This is literally the only news I'm waiting for. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. At a point in my gaming life, that after playing 2k since the original dreamcast iteration, that I can honestly give it up without reservations if 2k doesn't follow through with a multi season myleague online. Never was really a "gamer," rather am strictly a hoop and 2k head exclusively. The days of manually progressing every player through tedious roster edits, and makeshift offseason work-arounds are over for me. Marriage, kids, work, life makes the time commitment to multi-season myleague online a non starter for me.

Patiently waiting to see if Simballer and crew came through with a true Online Association Mode after this epic post below from last year, when he acknowledged the gripes, frustrations, and wishes of the OA community.

Hi folks, In hindsight, I don't think I did a good job of eloquently explaining why MyLEAGUE Online is what it is, and how it came to be in 2K16. About 5 years ago, I made a strong push to management to give me the resources to provide a fully featured online franchise mode, which later came to be known as The Association: Online. Ambitious, and by-and-large, it worked. Sure, there were some quirks or design decisions that people didn't like (e.g. the moving window of advancement). Once that project was complete, my team and I moved on to other areas of the game. Having watched Online Leagues in NBA 2K14 and NBA 2K15 falter (for lack of a better word), I went back to management very early this year and told them I would be taking over the online league experience once again. This wasn't up for debate. To be fair, the people at VC that worked on this mode the last two years did a very admirable job, they just didn't have the experienced resources needed to deliver the proper experience you guys were craving. Those guys were hungry this year to right the ship. I loved seeing it. For NBA 2K16, we combined our resource pools, which gave us the opportunity for me to allocate some of my more specialized and experienced engineers on this project. One such engineer, Brad, spent the majority of his year coming up with a completely new server-based architecture that is the heart and soul of NBA 2K16's MyLEAGUE Online feature. This brings me to my main point for writing this. I've seen a few mentions (and about 12 of the same post from ataman (oh snap!)) and assumptions of this being the same mode as last year with potentially x and y feature added. This really couldn't be further from the truth. This is a completely new experience built with an all-new backend driving it. Gosh knows it won't be 100% perfect (though we certainly hope it is), but you do have my word that we will give you 110% until it is. We'll work through anything that comes up. Heck, Leftos won't sleep until issues are resolved. Brad is the same way. You guys got the 'A' team supporting you at this point; these are some of the brightest guys in the industry. I played last year's Online Leagues pretty heavily. MyLEAGUE Online isn't last year's leagues. It may not have the offseason you covet, but it does contain the features that make MyLEAGUE such a special experience. You will be able to (and I can't believe some of these weren't there last year, sorry): Make Rotational adjustments Implement Gameplans (and everything that comes with that) Utilize custom playbooks Adjust gameplay sliders (at the admin level) Adjust MyLEAGUE-specific sliders like Trade Negotiation Difficulty (at the admin level) Custom Roster support Control everything as an admin (trade approval, force winners, force losers, reset games, etc. etc. etc.) I see people mention things like, "did they fix the bug about being able to rejoin the league once you leave?" To that, I say no. No, we didn't because this an entirely new experience. That bug never existed in this experience. Unfortunately, time IS a factor when you release an annual title. It's not an excuse I use, because it is my problem, not yours. You want (and deserve) the universe. That being said, I'm tremendously proud of the people who managed to create an all-new online league foundation (that will serve us well as new features are added) while simultaneously making what I think is probably the biggest single year jump in our franchise in a long time. Lastly, I truly appreciate the discussion taking place within this thread regarding MyLEAGUE Online. I'm not one to shy away from a solid discussion or get my feelings hurt because someone doesn't like the way something isn't done. While this is business, this is my passion. This is the same for Leftos, Dave Z, Brad, and everyone else that played a major part in these modes. We WANT to hear your thoughts on what we're adding (or not adding if the case may be). At the end of the day, if it's not abundantly clear even after reading the "Little Things" section of my blog post...We've got your best interests at heart. Enjoy the mode(s) this year.

No news yet. But I am pretty sure they at least added a second year. But I have a feeling this year will be the closest it's been since 2K11s online leagues?

You mean 2k12-2k14 leagues which were multiple seasons with offseasons, glitches and all. 2k11 were one-off seasons, although it was the last time we had those dope 2k league websites that allowed league members and admins to track their leagues online.

Prior to the 2k16, this mode was in the wildnerness and damn near put to extinction, so we cannot assume anything. Cautiously optimistic though as the foundation was was laid for multiple season online association in 2k16 with the damn near everything implemented from the offline myleague counterpart, except for the glaring offseason omission.

Hopefully Leftos, Brad, Dave Z, and the almighty simballer are straight up with what is and isn't in myleague online for 2k17 sooner rather than later. Regardless, I will wait for confirmation post release before pulling the trigger; to each his own though.

One season period or just one offseason? I don't remember 2K11 being one season because I didn't do leagues def in 2K12 and the others. But you're probably right because most of the ones didn't finish that I was in once the owner took Ls.

2k11 was one season period. Last gen 2k12 through 14 had multiple seasons if you could avoid the playoff glitches that would cripple any chance of advancing to the next seasons.

This was a post from simballer introducing Online Associations in 2k12.

Maybe it wasn't. Thought it was but I have a feeling all the modes will better this year. Leagues, MyTeam, MyCareer, ProAM and etc. Find it hard to believe they'll leave leagues as is.
