10 Wonderful Ways To Play MyLeague and MyGM In NBA 2K17

After the producer announced new features for a game mode, a brainstorm session is sparked off among gamers.

The new options that will be added to NBA 2K17′s MyGM and MyLeague are enough to make it one of our most highly anticipated games of the year.

On Tuesday, we learned MyGM and MyLeague would now include expansion.This means you’ll be able to have leagues with as many as 36 teams, and that your new customized association can include squads from the current NBA, the Euroleague, classic teams, as well as totally original clubs with completely unique logos, uniforms and arenas.

When you add in the options to realign divisions and to create and edit players, the combinations of customizable roster sets and league structure is staggering.

This is like virtual sports heaven. We’re already planning on tackling the MyGM and MyLeague modes from a few different angles.

After the aforementioned brainstorm session in players, there came up with 10 intriguing concepts to explore in NBA 2K17.

1. Afros and Multi-Colored Balls

Afros and Multi-Colored Balls

Who wants to be the first to start the hashtag: #BringBackTheABA?

With six expansion slots, it might be cool to create the St. Louis Spirits, Virginia Squires, Utah Stars and three other old ABA teams.

We don’t know if we’ll be able to change the fit of the player’s uniforms to match the era, or if we’ll be free to change the color of the basketball. However, with the realignment feature, you could create an all-ABA division.

Perhaps you raid the classic teams for players who spent time in the defunct league and go to town with afros and Chuck Taylors.

2. The Alumni

the Alumni

CHARLOTTE, NC – MARCH 20: Kyrie Irving #1 of the Duke Blue Devils reacts while taking on the Michigan Wolverines during the third round of the 2011 NCAA men’s basketball tournament at Time Warner Cable Arena on March 20, 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

We still don’t have a College Hoops 2K game, but with the team creation options, we could create spot on uniforms and arenas for our favorite collegiate programs.

Creating current college players and teams for a condensed experienced is a thought, but without having the option to change the shot clock and playbooks, it won’t feel like a college game.

An even more exciting concept is an alumni league.

You take the best 34 pro-producing collegiate programs (leaving slots open for prep-to-pros and international players) and you assemble the 13-best players from each group.

For example, a North Carolina Tar Heels team would have: Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Kenny Smith, while a Duke Blue Devils team would have Grant Hill and Kyrie Irving.

Playing with those teams for an entire season might be fun.

3. The World League of Hoops

The World League of Hoops

CSKA Moscow French player Nando de Colo poses with the trophy after Moscow won the final at the Euroleague Final Four in Berlin on May 15, 2016.CSKA Moscow defeated Fenerbahce Istanbul 101 to 96, to take the trophy.

Ever wanted to know what would happen if the NBA Finals winner played against the team that won the Euroleague Cup to determine a true world champion?

If you add in the six best Euroleague teams into your MyGM or MyLeague, you could simulate or play out that fantasy. Would the Golden State Warriors wind up playing CSKA Moscow for the title?

4. Contest of Champions

Contest of Champions

OAKLAND, CA – JUNE 19: Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors handles the ball against Tristan Thompson #13 of the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals at ORACLE Arena on June 19, 2016 in Oakland, California.

Every year it seems there’s a debate about how one championship team would match up against one from another era. In real life, we don’t have a way to settle those arguments.

However, in NBA 2K17, you could choose the 36-best NBA championship teams (even multiple squads from the same organization) and have them compete in a full campaign and postseason.

5. Going Home

going home

CLEVELAND, OH – JUNE 22: Cleveland fans walk in front of a LeBron James mural located on Ontario St. during the Cleveland Cavaliers 2016 NBA Championship victory parade and rally on June 22, 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio. The Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors to bring the first professional sports championship to the city of Cleveland since 1964.

NBA free agents returning to the cities and/or states that they grew up in has become a trend. LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard and others have done it; You can take the idea to the extreme in NBA 2K17.

Take the 36 most prominent pro-producing states/countries/continents (by birth or high school location) and create teams for each.

A Texas team might include Jimmy Butler, Clyde Drexler and Chris Bosh and an Illinois group would have Derrick Rose, Isiah Thomas and Mark Aguirre.

6. The All-Time Teams

all time teams

With my Ultimate Legends roster, you can assemble the top players from each of the 30 NBA organizations to see which has had the best collection of stars.

Seattle Supersonics fans will probably want their own team, so that could fill one of the extra six slots—though you could play with just 30. A team of international stars who never played in the NBA such as Oscar Schmidt and Ante Tomic could fill out another.

7. The D-League Plus

D-League Plus

PHOTO SPECIAL FOR THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL – Memphis Grizzlies’ Levi Randolph guards the ball in an NBA summer league basketball game against NBA D-League Select, Friday, July, 8 2016, in Las Vegas.

There’s a contingent of fans who have been campaigning for the D-League’s inclusion in NBA 2K.

There’s only 19 D-League teams currently (20 if you count the new Chicago franchise), so you’d have to fill at least 10 other spots with other teams from lower-level pro leagues.

8. The New Era

new era

Here’s where it gets crazy.

This would take a lot of work, but if you’ve got the desire and the time, it might be worth it. You could create new players to fill out the rosters for all 30 NBA teams.

Essentially, you’d be dumping all the players from every roster and replacing them with new, fictional players.

In NBA 2K16, whenever you began the create-a-player process, a face, height and physical dimensions would be randomly selected—as would the name, position and a ratings base.

If that hasn’t changed in this year’s game, you could go with those randomly generated players as the new stars of the NBA.

If you want a little more control over the new faces of the league, you could give them all new names, etc. It would be like playing 20 or so seasons in a MyGM or MyLeague to a point where all of the current players have retired.

What would you do with the current players? One option is to put them all in the free agent pool and push each of their ages and experience to the max.

That would hasten their retirements and removal from the league. If you’re also wondering how to get past the 150 create-a-player max, here’s a workaround that has worked for the past two versions of the game.

9. Alternative Association

Perhaps you want to keep all of the current players, but you’d like to have 30-36 original teams. You could rebrand and/or relocate every team. Want to make it really cool?

Begin your MyGM or MyLeague with a fantasy draft and watch Kevin Durant wind up playing for the Mississippi Mastodons; I made that one up myself.

10. The Complete Redo

redo

Are you hardcore?

You better be if you’re going to try this last option. It’s basically a combination of the last two sets. Dump all of the current NBA players and rebrand and/or relocate every team and expand the league out to 36 teams.

The result would be a league of your own in almost every sense of the theme. This requires a considerable time commitment, but it epitomizes everything the new options in MyGM and MyLeague allow fans to do.

All above is others’ idea, if you have more opinions, we’re glad to share.

“NBA 2K17”: Pau Gasol Chose Spurs

This year the San Antonio Spurs brought back guard Manu Ginobili. And they also signed Pau Gasol, beefing up a front line that will be lacking Tim Duncan next season for the first time in 19 years.

The 7-foot Gasol has won two NBA titles and is a six-time All-Star. Gasol is one of six players in NBA history to reach 19,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists and 1,500 blocks, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O’Neal, Kevin Garnett and Duncan, who retired earlier this week.

Pau Gasol

The Spurs did not release terms Thursday, but a person with knowledge of the situation previously told The Associated Press that he has a two-year deal worth more than $30 million.

The 36-year-old Gasol has been one of the league’s most talented and versatile big men for the last 15 years. He spent the last two seasons in Chicago NBA 2K17 Coins averaged 16.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists this year, his game showing few signs of aging. An unselfish player, he should fit right in with Gregg Popovich’s ball-moving system, and the Spurs’ reputation for resting players for the playoffs had to be appealing to Gasol.

Ginobili, a four-time champion with the Spurs, will return for his 15th season. He has averaged 14.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.37 steals in 923 games.

There were a number of suitors lining up for Gasol, including Portland, Minnesota and Toronto. The Timberwolves offered him a two-year deal worth $36 million to open negotiations, but Gasol wanted to play for a team that was ready to contend for a championship and he joins a Spurs frontcourt that features LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard.

Over 1,055 career NBA games, Gasol has averaged 18.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.68 blocks while shooting .510 from the floor and .755 from the free throw line in 35.3 minutes. He has appeared in 115 career playoff games, averaging 16.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 38 minutes. He has also helped Spain win silver medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

The 2002 Rookie of the Year was drafted with the third overall pick in 2001 and immediately dealt by Atlanta to Memphis, where he spent his first six-plus seasons. He joined the Los Angeles Lakers and won championships there in 2009 and 2010. He signed with the Bulls in 2014.

Also Thursday, the Spurs signed:

Dejounte Murray, their top draft pick this year. The 6-foot-5 guard out of Washington was the 29th overall pick after averaging 16.1 points and 4.5 assists in his lone season NBA 2K17 Coins with the Huskies. Murray is averaging 11.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 24.8 minutes through five games in the Summer League.

6-foot-10 forward Davis Bertans, 23, who played the last two seasons with Laboral Kutxa in the Spanish league after three seasons in the Serbian league. Bertans has been part of the Latvian national team since 2011.

7-foot center Dewayne Dedmon, 26, who averaged 4.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in 12.2 minutes during 58 games with Orlando last season.

Bryn Forbes, the 6-foot-3 guard who averaged 14.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 28 minutes as a senior for Michigan State last season.

Ryan Arcidiacono,another 6-foot-3 guard who helped lead Villanova to the NCAA title last season and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2016 NCAA Final Four after scoring 16 points and setting up the game-winning three-pointer in the championship game.
