	For anyone who has read my blogs in the past, you know that I am serious about MyGM and MyLEAGUE. I'm blessed to work with a core group of people who share the exact same level of passion. We've done a LOT of work to these modes this year, and one feature I can't stop talking about is...League Expansion. This is entirely new to NBA 2K17, and is the feature I want to tell you about today.

Could you imagine with this edit league style coming in if abolishing conferences was possible, I hate it when a 36 win team makes it in but a 45 win team doesn't. And the finals would truly be the best two teams. Well as accurate as can be.

What would be better than that? I love the game, but it lacks in that department & its not like it can't be done because Madden is giving it to us every year. I never play Mypark or Myplayer because i more like team building. I go to the real park if i want to play with a bunch of randoms who don't pass and play no D lol. We need this so bad as 2k fans. MyGm is better than Maddens Gm mode overall, but Maddens is online so i find myself playing that with my friend more. It must be done if I'm gonna keep buyin this game!

It can be done hence 2k13, crazy that's 4 years ago haha last year they said they will listen to us, guess we will see if they deliver. Doesn't look good from that generic description.

So, will it be possible for someone to create a custom league with custom teams/rosters/logos/etc and share it?

What I'm thinking is, it would be really cool to have a MyLeague with 36 college teams with their respective alumni as the roster (and fillers if need be). You could even throw historic players in there too.

That would be a ton of fun.

That will also be a lot of work.

We don't know yet, but I think it'll stay at 82 if you add expansion teams.

# 206 Luke Skywalker @ 07/22/16 04:47 AM

Will "Relocation" still be an option? I want to relocate the Nets back to Jersey, not make another Franchise from scratch. also, get rid of"East Rutherford" and just make it say "New Jersey"

MyGM is my favorite mode in the nba 2k games. I've loved a lot of the cool new features and playing through seasons is a bunch of fun. I like this new feature as well because of the element it will add right off the bat in running a new team, however two key things are necessary for any version of my gm to work. Better Gameplay and Quicker Simulation.

I wouldnt mind grinding through 82 game seasons in MyGM if the gameplay was actually fun, but after a few seasons when the league is filled with non-real nba players the sliders and mechanics of the game start failing hard and the games become a nuisance. This is a fundamental problem that affects multiple game modes anyway, it is also the hardest to resolve so i get it. Stil....

So the alternative would be a quick method of simulating. The various simulation options are all very cool features that i feel took a great deal of work, but at the end of the day sometimes i just want to bulk simulate a season or two just to get to a certain year. A quick way to do that might just be a quick prompt that asks if you would like to continue to the next season (at the end of the offseason) and you can select to either go straight to the next season or jump straight to the next offseason simulating player progression, injuries, and game results. This is useful for those of us who are more interested in each seasons offseason leading up to the point where all the current nba players are retired (or on the brink of) so we can truly live through more original storylines and concepts in the nba.

Looks like from the Forbes article that we will have complete control to rebrand/relocate every team, not just 3 like last year. Bravo 2k..possibilities are endless..Let the college 2k, Olympics, and retro unite..what a year this will be.

Maybe the NBA want it to be like that in the game? I know people wanted officials to get offsides wrong occasionally in Fifa but the authority didn't want that to be the image portrayed.

Same - Seattle maybe a sore one. If the NBA ever went to 32 I'd think it would be Seattle and Las Vegas (or a western Canadian team).

For you guys wondering, you can fully edit, customize, rebrand EVERY team this year, not just 3.

# 212 Da InFaMoUs NY @ 07/22/16 11:03 AM

we could download users jerseys but what about courts?

# 213 Grazz1 @ 07/22/16 11:06 AM

Question - can we only add teams or can we subtract? Meaning can I do a mode with 24 or 26 teams if I want to?

That would be great for the retro seasons - prior to a 30 team league.

Yup you can download the whole "team design" which includes the uniforms, court and logos.

I really hope there is a stand-alone create-a-team mode now that there is no limitation to the amount of teams that can be customized. I assumed that's why it wasn't in the game last year.

Hopefully. I mean it would make sense. We basically have a fully fledged create a team feature when it comes to the expansion process in MyLeague.

Next year: League templates so people can quickly re-live seasons like 98, 2010-11, etc.

I know I will be recreating either the 92-93 or 93-94 season once the game drops with Unis and courts and rosters
