Very good start so far. Looking forward to this and seeing what else they have up their sleeves. Start Today and Playoffs mode being back is fantastic as well, been gone too long.

I'm just glad we finally get Start Today back. Finally have a franchise mode that reflects the real league

The Seattle Supersonics and Vancouver Grizzlies are back!

I would like to know this too. From what i understand, since we can add 6 expansions teams, we should be able to at least re-brand 6 teams!

I hope we can re-brand the entire league, it would be my dream come true. I would go Crazy in Retro Roster Season Mode!

Also, can we make a season with actually LESS teams? Like 28, 27...?

I'm not a franchise mode player, but I'm excited for you guys. Could you explain what "Start Today" does for the mode?

Every possible configuration you could want is now at your fingertips. And I have more features to make the expansion process even easier for you. If creating all of the art assets for the team logo, arena, and uniforms is more than you can handle, I have two alternatives for you. First, we have 10 pre-built fictional franchises (complete with full audio and commentary support) built right in to the game. Pick your favorite one and off you go. Alternatively, you can now download complete team designs from the community in NBA 2K17. For example, if you know that you want your expansion team to be a Seattle Supersonics franchise, you can search through community uploaded team designs and instantly download one right into your new MyGM/MyLEAGUE. It couldn’t be simpler.

WHOA. Game-changer. I didn't expect this for 2K17, not at all. I honestly thought this was a 2K18 item.

With the ability to expand the league to 36 (a perfect number by the way, as there are six divisions in the NBA so 1 expansion team to each division) and to create the team from the ground up, including all its assets, this adds an insane level of depth to MyLeague.

In theory, if I'm reading this right, you could relocate the entire league to entirely different cities ON TOP of the six expansion teams -- at least for PC anyway as those players could relocate as many current teams as they wanted, hopefully those restrictions were lifted for console players.

This is HUGE for MyLeague/Association/Franchise players like myself. I wasn't going to seriously consider a 2K17 buy ... but this changes things.
