NBA 2K17 Features League Expansion For MyGM & MyLEAGUE Modes

[Barncore]

I hope they didn't put too much time into this. There are other more important fundamental things that require attention when it comes to MyGM and MyLEAGUE

Whaaaaaat? I agree there are things that could be improved but it's a fantastic addition. I hope they put a lot of time into it so it succeeds. I don't want a half-done feature.

I just realized that if we can indeed rebrand/edit all teams in our ML then this will allow us to update and change the ad boards and stuff for every team. Now we can have Pepsi or Sprite or Foot Locker or whatever. There will be a Walking Dead ad in every arena come 2k17!

Also, we can now accurately create MSG and TD. Should add a lot for authentic nuts and Knick/Celtics fans.

Will I be able slowly add expansion teams to my league?

I hope to God teams weigh different factors when deciding on who to protect. Age, potential, contract, OVR, and scheme fit should all be factors. I don't want to see a top 5 pick left unprotected a year later, for instance.

I can see where Barnsey is coming from. Don't get me wrong, I love the feature. There are just so many little things fundamentally wrong with mygm/myleague that also extend to mycareer. Tendencies, created draft classes, free agent logic and stats (to name a few) still need work. Not to mention D-league and foreign leagues missing (just ask Tyler Johnson and Hassan Whiteside how important those are). Now contrast that with the fact there have only been 3 expansion teams in the past 21 years. Expansion teams are a somewhat rare occurrence.

Again, I really love the feature and it's a nice addition to have. I truly hope that it is, like you said, fully and properly implemented. I just believe that there are more pertinent issues and that I hope implementing expansion teams did not leave those issues unresolved. Time will tell though.

Yeah I played the heck out of Madden 2002 because of that.

Great Call. Can call a team from South Carolina the Pelicans or a team from Daytona Beach. I'm planning on giving Vancouver and Seattle teams, Myrtle Beach a team, Nashville, Lexington, and West Virginia a team. Names for a West Virginia team?
