In fact you have an obligation to make sure that mode returns to the quality it once was. If it wasn't for the crew guys constantly complaining they would have never gotten an improved version in 2k16. 23 also tried to demonize that vocal minority as well. So keep voicing your concerns, so hopefully in 2k17 you guys recive the real online association you've been asking for. Today I'm Extremly satisfied, but that doesn't mean that you need to be. I'm mostly an offline association player, so I got what I wanted. Keep fighting the good fight

Lol at being demonized for criticizing 2K.

My big question is this - can you edit/alter/customize jerseys for established teams? Or only for teams that are relocated? One of my gripes in terms of the immersion of a lengthy MyLeague campaign is that, 5, 10, or even 20 years into it, teams still have the same jerseys. I don't want to have to move my team constantly just to be able to update their jersey.

Yes you can rebrand your team...for the umpteenthmillion time.

One love. Mad love to the forum that OS gives both the offline and online heads for feedback and constructive criticism for the most talented, ambitious, and forward thinking dev team in the business, VISUAL CONCEPTS!

Knowing what we know with regard to the aforementioned functionality and admin customization; if we can get 2k16 myleague online confirmation for the roster management (lineups, rotations, etc) and coaching gameplans (Playbooks, Practice, POEs, etc) then we will be in business and the rhetoric will subside; because let's face it, the custom roster feature will allow us OA fanatics to replicate a viable offseason manually. If this mode is in any way deserving of its offline equivalents namesake then the coaching and gameplan options are a must.

Secondly 2k never eliminated the idea, and if you've been here on this site long enough you'd know that but obviously you're too busy standing too high on a wobbly soap box to know Third they are just complaining and just like people who care about whats actually implemented, people don't wade through a bunch of complaining because you think thats speaking up. What Lakers24 did was speaking up, and that's why I brought it up in the first place. What he did is a shining example of how to be heard but i've yet to see a thread that well organized and thought out to present a case. Still waiting on it too. If the execs asked you why should they spend extra money and resources on this in a meeting and all you did was complain, they wouldn't ever invite you back again.

That's nice. No one ever said that they didn't have legitimate reasons for eliminating the mode. You're making a point that has no relevance and comes dangerously close to a straw man.

Two I never stated that 2k eliminated the idea, I stated that the game mode didn't exist in the game. Again your point had nothing to do with anything I stated. I've been lerking this site for years and I know more than enough. But by all means act like I haven't been reading this forum for long enough.

I agree that what Lakes24 did was standing up. I read through that whole thread. However, I also feel what the poster in this thread communicated was standing up. Clearly he's still in the initial anger phase, so it's unrealistic to expect his post to be as in depth or cohesive as Lakers24. However, everything he states about online association is accurate, and legitimate. If you can't put aside his anger to realize his central argument, then that's your issue.

And your last statements again is pointless.

Just cause you're a mod, doesn't mean you can make pointless arguments, and actually expect people to respect it

Read through 10 pages and didn't find an answer. I didn't have the time to sift through 36 pages and it wasn't in the OP. Thanks for the answer though.

I know where I am and I know what time of year it is....but man, I did not expect this thread with all this great information in it to turn into this....

The devs are probably like

I don't see what all the excitement is about, 2k can do all this but can't get a chipped tooth right, that **** still funny to me lol...was reading this lovely blog and came to mind that was an actual complaint.

2k is the gift that keeps on giving for me, anything they can do to make this series better I'm all for. I am mostly a Myplayer guy hardly play much online but some of the online modes have me wanting to try it big time and that's what it should be about. Any mode that's getting complaints or not being played as much do something to make it better so more people will try it and buy the game.

I'm sitting here excited and looking forward to Myleague/MyGm, My Player and Pro-Am modes and I can't remember the last time that happened for me.
I can also see the Myleague Online is going to be the new "C" word around here for a bit. 2k damn nice job and thanks for all the work and listening to your fan base.

Anyhow..

The two things that I really loved today

Staff Hiring Internally, we refer to this time period as the Staff Carousel. Why is that? We’ve completely overhauled how Staff Hiring works. The end result is a feature that is endlessly more compelling than what we offered previously. It is no longer a ‘fill open slots and press start to advance’ type of experience. This time period now lasts 7 days, and features a full promotion system. You now have the ability to hire staff away from other teams, or promote from within your own. If you think Nate McMillian is doing a solid job as the assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers, you can approach the Pacers and ask for permission to speak to him, to see if he wants to take a promotion and become your head coach

Customizable Progression/Regression – Every player in the league now has a unique editable entry called ‘Peak Start’ and ‘Peak End’. ‘Peak Start’ is the age at which players have developed as much as they can, and will not see additional ratings increases outside of training. ‘Peak End’ is the age at which players will start their inevitable ratings decline. This is all in your control now!

This is gonna be amazing
