The jerseys are much more of an atrocity.

But after getting the game, it seems they are missing the throwbacks, and that jersey is a Classic Home Jersey rather than the alternate jersey. Which means hopefully if they add the real uniforms they look 1000x better.

What I really want to know is if you can change teams without running a multiple team setup and also if the coach mode bug is still there where you could start a game in simcast and then save it, reload, and be able to enter coach mode.

Can anyone tell me if you can expand anywhere with a team you upload or are their certain cities we can expand to?

Also is there a definitive list of relocation cities yet?

Re: NBA 2K17 MyLEAGUE/MyGM: What's Hot and What's Not

Cities seem to be the same as last year pretty much.

Most on-court rule changes are pretty inconsequential in terms of the cpu adjusting to it, because they don´t. (neither would i expect them to. This is a videogame, not a supercomputer). Neither do sim stats. Approved the league getting rid of the shot clock just for kicks and it did not do anything to simmed stats and in games the other team still seems to have an "internal clock" going.

Other rule changes seem pretty cool, like college style FT rules (1+1 after 5 fouls), change of the number of fouls to reach the "bonus", most of the changes to the lottery the game proposes, like even odds for the 4 worst teams. Also more or less All Stars per conference.

And yes, you can save an reload after the Playoffs to trigger different changes in myleague.

Is that for relocation or both do you think? I am still wondering how expansion is going to work completely.

Also, anyone know if the number of divisions can be changed? I really want to only expand by 2 to start and relocate some teams and go to Eight 4-team divisions

both. Divisions are set, no changing there. You can relocate and realign to your hearts content within the 6 divsions. Other than that it´s pretty straightforward: 8 protected players per team max, 1 needs to be left unprotected (since it happens before the draft a lot of teams don´t have that many under contract), Expansion Team get the 4th (5th, 6th etc) Pick in the upcoming draft.

How the scheduling works is as of yet unclear to me.

Okay thanks, good to know on the divisions. Guess I'll be eliminating some teams or having one conference have 6 teams per divisions for a bit.

Now gotta plan that.

Thanks

Anybody has an idea what the logic in MLO Draft after season is? Made a test this morning.

The Team which won the lottery could draft in Round 1 - ALL others Teams could not draft in Round 1 but the automatically draftet their best keeper players.

Some teams could draft in round 2 - some doesn't - Same in Round 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7

Starting with Round 8 all Teams was able to draft free agents and rookies

Obviously there is some logic behind all - but i do not understand it.

Leftos stated that the game pretty much ranks all the player's into tiers. If the guy you keep is one of the top 30 players in the game come draft time you do not get a first round pick. If you keep a second top 30 player or have a player that's 31-60 then you'll lose your second round pick and so on.

Re: NBA 2K17 MyLEAGUE/MyGM: What's Hot and What's Not

So I'm at the MyGm screen.

If I select 'Current NBA Teams' I know I'll start with the regular 30.

But will 6 expansion teams come later as seasons past?

I like the league expansion, I just don't want to start off with an expansion team. I'd rather have the expansion teams come later.

Re: NBA 2K17 MyLEAGUE/MyGM: What's Hot and What's Not

Also, we really need the NBA.com screen back. The social media stuff is cool but I want an organized clean place to see the happenings around the league.

Adding to that, the halftime show needs more content. Like it was when Damon Bruce did it. It's odd being in MyLeague and not having the halftime guys comment on, or even see, what else is going on around the league. Or to see an individual player spotlighted for his play. I can live without the studio show like College Hoops Tonight, though I want it badly, but give us more with what we have to convey our living NBA world.

What is an MLO draft ?

Expansion in MyLeague and MyGM are slighty different experiences in that you cannot adjust your conferences/divisions in MyGM and are at the mercy of the game handling this.

While the game does an adequate job assigning the new teams regionally, it does not move existing teams around whatsoever to compensate, even in spots where it would make sense. For instance, instead of moving Golden State to the Northwest division, it instead added St. Louis there which doesn't make the most sense.

It's a give and take, but just know that there are a few risks going with MyGM...not to mention, you could get fired from your expansion team!

I added two teams in MyGM, the Hartford Whalers for me to use and created from scratch, and then selected the Vancouver Ravens pre-built team to go in the West. I thought the CPU handled it well. Put my Whalers in the Atlantic, no other adjustments. It then put Vancouver in the Northwest and moved the Thunder to the Southwest.

I only started last night. I spent a total of 6 hours creating and then just getting through the off-season (choose to start prior to the draft). It was frigging glorious.

Free agency turned out mostly like real life, except for two major players. I took a shout at KD, but he instead chose to stay with the Thunder. I tried to get Demar Derozan to sign with my Hartford Whalers and really thought I had a chance after the Raptors signed ....LeBron! But nope, Demar went back to Toronto, the Raptors are stacked.

Signed Dirk to a 2 year deal. So far it seems pretty well done.
