Re: NBA 2K16 Developer Blog - MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online, MyGM & More

I think we are getting tired of being told to wait til next year. We had a huge thread upset about the status of OL last year. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-bad-ugly.html We had an even bigger thread the year before when the leagues were an absolute joke. Intentional or not, naming the mode online my league has certain expectations that it is somewhat similar to it's counterpart...

I understand what you are saying but I do not think you are looking at the bigger picture.

1. Simballer's team had no control over online leagues until this year's cycle.
2. This blog is very different in both what is being said and what is not being said than at any time in the past 5 years.

If there us no follow-thru in the next 3 years, then have-at-it. By this time we all should be able to see if Simballer and his "crew" can deliver on his vision.

View it this way: the online community got a complete new internal development schedule and pipeline put into place. This is year one of this implementation. Let's see what happens before going any further.

No it doesn't

People who love My League offline after going through years of no real big jump in franchise mode, even with it taking a step back

We have an intelligent poster like Lakers24 who created a Phenomenal thread very intelligent post, with well thought out points, pictures to demonstrate, very organized and easy to understand, that could not be otherwise disagreed with by anyone, and apparently the devs thought it was in line as well.


If someone wants to lie and say they never saw it then here it is. Probably the most liked post in OS history

http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ersion-me.html


And guess what, it didn't happen all in year 1 and people still didn't continue to complain and gripe and act like 2k took their grandmother to the woodshed

Saw it a while ago but in lights of all these negativity, I just want to point out that posts like this should remind us why sports heads like us come to Operation Sports. I can't praise this website enough for what it has done for the sports gaming community.

Most teams, ranging from the Lakers to the Kings, moved without any shenanigans. With controversy but not deceit and lies. The most analogous sport team move I can think of is the Baltimore Colts moving to Indianapolis.

Just like there was an open wound in the NFL until Baltimore was made right, so will there be a wound in the NBA until the Sonics are restored. The only redeeming fact for the Sonic wound is that Seattle was able to keep their team's name, something not even Baltimore was able to do.

Don't get me started! Everything about that was bad from stern, Bennett, Howard Schultz, emails, etc... As a season ticket holder for a few years and with no NBA team here for however many it's been it's been brutal as you know (looks like your from here) as a huge basketball fan especially with the huskies being down the last few years as well.

So, let's bring the sonics back, bring back the old logo, court, uni's from 93 and lure Nate McMillan from Indiana to take the job! Question is who to relocate? I almost don't want to relocate the thunder as what a rivalry that could be and they are tainted. Maybe I'll pretend the Kings left or foresee the Bucks potentially leaving? Whatever the case it will be cool to bring back the sonics! And how cool is the changing of divisions option?! I know you could kind of workaround and do this before but want to see how that works too...

I get the bigger picture and I'm sure in 3 years Online My League will be nuts. 3 years is a long time though, especially when we just waited 3 years. This news is fresh, I think people were just expecting something more in terms of a franchise mode. People like myself were really bummed that an online type mode didn't make the cut again. The last time we had a somewhat working online league mode was last gen. Think about that though, in the meantime 2K has introduced the park, my player, my team, my lg, my gm and now even a crew type mode.

So yea in 3 years it will be crazy good, I'm just personally tired of being told to put it in a forum or a wishlist for next year and it not coming thru. The Online league community will find a way to make it work but workarounds shouldn't be necessary.

Big picture is you have to start somewhere, but I feel like we keep restarting.

The only think I'm mad at is looking at the map Saint Louis isn't one of the available cities. Smh.

Yes it is...

As I keep thinking about the MyLeague online without an offseason it's get worst. No players progression or regression so no reason to draft young. No FA, so no reason to draft cheap players because they will never leave. Offline league get gold again and online league get bronze.

I knew something had to give. 2K added too much in one cycle. Hopefully League online will finally be upgraded in 2k17.

Exactly what Im thinking. As an online franchise guy, this news sucks. Im happy for the offline guys but this is awful. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RE IMPLEMENT A MODE YOU JUST DECIDED TO WIPE OUT TWO YEARS AGO?

Can u change the logo withhout relocating???

Re: NBA 2K16 Developer Blog - MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online, MyGM & More

Concerning dornas...can we have ads rotate with different ads?

I'm hoping we can finally have real ads for quick games.

I think we are getting tired of being told to wait til next year. We had a huge thread upset about the status of OL last year. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-bad-ugly.html We had an even bigger thread the year before when the leagues were an absolute joke. Intentional or not, naming the mode online my league has certain expectations that it is somewhat similar to it's counterpart. The ability to add custom draft class, have a normal offseason is a huge part of My League.

I think the OL/OA community has been waiting 3 years to finally play an online franchise type mode. 2K used the word "stability" to describe their efforts last year and what they gave us was a mode where stats nor games registered. I can't believe they used that word again to be honest.

The 2K online league community has some of the most hardcore guys dating back to 2k8. It just sucks to see other games excel in the online league world when 2K used to be at the top.

Most likely this will frustration will wear off and diehard lgs will make it work, but I think we are tired of relying on spreadsheets to maintain a franchise in 2016.

Well said.

I really want to try the player lock feature. Wonder if I can import my created player and play a stripped down version of mycareer.

Re: NBA 2K16 Developer Blog - MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online, MyGM & More

Awesome read! I'm completely sold after seeing the player lock and coachmode/live simcast options. Who needs mycareer when you have that!

Re: NBA 2K16 Developer Blog - MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online, MyGM & More

And do we get to choose what color shirts will be worn for playoff games? I know this is a little specific but I'm just wondering.

The crowd colors are most likely based on the team colors you select when relocating. Think how accessories are tied to the whether you are home or away.

I did something similar to that back in 2k13. I created myself starting at 62 ovr and then signed as an undrafted free agent. Then I'd position lock and turn on coach mode when I subbed out. I really enjoyed it compared to any mycareer experience I've had yet. Ended up playing 15 seasons and winning 2 rings with the Raptors as a point guard.

Now that player lock/coach mode is back I really can't wait for this game. I never did buy 2k14 or 2k15 so this should really be a whole fresh new game for me to dive into!

I cried a little reading this. Everything I've ever dreamed up in an association mode.

I'm definitely going to put a team back in Seattle. I'm fooling around right now just for fun and thinking about 7 new cities. Nashville, Louisville, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Diego, Seattle, and Vegas.

Atlantic: NY Knicks, Washington Wizards, Cleveland Cavs, Philly 76ers, and Boston Celtics.
Central: Indiana, Detroit, Milwakee, Chicago, Minnesota.
Southeast: Miami, ATL, Nashville, St. Louis, Louisville.

Southwest: Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, New Orleans, and OKC.
Northwest: Seattle, Portland, Kansas City, Utah, and Denver.
Pacific: LA Lakers, GS, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and San Diego.

I'm trying to come up with some cool nicknames for the 7 new teams, although I am gonna keep the Kings for KC, and probably the Grizzlies for Nashville. The Supersonics will obviously stay the same as well. Possibilities are endless for this mode to be honest though
