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.
I think they need to split the difficulty simulator into home and away. Having home court advantage should make a difference.
When the new teams are implemented into the league they should have minuscule crowd numbers because they won't have much support.
Tattoos, can we please put them on players. (Rookies & Created ones)
Can we please be able to retire numbers?
Finally, body types. They are clearly in the game, you can see KD and Steph have a slender body while LBJ and Shumpert are built and Bennet is just fat, can we have these body types to chose from when adding rookies.
Looking forward to getting my hands into the game.
I probably won't use any of these things in my MyLeague, but this is a solid announcement. I was expecting some fluff, but this is a nice bit a info out of the gate.
In online franchise mode, I would like the option of being able to invite a friend to play in place of the computer. This is an old feature that was on NFL2k5 in the offline mode and it made it so much better. Playing the computer is exactly what I don't want to do as an online league gamer so if they have to stay on the schedule, making it possible to play an opponent would be great.
On a general gameplay point, the animations are to the point where they take away from the game. The bumping forces your player to respond, which takes away some control is one example. It seems that things are almost over-animated.

i agree, one thing that i always noticed with mygm is that attendance is always 100% no matter what, arenas looked pack, i think there should be more factors that determine it
I see there's "Start Today" is there a possibility that they have a "Start from this day" feature..?
Example: I'd start my MyLeague from the 2008 Offseason, and all Drafts going forward have real NBA players getting drafted etc? Instead of now if you do that you have to have fictional classes..
