Everyone does, try being original for once
MYLEAGUE
GENERAL/ONLINE
- MyLeague Online is being expanded in its second year. Now you and friends can play through 80 seasons.
- Rather than emulate the NBA draft and free agency (which is hard to do when you are trying to schedule an event with multiple people), MyLeague introduces the concept of "keepers."
- Each player has a designated number of keeper years for which he's eligible to stay on your roster.
- Much like a fantasy league, after each season you need to decide which players to keep and which to release into the free agency pool.
- Players age and regress and prospects develop, so you need to keep this in mind when making roster decisions.
- The player pool includes players with expired keeper contracts, players released, and a new draft class. This should lead to some interesting team building decisions – do you build for a championship now with proven veterans or invest in your franchise's long-term standing with a rookie?
- The admin can customize how many players each team can keep at the end of a season.
- Admins have much more control this year. They can schedule and update the offseason draft time, import custom draft classes, edit prospects, manually pull players out of retirement, set the draft order, and re-run the draft lottery.
- Injuries are added this year.
- MyLeagues can begin with anywhere from 30 to 36 teams, and admins can add new teams during any offseason.
- You can upload your team rebrandings and new teams via the online sharing functionality so anyone can download them. This year you can package the full suite, including arenas, court floors, jerseys, etc.
- Playoffs mode returns, allowing you to jump right into the year-end tournament with teams of your choosing.
- MyLeague Star Today mode returns as well, so you can start a new league on any day during the regular season and port all the real NBA stats, standings, and injuries into the mode.
- 2K is introducing a new MyPark "after dark" presentation, which turns the online action into a party complete with a DJ, special effects, and a crowd.
- 2K says it has improved the MyPark matchmaking so new players won't be constantly posterized by vets.
- MyPark After Dark features dunk contests and three-point shooting competitions.
- New to MyPark, the Mountain Dew 3X Tournament locks you into a park until one team is left standing.
- NBA 2K17 introduces new park-specific badges.
- Pro-Am games now have new pre-game and post-game intros and celebrations, respectively, and a leveling system.
- The leveling system divides teams into rookie, pro, and elite brackets.
- You reap benefits from being listed on a Pro-Am roster. Each Pro-Am team can have up to eight players on a roster.
- You can finally view full team stats via leaderboards.
- Pro-Am teams can customize their home arenas.
