    Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K18 Wish List

    Post any of your feature requests for MyGM, MyLEAGUE, or MyLEAGUE Online (basically, the franchise modes) for NBA 2K18 here.

    Please no questions, as I won't likely have time to respond. Just keep it to feature ideas or change/update requests that you'd like us to do in order to start building a bridge to the future in order to make franchise great again and again and again...

    I will constantly be checking this throughout the development cycle for new ideas (makes my job easier ), so it's never too late to post something (though, depending on the size of the request and the timing, it may be too late to get it into 2K18).

    Player Progression
    A "potential attributes" feature. If not going all out by giving every attribute its own potential rating. At least break them into categories (shooting, playmaking, defense, etc) based on letter grade.

    In the letter grade system the individual attributes would progress up until they reach a number that is in the scale for that letter grade (A+,A, etc.)

    I am in favor of giving every attribute its on potential rating however (with the new quick edit feature it wouldnt too time consuming). Now you can calculate the potential overall rating using the actual potential attribute ratings. This will help differentiate the development of guys. You can have guys develop into D-Wade vs Klay Thompson (guys with high overall but different skill sets)

    I think that you could use potential ratings to help with free agent contract demands and roster logic. Would also open the door for a better scouting system when it comes to the draft. You could have text that tells you how high a guy's potentials are and how close he is to those potentials.

    This feature would give more life to MyLeague going forward. scouting the draft would be more fun. Also it would help guys of similar positions progressing in the same fashion since they would all progress to their potential ratings.

      Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K18 Wish List

      Here's what I've got for now.....

      1) The ability to add player mid-MyLeague/MyGm - self-explanatory, but just like you can import a rookie class let us import a player. Also, if we could copy a player over another player that would be helpful as well.

      2) Ability to edit the looks of a prospect in-season - I would love to see the ability to edit the looks of prospects after importing a draft class or even in the middle of a season. Also, I'd love to add or remove tattoos, headbands, etc.

      3) In-Game Advanced Rotation - Give us access to advanced rotations in-game. That we have a player in foul trouble or are in a blowout or simply want to rest a player for a game without messing up our normal rotation we can do so easily.

      4) Create-A-Staff - Coach, Assistant Coach, GM. Let us create them with the same editor (or similar) that we have for create-a-player... let us change their attributes, badges, etc. Let us share them.

      5) Some sort of D-League integration - I get that D-League may not be popular enough for the full league to return, but adding something as a placeholder would be suitable for me. Something where you could store players, that generates stats (similar to the prospects college stats) and you watch them progress (or not).

      6) More League/Expansion customization - Let us take away or add divisions. Whether we want our leagues in two divisions or one giant league.

      7) More re-branding customization - Let us create new uniforms or arena's while keeping the old uniforms as alternates or at least add alternate unis to what we currently have.

      8) More city/team names added for Pre-Built Expansion Teams - I'm sure that this may have something to do with commentary, but if we could have more cities and team names, then have the ability to mix and match them that would be very cool.


      These last two might be a little ambitious:

      9) A combined MyLeague/MyGm Mode - I like both modes, but I am mainly a MyLeague player now. I would like MyGm better if I could have more say over certain moves. Basically, I want options to pick and choose while features I want out of both modes.

      10) Past prospect rookie ratings templates for creating new prospects - What I would like is for past templates for past rookies (as many as possible). So if I wanted to create a rookie Micheal Jordan, then his template is already in the game and all I have to do is select it. Or if I want to start with a Jordan base and change certain things, then I could edit whatever I wanted. Example: If I wanted to make Harry Giles with the same attributes as a rookie Chris Webber, but Giles isn't as good of a passer as Webber was, then I would create Giles, select Webber and lower his passing and adjust whatever I wanted to adjust.


      ... more to come later I'm sure.

        Free Agency
        Would also like to see free agents make contract demands based on how much money is available in total. Compound all of the cap space into one pool and then guys should be ranked by position and by where they are in the league. (79 OVR, 3rd best Center, 31st Overall). This Center would request money based on how much money is available in the league and based on his power ranking so to speak. He could make more money than a guys who is 80 OVR, 11 best PG, 30th Overall) potentially because the center is more valuable relative to his position


        This will help with guys not requesting enough money because their overall isnt at a certain threshold. Guys will be paid relative to how good they are to their peers.
        Will help create guys that get overpaid because of a weak free agent market.


        Sub Logic
        The advanced rotation was great and outside of the AI not being able to create individual sub patterns (which is totally understandable) it is a monumental addition if a user decides to go through the entire league and do it themselves. However injuries and foul trouble are a hassle to deal with. So how about a depth chart for each position. This would give the AI a reference point for who to replace a player with (especially for in game foul trouble. Injuries are a different beast that require a lot more brainstorming)

          1. More storylines involving the rivalries mechanic. It would be great if this was deeper. At the moment, all I feel is a line of commentary. Ill have a think about what can be added.

          2. Progressive fatigue needs to be a thing. We should really feel players struggling on the 2nd night of a b2b.

          3. A home court advantage mechanic. I started a thread on it and there were some good ideas.

          4. The ability to export rosters from within a ML/MyGM. Im editing as I go in ML, I'd love the ability to save that roster to my HD and be able to use it elsewhere.

              I second all of this. The ticker needs to be a must at this point, especially when it was in older games (NBA 2K10 I know definitely had the ticker).

                Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K18 Wish List

                1. I want you guys fix things which are already in the game! It's most important thing! We need:

                - Solid Roster logic for AI. It's still struggles to understand what it really needs and why.
                - Re-worked trade logic. AI only wants more from you, but does not really understand how it's gonna use that "more".
                - AI doing trades during NBA Draft is honeslty disaster. Needs to be looked again.
                - Players should ask real amount of money for them.
                - Contested shot rating should not drop for almost whole league every season for no reason!


                2.
                - Maybe add voice for ticker, I'm sure it will give life to it.
                - Top 10 of week/10 introduced in 2k18? Let AI generate plays based on players ratings and tendencies. It's my brilliant idea and it will take this modes to another level. It will solve problem like if you in a vacuum when playing this modes.
                - Players trying to team up to be able to stop GS and Cavs. Would cool and fun. We need challenge in this modes.

                3.
                Russian roulette potential system, every year some unexpected players making good progress. What if game randomly would give every two month 4 attribute and potential boost to a two players in a random teams which ratings are below 75. Would be really cool and change things in an interesting manner.

                4.
                More customization for MYGM. There are some really good features in there, but general flaws of this modes drive all sim players crazy when you can't control bad trades, for example.

                  Re: Official MyGM / MyLEAGUE / MLO 2K18 Wish List

                  I love this thread.

                  1. I second Baebae32 with each attribute having a potential. It's more dynamic than Ben Simmons has a potential overall of 89. It would be cool to read in a scouting report that John Smith has outstanding athletic ability but his mid range jumpshot is poor and that it can improve some but he'll never be a great or even good shooter. So no matter what I do (outside of editing him) he'll never be Ray Allen. Look at guys like MKG. It would be great to have that element replicated in Myleague. I want to see that with every attribute; it would really separate classes and players later on.

                  2. I want more dynamic commentary and stat banners. If I'm in year 3 and Ben Simmons has been a 2 time allstar I want to see free throw numbers from the game and career numbers. As well as hear something along the lines of, "Here's the 2 time all star and rookie of the year Simmons at the line. He's about a 70% shooter from the free throw line." Just something long that line.

                  2a. On the presentation front I want to see a more generic broadcast, thinking more like 2k14 this gen, for most games in ML. Then have Shaq and the crew for the big primetime games as well as playoffs. Just gives them a different feel as opposed to getting old and repetitive. Continue to get the halftime show back to where it was just back in 2k14. Reference current games and give a quick recap of things.

                  3. This may be a personal thing but the way generated rookie faces look just breaks immersion for me. Their faces don't feel like they belong in the same graphical universe as stock players. And that's understandable. Stock players are scanned. That's why I would like for you guys/gals to do what you did back in 2k9 (I'm going back here) with the spliced faces. It was like a hybrid of two NBA players. But at least the ingame models looked like they belonged in the same universe as stock players. I have attached a photo (sorry for the bootleg quality, lol). Either that or have premade faces like 2K14 this gen did just with a TON of head models to choose from. As well as tats.

                  4. Euroleague/NBDL integration in any way.

                  5. Simplify the Draft. I like the fancy lottery presentation. But the draft should just be guys walking up, shaking the commish's hand and donning a cap.

                  That's all for now.

                    First of all 2k does an excellent job of creating an immersive franchise mode. My biggest wish is that on the player training menu their actual rating would be displayed beside where you increase/decrease points put into the attribute. It would make it so much easier for me.

                      D-League - If text based only - In your teams MyLeague calendar add a button to swap to your D-Leagues affiliate calendar. Have all the sim stats available for D-League as well as awards.

                      Multiple Broadcast Packages - Differentiate a Thursday night TNT style double header and a Monday night game with different layouts. What can work here also, is to have a national broadcast section when showing "daily games" on your calendar where it shows you what teams are playing eachother. Kind of like this...

                      Spoiler


                      I really like the many different broadcasters you added this year it really does make playing a regular season game feel different. Hopefully for next year you can take it one step further and make nationally televised games and regular games standout from each other.

                        I was thinking about this before, and Im struggling to come up with specific ideas. ML is so customisable, we can get lost in the detail.

                        I think the mode would benefit with some narrative driven cut scenes. The rivalry mechanic would be suited. Show us some highlights from epic games or performances.

                        Maybe that Damon Bruce guy could be used to bring in some narrative to the mode. He could do a weekly 'segment' showing some generated highlights of some great performances, or running through some notable stat lines.

                        Or he could discuss a trade that was made with highlights of the traded players.

                        I love the mode. But adding some personality and narrative to it would take it to the next level.

                        ***The all star ad that is included is awesome. More and more of that please.

                        Just on this one, maybe Im managing my minutes really well, but my players are never anything other than fresh or rested even after back to backs.

                        Perhaps add in a progressive slider fatigue where setting it higher makes players more easily fatigued on the 2nd night of a b2b game.

                          For me, all they really need to do for rivalry games is to ramp the crowd up some. Have players be a little chippy and have the announcers mention how much the teams and players dislike each other.

                          Now there's a treasure trove of league wide anecdotes in those social media feeds. I want more of that brought to the front. Mention that KG has announced his retirement. Or that Cousins has demanded a trade. There's just so much there. It's like we have this living breathing mode but unless you dig for it you wouldn't know about a quarter of the happenings in it.

                            With the features they added with expansion and rebranding, 2K could even just add in generic D-League teams with the accurate league setup and let us create the real courts, jerseys, and logos. D-League rosters may or may not be included. And adding on with the rebranding part, allow us to add images to anywhere on the court, so that we can truly create the actual courts of the NBA, considering teams are adding ads on sidelines by benches, and so we can add court designs like we've seen with colleges, the Bucks, Cavs, Denver, etc.

                            Other than that just agree with what everyone else has said.

                              I really like this one. I based my ML roster off a late September roster, so I don't have access to a lot of late signings.

                              At the very least, include CAP within ML/MyGM.
