So would you rather no online franchise mode at all?

I get what you are saying but considering the amount of stuff 2k has added it was probably just one of those things they didn't have enough time for or just wasn't on their list of priorities. I could see if 2K barely made changes and the online off season was left out but they did adied a ton to these modes. There is only so much that can be done in one year.

Thaaaaaank you. I'm one for new features,but for the online league I would kill for a copy/paste work right now. Rather it be old and a complete feature than a updated and half assed one

I think having the ability to release new custom uniforms for your team would be cool. Say you play on Christmas day and you want a new uniform. You could design a new unifrom that could be used that day and availabe for head to head matches. Some teams dont have many uniforms and being able to release new uniforms would be one of the coolest features to have.

Why give a mode the equivalent name of its fully featured offline version when it pales in comparison? The lack of an offseason alone renders this mode an online league; and far from an "online franchise" as described in the blog. Let's call a spade a spade and leave the misleading marketing wordplay of "myleague online" for the casuals and uninformed who can't discern between the fully featured offline version and the half baked online version. I do respect VC for delivering a mode that will work out of the box while implcitly alluding to the fact that the inclusion of the offseason aspects could glitch or break the mode like they did on last gen OA modes. I am also appreciative of the admin options and league customization options that were omitted up until the 3rd iteration of the series for next gen. With the hype meter fully dialed down after the reveal of this god forsaken mode in comparison to the offline version, it is imperative that the questions posed by Ataman be answered in order to calm the anxieties of an appreciative albeit dissapointed OA nation. If at the bare minimum, a dev can assure us that all of the myleague offline options for team coaching options and roster management are present in the mode, then the confirmed custom roster feature will be the bed rock of hardcore leagues on extending this mode to be a fully featured multi season OA; accounting for manual progressions, regressions, retirements, and draft classes, along with a work around FA system. Frankly, we were able to do this in 15 with custom rosters as workaround, so the admin options, game registration, stat tracking, a functional post season is what VC is essentially assuring the OA community in the is blog for 16. Leftos, Czar, Sim baller, we appreciate your efforts in beginning to throw more resources and attention to this long neglected mode. The community acknowledges that Rome wasn't built in a day but acknowledging basic roster management, coaching options, i.e playbook customization would go a long way in placating the anxieties of this hardcore community who has enjoyed the OL/OA mode dating back to the xbox/ps2 era.

Couldn't say it better.

I hear you and I'm usually not that guy but everything is not as easy as it seems to just put things in like you think. If it was a copy and paste thing don't you think they would have done that? I mean look at that diary and all they did. I look at that and go how did they add all that stuff with the time and limited staff. Look at madden who has 5x as many (guessing) debs working on that game and they couldn't knock out 5 things on that list. I guess I'm just ok with baby steps albeit most of these additions are more than baby steps! Sliders in leagues in itself is big time. Plus let's be honest how many leagues really play a year let alone multiples? I'd say not to many to warrant a lot of Dev time. To each their own...

There were previous 2K games that had an off-season and free agency. I mean, keeping all of that stuff out of a franchise mode defeats the purpose of playing in the same league for multiple seasons. Once again this is BASIC. We're not asking for things that are unconventional. Free agency, and NBA Draft are critical parts of the NBA and that has been removed from online leagues.... when 2K games from LAST GEN had those features.

thats the thing how can you really know though considering they have yet to do it right?? If done exactly as offline, I will bet you more than what they have now with it not a true franchise
