Which NBA Teams are the best for a rebuild in MYGM/MYLEAGUE?

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

The story is that the owner is a fan enamored with analytics. He sees a report that player X is playing great based on analytics and orders you to acquire that player.



You can completely ignore his request, or attempt to make the deal. If you successfully make the deal the assistant GM would not make a trade on his own.



What I am not sure on is what happens if you never attempt to acquire the player. I am fairly confident nothing happens other than the owner getting unhappy, but not absolutely sure.

Thanks for the response. I may go ahead & continue my already injury riddled season. I was afraid the user had absolutely no control over the trade & from examples it doesn't seem like it's top tier players we have to trade for. I'm fine with that.

Has anyone else experienced lots of injuries early on? My players are dropping back to back.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

I didn't because I was doing a test run and knew he'd just trade for him anyway. Plus the player your owner/his son wants (in my case, Harrell, in your case, Lawson) gets put on the untouchables list so you'll never actually be able to trade for him.

Yeah I just traded off bad contracts because I was trying to get to the 2nd season and I couldn't sign free agents, which was weird. I was gonna stick with this MyGM but the first owner ended up buying back the team after selling him the same season.....haven't figured out how to stick with the second owner and move to Seattle (if you even can lol)...gonna stick to MyLeague again this year once some solid sliders come out.

Ah didn't notice him being on the untouchables list. Makes sense to put him there as a way to make sure the normal sim engine doesn't involve him in a CPU/CPU trade, but it also sucks that the user has no control whatsoever in that.

As for relocation and keeping the new owner, at the dinner with the first owner did you tell him about Seattle?

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

Just to be clear, most of the "broken" features in MyLeague/MyGM come after the first season, right?

So I can just play through the first season of MyGM (unfortunately without the ability to put a custom roster or draft class in) until a patch comes out to hopefully fix stuff that would happen after that?

I didn't, I thought that would mess it up, are you supposed to tell him about it?

Lakers or 76ers have good pieces already and would be really fun

No, I thought you not telling him would mean his buy bid would fail. I told him because I wanted him to buy the team, and figured he needs all the information he can get.

Doing a bit of googling, starting to look like there are no branches. Haven't found anyone who was able to successfully relocate.

And the story only lasts one year.

Little bummed that it is starting to look like all the choices are just window dressing that don't really matter or influence anything.

Damn, looks like I'll be playing MyLeague over MyGM for sure then. I got so excited when I heard about all the analytical stuff and the potential seattle relocation (for obvious reasons lol). At least I can do a MyLeague and do a expansion with 6 teams, one of them being Seattle like I always do.

You'd still be able to manually relocate your team to Seattle, but this would have been nice to give a in game story behind the move.

Thank you Lakers sounds very interesting to me, i think i will start with them..sad that kobe is gone, but i hope i find in draft a good solution

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

Went with the Lakers for myGM. I liked the story, ended up tanking and taking one of the big three prospects that the storyline resolves around. Then got Durant in Free agency. The dynasty starts now

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

Hello. Anyone playing MyGM/MyLeague? Seems custom roster is only available in myleague. How about the coach mode workaround thru simcast live?

Yeah but I didn't want to have to play another run through year one with NO, then through year two (and three?) and then finally get to be in Seattle, I'll just do a MyLeague expansion so I can start in year one, plus I can do 30(36)-team control so you don't see Durant and Lebron go to Utah and Memphis lol, which was another major issue I personally had with MyGM. I might do another run through with a team and not actually plan on relocating to Seattle or anywhere and just be realistic from the start.

Re: Official NBA 2k18 MyLeague/MyGm Thread

After starting a quick initial MyGM to see what the mode is out, I REALLY cant wait for the custom rosters to come out so I can start a real MyLeague, the lack of players in the FA pool is ASTOUNDING.

The troll in me wants to take the Lakers and relocate them to Seattle....
