So is Kenny Smith out?

If you add him and Kellogg to the names mentioned that would give us 11. I think I saw in one of the threads yesterday that he was in. I'd like more clarity myself on who's in or out and what exactly their role is.

i hope there is a MYGM/My league deep dive aswell to explain certain things such as the expansion.

If we do an expansion draft, does the entry draft take place right after- with the draft including Simmons and Ingram, or will it be a draft of generated players before the season starts aswell?

CWebb!!!!

They recorded all these court sounds, so they HAVE to have improved the crowd right? Would hate for them to be hiding that for some legacy issue they can't figure out.

Crowd was so bad though. Broken. Can't imagine horn authenticity but still a bad crowd.

Just remember this is the same game that featured "full body scans" last year even thought there was only a true total of 7 body types (which seems to be about the same this year).

No disrespect to 2k, I love the effort they put into the game year in and year out, but sometimes you can't fully buy into everything they say. Everything sounds great on paper but let's see if the execution lives up to expectations.

i hope player ask for appropriate contracts amounts in mygm and my league. That was never fixed last year

For the easier roster editing, I'm thinking that you'll be able to move attributes across the league up and down (ex. +1 on all steal ratings). I really hope that it's not that simple and hope that they give an option to spread or tighten the top and bottom ratings for a single attribute (ex. slide the top steal rating down 5 and move the bottom up 2 and have everything in between auto adjust to keep scale).

Yeah, there's nothing so far on free agency signing logic being at all responsive to positional supply & demand, or player salary demands being hard tied to f(OVR,AGE,POTENTIAL). Players signing for league minimum?

Maybe we'll get a MyGM/MyLeague blog next week that will give more info.

Okay, I must say, some great improvements. I'm thrilled about some of those commentators, especially Webber, Smith & Barry! We do have to take the term commentator in its broadest sense, meaning part of the broadcast.

I'm sure they mean Ernie & Shaq just in the pre, half and post game shows, Aldridge & Burke on the sidelines. I'm guess Harlan is always the main one, Burke sometimes, and partners can be the basketball guys: Greg, Webber, Smith & Barry.

I do hope that it's not always Greg Anthony & Harlan / Burke + 3rd one for support, but it makes sense to have one as the main who spent the most time in the booth recording lines with Harlan. Sounds like Kellogg is officially out!

One major alarm bell: geographic based teams. Does this mean you can only get a certain commentator only in certain arenas?? That in some arenas, of your favorite team god forbid, you will be stuck with the same commentary crew??

Hope that trading is finally like in real life, with pick protections and all!! My GM / My League already sounded great and with being able to start before the off-season is just another great addition!!

Still 3 things I would like to see them add / work on and has been long overdue:
- invite up to 20 guys for training camp, cut to 15 by a certain date since pre-season is also in the game. This would make it complete.
- full coaching staff and not just one assistant.
- full classic teams/ ability to edit generics + update their faces

Can you please provide more information on contraction. What happens to the players on contracted teams? Do they become free agents or do they disappear?

They didn't elaborate, and there really wasn't much time for questions during the presentation. They just said that it was all adjustable/customizable (paraphrasing) by the user.

The changes to sound seem great but disappointed there is nothing about the crowd. That was one of the biggest non-gameplay related issues with last year's game.

Authentic crowd noise (I'm 99% sure) was part of the audio to be included. This includes ambient noise around the stadium from what I recall.

Not to be a jerk, but. . .



The word is "tenets." There's no one paying rent here.

Thank you for this. I want to make it as clean as possible, but dang, admittedly this was a rushed piece to get it up for you all. We'll edit it now.

Question for you: How many expansion team uniforms are we granted? Are they going to hold us to just two (like they did for relocated teams last year)?

If they didn't explicitly talk about it, I'll take a gut feeling if you got one.

Much thanks and kick*ss piece of work, that was the kind of info dump I was looking for.

Is there any additional classic teams this year? ('01 bucks)
