MLO Community: Post Issues/Errors/Disconnects Here - Communicated Directly to 2k Dev

[joepatowski]

MLO Community: Today is a very good day.

Due to our determination to make Myleague Online bug/error free, we've gotten the attention of a 2K MLO developer. He reached out to me to discuss our 50 page thread (he read all issues and is already working on fixes) and needed more information on a few of the issues we were facing.

I've been in discussion with him for the past few days and recieved his blessing on starting this thread. This thread will serve as an exclusive MLO error/bug/disconnect thread that will include answers directly from an MLO developer.

However, the developer requested that we bring issues to him in a specific format. Here's what we need:


Console:
Gamertag(s): - If it's two users, then you will need both gamertags
Timestamp (include timezone):
League File Name:
Issue:

ANY ISSUE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE ABOVE FORMAT WILL NOT BE SENT IN. It's a waste of his time to try and find a bug when there is a much easier way to find it (my words, not his).

What we can bring to his attention:

• Current bugs / errors within MLO
• Server issues such as disconnects, lags, syncing issues, etc.

We will leave suggestions and improvements out of this thread as there is already another thread for a wishlist.


Few notes:

1. I will be giving errors/issues to the developer every 2 days. We will allow him to remain private so that he is not flooded with issues not pertaining to MLO.


2. The developer will respond on each issue given to him as soon as we can, so we need to remain patient. We all know communication is key, so this is a big win for us. He has been super responsive since we started talking.


3. If you have a game that disconnected in MLO - send it in! The developer has access to server logs, which means he can see why the game dropped so that the servers can be improved, but can not do so if we do not let him know if a game drops.


4. Let's manage our expectations. Some things can easily be fixed, some things may take a patch or two to fix, and some things need more information. If something needs more information, I'll reach back out to the person that has the issue.


5. Videos / Screenshots are SUPER helpful. I would suggest streaming using twitch or mixer if you are constantly facing an issue so that he can see exactly what's going on.

-------------------------

LATEST UPDATES FROM DEVELOPER:


1. Contract extensions don't work for the first several seasons, meaning players remain undecided the entire season in the first season. You could actually test this by simming the first season in MLO and see if any players wanted to resign or decline to resign.
DEV: Ah, that sounds like it should be a relatively ‘easy’ fix. I don’t think we’ll be able to get that in for this patch, but it should be in for the following patch.

2. The shot clock resets to 24 instead of to 14 when a player is fouled. Happens in MLO but also know it happens in regular Myleague and Play Now.
DEV: Also sounds like an easy fix, probably not fixed in this patch, but should be fixed in the next patch.

3. Clear path fouls don't work in MLO.
DEV: Huh, that’s weird – it’s always tricky trying to debug gameplay-related problems in online game modes, but hopefully it should be an easy repro. We should likely have a fix for this in two patches.

4. There are a few RFA that don't have the option to do a Qualifying offer. These players include Bobby Portis, Terry Rozier, and Willie Cauley Stein. We aren't sure all of the players, but we definitely know these players show up as UFA.
DEV: That’s probably a problem for the roster team, but I’ll investigate and pass along my findings.


-------------------------


Feel free to start sending in issues in MLO and on Saturday I will personally email them to the developer.


Other than that, we finally have a direct line of communication to an 2k developer (specializing in MyLeague Online) that wants to help our community! Rejoice!

Great news

Game has felt super clunky and slow the last few days, and shooting is terrible

Not sure if this is an MLO thing or the game in general

Not really sure how to report that

Re: MLO Community: Post Issues/Errors/Disconnects Here - Communicated Directly to 2k

Is this thread serious??? Lmao “determination” all of a sudden you guys wanna be determined now but not when the game released almost every park event is broken

Re: MLO Community: Post Issues/Errors/Disconnects Here - Communicated Directly to 2k

Rofl 2k needs a thread on a public sports gaming forum to collect bugs for them?


He wants to help the community...how nice from him. How about you hire some testers that test the game before its actually released? It will benefit you in the longterm...

This 50 page thread: Can we talk about Critical MyLeague Online Errors / Bugs? was created Sept 12th, so I don't know what you're talking about.

almost every park event is broken

This thread isn't about park, we're trying to get things fixed in MyLeague Online.

Good stuff.

Ignore the comments adding zero value to the thread. They'll be removed going forward & the trolling will be dealt with.

Good to see you guys making progress.

Yes please as the dev will address any past issues as well, even if they have been resolved through a possible hotfix or maybe it wasn't mentioned in a patch.

We appreciate you bro. Thank you for helping.

Tough one to troubleshoot, for sure. However if you do experience a specific game lagging or anything, still post the information and they can still take a look at the server log to see where the bottleneck is.

I'm gonna post the things that happen consistently as I don't have time stamps for anything and some league files have since been deleted.

Console: PS4
Gamertag: MiiikeMarsh

• In MLO when you release a player, his cap figure will count against the cap just until he clears waivers. Once he does, the cap figure disappears. So no cap penalty, no dead money on the cap table, nothing. This was something that was supposedly fixed in the last patch..it was not. Offline this works.
  This occurs 100% of the time in any MLO.
  
  
• Injuries will still occur even when turned off. I even turned the frequency to zero before turning them off but we still had an injury.
  This occurs 100% of the time in any MLO.
  
  
• When an ingame non playable injury occurs where the player needs to be helped off the court, the game will just hang there with both users unable to do anything except quit the game or wait about 3 minutes. This seems to happen with non playable injuries whereas playable injuries may occur without realizing it since there is no cut scenr. However there is also no glitch related to thes.
  This happens on every non playable injury.
  
  
• A 30 user MLO draft is undoable from what I've experienced. The game doesn't recognize other users readying up. Freezes at start, and at every expiring timer requiring each user to leave and come back. The game will sometimes change users picks. Or if that's not enough, it may just instantly auto draft the entire draft even with users present. That's all if you can even pick a team and enter the lobby to begin with.
  Last time this occured was in league file MLBA S17 V2 on Oct 7 at around 9:20pm est
  
  
• Currently in 2k you cannot offer a 2 way contract when you have 15 players on your roster. When you have 15 you simply can't enter negotiations with anyone. So the only way to sign 2 way players is to leave that last spot open, sign the two 2 ways, then your 15th player. This completely defeats the purpose. This obviously affects offline as 2 way contracts weren't even added to MLO.
  This occurs 100% of the time
  
  
• There is a bug for extension eligibility for 1st round picks (or guys who have an original contract length of 4 years) that says they are ineligible due to not having an original contract length of 4 years even though the pop up even admits that they have 4 years. Even if you edit their original contract length to 5, they will still be ineligible. This affects offline as well. During the offseason, they seem like they're eligible, but they'll say undecided. Once the season starts, they are back to ineligible again.
  This occurs 100% of the time.
  
  
• This is offline only but I'm adding it here as it currently causes the game to crash. In the last patch you added the ability to override all star selections...sort of. Anytime I've tried to make a change to an all star team the new player appeared on the list but then the game would crash. When I try to override a dunk contest or 3 point participant, the pop up will say "replace this player with that player?" I say yes but then the change doesn't register.
  
  
• When editing a roster using quick edit in MLO, sometimes (haven't been able to determine exactly what causes it) upon confirming the changes the player will take a 2 point hit to his overall rating as well as shrinking by 2 inches. What does happen consistently is when editing 2 players before confirm changes the two players will swap heights upon hitting confirm changes.
  This is happening consistently to me in league file 3NDbasketball.

Thanks! He is already aware of most of these (if not all) but I'll get him to answer each one. A few I know i've given additional information, such as the injury bug as well.

Perfect, i was looking for an exact game with the last one but couldn't remember who it was between.

I have another I forgot,

The trade deadline and power rankings/big board count is skipping games after each game played. When i get on tonight I'll get an exact example and the pertinent info. But it'll jump from 205 to 198 after one game.

Expansion doesn’t work

They will let you add 32 teams to a league, but once 30 users join no one else can be added.

Re: MLO Community: Post Issues/Errors/Disconnects Here - Communicated Directly to 2k

Console: PC

Gamertag(s): jk31

Timestamp (include timezone): no specific timestamp, happens every game

League File Name: DYNE Season #27 (happened in every MLO User vs User game since NBA 2k15 or 16)

Issue: Defensive Communications and ACE settings will revert to their default values when starting a game. I for example have defense communications on for both offense and defense and habe ace deavctivated. this setting is saved in the League Menu. when I Quit and restart the game, the setting is still exactly to what i Set it to. as soon as i Start a game, both settings are back to Off (Team communications) and On (ACE).
after the game in the League Menu, it is again like i want to have it.

There are other other settings in both Coach and defensive settings (rebound assist, icon lead passing, right Stick Mode) that revert back to default values but These changes Happen randomly and Not that Often. the Bug with two settings i mentioned above (ACE, Team communications) really happens in every Single game!
