NBA 2K17 MyLEAGUE, MyLEAGUE Online & MyGM Blog With Erick Boenisch

More quickfire answers:
- We spent time tuning FA, especially given the new salary cap, to make sure players would ask for realistic amounts, and we're happy with what you'll see with the Day 1 patch, but keep the feedback coming.
- I believe Staff Editing has had more features added to it this year, but I can't remember off the top of my head what those are. If you see any staff parameters that aren't editable that you'd like to see editable in 2K18, let me know.

The answer is the MyGM engine needs to be fed data from the very start of the season, and we can't just drop you in on February 3rd and have it work. If there's a huge want for it, we can evaluate that in the future, but we wanted to bring it back bigger and better than ever, and we took extra care of making sure as many systems as possible work exactly as if you had played MyLEAGUE up to that point, as well as allowing you to start in the start of the next offseason when we hit the summer of 2017. Some other quickfire answers: - Only 2 jerseys per custom team. - There's an expansion flow where teams get to protect players before the expansion draft. You can start with an expansion team both when using "start in regular season" and "start from previous offseason". You can start with 1-6 expansion teams to boot. The league and all the franchise features have been adjusted to work with any number of teams between 30 and 36.

Quick follow up on expansion, do you HAVE to have a draft? As in, could I expand using one of the legends teams and just use their roster?

That's a bummer. I suppose with the team-schemes being downloadable and up-loadable we can switch as often as we want, but the lack of any sort of alternate jersey is disappointing.

Alas, such is life. Thanks for the answer. Going to have to aim for some surefire-classic jerseys when making them.

I believe you can use customize league to add more teams that aren't necessarily expansion teams (and mix and match with expansion teams), so no, you can have more than 30 teams without an expansion draft.

Also. If we control every team in the league. Do we still do the voting for new rules. Would love to change the way postseason is.

Please please please say we can vote for top 16 teams overall make playoff spot and not just top 8 from each conference.

Thanks for everything. This game looks amazing.

That honestly is fantastic news to me! Saves me a lot of time where I can create the rosters I want out of MyLeague and then just re-brand those teams.

Thanks so much!
