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

Just have to give a round of applause to 2K, this sounds great. The only issue now is servers and servers only.

Hmmmm that simcast picture had the same scoreboard 2K15 had. I'm holding out hope that they just had it in so they didn't drop a "hidden bomb" for a possible TNT license. I just with they would make a scoreboard that actually looks like one you'd see on an actual broadcast.

his complaints may have been a bit too much, but the general point is ok.
b2topic i think 2k knows what they have to do in the future. the direction is right. they have set the bar high.
when you compare it with other sports games, they are doing a great job.
look at fifa/pes. there is no chance to play a franchise mode let alone league with you friends online.

Agreed. The ability to bring back the NJ Nets is an option for sure I bet.

The phrase " Online Myleague" is false advertising. We want online association like we had in last gen 2k games. Sucks that this is to hard to add to the game. Better luck for 2k17

So many tidbits of awesome myLeague news. Mostly TEAM RELOCATION. THE SEATTLE SUPERSONICS ARE BACK BABY.
and if Newark or another NJ city is in the game the NJ Nets shall be back!

Not to mention the amount of hype I have for other teams actually having an identity, PROGRESSION/REGRESSION SLIDERS, Summer Leagues, and even MORE control over things in myLeague. Its glorious.

I love the new layout too.

I'm glad there are gamer that are only satisfied with only having the world and not the universe. 2k is likely "done" with the game. Posting only praise for the developers gives them a good feeling for a moment. Posting concerns allows them to possibly jot down notes to improve the series in the future, maybe.

And what's going to happen IF 2k announces team relocation to smaller cities and team expansion for NBA2k(future installment) because either they had it on the whiteboard for consideration OR decides to put it on the whiteboard now because they read that this is something people could be interested in, in threads like these?

I may have thrown out extreme examples of small time cities, but it's the idea of allowing small time cities to have an NBA franchise. Having an NBA franchise could boost the surrounding population and other factors within said town/city and surrounding areas.

Your existing town may not support a real life NBA franchise now or never, but IF your town starts growing in the future, give gamers the power to get an NBA franchise virtually in your town.

How in depth are they actually going into the different available cities? If it's numbers, population, gender demographics, financial estimates, aren't these easily searchable via google or yahoo searches? I just ran a search on Concord and Contra Costa county. Concord approximately #120,000 population with an average income of about $80,000 and Contra Costa County approximately #1,000,000. Yes, it's an estimate and I know you would also have to break down the population into young young children/babies (can't afford to buy an NBA ticket, etc), woman, men, the elderly.

Surrounding citizens traveling miles upon miles to the arena could also help support an NBA franchise in the small town.

When I first heard about team relocation (a month or whatever ago? along with their Pro-Am mode, customization feature, etc.), maybe I read wrong or overlooked the details, but I simply questioned how extensive these new features/modes were going to be. I didn't think there were restrictions.

Again, just hoping that 2k tackled all potential possibilities when they created these modes/features.

Anyways, here's just hoping small cities and team expansions happen whether it be in NBA2k16 or future installments (if they are not available in NBA2k16). Let's not limit the game. Let's strive for improvement however small or large it may be.

I mean look at that diary and all they did. I look at that and go how did they add all that stuff with the time and limited staff. Look at madden who has 5x as many (guessing) debs working on that game and they couldn't knock out 5 things on that list. I guess I'm just ok with baby steps albeit most of these additions are more than baby steps! Sliders in leagues in itself is big time. Plus let's be honest how many leagues really play a year let alone multiples? I'd say not to many to warrant a lot of Dev time. To each their own...

Most will never understand how much coding etc. it takes to do half of the things they do so it's pointless trying to get people to understand. I get their frustration as I'm a gamer too, but it's hard for people to understand why it may be harder than they realize to do something "small" like being able to choose jerseys in MYCareer. The man hours and lines of code needed for"small" things would make most of our brains pop.
