NBA 2K17 Features League Expansion For MyGM & MyLEAGUE Modes

Re: NBA 2K17 Features League Expansion For MyGM & MyLEAGUE Modes

The NBA hasn't had more than 1 expansion team join the league at any one time since the Magic, Heat, Hornets and Timberwolves joined in 1989 or 90 as I recall

Vancouver and Toronto in 1995.

I don't even like this idea... In modern NBA some teams are really lacking good or even quality players and this feature only will make league weaker talent wise.
I did not like idea of moving to other cities teams too, just waste of time for me and no fun, but MyLeague is my favorite mode, so I'm eager to learn other things about it.

2k has groomed an entire generation of VC driven MyTeam and MyPlayer modes people DONT LIKE THIS.

Hate online gaming priority, this makes me happy beyond belief.

More customization and abilty to create what could happen n real life...called unrealistic.

Laughable.

Is Team Relocation/League realignment still in MyGm or is it just expansion

In myGm, when does expansion happen, is it user controlled or automatic?

Re: NBA 2K17 Features League Expansion For MyGM & MyLEAGUE Modes

I wonder what the 10 preset locations/teams are?

Some of them are in the menu picture that was posted (Hi-res version)

Baltimore Barons
Cincinnati Lions
Kansas City Knights
Louisville Liberty
Nashville Stars
Pittsburgh Force
San Diego Surf
St. Louis Sound
Vancouver Ravens
Virginia or Virginia Beach Storm (guess part of the logo is covered)

Now you can expand your myLeague with extra teams what does this mean for roster creation?

This could mean Create a Team which can be saved to a custom roster, or using the Olympic team(s) for a franchise.

Its a good sign they will add more historic teams. The rumor 2K17 news has come this late was because the developers are balancing the game a bit with KD on Golden State now. They should add more of the best teams of all time to pit against the current Warriors squad. Fits with this league expansion...

All those rosters with added historic teams can be ported into franchise mode and have a custom team uniform design to go along with them!


A lot of these have been mentioned but i'm still hoping they have:
myTeam players in custom rosters,
download created players,
alternate jersey creation,
more hairstyles and tattoos on created players,
more uniform options like shorts length for jerseys,
body types,


This is a good sign but I'm not biting the lure just yet...

I wasn't planning on purchasing this year but the expansion mode really has me intrigued. I don't really watch the NBA outside of the NBA Finals, the draft, and a few highlights.

I'm happy playoff mode is back!

Sounds Great. Can't wait to try out the expansion league and probably full around a bit on a custom league as well. As always though, I'll probably eventually settle with just doing a regular 30 team league with the default teams as my main league.

[Sombreromalo]

Hopefully this means the created players will be more realistic, since I'm assuming they will fill out the rest of the rosters on expansion teams. And here's also hoping the preset team templates aren't a bunch of wacky color combinations. I'm just really excited to finally have some news.

No preset Seattle team? Weird. I wonder if there was some legal hang-up that prevented them from doing so. Oh well, at least we'll have the community making unis and stuff for us.

But sadly, there's no option yet announced (if any) for a Hornets-Pelicans style (or Cleveland Browns) deal where the moved team gives you back your history and retired numbers. Instead we're stuck with what happened with the NHL's Winnipeg Jets and Arizona Coyotes, where the original Jets moved to Phoenix and took their history with them, and the when the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg to become the new Jets, they were stuck with nothing. (But don't tell the fans that--and believe me, I sympathize. Houston Oilers/Texans, anyone?)

That said, while I'd much rather have Kentucky Colonels than Louisville Liberty, "Kansas City Knights" was actually a name I used in 2K16 when moving a team there! I like that name!

If we can re-locate and re-brand the ENTIRE LEAGUE then for me its Day-1 buy! I already cant wait to make a lot of Retro Roster if this is true!!!!

I have a feeling we still won't be able to rebrand and relocate all teams on consoles but I would be shocked if we can't rebrand and relocate more teams then last year.

This shows that 2K is listening to use. They took stuff that a lot of use suggested and took it to the next level. The sharing designs is big. Simballer you the man. Can't wait to get more news.

Hopefully Kentucky is one of the preset teams.

Vancouver and Toronto in 1995.

^Totally forgot about them, good catch, sir. Vancouver definitely should get an expansion team in the future -- assuming they even want one. I feel like there needs to be another Canadian team in the NBA and that Canada is a natural place to found a team.
