I was just hoping for morale/chemistry revamps and improved generated draft classes in MyLeague.

The additional badges for max players are awesome.

MyLeague is already so in depth, I’ve just needed a little more in terms of personalities on your team and in the off-season.

No complaints.

If this was the MyLeague blog, its a HUGE letdown. Literally the entire blog aside from 2 paragraphs is about MyGM, which will never be up to the MyLeague standard.

They’re very adamant that they don’t want them to be competing against each other, but making them completely different modes.

This news is a dud. Its like going out with a bad female you've been wanting to get with for a long time...and at the end of the date you lean over to kiss her goodnight and her breath smell like dooze!!! Come on man!!!

I think a fairer analogy would be going out with a girl and she doesn't give it up on the first night.

I hope the point I'm trying to make is obvious.

The stuff in the Spoilers tab I included is a lot more than "2 paragraphs" and a lot more than we should expect from a MyGM blog with a bad title and a poorly worded opening. This is a "sneak peak" people and mainly used to focus on a new, revamped MyGM. Not "here's literally everything new to MyLeague".

Additional MyLEAGUE-Level Features

Staff Card –We’ve had player cards and team cards for years; now it’s time to add staff cards as well. They’re pretty simple and carry over a lot of the information you expect, but now we conveniently group everything into one location.
Revised Morale and Team Chemistry – We touched on this a bit over in MyGM 2.0, but we’ve tweaked the morale and team chemistry formulas to make them a bit more dynamic. Now they’ll continue to trend towards an equilibrium point every day, and the makeup of your team matters. Having greatly different work ethics will lower the equilibrium for your team, so putting together a winner should be a little bit more difficult, but more rewarding for those that are able to handle the system well.
New Personality Badges for Max Players – One thing that’s always tricky to get right is to determine how max players move in the offseason. We’ve all seen how crazy the 2019 NBA offseason was, but for the most part, all of the star moves seem logical – Kyrie and KD in Brooklyn, AD joining LeBron in LA, those types of moves make sense. Yet it’s hard to replicate two star players meeting up and discussing their future together in the simulation logic, so how can we help make more realistic star player moves in the offseason? Well, we’ve added a few new badges that should help add more texture to where players go if everyone can offer a max:
· Media Ringmaster – This player thrives in front of the cameras and prefers to play in big markets. Pretty straightforward, you should expect players with this badge to be more likely to sign to a big market team.
· Warm Weather Fan – These are for the beachgoers that would rather play in warm, temperate climates and avoid the really cold home teams.
· Finance Savvy – These are players that factor in the tax rate in where they want to go in the hopes of really making the most out of their money.
Of course, not all players have these badges and these badges don’t necessarily mean that a max player would take a $10M discount to play somewhere they really like; it’s more of a tiebreaker to help make sure that the player movement feels a little more authentic.
History and Records – We can now pull the player models or portraits when viewing the team history page. Not a huge change, but we think it looks pretty neat and helps give an even better sense of history as you progress through MyLEAGUE.
Improved Draft Class Authenticity to the Current NBA – The NBA after twenty years of auto-generated players should look more and more like the current NBA, in terms of attribute progression and badge growth. We’ve run simulation after simulation to try and tweak the numbers so that if you’re using autogenerated draft classes, it feels like the NBA during your entire MyLEAGUE experience.
Improved Player DNA – We’ve added a lot more functionality to Player DNA to try and make it easier to find the players you want for your draft classes. Overview of revisions and new features:
· Tabs that display all downloads, new / hot downloads and previously downloaded items.
· A button to filter out to just things you’ve created.
· Columns that show the date created, date modified, OVR and age.
· The ability to sort based on columns.
· More upload slots for Player DNA creations.
We know that the franchise fanbase’s passion is unmatched, and we want to continue to give you bigger and better tools to really enjoy the most out of our sandbox modes.
LT / RT to Quickly Scroll – Whenever you’re adjusting sliders or numbers in pretty much any franchise menu, you can hold LT and RT to make scrolling go that much faster. Tweaking progression sliders, making a contract offer in MyGM or tweaking values in Edit Player – chances are high LT and RT will help you make the changes more quickly. This has been in some places in the past, but we’ve seen enough requests for faster changing of values to know that it’s something that our fans could really use.
Option to Force Winners – Now when simming games in MyLEAGUE, you’ll have the option if you want to set one side to win after simming. If you enjoy crafting storylines and creating elaborate situations, or simply just want to see what happens after making a team win all 82 games in a season, we’ve got you covered.

A lot of this stuff was fluff to me.. I'm really hoping for more NBA related content..

- G League games, Sign and trades... something!

Will there be more stuff to do in the offseason.. things like that.

Im hoping..

Re: NBA 2K20 Franchise Mode Developer Blog - MyGM 2.0, MyLEAGUE & More

TBH I'm hopeful that the reason there was so little huge mode improvements for MyLeague is because they spent the year making sure that the features from last year actually work now.


Injury History did not work
Mentor System did not work
G League call up rating bumps did not work
Simulated stats did not work
Player history did not work
Generated Draft Classes did not work



So honestly if they focused on making all of those things work properly this year that is literally enough for me to purchase.

This is something the guys and I in our Sim league discussed often was that, if there aren't any awesome new additions, that'd be ok and not the end of the world, as long as server stability was AT LEAST on par with how it's been the last 3 months and the 10-12 bugs that significantly plagued both offline and online ML were fixed.

I also at least hoped MLO, considering the claim last year to have "everything that offline does except in season training" to actually have everything that offline does except in season training. Maybe at least 2way contracts

Can anyone tell me what this may mean? We can remove the roster pics?

my understanding is when you look at your league history (award winners, stat leaders, etc) it will now show the players picture instead of just his name.

IF the generated draft classes work as advertised and IF the bugs/glitches that plagued MyLeague in 2K19 are fixed (especially the Shot Under The Basket Tendency glitch that gave every player in the League a 99), then I'd be ok. But you got to be real cautious with 2K. If the mode don't generate money, those dudes ain't really serious about it.

That does make sense

Re: NBA 2K20 Franchise Mode Developer Blog - MyGM 2.0, MyLEAGUE & More

So I hope that finally they fixed some myleague online Bugs:

- injuries occur even when injuries are deactivated
- realfg% cannot be used
- some Controller and Coach settings do Not stay when starting a game

Re: NBA 2K20 Franchise Mode Developer Blog - MyGM 2.0, MyLEAGUE & More

Hopefully they worked on the sim engine a bit, and made it so coaches really change the play style of teams.

It is already a really good mode that I sunk over 200 hours in with 2k19, just needs some polish and some added features.

I literally played about 5 games in total between Mygm and My league.  This has been stale for years and with little to no immersion.  We ask for a weekly highlight show like  2k5 or college hoops 2k8 but no go. Hell even co-op online my league would be great. But I'm sure I'm in the minority, but this year is a pass for me for the first time since 2k6.

Re: NBA 2K20 Franchise Mode Developer Blog - MyGM 2.0, MyLEAGUE & More

Serious question as someone who didn't play 2k19 but considering 2k20: What are some of the major MyLeague changes people wanted and didn't find in this article? I'm not saying they don't exist, but MyLeague is light years ahead of other sports games franchise modes. It's understandable over time, they would start having trouble finding things to add. What are some things people wanted / were craving that still aren't here?

They don't have to add huge new features (they're already the most robust in the industry by far), but some tweaks/tuneups to the current in-game functions would have definitely been appreciated. There's a lot to name specifically but the draft, free agency, and team management in general are all areas that could use some practical upgrades
