Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
It's hard af to develop in the NBA in this game. Coaching matters. Coaching system and style matters. One bad fit like Boogie Cousins and you won't ever have a winning season. Tendencies really really really really matter. They must fit within the team's system and they must have the ability to handle their tendencies. The algorithm for MyLeague is very challenging. To the point, I kinda got pissed and I am going to revise my draft classes.
Please note, that players regress in this game and just cause you get a player who has potential superstar all over him, don't think he won't fail if you place him in a bad environment. Sign players who fit the system. For the first time since I played a sports game, you really have to build around the system and the players within it.
It's not easy like it was in previous years. You must do your homework as development isn't easy. You can get your player's potential to a 99 and cry watching him be stuck at 75.
2k devs did their thing on this one. My only advice is to fix the contracts. It ruins the game. You have to add more teams due to the contract issue.
I deleted my first half cause I don't want dev to go back and remove something that's amazing for gamers.Last edited by King Ken; 10-03-2017, 03:29 AM.Comment

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
This year everything I like to do I can’t. I like to make Allen Iverson myplayer but the CAP is bad. I like to add Allen Iverson to MyGM and try to get the sixers to the playoffs. I played mycareer and I cant make open layups of a fast break. I can’t use accurate draft classes because of the broken CAP.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
Started MyLeague with Magic. Downloaded Rosters with latest injuries and changes, downloaded nationalballa draft class and i feel ready for this to be my long term myleague. I like a young core in my team, i feel like there is some work to do, but i won't change too much and will try to develop what i have and add players i feel would fit and improve my team overall.
I didn't like Speights and Afflalo so i traded them. I didn't want them to take minutes from younger guys and i felt i didn't really needed them. I traded Speights to OKC for Huestis and 2018 Bulls 2nd round pick and i traded Afflalo to Wolves for Marcus Georges-Hunt and a 2nd round pick. I signed Jarell Martin as an insurance if one of my big gets injured and he's young and i thought he would fit in with our core.
I had the overall idea of how my rotation would look like but i wasn't sure who to start at SF. I decided to go with Simmons, i think his defense and being a glue guy would help as Fournier and Vucevic would be two main offensive powers and i Ross can come in and score off the bench. I see Isaac playing mostly PF and getting about 20 minutes per game. I wanted to give Hezonja a chance and he will be getting 10-15 minutes per game. The rest of bench rotation are Biyombo and Mack as substitutes for C and PG
I won the first game against the Heat 102-98. Man it was a tough game, i was really struggling to stop Dragic, he was really hard to stop. Whiteside was really difficult to keep of the glass and he blocked a couple of shots, he was in a bit of a foul trouble so that helped a lot. James Johnson did all the little things for them, Waiters and Ellington hit open shots and it was a close game through all 48 minutes.
I won because everybody contributed. Vucevic was the player of the game, he really stretched the floor and took Whiteside off his comfort zone, he was hitting it from the mid range and really carried our offense. Aaron Gordon looked great and scored around 20. Isaac was a matchup problem and score around 12, Fournier add 15/4/4, Payton scored 11 and most of it came in the 4th quarter, he also added 9 assists.
Next game is against the Nets, we are favorites in that one and i am looking to start the season with 2 wins.Comment

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
I just had 4 players go down in a single MyGM game all with literal broken ankles
Has 2K said anything about when they might address this? Its kind of hard to play when your star players are getting injured non stop. DeRozan went down on game 1 of the season with a broken ankle in the third, and Lowry went down on game 8 with a broken ankleComment

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
2K has been ignoring their fictional draft classes for years. It's remarkable how bad they are. You cannot use them, you have to DL a class. Otherwise it will ruin your MyLeague."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
Yeah those 2K Draft classes get annoying AF in general but especially in MyCareer cause you can’t edit them.
I take the time every year and edit EVERYTHING on a draft class for pick 1-30.
I took the Tendencies from Hassan Whiteside/Kristaps Porzingis/KAT & Drummond and edited them accordingly to a Center/PF & A Blend of Both for a Stretch 5. For a
SF/SG I Did a mix of Harrison Barnes/Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson & DWade.
For PG’s I Did CP3 & Kemba.
I use the same process for Attributes and since we only have 31 Faces To edit I write down the Hair, Facial Hair, Mouth & Nose etc. as to not have 2 same edits per Preset Scan.
I could care less about the second RD in the draft so I go through every player and set their Overall at 50 and set the potential at 50 too in hopes that they don’t progress and actually stick to a team but rather end up in Free Agency cause theirs only 31 faces to edit per draft so I hate to see too many similar looking players.
For players 1-30 I fix all the accessory colors to how their set for every player in the game like so they’re actually In Sync with their teammates.
Arm Sleeve Color For Arm/Elbow Accessories
Team Color 1 For wristbands etc
Black for finger wraps etc
Uniform Team Color 1 (Not sure if that’s the right name but you get the point) For Leg Accessories.
The Highest Rated player in this first draft class I made is a 76 with a potential setting of 80-82 so it can be somewhat realistic.
I put Zoom Rev 2017’s on ALL the players but you guys can edit those if you wanna download my Draft Class I’m at DVaz3 for Xbox.

From someone who hasn't bought the game yet, largely in protest of the nerf'd CAP system, this sounds insanely promising.It's hard af to develop in the NBA in this game. Coaching matters.

Can I get a general read on the state of MyLeague from some of the offline vets here who are only concerned with realistic gameplay and realistic MyLeague progression?
After almost a month of playing, just HOW bad is the CAP system once we get three or four years (and beyond) into MyLeague? How broken are contract offers and requests? What huge gamebreaking glitches are there? Despite its flaws (and there were many), I still put hundreds of hours into MyLeague in 2K17 and enjoyed most of it.
I've bought a 2K game every year since NBA 2K2, not having it this year kinda sucks.
The way I usually play MyLeague is pick a team, simulate the first year until the first draft, then basically simulate and play GM until we're a playoff team (which sometimes might be another two seasons). If the team sucks, I might only play one game manually in an 82 game season just to get a feel for how the team actually plays. Will this play style lead me to encountering a lot of bugs at this stage?
I am so tempted go buy the game right now, but the problems this year worry me so much

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
So the first perk I got in myGM mode was the ability to see opposing GM’s trust, but where do I go to see the trust levels? I can’t find them anywhere!
And does any one know how to join an online myLEAGUE?Comment

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
Took 4 years but I finally got a Championship with the Hawks on GM. We beat the Thunder in Game 7 down by 9 with 3 minutes left. It was nuts, every time we got the ball, we scored and when they did, they bricked. This was the starting 5 line-up
PG - Kemba Walker
SG - Seth Curry
SF - Anderson (Drafted him)
PF - Petrovic (The guy from the story draft)
C - Joel Embiid
Funny thing is that the Owner wants Seth replaced because he's not "good enough". We destroyed them in the paint though. I got a double double with Embiid and Petrovic every game.Last edited by bdeezy89; 10-03-2017, 07:58 PM.Comment

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
My dude. I've been trying so hard to find some information on some of those story prospects.
Would you be so kind to post some of the attributes for the SF and the C? Obviously not going to ask for all.. but maybe some shooting, dunks, speed, strength etc.
Can either of them shoot from deep? Can the C rebound? etc.
Really wanna do a fantasy draft with those 2 possibly in mind to build around through the draftComment

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread
My goodness those dudes are crazy. Especially the center. I'm so lost on how I'm going to proceed LOL. Who would I even draft in a fantasy draft to compliment them, they seem like #1 and #2 options :3Here's all 3. Remember that these ratings are after 3 years
For the durability. Odell is 88, Mirko is 86, & Jackson is 90.
How come the 3rd guy is a different one then the one I got? I don't remember his name, but he's a PG with "Westbrook driving and Curry shooting"Comment
