This sounds great an all if it works properly, and going by this groups track record its hard to get to pump up, knowing thats a big if.
I do like the idea, and glad they are putting forth effort on the Association modes, instead of always kissing the rear ends of the online while us Association guys who helped get this game to where its at now by buying it years ago religiously.
Still my main thing is lets get simulated stats right guys, it ruins MY league when stats just arent realistic. I do think you made strides last year to improve on that, and the past 2 yrs you guys have stepped up and made a very good game, so lets get the stats for teams and players in Assocation modes right, and hopefully with the strides made by you guys we get it finally right this year.
Also while expansion sounds great, have to say Im going to be disappointed if D League isnt back finally. I enjoy messing around and playing games with the Euro's but you dont keep then up to date or rate them right in attributes but mainly tendencies is where you really have them screwed up. Plus rosters dont get updated, and there is mistakes having players hgt and weight way off. For example Keith Lankford is around 6'4 you have him 7'1, and D'or fishcer you have him I think at 6'1 and he is about 7ft, and of course their weight was way off too.
Typically this time of year I dont get to excited for NBA2k, because of playing MLBTS, but I didnt get The Show this year, just didnt feel they did enough to justify it, and with money being tight, I told my wife if I got to pick only 1 Im going with NBA2k17, which is a 1st, as Ive never felt the team at 2k deserved it over The Show team of guys, but NBA2k16 was a big step imo, and if the things I mentioned get fixed and done for 17, then I will be happy as a pig in a mud hole
