I've come to accept OKC Thunder for what they are. They've been in the league for a certain period of time, it's mentally ingrained in my mind that the Thunders in OKC is simply part of the league regardless of how they were establish.

I don't know the history behind the Grizzlies move from Vancouver to Memphis, probably not as much outrage as when the Sonics were gone (or maybe there was?). But the same with the Grizzlies, I see them as a Memphis team now.

If team expansion were possible, I'd go ahead first to create the Sonics but wouldn't relocate the Thunders. And probably give Vancouver their team back as well but leave the Grizzlies were they are.

Or you can compare their online modes to other games such as Madden and MLB The Show where you can do mulitple years and actually have free agency and drafts and see where they've done a horrible jobs. Please stop speaking on a mode you know nothing about and have no interest in. Last year's online leagues were a complete travesty and for months games wouldn't even register as having been played for months.

The thing is that there is people spending 60 bucks every year for this particular little thing.

They are not doing that because they are crazy, that was something that made a lot of sense for 5-6 solid years of online association.

The fact that they rant a little even in days like today comes from a growing frustration that they have been farming for a long time.

Even if it's difficult to relate with them, and they are in the wrong, it would be unfair to ask so much of them, as it is to ask more from 2k today.

No it doesn't

People who love My League offline after going through years of no real big jump in franchise mode, even with it taking a step back

We have an intelligent poster like Lakers24 who created a Phenomenal thread very intelligent post, with well thought out points, pictures to demonstrate, very organized and easy to understand, that could not be otherwise disagreed with by anyone, and apparently the devs thought it was in line as well.


If someone wants to lie and say they never saw it then here it is. Probably the most liked post in OS history

And guess what, it didn't happen all in year 1 and people still didn't continue to complain and gripe and act like 2k took their grandmother to the woodshed

Forget everything else right? I can't even believe the amount of things here that was in that long post you made, yet thats still not enough, and then throwing shade around as if My League the offline game is not the core of the game, like "yeah im glad for you offliners but this is unacceptable" We just sat back and watched them release a HUGE ONLINE MODE CALLED PRO AM (crew) whatever you want to call it, full customizations, teams staduims uniforms and leagues, because thats what the majority of onliners were complaining about and guess what More onliners complaining again This cycle of ridiculousness never stops with them.

Count all the modes offered and you will have a very diverse group of gamers:
- Sim Heads (Offline)
- Sim Heads/Online Leagues (Online)
- MyPlayer (Online)
- MyPlayer (Offline)
- Park Guys
- Crew Guys
- Casual Gamers
- MyLeague/MyGM (Offline)
- MyTeam

It will be a hard time do develop everything at once and make everyone equally happy. I have empathy with Crew/OL Complaints at some point. 2k is going in the right direction. But they can do anything they want if the online in game experience (input lag), server stability and gameplay it self does not hold up to the standards.

The online community is segregated and large in numbers so there will also be opposing views. Most are made 2k promoted Online assocation as myleague online . This gave the impression that the experiences would be comparable. Sadly what they got for online play is more admin options and a mechanic that makes all leagues private. Even the ability to play multiple seasons is an option and not engraved into the game mode. With missing Free agency and draft options yet again for the 3rd year, its just a carbon copy of 2k15 leagues with (hopefully) working stat tracking and ability to kick / invite people during the season.

We used a done of "paper and pen" work arounds to have something comparable to what we had last generation. People thought it would be right this time and they are disappointed that we have to keep using spreadsheets to makes are leagues work.

Also , the biggest burn from 2k15 is that no players have salaries so we had to use spreadsheets and such to track player movement and create rookies while having an offline NBA draft. On of these two things will have to be done again this year

I wish I could be as excited as most of you guys, because this definitely is great news and a step in the right direction for years to come.

However I was really excited to revive our Online Association from 2k12 and 2k13 but the way it looks now is that the essence of that mode, which is building a team, preparing for the draft, clearing cap space for free agency etc. is not there this year.

If I got it right, it's basically the first season over and over again but with the trades you made during the season, so the first season will end in 2016 and the "second" season will restart in 2015 right? This means no expiring contracts, player progression etc, so taking a mediocre team wouldn't really make sense because the only goal is to win the championship in the first season and how many teams capable are there? And trading up from lottery to contender without any assets is not realistic in one year.

I still believe that it's a step in the right direction for this mode, because everything else is like I was hoping for. The priority should be to build a solid, and especially a working foundation so that hopefully in 2k17 we can have our online association back!
