I am a MyEra/MyLeague diehard. Here are three things I would like to see in 2k24

[King Ken]

1. Ported draft classes from 2k23 to 2k24. Please port all draft classes for Xbox Series X and PS5.

That would save me and other draft class creators so much time and it makes a lot of sense.

2. Improved CPU MyEra/MyLeague GM logic. I would like to see these teams think like real GMs. Not trading future unprotected first for Amal McCaskilla which ends up being Kevin Durant. Let's really dig into improving the logic of the CPU to where it's like real life.

3. Some added presentation. I feel like it's been minor upgrades over the last five years. I do like the 80s, 90s, and 2000s TV style but i would like more presentation like maybe a TNT styled weekly show that covers the games of the week, top draft prospects, teams that are trending up or down and jokes on the teams trending down from Shaq or Kenny. I would also like to see more presentation for the NBA Draft. It's pretty bare bones.

I am surprised how at this stage (Feb), this mode isn't buggy, keep that up. That's unusual for 2k as I usual drop this game because of bugs by this time of the year. That's been a big win.

Others may have more in mind but I feel like just these additions would add hours of game play. I still feel like CPU MyLeague AI is still the biggest flaw of 2k franchise mode and it always has been. If this can change and it becomes hard not to dominate this game mode, that would be nice.

You gotta go in and add draft pick value esp for late years. Cpu sleeping on them and doesn’t seem to accurately forecast like we’re contending but in 4 years our star will be washed and on an albatross contract. I’m consistently getting new talent, when I play for keeps, I am a jack *** like Danny ainge as a gm. Lol u start getting over 30 and I might send you off, unless you are an all time great.

Sometimes I wanna keep people w franchise for statistical milestones, ring count etc.

That’s another thing: way too easy to dump a meh player on a terrible contract.

I have tried house rules and I don’t follow them, so I’d like to see a mode without trade finder or any trade calibration that is instant. It should take days or weeks to hash out. It’s also way too easy to just fire your whole staff and get high level replacements.

I’d also like the computer to try more trades (maybe not while I’m simming, but be creative and do thoughtful moves.) I have trade check on so it’d be cool to look over them and think like hmm. Mostly the trades are like bum a for bum b. Kaayy.

I too have been a die-hard in the MyNBA Eras. I agree with a lot of what you are saying and would add the following:

1. More models for some stars. A rookie Kevin Garnett or Steve Nash as they looked so different. Kobe and Shaq have some great alternate looks. Skinny Manute or skinny Shawn Bradley.

2. More presentation advancements. The Jordan era presentation is great for the first half of the 90s but I'd love to see changes by 95-96. Bringing in a little more onscreen in terms of stats and looks that represent that time.

3. More eras! 1995-96 with expansion and the draft class from that next year. I simmed and edited to get a good representation of that year and it has been a blast, but I would love to see 2k give us the option to start there. 2008-2009 or 2012-2013 would be other good starting points for the draft classes that followed.

4. More shoes from different eras.

5. More courts for teams like Phoenix, Atlanta, Houston, and San Antonio. Fix the shadow issues if you edit an arena.

6. Keep working the players to add more faces and rosters.

I wonder if the 2k devs have ever internally tested negative assets and how it went. It's such a huge and obvious missing factor in 2k. Some guys should straight up be worth negative stars in the trade UI, depending on who you're dealing with.

Have the cpu offer in-season extensions again. You have all-NBA players changing teams every 4 years otherwise.

Add a buyout market.

Add back off-season training camps or give us a way to raise a player’s potential without editing them. I miss developing 2nd round or undrafted players and it’s basically impossible without the untapped potential training camps.

Bring back the pre-2k22 training system. I want to have complete control over which attributes I want to increase.

It does feel like the boat has sailed on this one as they don't make any money off it. It's such an incredibly in depth mode but you also pretty much have to control all teams in terms of trading and re-signing to get something resembling a realistic experience.

My big one is signing draft picks. It's been pretty much coded forever that the CPU won't sign second rounders (aside from Eurostashes), no matter where they were picked or how good they are. I want a league where there can be sleepers found and developed but the CPU just has.no interest in any pick that isn't 1-30.

Also, bizarre waivers. I take over all teams and do contract options so they make sense, then I'll get to free agency and half the guys I accepted the offers on are unrestricted free agents because the CPU then waives them. I've even seen Josh Giddey waived after his third season.

Keeping approval on for trades is essential too, especially during the first round of the draft when the CPU seems obsessed with trading every second lottery pick for readymade players that don't really make sense to the team trading then.

I could write a thesis on the immersion-killers with generated draft classes, which I use as I want a unique game world.

It's both such frustrating mode and probably the best mode of its kind in sports games. Microtransactions have ruined it a bit though as they clearly aren't going to stick a lot of resources into it going forward to improve CPU logic.

The scouting and drafting system for auto-generated classes is so bad. I’m tired of 5’9 23 year old point guards and small forwards with no 3, no “D” and no athleticism. Everyone comes tatted up like Chris Andersen or doesn’t even look remotely human facial wise. The “name pool” needs an update too. How many Barry Carrolls and Morris Sr.’s can there be?

Their tendencies don’t match their attributes either, point guard posting up like they’re Shaq and 25 3pt centers shooting like Steph. Their peak starts and stops are too short, they stop progressing at 23 and start regressing at 28. They don’t develop well either, after 15-20 years there’s usually only a couple of players with overalls in the 90’s.

There are so many cool hair options as well but no, every second prospect has to look like Alec Baldwin after five hours in a tanning salon. I spend half my time on the game editing players after they've been drafted to look somewhat realistic.

The names/nationalities are all messed up on next gen too. Previously you could tell where players were from by the names assigned, now you'll get an African American point guard from Wyoming called Jiyuan Chen, you'll get Leftos Christos from Nigeria, someone called Arvydas from England, Dean Woolridge from Russia, Hakeem Adejyi from Turkey etc.

Every draft class having 50 players that averaged 25+ ppg or 13+ rpg in college. All international prospects having equally gaudy stats.

Wingspans ffs! So many dinosaur arms. And as you say, seemingly no real link between physical measurements and potential/draft rating.

Every draft class having 20 players who are 7'2 or taller.

I was hoping they might have improved generated draft classes on next gen but they're still as ridiculous as ever.

Thank you for mentioning every problem I have with MyNBA. If they fixed generated draft classes it would allow the mode to not break after a few seasons. As it stands now it is necessary to edit every single generated draft class for the mode to work. The naming issue is egregious because it could be fixed very easily by having a database person spend a day on generated draft class parameters.

Re: I am a MyEra/MyLeague diehard. Here are three things I would like to see in 2k24

The broadcast team gotta stop talking about rookies in past tense

The art team needs a overhaul felt rush because some of those older players look nothing like their counterpart
the my player selfie pics look better in game then the era players do
Got mookie Blaylock looking like one of those spear chuckers from black Panther

The Kobe era also felt rushed from a arena sound standpoint

The Staples&knick Arena doesn't play their signature Organ sound just slap with generic sounds smh

CPU teams need to draft better in each era

The progression system is so flawed
Each season players like Tony Allen boost their 3 - pointer to 95+

And each players hotzones keeps changing in their prime

Re: I am a MyEra/MyLeague diehard. Here are three things I would like to see in 2k24

The name in draft classes actually reflect how the world is now.

Think about it, by some people assessment you would be complaining if you saw a black athlete with the name Giannis Antetokounmpo from GREECE, with brothers as well from Greece under that name. This is real life, aint nothing wrong on that aspect if you kinda think about it....

Butttt we definitely need more uniforms for MyEra, and more Courts out the box. Also All Star jerseys of the past or at least allow us to customize uniforms via 2KShare at the time to do it ourselves.

We also need more options in the create a uniform as well, like a template we could go by of some sort for when missing jerseys need to be added

Add in old features like how the NBA.COM was for the older games...

Re: I am a MyEra/MyLeague diehard. Here are three things I would like to see in 2k24

As a longtime fan of doing Franchises and MyLeagues, I feel the current, next-gen version is pretty loaded. Same things I would like to see added and/or improved.

- I'd like to see more animations for big milestone moments. I play as the Lakers and in this season I've been passing a lot of milestone moments with Lebron. I haven't gotten to the scoring record yet but I've moved into either the top 10 or top 5 in some categories as he's done in real life this season. It'd be cool to get some type of graphic pop-up or have the announcers acknowledge the milestone. A lot of times I pass these milestones and have no clue until I check the NBA Records section and see that he's moved up. In MLB The Show, for example, if a player is approaching 300 career homeruns, the announcers will mention that he's getting closer with each homerun. They'll say something like that's career homerun number 298 or 299. Then when they do reach a milestone a graphic will pop up saying "career homerun number 300" and there's sometimes an animation of the player coming back to the dugout and his teammates clapping for him.

- I'd like to have more control over G-League rosters, even if it's just the team that is associated with your NBA team. Before I start my MyLeague, I'll manually move players from the Free Agent pool and move them over to the G-League team that they really play for. After I start the MyLeague, I noticed that if I sign a player that plays for the G-League to a two-way deal or 10-day contract and I release them, they go back to the Free Agent pool and can't be placed back on a G-League team. I know it's something very minor but I'm a realistic freak when it comes to MyLeague and I love keeping things as accurate as possible with rosters.

I think they focus more on season milestones and not career. I’ve seen graphics for most blocks (or blocks per game maybe) in a season, most points in a playoff game etc. I was redoing the playoffs of MJ Bulls vs Bird Celtics in the modern era (using my custom all time roster) and when MJ was closing in on 63 points they were mentioning it. And then when I scored 64 they had him doing his “jumping fist from the Cavs game winner” celebration graphic and the announcers made a big deal out of him passing MJ. Of course they naturally don’t recognize that the same guy broke the record lol.
