^Yes, draft classes can be imported (and edited) at any time during your MyLeague. The game will do catch-up scouting as well, so you won't be at a disadvantage if you do wait (which the majority of us probably will do).

From the MyLeague Blog:

Quote:

Draft Class Improvements Draft Classes can now be imported and edited at ANY point (read: editing can happen AFTER importing while the season is ongoing). Additionally, Draft Classes created in-mode can be saved to their own files as well.

Nice! Thank you

So for anyone who has the game, i seen a few Posts talking about how the Sim Stats are not looking good, and that one of the problems that plagued us last year with the dish to open man tendancy

Are we able to edit that when we edit draft classes, during the season.

Should be getting the game tonight, cant wait, to start up my expansion team!

It's kind of intimidating for a dynasty noob like me.

I'm looking forward to seeing the dynasty boards this year -- really felt 2K16 gave them a shot in the arm and 2K17 is going to give them an adrenaline shot straight to the heart (Pulp Fiction style) with how many possibilities there are.

We're a welcoming bunch over there, don't be intimidated -- we all have different styles and the way you start isn't necessarily how you'll end up. My first dynasty thread on OS (linked in my sig, "Picking Up The Pace") wasn't good in retrospect, but I wouldn't be here if people weren't encouraging.

Okay, off my soap box and onto the topic at hand:

This year I plan to take full advantage of the MyLeague Expansion process. I'm going to start up two teams using the "Start in Offseason" option and alter the way the league went. 30 team control (well, 32 now) with my primary team (AKA, the one I'm going to write about and control all facets of) will be an expansion team based in St. Louis (since they just lost the Rams, they have a hole in their collective sports-hearts that I aim to fill). The other expansion team will be based in Kansas City (for a regional rivalry, if I can manage it).

I'm setting both teams in the West and moving Memphis to the East. I expect both expansion teams to be slaughtered in the upcoming season.

I'm going to go ahead and opt for Kansas City to be the Knights (it makes sense thematically with the other teams in KC, like the Chiefs and Royals). St. Louis is a harder name to pick ... the default Sounds isn't that bad (the town has a thriving musical community and history, ranging from Ragtime, Blues, and Jazz) but seeing as how the Jazz are a musical name (and a good one), I want to aim for something a bit more unique.

It's going to be quite a challenge to see if I can get my expansion team to matter in the near-future ... and I'm really looking forward to it.

I was considering going with the St Louis Silverbacks. Closest connection I could come up with was the great zoo and gorilla exhibit they have, I like the alliteration, and I like the in game logos they already provide.

My initial plan is to expand to 36 straightaway and rebrand/redesign the entire league. I've even sketched out an alternate-universe history for how the teams came to be. Over half the current NBA teams will have different names and/or locations, and many of the remaining will have new logos. I like to design

NICEEEE. Was considering an alternate history league myself but the idea just seems overwhelming -- so much to consider in an alternate history league. I hope you post it on the dynasty board, I'll be eager to see how you approach it.

Hey can anyone who has the game tell me if we can use a custom roster with the "Start in offseason" setting in My League? I saw in Mike Lowe's stream that we can use a custom draft class. I create my own fictional league and would love to be able to jump right in and replicate the last draft class I got to in 2k16. Thanks
