WOW! I came for park news but I'm in awe over the customizable rules+ custom teams + team sharing which equals NCAA2K17.

[stillfeelme]

Leftos or any other Dev

1. For MLO does the rest of the league get notifications of changes made by the admin?
2. Can any owner edit appearances of the player (kicks, accessories but the admin is the only one that can edit ratings?

We had a lot of work to do this year, and reading back through Erick's blog gives me chills. So many things we worked on months and months ago I had forgotten we had even put into the game. We love MyLEAGUE Online, we absolutely do, which is why we didn't start with Online Association as a base last year. We wanted something awesome and stable. And this year we wanted to bring in a lot of features from the offline experience that were missing, and we absolutely had to add multi-year progression. However, when it came down to the nitty-gritty, full CBA/contract/money support would be too much work for this year. There's a lot of aspects to it, from deferred negotiation responses during the season, to all the admin tools we'd need to add to make sure the league doesn't get stuck because a user won't make a decision, to all the offseason time periods... Now, I'm not allowed to make any promises, nor do I want to, but I just want to make it clear that when we want to get there. When that will happen, I don't know. But I know that everyone on the team wanted to get there, but for this year, we figured out something that would take a realistic amount of time to implement and that would be fun. One aspect missing from Erick's blog is how your keepers/protected players affect your draft presence. There's two different settings on how that works: Bottom of Draft: All your protected players occupy the bottom picks of the draft. Overall Ranking Buckets: Your protected players occupy picks in the draft based on their overall ranking. Any top 30 player is a guaranteed 1st round pick lost. A second top 30 player protected would make you lose your 2nd round pick. A player ranked between 91-120 would be a 4th round pick lost, and so on. So there's a game there in researching who's available in the draft and deciding which rounds you're willing to give up on to protect the players that are most important to you. Our initial default was "Bottom of Draft", but we changed it to "Overall Ranking Buckets" after our very first playtest, since it made things way more intriguing and forced you to strategize. We sincerely hope you enjoy MyLEAGUE Online as much as we did playtesting it. And if you know the team Erick B./SimBaller assembled late in the 2K14 cycle and have been paying attention to how much MyLEAGUE and MyGM have grown since 2K15 onwards, you know we're nowhere near done.

I'm not sure how to start and I'll try to reply as politely as possible, because this is taking a very frustating route on behalf of all the real Sim Ballers out here.

You said there is no Time where the Team had 4 years now to give us a working Free Agency. After 2k13 you shut the mode down - which was the right move imo because Online Association in 2k12 was far away from a solid working mode. Yall brought it back as Leagues where you could do a single season and after that kept it that way for 2 more years.

Last year you told us you wanted to stabilize the mode, but hadn't had time to implement offseason, which was okay, because yall said it would be back this year and we all listend. But NOPE, instead of removing the mode for a couple of years and giving us a FULL ONLINE FRANCHISE MODE, the Team is working around the Free Agency and is giving us a Fantasy Mode. How could yall think "Keepers" would be a solid option to avoid Free Agency? This makes the mode totally irrelevant for all the real League players.

Im 100% sure, im not going to enjoy it, because it's not what it should be. If I want to play Fantasy Basketball, I do that in Fantasy Draft.

Please if you can't promise us when it's going to be what it should be, cut it out and give us a full functional ONLINE ASSOCIATION in 2 or even 3 years from now.

Don't want to sound rude or anything like that but im very disappointed..

Last question I can think of

1. Is future picks owed to certain teams included in MLO? Ex. Sixers get Lakers pick if it is not in the top 3

I actually need clarity on this.

"Draft Classes can now be imported and edited at ANY point (read: editing can happen AFTER importing while the season is ongoing)."

Does that mean BOTH importing and editing can happen while the season is ongoing or just editing (after the preseason import)?

The roster/draft class editing stuff sounds great too, especially as someone who spends too much time editing his classes.

@Leftos, could you explain a little more on the roster edit mode? Does it basically make the roster page/ratings into a spreadsheet that you navigate cell by cell? And does it allow any global edits?
