    Re: NBA 2K15 Official MyLEAGUE/MyGM Thread

    Finished my first season of MyLeague with the Lakers. We finished 22-60 (oof!) and last place in the Pacific and Western Conference. It was a rough year but understandable knowing we're in a rebuild. James Harden won league MVP and the Chicago Bulls led by a now healthy Derrick Rose won the 2014-15 NBA Finals over the Houston Rockets.

    In my last update I talked about wanting to make a move if it was smart at the deadline. We shopped Jeremy Lin a bit but teams showed little interest in taking on his $8mil+ remaining contract so we stayed put.

    At the moment in my franchise I'm a few days removed from the Finals in June so I have a full offseason ahead. Notable players currently on the roster that will become free agents include the afore-mentioned Lin, Jordan Hill, Wesley Johnson, Ronnie Price, Carlos Boozer, Tarik Black and Steve Nash. So there will undoubtably be a number of changes in the look of this team.

    Not changing next year will be the ever growing presence of Ed Davis. Davis had a very solid season and started down the stretch when Boozer and Hill were banged up. We'll also get Julius Randle back after he missed all but the opener last season so the Lakers look bright in the post heading into the 2015-16 season. Also of note, Kobe Bryant is also expected back and healthy to start the season. Bryant missed the final month of the 2014-15 season with a strained achilles but should be ready for the opener next fall.

    That's all for now. Will update with information on the draft and the offseason FA period soon.

      Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I had a rookie who was rated 82. He progressed to 83 the following year but has regressed the next two years and he's not an 80 rating.

      What am I doing wrong? His potential is a A-.

        Offseason in my Magic franchise was quite an interesting one. LBJ, KLove both resigned. Kobe retired and that freed up the Lakers books, but they for some reason signed Brook Lopez, Paul Millsap, and Enes Kanter, after having julius Randle already. They also got Monta Ellis and DAngelo Russel. Knicks got Okafor, Goran Dragic, and Gerald Green. The thing that excited me the most, was knowing that Millsap would be a FA, I changed Horford to PF hoping they would sign a center.. And they signed the biggest one, Marc Gasol. Pretty nice big 3 for the Hawks now

        As for my Magic, I salary dumped Frye and Ben Gordon (including Fournier in one of the deals). Drafted Kelly Oubre (athletic FREAK) at the SF position, but Tobias Harris didn't take a matching offer in FA and took my qualifying offer instead , so he's still on the books for one more year. I didn't think I would do anything big free agency wise, but after looking at the PGs coming off the books the next 2 years and seeing no good options for A Vucevic trade in the future offseason I secded to swing for Brandon Knight as my starting PG and got em.

        Going into year two my line up:
        PG: Brandon Knight (86)
        SG: oladipo (83)
        SF: Oubre Jr (76)
        PF: Gordon (80. My gem.. 85 vert, 75+ speed/quickness, 83 help, 83+ reb now, 78 3pt)
        C: Vucevic (85)
        6th: Tobias Harris (81)
        7th: Payton (77)
        8th: Kyle Oquinn (77)
        9th: Glen Robinson 3 (72)

        Still plan on going for AD in the offseason to play center and trade Vuc to a team that needs him

          Managed to rebuild the Lakers in a year. Simmed through the first season trading for Isaiah Thomas Miles Plumlee and Shabazz Muhammad. Wound up having the 3rd worst record in NBA but picks aren't protected in 2K I guess? So I had to trade for the 3rd pick giving up Ed Davis and future picks. Whatever wasn't that big of a deal considering I was going to draft C anyway. Got Towns and signed Jimmy Butler for 4/62. Also resigned Jordan Hill 3/24.91 and Jeremy Lin 2/8. Nash retired and I hired him as assistant coach to Van Gundy. Kobe didn't and is somehow averaging 18 PPG 4 RPG 4.6 APG 43% FG 40% 3PT at 37 playing 27 MPG . Playing with Mikes real FT% sliders and 19 games in Lakers are tied for 3rd best record in League with Cavs (Kevin Love 5/80 and Lebron 4/95 stayed)

            The New Orleans Pelicans, while mourning the loss of Jimmy Graham from NOLA this offseason have new found excitement in the third place team in the competitive Western Conference. Since getting Tyreke Evans back from his broken ankle, the Pelicans have won six games in a row, including a home and away against Durant, Westbrook and the Thunder. Ibaka got revenge on his old team (dealt in a trade including Ryan Anderson and Ray Allen) with a 21 point, 11 rebound and 4 block outing, while Tyreke Evans flirted with a triple double dropping a season high 39 points with 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Anthony Davis continues his reign as the leading rebounder and shot blocker in the NBA, while pouring in 22 points per game and has moved into the top 5 in the MVP race. David West has been amazing off the bench, providing spirited runs and a deadly midrange, shooting over 60% since coming to the New Orleans.

            I've been simming two games and playing one as of late, and then also playing matchups that I find interesting. I may increase the difficulty or adjust some sliders as I have been beating good teams pretty regularly (currently on All-Star). I am currently up 20 points at half time vs the 1st place Bulls, which is a bit of an anomaly. My wins have been between 5 and 12 points over top teams lately.

              I will play with my hometown Sixers. Hope to build through the draft for 1 more year and then go after a big time FA to complement the young stars (well hoping their young high draft picks will develop into stars.)

                When does the damn game stop telling me stats from last season and start commenting on the current season?

                  In my 3rd season with the Hawks in MYGM and i dont really know where to go from here. In my first season i won the Finals with the original team and the only move i made was getting CJ Mccollum from the Blazers at the deadline, then funnily enough i played the Blazers in the Finals. I won 4-1 and Teague got the Finals MVP. Also in the first season i made some deals and picked up an additional 1st round pick. So i had the 4th and 18th pick. I choose Justise Winslow from Duke at 4 and Willie Cauley Stein at 18. So i addressed my 2 biggest needs (rebounding and athleticism off the bench) and looked to make another finals run. I decided to sim the season and get to the playoffs for a back to back chance. Somehow i went 39-43 and barely made the 8th seed. I still made the conference finals but lost to the Magic (signed Dragic) who got swept in the finals.


                  I had to make some tough cuts going into season 3. Cap space was running dry and i needed to extend Teague. So i cut Korver (regressed to a 68 in game) and Demaree Carroll (69). Used that money to extend Teague w/ a 3yr 30mil deal. Heres the current team and how i got them.

                  PG- Teague (3yr, 30mil extension)/ Schroder (1 yr left)
                  SG- Troy Daniels (2yr, 6 mil FA)/ Darnell Eaton (1st round pick 2016)/ Terran Petteway (2nd round 2015)
                  SF- Justise Winslow (1st round 2015)/Thabo (1yr left)/Gerald Wallace(min deal)
                  PF- Millsap (2 year, 24 mil extension after year 1) Mike Scott (1yr left)
                  C- Horford (4yr 44 extension in year 2)/WCS (draft)/ Zaza Pachuila (min deal)

                  I have a ton of FAs after this year (7). Probably not gonna resign Millsap. Other than Schroder and Scott, im gonna let everybody walk. I could go 2 ways: Make a splash in FA this upcoming year, or blockbuster trade.

                    Desperation Post here....

                    Does anyone here know how to use the "Grass is Always Greener" persuasive pitch? I have a stud player that I pissed off for some real 2kish BS reason and now he won't re-sign. So I straight up bought VC points to get get this GM upgrade. Kicking myself now that I've purchased a GM upgrade that I can't figure out how to use. Any experience with this? I would appreciate any response!

                      Have you tried going into a conversation with the player? Maybe the pitch is on there.

                        I don't understand this game sometimes.

                        Playing on Superstar Sim as the Grizz, going up against the Warriors.

                        I stick Tony Allen on Klay Thompson, he proceeds to go 13-19 with 32 points...ok

                        The thing that really bothered me was that the Warriors frontcourt of Marrese Speights and Draymond Green outrebounded Gasol and Randolph by 15 rebounds, even though I selected "crash defensive glass" in the coach settings. Seeing stats like this kill the realism factor for me.

                            I'm thinking of simming on a progressive scale. I've played the first 8 games so far in my Bucks GM mode, and I'm thinking of simming the remaining 90% of the season.

                            Each season after that, I'll increase by 10%. So season 2, I'll play 16 games and sim the rest.

                            For the playoffs, I'll use the same ratios.

                            I feel this will help me get into a team that's more mine sooner.

                              It does happen, but you have to be close to halfway done with the season.

                                Loving the new patch so far. I started a new MyLeague with the Sixers on SS/Sim and I'm getting some really great games. Pre-patch, I'd play SS/sim and just get pissed but my win/loss wasn't realistic on as/sim so I was stuck in this middle ground of what to do. SS/sim feels realistic while remaining fun. Nice job 2K
