If what you say is true about all those fixes, that's great news! Can anyone else confirm?

I haven't had problems with bird rights ever since launch..


The part about being in control of 30 teams allows you to make the game as real as possible. I find the games boring if I don't have a challenge. This year I've been beaten by the CPU at least five times.

Well it´s up to you how much of a challenge you want.

But in the end, the AI will always be exactly that: an AI.
It will never match your knowledge of how to run a Basketball organization.
And that´s why 30-Team-Control is by far the biggest addition to Franchise Modes. You can help the AI to even things out.

- I tested the Bird Rights in two different saves with the newest Patch, it works fine.
- One of the saves was a 8 years sim and I didn´t see the billion $ glitch.
- And those issues with Star Players signing for the minimum are because of the Hard Cap, it was even before the newest Patch.
With Hard Cap OFF, you won´t see that. Actually, you won´t see Superstars leaving their Teams at all.
Some Contracts for Role Players are still a bit too high and to keep your League balanced, you will need to adjust them.

MyLeague is absolutely playable now, but if you want it balanced and "realistic", you´ll need to adjust some things by yourself and 2K gives you all the options.

However, most of them will resign and not change teams. - See above. Hard Cap OFF and KD will remain with the Warriors and George with OKC. With 30-Team-Control MyLeague is absolutely playable.

If this is proven, thanks for the find.

Very nice if that’s true! So it’s the hard cap?

Definitely the hard cap. It doesn't actually exist in the NBA proper, but it's in the game to help balance things ... except it doesn't work as intended with the other CBA stuff they added this year.

Turn the hard cap off for any MyLeagues and do 30 team control, it's not as time-consuming as letting the AI run wild and you having to rebalance the league every year to offset stupid AI decisions.

Alright guys, I’ve been an offline My League guy forever, but my friend and I decided to start a My League Online. So here is the question I have: Can someone please explain the contract options in MLO? What settings will produce the most realistic results? Thanks!

Also after Patch 1.04


- CPU Teams still NEVER sign 2-way-Contracts....(when you sim 2 or 3 Years)


- when you waive a 1st Rounder in his first Year all 4 Years of his Contract is stretched....(in Reality Year 3 and 4 must be guaranteed by the Team)


but MyLeague all in all seems to be much more playable after the Patch

What are some of your guys approach to injuries that can be played thru but can be re-aggravated? Best to sit them or let them play?
