Expansion : A Pittsburgh Phantoms NBA 2K17 My League Journey

[peavy_44]

Welcome to my NBA 2k17 My League Expansion with the Pittsburgh Phantoms!


Notes:

Sliders Used : Armor & Swords NBA 2K17 Pro Custom Red Set except I use USER TIMING for shooting

Quarters 12 mins

I also added the Seattle Sonics to the Western Conference.

Goal is to play every game and post screenshot recaps etc.

Will have storyline stories posted as well when necessary.

I will keep it as realistic as possible.


A little backstory here, I have been an avid sports gamer my entire life beginning back on the Nintendo with Tecmo Bowl and Blades of Steel. Throughout college and entering the real world, like most, I lost a lot of my free time where I would game. Sadly, I woke up one morning last March with limited vision in my left eye which turned out to be Myopic Degeneration for which there is no cure. So, now that my life is somewhat slowed down sadly and a lot more stressful on a daily basis I am back to gaming more and keeping my sanity that way. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the expansion package put in by 2K and am going to make this as fun and exciting as possible. I am open to any and all suggestions. Feel free to let them fly!

The Pittsburgh Phantoms 2016-2017 Season Opens Up with the Philadelphia 76ers at home at PPG Paints Arena!

PHANTOMS WIN THEIR OPENER IN COMEBACK FASHION!

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA OF BASKETBALL!


After trailing by 15 for most of the first and early second halves, the Phantoms would come from behind to beat the 76ers by 13 points lead by player of the game Brandon Jennings! Kay Felder had the highlight of the night, shaking Philadelphia PG Sergio Rodriguez and rising up for a big flush right in front of 76ers big man Joel Embiid!

Phantoms win back to back games to begin the season!

In a game where the Timberwolves lost star SF Andrew Wiggins, the Phantoms were able to overcome an early 18 point deficit to pull away in the second half to get their second win of the season. Nikola Jokic is proving why he was drafted with the first overall selection in the expansion draft as this gives him back to back double-doubles to begin the year!
