	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.

Yeah I played the heck out of Madden 2002 because of that.

Great Call. Can call a team from South Carolina the Pelicans or a team from Daytona Beach. I'm planning on giving Vancouver and Seattle teams, Myrtle Beach a team, Nashville, Lexington, and West Virginia a team. Names for a West Virginia team?

What if they make the league randomly assign one ASW to one of the 16 top tier teams, I think that would be pretty cool. Instead of playing in the same arena every year

That would be awesome, but they'd need generic artwork ready.

Not to mention the, uh...rather divisive circumstances involving the real-life location of this season's All-Star Game. (Please, let's NOT turn this thread into an argument about that. There are other forums for that.)

I remember deciding not to buy 2k17 after I bought every game since 2k9, then I saw one of my favorite options in 2k association mode (start today feature, really helps with waiting for good rosters) and Playoffs mode finally back.
Add the extra MyLeague things and say goodbye to 60 bucks.

They could just let us edit the allstar weekend arena, city and uniforms with the robust relocation feature. Better yet, just let us download user creations.

One thing I'd like to see is an improvement in arena creation. I'd like to be able to make changes to the arenas for teams without having to completely redo the entire thing.

As it stands right now, if I wasn't a fan of the Bulls' new court and wanted to give them the court they'd been using since the United Center opened, I can't recreate that because of the limitations in the creation feature. For example, the four Bulls logos inside the three point lines. The out of bounds text style.

Some times, teams make only minor changes to their courts. With 2K, you're forced to redo the entire arena from the ground up just to do something as minor as adding an arena name to the floor.

I really hope that we can either outright edit the arenas or "copy" them and make our edits. The only actual arenas I would do anything to are the Knicks and Celtics. And that's only edit the Knicks arena color, provided it still too light in 2K17, and name TD. That's it. I mainly want to edit the ad signs and stuff. Advertise NFL/MLB teams in the NBA cities that have them and stuff like Hollywood in LA; Disney in Orlando. Just personalize each place a bit more without doing a complete arena rebuild.

Who do we need to ask to find out if we can use the Dream Team in MyLeague.

# 271 ramspeedkill @ 08/01/16 05:08 PM

so if i had 6 expansion teams than i will need extra 13(players each team) x 6 = 78 players, do we even have 78 players in FA list?

There would be an expansion draft to fill out the teams from the other teams in the league as well as the free agent pool

Here's how the expansion draft worked the last time it was used.

There's about 150 FA, so there's enough to even put a full 15 on each time.

Aside from starting the mode on the present date - is Start Today essentially the same as MyGM or MyLEAGUE?

Thats how I was feeling, was going to sit out this yr on 17, or atleast not buy day1, but then I saw the Start Today mode back in the game, and th fact that the Aussie Nat team is in the game, which means Ryan Broekhof is in the game, so Im buying it. I use to be a season ticket holder for Valpo, and watch this kid grow up so with him and his team in Im buying it after all. I just hope they have fixed start today, so awards isnt screwed up like it use to be.

Totally agree.. I would like to make the paint at MSG NYK orange again.

I'm not getting hyped until i see core improvements to MyLEAGUE mode. Every year that bring these shiny new features that are really just surface level things, but MyLEAGUE mode is only as good as its depth & engine.

I actually hope they didn't put too much time into this. There are other more important fundamental things that require attention when it comes to MyGM and MyLEAGUE.

That said, the return of "Start Today" is cool.

# 279 derrtyRedd @ 08/09/16 04:09 PM

I wonder if we can just sign a team full of free agents rather than draft players from other teams? I'd love to just use free agents and build my team from the ground up

So you hope they didn't put too much time into a new feature which would only add to the problems in depth and engine that you talk about...

That doesn't make sense.
