NBA 2K17 Features League Expansion For MyGM & MyLEAGUE Modes

[CaseIH]

This sounds great an all if it works properly, and going by this groups track record its hard to get to pump up, knowing thats a big if.


I do like the idea, and glad they are putting forth effort on the Association modes, instead of always kissing the rear ends of the online while us Association guys who helped get this game to where its at now by buying it years ago religiously.

Still my main thing is lets get simulated stats right guys, it ruins MY league when stats just arent realistic. I do think you made strides last year to improve on that, and the past 2 yrs you guys have stepped up and made a very good game, so lets get the stats for teams and players in Assocation modes right, and hopefully with the strides made by you guys we get it finally right this year.

Also while expansion sounds great, have to say Im going to be disappointed if D League isnt back finally. I enjoy messing around and playing games with the Euro's but you dont keep then up to date or rate them right in attributes but mainly tendencies is where you really have them screwed up. Plus rosters dont get updated, and there is mistakes having players hgt and weight way off. For example Keith Lankford is around 6'4 you have him 7'1, and D'or fishcer you have him I think at 6'1 and he is about 7ft, and of course their weight was way off too.

Typically this time of year I dont get to excited for NBA2k, because of playing MLBTS, but I didnt get The Show this year, just didnt feel they did enough to justify it, and with money being tight, I told my wife if I got to pick only 1 Im going with NBA2k17, which is a 1st, as Ive never felt the team at 2k deserved it over The Show team of guys, but NBA2k16 was a big step imo, and if the things I mentioned get fixed and done for 17, then I will be happy as a pig in a mud hole

I don't share your pessimism CaseIH but I do clearly understand where it comes from. People who look at the little things with the MY modes definitely see the main issues are not in features but in the coding behind some of the more database aspects of 2K.

Things like euroleague teams being completely ignored to the point where an entire year passes and the 210 or so Euroleague players not having simple things like proper height and close to proper attributes. Leo Westermann for example is a 6'5 3 point shooter from France. If you've never watched a game a simple google search and a look at his career stats would tell you that much. 2K had him at 6'3 with no shot for much of the season (he might still be but i haven't played in a few months so I don't know).

If Rookies are still coming in with f'd up attributes that don't match their position isn't fixed any MyGM/MyLeague/MyPlayer feature add on is for nought. A 1st round pick 5'11 point guard in a draft class with 60 speed and quickness is unacceptable.

So I believe 2K will get it right but I understand why you can be cautious about that idea.

Hope you can pick rivalries for the expansion teams. Portland and OKC for Seattle. Memphis and Toronto for Vancouver but what do you make the team there is already the Grizzlies. What would be a good name for Utah because I have never felt Jazz works for them but works perfectly for New Orleans

I would love to re live a 90s nba season. Definitely an early 90s season.

A few years ago, someone on Yahoo proposed a three-way trade of team nicknames. Then real-life name changes screwed it all up.

New Orleans Jazz
Charlotte Hornets
Utah Bobcats

I mainly play Mycareer, but all this new MyGM/MyLeague features look INSANE! I'm sure tons of Youtubers will take advantadge of this and will make some great series, and I usually like those.

Yeah, they really need to step their game up with the Euro's. Some of these players are all screwed up. Crazy thing is that guys like Keith Langford were fine in 2k14 and 2k15. I'm hoping that with the apparent inclusion of the Olympic teams that Euroball has gotten a lift altogether. Plus, the Turkish Airlines Euroleague is only gonna have 16 teams this year. Hopefully the combination of the Olympics and there being 9, I think, fewer teams leads to more effort being put into it. 2K's effort since 14 hasn't been great. That's understandable to a degree, this is an NBA game. But we're long enough into this thing now to where we should demand more from them on this front.

Hey Steve_OS, don't want to sound impatient, but do you have any idea when the Q&A will be released?
