Philly and Utah can still win games. The owners will need to adjust their style of play to their roster. This is one of the biggest faults of most online players. They want to play the same way with every team

Still.no confirmation of saved playbooks? Our 12 min quarter gms will be an eternity if we have to spend additional time setting up playbooks before tip off each gm. That's a grind I'm not looking forward to. Like Van says, if 2k is silent on this, its most likely not in

fantasy draft can be done outside the association if custom rosters work properly. The features that are a must, as other people are saying, and haven't been mentioned are


- Custom sliders
- Custom playbooks (ability to save playbooks)
- Some admin (commissioner) controls over the league (approving/declining trades, kicking users, reseting games, advancing/simulating games, giving wins and losses
- leaving and then joining the same league (not being kicked out of the league)
- practicing plays


And it seems that we are not going to have them this year =(. Custom sliders and custom playbooks are so important man... well, at least we are going to be able to compete in some way with these online leagues.

Silverskier, are u also known as silverbac5 that ran nsba leagues back in the day?

Your posts are level headed and always bring back the thread to the relevant points. What you outlined are the critical customization options that make online leagues viable. These are not trivial add-ons; hopefully a dev can chime in..it's casual Friday at VC as well lol

I pray they just haven't responded yet! It took me 5 minutes and my opponent 5 minutes to redo playbooks in 2k11 so 10 minutes before we could even start a game and that was with just 4 plays per player! Lol! What a waste of time! Do that for 82 games and that's 9 hours of my life I can't get back! Haha

But let's not act like 2k didn't tell us from the jump that OAs wouldn't make it in 15. With that known weeks ago, the community were waiting for a confirmation of the customization aspect which I am content with in an irrational battered woman sense. 2k has taken us on a roller coaster ride with the additions, omissions, and ignorance of glitches that have confounded us all. So with basic admin options back in online leagues, we have the ability to play other humans on hall of fame sim settings for the duration of 12 mins, with a guaranteed chance to finish a season, even if it's one and done, is a bargain I'll settle for any day of the week. As for the custom roster feature; if it works, gives the community infinite options ranging from multiple season OAs based on season to season roster uploads that account for progression to fantasy rosters and even legend team roster leagues. 2k, the rational league heads will settle for this bargain for now, only if you build on this iteration to eventually bring us what we all feel entitled to on this generation of consoles, that being a true online association in the vein of maddens incredibly immersive connected franchise modes. That's right, I'm challenging you, sim baller, davez, leftos, and who ever else worked on the awe inspiring myleague. Seriously, bring that bad boy online in 2k16 and all of the abuse will have been forgiven and forgotten and swept under the rug (Ray Rice style). And if we don't get myleague online next season, the tape of the abuse will be made public and shake the Visual Concept empire in Novato to its core. And with that, I'll wind down my postings till the game releases as there is now some peace of mind knowing that I can safely retire last gen 2k and it's online associations that although flawed, still allowed us play multiple seasons, save our playbooks, practice our plays (omitted from 2k14), sign FAs, and customize sliders. I know I know, it's back to the future for us online hoopers that have seen it all when it comes to this mode that we all love and the majority shuns, yet 2k says #ourtimehascome?

Totally agree with your post Amedawg !


Van, I think that the custom roster feature will aid a bit the issue of playbooks, as playbooks are within the roster itself, therefor, they should be set on the custom roster that the league will use ... issues may arise when there is roster movement tho, so here is to hope for playbooks saves.

Hmmmm... Interesting! So as a workaround everyone would have to send me there playbooks in advance and I could make all the changes. It would take forever but worth it in the end! Good call if this works!

Excellent idea ffaaco. ..that's the critical thinking we need to make this mode work for us. right now our lg is stuck on how to incorporate the salary cap and how to deal with FA allocations and signings if we go the custom roster multiple season route
