NBA 2K17 will feature league expansion for MyGM and MyLEAGUE modes. Check out the details in the new blog from Erick Boenisch, AKA SimBaller.

For anyone who has read my blogs in the past, you know that I am serious about MyGM and MyLEAGUE. I'm blessed to work with a core group of people who share the exact same level of passion. We've done a LOT of work to these modes this year, and one feature I can't stop talking about is...League Expansion. This is entirely new to NBA 2K17, and is the feature I want to tell you about today.
A little confused about number of teams we can rebrand. Can anyone clarify? If we can rebrand all teams, then we basically have access to NCAA Bball, international, and everything else. Would be so awesome. I just hope our expansions teams can use short shorts and different fit jerseys to replicate classic teams.
Yeah, short shorts, we need them.
I really hope we can rebrand the entire league. I could create entire season with 100% accuracY! 70s, 80s, 90s, olympics, oh my...
Euroleague Mode or Olimpic Games mode will be possible?¿?¿ If we can create teams without limits..
I hope so! If there is no limit, we can basically create everything! Olympic Games, Euroleague retro, current european Leagues like Italian League, Spanish League, of course all the retro NBA Season!!!: google:
It would be nice if you could have the choice between 4 divisions(old school) or the current 6 divisions set-up. If I chose to expand with 2 more teams, I would like to be able to have four 8 team divisions.
Sorry I'm not sure i understand. So we can have 36 teams in franchise mode, but isn't realistic to the NBA? I know it's an "option" and people love options, but aren't we trying to get more sim?
Zooming in on the image they provided here, it appears the creation of the expansion team is -- at least on the surface -- very similar to last year's rebranding. The left-most box says: "Design a team from the ground up with the creation of a team logo, home/away uniforms, and a custom arena."
The second box -- the "Use Pre-Built Team" -- is interesting in that the two uniforms depicted there are both colored ones, highly unusual for a team that isn't the Lakers. Doesn't seem like alternate uniforms is a thing, but that's merely conjecture on my part.
Menus are looking real noice 2k! I was hoping you guys would take a page out of how it was done you know where... very clean modern design.
Rebrand 6 teams total instead of 3.. am I getting that right? I guess what makes that cool is the expansion angle which makes things way more interesting. Now when I create the olympics tournament I won't have to use an old nba team to compensate for filling the full 30 team roster.
You could also create an older favorite franchise without compromising a current team too. Put a team back in Vancouver and keep Memphis for example.
Downloading designs right from the community...awesome! How much more time would that save many of us lol, but hopefully we can edit things even after we download.
Too bad we saw nothing about designing alternate uniforms. That was one thing missing that would've been really cool.
This is where the confusion starts

- Start a league with Expansion where you can instantly expand the league from 30 up to 36 teams (all with designs of your choosing).
