Read this thread last night. Then went and reserved my copy today at Gamestop. So pumped for this thing.

Sent in my pre-order through the PS4 store. Really looking forward to this game.

Im anxious to actually see what this My League Online has in store for the OAL community. Though I've been skeptical for quite sometime and could tell what 2k has in store for the OAL community. I knew it would be to good to be true to have exactly given us what we wanted.
I knew from the article about My league online last month. Something about this mode is going to be left out. 2k doesn't always keep the best of interests to the OAL community.
They half heartedly for quite sometime put emphasis into this mode. Leaving the community to figure out for ourselves to figure out there job and to do the work to keep ourselves satisfied.
Now they fixed the mode. Yes they added fanasty draft. Yes they gave owner and admins full control over mode. Yes they made it where we can have continuous season's. And for that i thank 2k for hearing us......but listening is an important concept. We also said offseason mode. The ability to do rookie draft, player progression free agency. These are also other features in the modes that are exciting. The ability if u have a bad season to build through the draft. The ability to improve your team through free agency. Chase after the stars n role players needed to improve your team. And player progression to watch season after season player's grow. Rookies go from boy's to men. This is what makes OAL community happy and satisfied. My league has what it takes to satisfy our cravings but to put out half the mode is quite frankly disappointing. It's a tease. I thank devs for the hard work, time, and dedication to improve this 2k saga. But to say it was a "decision" made to leave out these other important features is disappointing. Hopefully ya can patch this mode before release date. Or patch it during the 1st month. We would greatly appreciate a whole mode instead of half the mode.

Oh really? It must be a mod I have installed. I'd have to test it out on the 360 version just to make sure, but you're probably right. My bad. Thanks for the correction.

Well anyway, it'd be nice if there was an option like that then (being able to initiate CPU trades) for 2k16.

Haven't bought nba2k in a few years but that will change thanks to the offline my gm news good to see franchise offline stuff isn't dead yet. Great stuff for sure from 2k

# 566 zello144 @ 08/21/15 11:23 PM

In MyGM will we still be able to purchase the team?

This is awesome

But then the team would act insulted or w/e and refuse to do any more trades with you literally for the rest of the season. This is no way mirrors real life and was really frustrating. You should not be shut off from making offers to an opposing team EVER in 2k. In real life a GM would probably never stop listening to offers from a team no matter how ridiculous past offers are. It's bad business. And besides, my proposals in 2k15 were far from absurd. I hope this logic has been changed in '16. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You'd be surprised how an NBA front office works but I want to see what deals were offered here.

These kinds of posts just need to stop. In so many words, you've made it clear that you believe that VC:

1. Doesn't care about the community.

2. Half-assed the mode. Apparently these dudes don't work hard.

3. Doesn't listen to the community. Empty thank you's is not sincere gratitude.

4. Put a full team in a mode and got half of a mode.

5. Owes you something.

6. Isn't full of industry veterans that know what they are doing. If a feature isn't there, there's likely a damned good reason why.

Look, if the handful of you dudes want to piss on this mode, and try to compare it to older versions, just give it a rest. There are important features missing, but there are FAR more features ADDED that have never been in a franchise mode as a whole. If that's not good enough for you, so be it. You've made your point. Don't buy the game. End of story. No one needs to see 20 posts each from the same 6 dudes patting each other on the back with the same crying.

And good luck finding a better alternative.

Im sorry but i think i have to agree with NYk on this one. Since when is it wrong to ask for your moneys worth?I work jus as hard for my 60 bucks + tax + exclusives as VC does to take it.and it all of a sudden becomes wrong because i want the full satisfaction of what im paying for.This is a great basketball game we all know that, im very greatfull and have been a fan since day one.While i dont believe in bashing a product by any means i do beleive in

1)knowing what you are getting before you spend your money and 2)getting the full experience for what you are paying for. its not about feeling entitlement or that you are owed something. I wouldnt want a half done product for full price anymore than you would want a half bittin sandwich for full price from subway.just to have the guy at the register take your
money and tell you to wait till next year lol. Now if its something that they could work on throught the year than cool,becuase i always believed it took more than a year to work on a game anyway. But its not wrong for that man to feel how he feel if he coming out the pocket every year. Maybe thats jus me idk.

# 572 lvnba @ 08/22/15 07:22 AM

It's just not wrong, the devs themselves have asked in this very same post for people in the OL community to keep providing feedback and opinion.

Even though this website doesn't allow profanity, I would not have minded at all if you put a certain strong one between the last two words.

Even if you got banned for it, that would be the biggest "WORTH IT" in the history of this board.

I applaud you, sir.

# 574 Junior Moe @ 08/22/15 09:38 AM

Regarding ads, I wonder if we will be able to edit them for the stock arenas as well. I'd love to put more real life ads in those as well, especially for my favorite TV shows like Walking Dead and Married. It would be pretty cool to be playing in MyLeague and see ads that actually remind me to tune in for stuff. And to advertise new shoes and products.

What an awful post. Clearly they're frustraded that something essential to online leagues was left out that was previously a staple of the game mode. Just because they added new things doesn't make their complaints less legitimate.

That's the equivalent of Wendy's removing the baconator from their menu....bringing it back a year later and adding mushrooms and a pretzel bun, but not bringing back the beef patties. You'll say thank you for adding the mushrooms and the pretzel bun, you feel these new ingredients would have complimented the original burger perfect but you feel robbed because the patties which you felt is essential to the sandwhich is gone.

What else do you want them to compare the mode to than other versions of the same mode?

Did you listen to the Post Game Podcast in another thread?

Leftos said they TRIED to get an offseason working for MyLeague Online, but couldn't iron out all the big problems in the time they had. "Perfect is the enemy of good," he said. Better to wait another year to get it right than have tons of people complaining about including a broken mode.

Also, you're coming across as a really entitled jerk here. If you're so angry, Live's over that way.

I understand that they tried. I didn't say that they didn't. What I'm saying is telling consumers "to go to live" because they're not satisfied with a mode makes no sense. Especially when what they're asking for was available In past versions.

I would actually put some merit into me coming off as entitled, if I actually cared about online association. But I don't. I'm a Myleague offline player so I'm perfectly satisfied. However, I'm not gonna sit around and let you demonize a consumer for giving perfectly logical critizsisms of a product he's gonna buy.

Hopefully League online will finally be upgraded in 2k17.

Just play offline. It's still a great experience and it would have all those features

# 579 ffaacc03 @ 08/22/15 11:21 AM

As usual, we need everything editable, from the oncourt (gameplay) and offcourt (sim stats engine and roster building/trades logic) fronts ... so here is to hope for having each of the new (and past) variables be editable (team stances, team chemestry, coaches grades, owners goals, GM objectives, staff/players motives, etc).

Did you see that write up? You REALLY don't think you would be getting your money's worth with ALL of that? And it wasn't all fluff either. People are getting all caught up on things that aren't there, totally ignoring the INSANE amount that is there. It's like complaining that you didn't get a salad with a 3 pound Kobe steak. It's insane, and frankly quite childish.

First, with the customization options, the "offseason" can essentially be done. Second, I didn't say the complaint wasn't legitimate. It is a legit complaint. But the level of complaining is asinine, which I noted in he post. There are some really disrespectful barbs being thrown here. Third, if you want a to go with your baconator analogy, it's not leaving off beef patties. It's leaving off the bun for even MORE parties and bacon. The beef and bacon are still there.
