Hello and welcome to RJ1992's A What If 2k18 MyLeague starring the Minnesota Timberwolves

First, off I had tried making a 2k18 MyGM dynasty as the Atlanta Hawks but I just do not care for the new story mode driven MyGM in 2k this year, especially since it doesn't allow you the opportunity to start in the offseason. As such I am making and sticking with this 2k18 MyLeague dynasty playing as the Minnesota Timberwolves.

I haven't documented and stuck with one of my franchises in a long time but hope to do so with this one. I hope I'll finally have the time to keep up with this and not get side tracked by all the goings-ons of my life such as personal/family life, work, and college. Something I am going to try different in this franchise is that I will not be mentioning settings or ratings. The only settings I will be mentioning is the change in season length and playoff length. The season length is changed from 82 games down to just 29 games and the playoff length for the quarterfinals, semifinals, and conference finals is changed from best of 7 to a best of 3. The NBA finals will be changed from a best of 7 to a best of 5. Just basketball. Finally, I will focus solely on the Minnesota Timberwolves as that is the team I will be playing as.

More details to come in future posts - stay tuned and enjoy!
