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

Love what j been reading, only things missing for me is DLeagues and the option to unretire jerseys.

Also question for leftos, do i assume correctly that we can now just control 1 team in myleague and switch to a different team without having to control them all ? If so then awesome and just what i was hoping for.

I realized in the Prelude when you win the championship your team calmly walks off the court, im assuming this doesnt happen in MyGm/MyLeague

Also- With your expansion team, is there dynamic attendance etc, or is it normally 100% everygame for all teams

- No manual jersey retirements or unretirements, but we can keep that in mind for the future.
- No idea if the classic team filters have returned, but I don't believe so.
- No amnesties or stretch provisions.
- I can talk to the engineer responsible regarding the simulator using up timeouts too early.

Yes, the number of teams and which teams you control in MyLEAGUE is customizable at any time.

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..

I couldn't have said this any better or shorter! The fact that we have crossed to next generation and this mode is still not even comparable to Xbox 360 is the sole indictment on the people dedicated to this mode!! You can keep saying we didn't have time due to last years title but you must face the fact that the true simulation portion of your fan base has been waiting since 2012 for you guys at 2k to add a true simulation style version of the game to the online community! We have watched every mode grow year to year to become great yet you guys have the nerve to tell us that taking subpar to mediocre is something we have to be thankful for? This is sheer arrogance and it's sad because It feels like revisionist history and realigning the facts to fit their narrative of " we've been working on it"! So sad that they continue to be blind and cocky!

Translation: The Thunder own the Sonics' history even more in the game than they do in real life.

Conversely, can you un-retire a jersey? - Lastly, I was wondering if SimCast has been tweaked in anyway? My main issue in the last two version's of SimCast was there were too many early Timeouts called, so if I were to intervene at the start of the 4th quarter I would only have one or two timeouts. Everything reallly sounds amazing. I'm really going to struggle with coming up with more than a few things to add to my 2k18 wishlist this year. *cough d-league or expanded roster *cough

Was wondering ssme thing, would be cool if we could retire jerseys, for example a player signs back with my team for one final year and i wamt to retire his jersey for all the years he given to the team in earlier years but he been on a different team for a couple years, i still like to be able to retire his jersey. Also unretirjng jerseys i been asking and hoping for for years and years.
