seeing the same scoreboard all year long.


Year to year saves and visual options, and this games replay-ability will sky rocket 1000%

Im not sure how easy the others would be but these 3 stand out. Force wins should be easy, year-to-year saves would be INCREDIBLE, and lastly, multiple themes....

Give us three different broadcast themes with a special playoffs/Finals theme. Even better would be a possibility to add in our own sounds for the different themes. Nothing crazy like sounds for each team for each theme, just one set of custom music for each theme.

I think all of them would be easy to implement. Unless for some reason under the hood the arenas are "locked" with the teams. If we go to a play now game and select a classic team, only then we see that court. I would think it would be as simple as "unlocking" the courts so any team can use them. I don't like to compare games but even in MLB The Show, during franchise we could play in any field we want.

There are a lot of courts and arenas that are used in 2K, some specific to mycareer, and others just with classic teams during play now. And sadly that is the only way you can experience those courts. I just don't see why we can't use them at our leisure especially when we know they are there. Occasionally playing in our old era courts would be nice, or our opponents old courts, or even a custom one every now and then, without using up a rebrand slot.

Definitely +1 to custom music for each theme! Could you imagine see your guys warm up in the playoffs, game 7 with that NBA on NBC music theme! With a retro looking scoreboard! Man.

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K20 Wish List

@thedude2369 on twitter and myself did this NBA 2K20 Wishlist for ML/MGM/MLO/Roster Creator/CAP

NBA 2K20 MyLeague/MyGM/CAP/Roster Creator Wishlist


Staff
• We need to know the coaching candidate’s preferred system and system proficiency levels and how they work with the existing roster and top free agents before they are hired.
• We need to see a player’s system proficiencies (yes, they should have more than one) on any player acquisition screen – free agency, trade, draft, etc.
• Coaching stats are important too. Teams do not hire coaches solely based on their name and 3 letter grades. We need to know if they excel with established teams or teams in development. Key Coaching Stats: Xs & Os, Player Development, System Proficiency, Leadership, Respect, Line Up Adjustments and Player Relationship.
• Staffing options and realism. If its legally possible, add more coaches and staff members to the candidate list. Former Head Coaches like David Blatt, Jeff Van Gundy, Kevin McHale, Mark Jackson & Derek Fisher need to be readily available. Teams need to have real assistant coaches as well.
• Expand the coaching staff; there is not one single team in the NBA that has only a head coach and one assistant. Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Player Development Coach would be sufficient, but they need to have expanded attributes as well. Include as many real assistant coaches as possible. Stop filling the staff with made up people. (4-6 Assistant Coaches/4-6 Scouts) – GM for MyLeague!!
• Lower level head coaches that don’t get hired, should eventually stop turning down assistant coaching jobs.
• A majority of users see themselves in MyLeague as the Commissioner of the whole league or the team owner. Therefor the Front Office Staff should be as follows: GM, Head Coach, (Lead) Assistant Coach[es], Player Development Coach, Head Scout and Trainer.
Creation
• Give us tattoos & face wear (Embiid’s mask, goggles, etc.).
• Staff creation. Allow us to create Coaches, Assistants, Player Development Coaches, GMs, Scouts and Trainers just like we would create a player; without having to go to the edit screen.
• Add creation of warm-ups for relocated and expansion teams. Add more premade logos and jersey designs for historic teams – Seattle Supersonics are probably one of the most created relocation/expansion teams and although it’s a great feature, the classic green and yellow Sonics uniforms never look quite right.
• Add “Retired” to the possible injuries for players that have retired (Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh, David Lee, etc.)
• PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE stop with the ridiculous nicknames. MLB: The Show has name use & recognition down. Play it. Learn it. Implement it.
• Vitals: Allow us to add what year, round, and pick, and what team the player was drafted to. Also allow an option for undrafted
• Shoe Creation – when creating a 100% custom shoe, allow us to select the colors as Team Color 1, Team Color 2, etc. Add all the current brands for customization: Jordan, Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Reebok, BBB, Q4, Anta, Puma, Li-Ning and Converse. Custom logo Import.
• More named historic Jumpshot/Layup/Dribble/Dunk packages.
• Attention to detail & quality assurance. I relocated the clippers to Seattle – when I started a home Game the overlay in the top right corner showed: Key Arena, Los Angeles, CA…
• Create A Court: Allow us (if possible) to add or subtract from real NBA team’s courts. And allow us to create Alt. courts that go with certain jerseys.
Free Agency
• Salary expectations are terrible. The AI needs to have better awareness of the market value of players. Not every single player is going to honestly expect a Multi-year deal at $30M/year.
• Decreasing Salary expectations – if players are not receiving offers, the AI needs to steadily decrease the expectation over time.
• Set the Market – The first 3-5 Offers a player receives should “set the market” for that player – This basically happens in the real NBA.
• Improved Contract Negotiation Screen – Allow users to site expectations for minutes and role. Add Perks such as: Championship Opportunity, Increased Playing Time, Larger Role & Face of Franchise. Let established players know how you intend to use them (See: Steve Kerr to Andre Iguodala)
• Moratorium changes – The whole point of the moratorium should be to get players to agree to play for the team for a stated salary. You should NOT have to release cap holds or move players until the player has agreed in theory. After a player agrees, you would have until, say, 3 days into true Free Agency to accommodate your agreement; if you do not accomplish the requirements, the player should notify you that he will return to the open market and maybe have a decreased interest in playing for the team that made the original agreement.
• Improved “View Offers” Screen – List all offers players have received including the perks that interest them.
• Player Interest – we already have top targets for teams – Free Agents should have team preferences too, maybe not team specific, but things like: Prefers to stay on current team, Prefers Western/Eastern Conference. Although some of this appears on player cards, during free agency we need more IN YOUR FACE data.

Offseason
• This may take away from some accuracy but would add an “ease of access” feel to gamers who like to control the entire league. I suggest the order of events should happen in this order:
♣ League Meetings
♣ League Realignment
♣ Staff Signing
♣ Player Options
♣ Team Options
♣ Player Retirement
♣ Hall of Fame Inductees (w/User Input)
♣ Jersey Retirement (w/User Input)
♣ Draft Lottery
♣ Draft Combine
♣ Pre-Draft Workouts (Bring back the optional drills – this allows the user to see how the player “feels”)
♣ NBA Draft
♣ Rookie Signing for 1st Round Picks
♣ Qualifying Offers
♣ Moratorium (See Notes in Free Agency Section)
♣ Free Agency
♣ Summer League (Sacramento, Las Vegas, and Utah)
♣ Player Progression
♣ 2K Hoops Summit
♣ Training Camp (Add Drills)
♣ Rookie Signing for 2nd Round Picks (have more players sign, go to G League or go overseas)
♣ Advance to Next Season
Coaching/Training

• The Time Line Rotation is convoluted and not user friendly. That said, some users may enjoy it, so just provide the additional options: Situational Line ups: Starters, Crunch Time (Final 5-7 minutes of a close or important game), Defensive, Shooters, Blow-Out and Gain Experience.
• Assign Roles – Have assigned Roles for players, so that when User and AI controlled teams edit line ups, they know, for example that Andre Iguodala is the 6th man on that team.
• In Season Training and Development needs to be easier to understand. Maybe create a plan at the beginning of the season for each player. Make it easier to visualize the changes and have the option to pull reports.
• G-League. The G-League is becoming increasingly important in the NBA. Teams are using their affiliate as a true minor league system. We need to be able to send players returning from injury down for in game rehab. G-League time needs to have a tangible effect on players that play on those teams.
1) The G League should be playable.
2) The G League should have full 14 man rosters so that we can sign anyone from that team.
3) Add in Exhibit 10, Training Camp contracts
• Training Camp/Pre-Season: Playable preseason and add 20 players to each team and have roster cuts like in real life. Allow us to sign players to non-guaranteed and exhibit 10 contracts.

NBA Draft

• The in-game Draft experience is boring. There needs to be something to make this worth enduring. Needs entertainment value.
• Draft show – I realize cut scenes are hard when using created players, but how about show hosts and summary screens? Reactions to surprise picks and trades,
best available picks at any point in the draft. Host predictions would be nice too.
• Draft stories like Madden games. Tell me if a player is moving up or down the big board and why. Tournament Darlings.
• Pre-Draft workouts. Some players should randomly refuse to workout for your team based on record or draft position, that happens all the time. As previously stated, bring back the user drills; it gives you a feel for how your targets play.
• Mock drafts need to update if picks are traded in the offseason prior to the draft.
• Buy Draft Picks – every team could have an allotment of cash to buy picks; it could be handled just like proposing a trade. Give every team 5 units of $1M each and allow them to combine blocks during negotiation.
• Second rounders are HARDLY signed. Please change that. Most second rounders sign. Some even sign 2-way contracts.
Misc. New Features
• Force Win: For MyLeague players that like to mimic the real NBA, it would be nice if you allow us to choose who wins each game so that we have the correct standings day by day. Madden has the same feature in their franchise mode.
• Multiple Scoreboard/Presentation: Like MLB the Show 18 has, 2K should allow us to have different scoreboards depending on the game. For example, one for 2K Sports (for national TV games), and 3 other local broadcasts.
• Promotional Calendar: Set promo nights for example Bobble Head nights, T-Shirt giveaways, etc
• Better Scheduling: The AI for scheduling games past the first season should still follow the trends of previous seasons. IE: Champion plays at home opening night, No games should be played on Dec. 24th, big teams should play on Christmas, etc.
• Carry Over Saves for draft class: It would make draft class creating a lot easier if vitals, ratings, and tendencies got carried over to the next game. I understand that signatures and appearance would be very hard to do because of the additions made in new game.
• Implementation of International Games: Preseason games in China and Japan, regular season games in London/Mexico City etc.
• Dynamic Referee Crews: Referees are a big part of NBA basketball. Most fans dislike them. In MyLeague we should have 50-60 referees that are rotated between games like in real life and make them have tendencies to represent their personalities and how they call the game. This would add a lot of realism to the mode and gameplay.

Roster Editor
• When roster is full in roster editor, allow an option that says: “Add as 2-way player or Euro Stash player”
1) This would make roster making a LOT easier!

Final Thoughts
• Bugs and Glitches: I wish 2K would have players from the MyLeague community game test the modes. I know several of us would even do it for FREE. That is how much we care about the mode and the game.

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K20 Wish List

Fairly big one that really ruins historical playthroughs:

Players in the 2k-made historical draft classes are never set to 0 years pro. Therefore, literally every pre-existing NBA player in the draft classes are ineligible for ROTY, and they all retire early. Paul Pierce came into the league from the 1998 draft as a 16 year vet.

It becomes very time consuming to fix this issue, because not only are contracts / years pro the only things not included in quick edit for some reason, but when you are editing players in their draft classes, years pro just disappears, it's not available to be selected. Which wouldn't matter if it their years pro were 0 like it should be, but the problem is, it's not for literally every single player that 2k found and put in their historical draft classes. AND there is no option to edit it.

The only fix is, load the rookies with the random years pro into a draft class, actually go through with the draft, and then individually find the players on their respective new teams, and edit their years pro from the actual Player Editor, not the quick edit because hey nope no option to quick edit years pro

Here are a few potential solutions:

- Just make it so when you upload a player to a Draft Class, his years pro defaults down to 0. There is absolutely no scenario in wish a player coming into the draft would have played a year in the NBA already anyway. Should not be hard to do that

- If for some reason you can't do that, at least put Years Pro in the quick edit options so we can fix it ourselves.

- If you can't do either of those for some reason, AT LEAST put Years Pro in the player edit screen when you are editing draft classes, so we can fix it ourselves there.

The way it's set up now, the only option we have is the most time-consuming one possible.

Between the age glitch and the years pro glitch, and the fact that there are maybe 5-10 players in each draft class anyway, woof. What a tremendous disappointment the historical draft classes have been. I literally do not see how this could have been done any worse. Really, truly appreciate the idea, but man. It's been a comically frustrating process trying to get these to work as advertised in Erick Boenisch's blog. They are nothing like what was proposed in that blog.

MyLeague Online:

- Ability to set/change playoff seeds 1 to 8
- Ability to set 12-8-6-4-2 teams playoffs

2 above is also related to have a 24-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2 teams MLO seasons.

***THEN NEW MENU SCREEN***
♣ Player Progression
♣ Training Camp (Add Drills, Scrimmages / ability to practice plays with new look team. Player drills and scrimmages should have real lasting effects on attributes and maybe even other things too like badges and tendencies? The drills and scrimmages should be simulatable too but there should be incentive to actually play them in terms of reward. Scrimmages should have a positive affect on team chemistry, and offseason transactions should have a negative affect, especially if there were significant changes)
♣ Begin Regular season (or preseason)

This would give training camp more significance, and it would match how it is in real life, which is: an exciting opportunity to bring the new team together, train hard and build some chemistry. It should give the user a feeling that there's a fresh new season ahead and we're getting ready.

Training camp ISN'T THE OFFSEASON. From the perspective of an NBA office, training camp is where the new season starts.

Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K20 Wish List

-More stat overlays during the game that display storylines and stats from the season that show during the game. Team PPG ranks, team RPG, all that, also player averages, and news headlines.
