NBA 2K17 MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online & MyGM Blog With Erick Boenisch

I wonder if the Rivalry feature extends to other modes (quick play, online, playoff mode, my career, etc). It would be cool if playing a match up such as GS vs Cleveland or GS vs OKC resulted in an amped up atmosphere whether a quick play game, online game, my career, my league, etc.

All sounds great except for MLO. That's really disappointing. So how are keeper years distributed? Is it based off real contract years? Or does every player get 5? That would mean having a fantasy draft every 5 years and no reason to ever take a rookie and develop them during those years. Definitely need some more details on this.

Initial and Offseason Draft keeper years are admin settings [Random, 2 Years, 3 Years]. Like the blog says, Rookies get a variable number of extra keeper years [0-25, although the 25 seems like a typo now that I look at it, heh!) over normal players that can act as motivation to draft rookies and develop them rather than worry about losing them right as they're reaching their peak.

The rivalry feature was developed by the Features team in coordination with the Presentation team and has been added into the core of the game, so it's mode independent. We have a 30v30 table of rivalry scores for quick game that we can update throughout the year, and modes that are based on the franchise backend (MyLEAGUE/MyGM/MyCAREER and derivatives such as Playoff mode) will trigger the 20+ events that affect rivalry scores dynamically.

well good thing i do not play online that free agent draft thing sounds like a bummer for you guys, but once again 2k does a great job building the franchise mode to be the best in sports gaming, really hope they omprove the CAP next year.

The Advanced Rotations feature has been added to the Gameplan feature in Franchise, which means you can setup advanced rotations against any opponent.

That said, both Advanced Rotations and Roster Quick Edit were features that were very mind-stretching and took a lot of iterations to get the interface to where we wanted it, so please, share as much feedback as possible on how we can make those easier to use and/or better.

I actually think that MLO free agency seems pretty cool. It'll come down to "Do I was 33 year old Westbrook on the decline who is still an 84, or should I take this 21 year old rook who could become an 84... or possibly not improve much at all"

Re: NBA 2K17 MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online & MyGM Blog With Erick Boenisch

Leftos can you shed any information on MyGM as far as player/GM interactions and how touchy morale was where players would want minutes and a better role when they didn't earn it or deserve it yet. And then when you would tell them that, they'd get upset and morale would drop. Sometimes they would want to be traded after that.

Do you have any extreme examples to share? Players, just like in real life, have different personalities and expectations, independent of whether they actually deserve it. It's a matter of player ego and other personality factors. Our conversations branch based on that related to the player's playing time and rotational position, so all other things being equal, players will have different expectations as to their playing time, their role, the training intensity, and so on.

Also, like we've said, there's players that respond well to tough love, and others that need to be coddled. If you know their personalities, you can reject their requests and make them respect your decision, rather than have them mouth off to the press about how they don't want to be on your team anymore.

Leftos, if you're playing a 30 team MyLeague offline does the CPU now turn down trades or do you have to decide if it's fair yourself?

This was a GREAT read. Really excited to get my hands on 2K17. I noticed injuries were mentioned in the MyLeague Online portion but I was wondering have injuries returned all around? In-game injuries not just injuries that occur during simulation. I hated having healthy players all season long in MyGM/MyLeague while the CPU constantly had to deal with injuries.

I'm ridiculously excited for MyLeague especially with the new all time stat tracking. It gives incentives to playing longer.

Mylg online edit player feature? Is this dynamic rosters? Or does that mean the an admin has to edit players 1 at a time to update rosters?

Thanks for answering questions leftos.

Re: NBA 2K17 MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online & MyGM Blog With Erick Boenisch

Leftos, thanks for the clarification on the MLO stuff. Also, kick*ss job by you and the devs this year -- you guys really brought the bar up (way up) from 2K16 and I didn't expect this big a leap in one year; I thought 2K18 would have had a majority of the features laid out already.

While you're here, can you shed some light on how many uniform slots expansion/relocated teams get this year? Are we limited to just two and, if we are, will the team scheme uploads/downloads be a way we can quickly swap out uniforms only without changing the rest of our brand?

Re: NBA 2K17 MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online & MyGM Blog With Erick Boenisch

LEFTOS! can you answer a question ive asked a few times but has been overlooked in all the hype lol

1) How does the expansion work? Expansion Draft, Entry Draft, Season Starts? or Just an expansion draft?

2) will we see in game injuries this year? last year it was almost absent

3) For MyGm, can we still edit draft classes etc, or are some things only for myleague?

Leftos, thanks for your explanation about MLO, it is tremendously appreciated.

Will advanced rotations be part of the MLO game plan?
