If someone wants to lie and say they never saw it then here it is. Probably the most liked post in OS history http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ersion-me.html And guess what, it didn't happen all in year 1 and people still didn't continue to complain and gripe and act like 2k took their grandmother to the woodshed

Saw it a while ago but in lights of all these negativity, I just want to point out that posts like this should remind us why sports heads like us come to Operation Sports. I can't praise this website enough for what it has done for the sports gaming community.

The only redeeming fact for the Sonic wound is that Seattle was able to keep their team's name, something not even Baltimore was able to do.

Don't get me started! Everything about that was bad from stern, Bennett, Howard Schultz, emails, etc... As a season ticket holder for a few years and with no NBA team here for however many it's been it's been brutal as you know (looks like your from here) as a huge basketball fan especially with the huskies being down the last few years as well.

So, let's bring the sonics back, bring back the old logo, court, uni's from 93 and lure Nate McMillan from Indiana to take the job! Question is who to relocate? I almost don't want to relocate the thunder as what a rivalry that could be and they are tainted. Maybe I'll pretend the Kings left or foresee the Bucks potentially leaving? Whatever the case it will be cool to bring back the sonics! And how cool is the changing of divisions option?! I know you could kind of workaround and do this before but want to see how that works too...

By this time we all should be able to see if Simballer and his "crew" can deliver on his vision. View it this way: the online community got a complete new internal development schedule and pipeline put into place. This is year one of this implementation. Let's see what happens before going any further.

I get the bigger picture and I'm sure in 3 years Online My League will be nuts. 3 years is a long time though, especially when we just waited 3 years. This news is fresh, I think people were just expecting something more in terms of a franchise mode. People like myself were really bummed that an online type mode didn't make the cut again. The last time we had a somewhat working online league mode was last gen. Think about that though, in the meantime 2K has introduced the park, my player, my team, my lg, my gm and now even a crew type mode.

So yea in 3 years it will be crazy good, I'm just personally tired of being told to put it in a forum or a wishlist for next year and it not coming thru. The Online league community will find a way to make it work but workarounds shouldn't be necessary.

Big picture is you have to start somewhere, but I feel like we keep restarting.

Hopefully League online will finally be upgraded in 2k17.

Exactly what Im thinking. As an online franchise guy, this news sucks. Im happy for the offline guys but this is awful. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RE IMPLEMENT A MODE YOU JUST DECIDED TO WIPE OUT TWO YEARS AGO?

[Goffs]

Concerning dornas...can we have ads rotate with different ads?

I'm hoping we can finally have real ads for quick games.

Intentional or not, naming the mode online my league has certain expectations that it is somewhat similar to it's counterpart. The ability to add custom draft class, have a normal offseason is a huge part of My League. I think the OL/OA community has been waiting 3 years to finally play an online franchise type mode. 2K used the word "stability" to describe their efforts last year and what they gave us was a mode where stats nor games registered. I can't believe they used that word again to be honest. The 2K online league community has some of the most hardcore guys dating back to 2k8. It just sucks to see other games excel in the online league world when 2K used to be at the top. Most likely this will frustration will wear off and diehard lgs will make it work, but I think we are tired of relying on spreadsheets to maintain a franchise in 2016.

Well said.
