Please skip this particular post if you don't want to read "concern" about this extraordinary and absolutely welcome reveal.



Haven't read everything, but coming across the following two features have me questioning whether team 2k could have gone further.

Quote:

City Selection The first step in any Team Relocation is deciding where you want to move the franchise to. This is a big decision. We have created complete metro profiles for most of the big North American cities.

The question is can a certain team be relocated to absolutely ANY city in the United States or are we restricted to select cities dictated by 2k? If the gamer wanted to move a team to Bakersfield, or Walnut Creek, or Concord, or Daly City, or Redwood City, or Alameda California is that possible?

Quote:

Team Relocation in MyLEAGUE As you all know, MyLEAGUE is our ‘sandbox’ franchise mode, where anything goes. In this experience, you will be able to rebrand and relocate teams without the requirement of going through the application, voting, and approval process. If you want to move the Thunder to Seattle, you can do that right away. Go ahead, no one is going to stop you!

But what if I wanted to keep the Thunder and the rest of the league as is, AND want to reintroduce the Seattle Supersonics into the league? Each and every single time I read the word "relocation," all I can think about is "we need team expansion AND team relocation."

Having been born and bread in the Bay Area, I adopted the Golden State Warriors as my team. But a second team in Seattle with Gary Payton, Detlef Schrempf, Sam Perkins, and the absolutely beast of the monster dunker Shawn Kemp was ridiculously fun to watch whenever I got the chance, however seldom that may be. I can't help but feel for the basketball fans of Seattle.

Having said that, I also can't help but feel for the city of Oklahoma. The Thunders have established themselves as a force in the NBA with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. I can't imagine the league without the Thunders. How am I going to rip the hearts out from the fans of OKC and relocate the Thunders to Seattle? Sure, some owner did it to Seattle years ago, but we don't need a repeat scenario especially not when the Thunders are a force in the league.

Why didn't someone in the offices of 2K strongly push for BOTH team expansion AND team relocation? What they have seemingly done is "half-butt" this feature so to speak, albeit an extraordinary feature.

Unfortunately, I don't see myself using the "team relocation" feature. I simply don't have the heart to crush the hearts of current establish team fanbase. Had a "team expansion" feature been implemented, you would be damn sure the Seattle Supersonics would be ADDED to the existing league leaving the Thunders intact exactly where they belong -- in OKC.

Can you really do that?

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Just finished reading... my brain feels like mush.

Can't freaking wait for this game; I have a strong feeling that I will be much more into it this year.
